Summary: You get what you pay for
Comment: This cart will cart things around, but you get what you pay for. There is a reason this cart is cheap. Compare this cart to a cart that costs $300 to $400 and you will see a clear difference. Since purchasing this cart I find myself comparing other carts to this one while I drive. Better carts can be seen from a block away. Better wheels and tires, more support in bottom ect....
Get to much weight in this cart and the nylon floor could rub on the ground.
Not bad, not good.

Summary: Yep, it fell apart on me...
Comment: Like many, I was initially quite happy with this product--I couldn't afford a Burley, and this was under $100 at Target. However, the trailer has slowly fallen apart on me. I leave it outside, but covered underneath a porch and in a mild, dry climate (California). The snaps tore out of the fabric after a month, which cannot be repaired. This means that the cover is only held in place by the velco. The front wheel (in stroller mode) is no longer near true, and jams at a 15-degree angle consistently. Worst of all, the 1-inch webbing that runs along the bottom of the seat has rotted through. I consider the trailer unusable now.
The only reason I am not giving it one star is that it might hold up better if garaged and lightly used. The price is right, and the design is fine. The quality is simply poor.

Summary: Good product at a good price
Comment: I use this trailer for cargo not for babies and it is just exactly what I need. I took all the upper cover off and added a thin plywood floor and it is performing really well for grocery trips with my motor assist bike. Would recommend it for cargo or babies.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Poorly designed seating system
Comment: 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 Rating:
Summary: it sucks
Comment: 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 ^_^ .
