Sports reviews of InStep Take 2 Double Bicycle Trailer (Blue)
Customer Review: Poorly designed seating system
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
The seating system in this product is horribly designed and unworkable for one much less two children. The seat is a sling style hung between a rigid upper bar and a nylon strap that extends between the two sides of the frame under the child's legs. The nylon strap cannot be tightened sufficiently and there is not enough seating material slung between the upper bar and the lower strap. As a result the child ends up sliding forward and off the seat - very uncomfortable and unpleasant for the passenger. If you attempt a two child configuration, you'll have two children smooshed together and sliding off. The actual frame and wheel system seems well-designed, but the attachment to the pulling cycle is sub par.Customer Review: Too small
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
This bike trailer is way too narrow to comfortably carry two larger children (35-50 pounds). It would be good for my 33 pound son alone, but I don't think the trailer would be usable if we had another child. I had to take it apart and return it after discovering this.Customer Review: it sucks
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
Sure it's easy to assemble and attach, but the company probably spent all their energy figuring out a "quick and easy" assembly and abandoned any thought on a child's comfort. I bought this for my 15 month old son to ride with my 18 month old neice. she was okay for 2 minutes and then she just wanted out of it. My son wriggled in it and the straps got tangled. We can usually overlook small things, but it was impossible to try and make the seat work well. it's just cheap material hanging from a bar with uncomfortable and difficult straps with no padding. Definitely not a "quick 'n easy" harness system. There's no structure to the seat and it also lacked padding for back support. If you really want a trailer and a GOOD one, you should look at the more expensive ones (I saw several good ones at REI).
I finally decided I'd rather get the iBert child seat for my bike, since I've done my research on it and it has received 88 five star reviews, an award, and recognition on parenting magazine ^_^ .
Customer Review: Falling Apart
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
We bought this trailer for Christmas, planning on using it for the ocassional bike ride. We've probably used the trailer 15 to 2o times in the last 10 months. The other day I put my son in, attached the seat belts, started riding, and heard a loud pop. The nylon strap that holds the seat up off the fabric floor had snapped. Before I could even get a good look at it, the nylon seat belt in between my son's legs also snapped. I've looked it over pretty well and don't think there's a way I can repair it. We're so disappointed. I would not recommend this product.Customer Review: Still have not received this item...
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
I ordered this item April 3, 2008 and have still not received nor been charged for this item. Tried calling customer service, left two voicemails and no one has called me back letting me know the status of this item.
Note: Received item June 11, 2008. Actual product it alright at best. Cloth is very cheap looking and fraying at the edges already from use and the left wheel is warped to the left so it doesn't ride smoothly. Called company to receive exchange or refund pending damage in mail and no call as of July 1, 2008...big surprise...
