kids trailer from H*lfords

pearljamfan

im thinking of getting a trailer for my bike so me and the little 'un can go biking( hes 2) and i can get fit- i saw one in H*lfords today, looked ok but was in the box not on display, the tyres are pumped but the spokes are just plastic spokes, its just a 1 seater which is what ive been looking for because i dont see the point of him sitting on one side of the thing( balance issue?) and its fairly cheap >150€.

the only other place ive seen one seated trailers is on ebay, and id rather not buy something without looking at it.... this is long winded sorry..... ok, does anyone have this trailer, is it ok to buy, or not worth the money? is it better to spend more? or as hubby says, why dont i just get a seat on the back of my bike??? ( i dont fancy this because i think crazy toddler would escape and it getting to big for this kind of seat....)

help me please!!!!

Most people wouldn't bother with a trailer unless they have two kids. This is presumably why you can't find any.

I used a rear seat (Hamax Sleepy) with mine last autumn, until it got too cold for him. He was just over three, and never seemed inclined to escape (and he's not exactly the passive, well-behaved type).

The seatbelt isn't the same standard (by far) as the ones you get in a car seat, but there are feet straps too so he'd have to go completely "Randle McMurphy" to get out.
