This tow-behind child carrier fits most bike styles, thanks to a versatile bike coupler. The maximum weight limit is 80 pounds (two 40-pound children) with an additional 12 pounds in the rear-seat storage area. Some assembly is required.
Use only mild soap and water for the best results. Rinse off the wheels and the Safe Connection point to remove any dirt. Lightly scrub the fabric to remove any spots or stains as necessary. The seat padding can be fully removed from the trailer for cleaning.
So, it`s the maximum amount of weight the vehicle or trailer is capable of handling with everything loaded based off it`s design. Overloading beyond this number will cause excessive stress on your vehicle`s engine, brakes, transmission and other mechanical parts they were not designed to handle.
The weight of your trailer can be figured out by looking at the VIN sticker located on the frame of your trailer. Locate the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) on the sticker. The GVWR is the empty weight of the trailer plus the capacity that the trailer is rated for (also known as the MAX GVCC ).
Description. The InSTEP Quick and Easy trailer conveniently attaches to any bicycle. It has a 3-point harness system to offer a comfortable ride for your children. Its 16″ pneumatic tires have molded rims that provide superior performance and good looks.
Your child should be at least 12 months old to ride in a bike trailer. We`ll cover the reasons for this below, along with a few tips to stay safe while biking with your baby in a child bike trailer! There are four major health and well-being concerns for babies riding in a trailer.
They can be cleaned by lightly scrubbing with a brush and a mild environmentally friendly detergent. Do not use bleach! If the fabric starts to tear, patch it. We cannot replace trailer fabric, so take care of it and keep your trailer on the road and trails for years!
Fill a bucket with warm water and add some ordinary dish soap; also, gather a soft bristle brush, a washcloth, and some metal polish. Start with the soft bristle brush and take off some of the ingrained dirt and sand. Rinse and dry with a cloth and finish the job with some metal polish.
Your mobile bike repair kit should include a flat kit that contains a spare tube, tire levers and a pump (or CO2 cartridge). Patches with a glue tube (not the self-adhesive kind) are helpful if you run out of fresh tubes while riding.
Trailer weight is the empty weight of your fully assembled trailer. This can be checked by weighing your empty trailer at a truck stop or another location with a certified scale.
Simply put, your Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is the maximum amount of weight that your trailer is rated to carry. This number INCLUDES the weight of the trailer itself and the cargo/equipment you plan to haul.
If you don`t have enough weight on the trailer tongue, the trailer may be prone to swaying from side to side, making it difficult to control. Conversely, if you have too much weight exerted on the hitch ball, the force could overload the rear tires of the tow vehicle and push the rear end of the vehicle around.
Making sure that you are within your trailer`s weight rating is key to ensuring a safe road for everyone. Carrying too much weight on the trailer could lead to damage to the trailer and cause wreckage on the road. So before you begin hauling your next load, make sure that you are within the load rating.
Child passenger (as rider): Trailer bikes, or pedal trailers, are one-wheeled trailers (tandem trailers) with integrated seat, handle bars, and drive train, that normally attaches to the bike via the seat post (and operate very much like a tandem).
Bike seats are almost universal – certain to fit the bicycle you own, providing that the seat itself is relatively modern. If there are two rails running from nose to tail and 44 millimetres apart at their widest point, you`re in luck. Most big manufacturers now work to this specification.
The good news is that bike trailers are generally very safe. They are designed to be towed behind a bike and can even be folded up when not in use. Most bike trailers have safety features like reflectors and brake lights, which make them visible to other drivers on the road.
When pulling a bicycle trailer, never ride faster than its maximum allowable speed of 25 km/h (15 mph). You should always reduce your speed to a walking pace when turning.
Can Be Used for Multiple Sports. Some bike trailers can be converted for jogging and skiing. That will make it much easier to get outdoors with your child, regardless of the season!
Cargo bikes with boxes and cabins
These typically transport between one and three children aged between 3 months and 6 years. Some families continue to cycle with children aged up to 10, particularly if their bike is designed to accommodate older children. Specialist models can carry larger groups or even adults!
No matter what kind of bike you have, there`s almost certainly a way to attach a bike trailer to it! For the most part, bicycle trailer brands and models can be attached to bikes in a similar way. It`s usually a simple and quick process.
The one thing to be aware of, however, is that most trailers attach to your rear axle. This means they will work with just about any bike with a quick-release skewer (including bikes with disc brakes). The bike on the left has a standard quick-release to mount the trailer hitch on.

I just bought an InStep® Joyrider Bicycle Trailer and the photo’s are not very good. When attached is the bike trailer hitch supposed to attach perpedicular to the bike and the spring bends to 90 deg. when pulled. It seems odd to me, almost like there should be another part.
ANSWER : The hitch part that fastens to your bike rear axle has 3 pieces, a dimpled washer which goes on first then the hitch plate and a pin that holds the trailer to the hitch. Take off the axle nut (15 mm wrench) install the dimpled washer it goes on with the 90 deg tang facing the bike wheel and in the channel so it can’t rotate. Then put the hitch plate on, mine faced down for the correct height, line up the dimpled washer with the bumps on the hitch plate to locate it properly. reinstall the wheel nut and be sure to align the wheel so it runs straight and true (I oopsed on this the first time) then attach the trailer, it is a 90 deg hook-up then you simply put the the pin in and you are good to go. The unique hook-up makes it so smooth and dampened that you don’t even know it’s behind you. We really love ours!
