Amazon.com Product Description:
Take your kids along when biking to the grocery store or heading to a friend's house with the InStep Rocket bike trailer. The Rocket--which holds two children weighing up to 100 pounds combined--sports an aluminum frame with an outrigger design to protect the cabin and wheels while you ride, along with a pair of 20-inch, fast-rolling, rustproof alloy rear wheels. As a result, the trailer lets you securely zip along city streets without fearing for your children's safety. The Rocket also includes a universal coupler that attaches quickly to almost any bike. And once you arrive at your destination, you can easily convert the trailer to a stroller without using any tools at all. Just attach the included stroller wheel and push handle and you're set. Other details include a weather shield that provides extra protection in rain and wind, a rear storage area for groceries or toys, and a screened canopy for ventilation. The Rocket, which boasts a quick-release mechanism on the wheels for compact storage, measures 52 by 36 by 35 inches (W x H x D) when fully assembled and weighs 29 pounds.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good trailer, OK as a stroller
I've had this trailer since the end of the summer, and on the whole have been very pleased with it. It's very easy to assemble and disassemble, and is very light and easy to pull along.

The connection plate fit easily onto my rear skewer, and the trailer is very easy to hitch and unhitch. The connection itself uses a stiff spring that is flexible enough to allow you to lay your bike down while it's hitched (although on your derailleurs).

As a stroller it works well enough, ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - fun product
I love being able to take my toddler out biking with me! I haven't used the product as a stroller, so I can't comment on the third wheel or handle attachment. The large tires on this carrier work very well. The weight of the carrier is unnoticeable (except going up hills :-P). My one complaint would be the strapping system inside- it does not seem very comfortable for my child. It is a three strap system: one over each shoulder and one crotch strap and all three connect around the belly button. ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Tight for two
I bought this trailer and put it together myself without even reading the directions. Very easy and created well. It turns on a dime if you are using it as a stroller and works well as a trailer too of course.
I have twin 20mth old boys and wanted something that they could both fit in. The bottom of the seat is terrible. It is really built for one in my opinion. The boys slide together and basically their legs are on top of each other. It looked very uncomfortable so I pulled seats ... Read More
