WeeRide Bicycle Pet Carrier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Layla the puppy loves to ride in her bike basket. Shes getting bigger and still hasnt outgrown it. It is very convenient to carry all of her toys, doggie bags and my wallet and water in the same basket. We ride all around town and often park and take walks in the park. The bike basket is easy to clean and very universal for most bikes.

Radio Flyer Classic Red Tricycle with Push Handle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought this tricycle for our three-year-old and had the same problem as everyone else here has - the steering on the handlebars just doesn't stay put.We've had to adjust ours numeous times too.It gets used, but it just isn't all that safe.You HAVE to use a helmet with this guy because it's VERY easy to tip over, which is a huge deal for the age group for which this is intended.It's nice that they kept the classic styling but there's one thing they shouldn't have kept - how dastardly easy it is to get your foot under that back bar and scrape the top of your foot!I did that a zillion times as a kid and now, I'm doing it again with my child's bike!I HATE that!And, I have the scars to prove it.

All-in-all, if you like nostalgia, then by all means, avail yourself of this product.But quite frankly, I'd buy something else more study.I definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND anyone letting their child use this product unsupervised.It just tips over way too much.I get the willies each time I see this guy go down the driveway.Good thing I've been there each time this thing has tipped over.

Schwinn Turismo Swivel Double Jogger Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I guess it's a fairly new product since I can't seem to find any reviews for it anywhere. We have a 2 year old and a 2 month old, and wanted a stroller for every day walks and occasional trips. We don't expect to do much jogging (read almost none) but wanted the larger bicycle type wheels for a softer ride. We've had this about a week now and are very pleased with it. Some points they don't mention in the description-

-The handlebar height is adjustable
-the front wheel can be locked and unlocked remotely from a button and trigger gimmick located just in front of the handlebar (yeah for you joggers!)
-it comes with speakers (placed in mesh pockets in the sun shades) that you can connect to an mp3 player
-The seat belts can be adjusted to 3 different heights
-parents also get two cup holders (with rubber inserts, no less, to keep your drink from spilling!) and a small caddy to hold keys/ cell phone/ mp3 player etc.

The seat backs recline individually and are adjusted by tightening/loosening a belt, but the way they're adjusted is much easier that some others I've seen.
The seat backs are about 17"- 18" tall, unlike some 12-13" ones I've seen.
The seats are reclined back a bit even in the most 'upright' setting but if you want your kid to to be able to look out and front more easily, you can use the seat insert to prop his/her head.
It's very easy to maneuver and seems to have a really soft ride (the kids bottoms will thank you :) )

The size and weight are the only gripes I have about this stroller. It's fairly heavy and very large (even though the rear wheels can be snapped off) when folded (takes up 3/4 of the space in my mid size SUV). It should fit into the trunk of a standard car but you wouldn't have room for too much else.

Considering what you pay for it - it's a great buy.

InStep Run Around 2 Double Jogging Stroller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great stroller for the money. The only problem with this stroller is that there is no padding for removing and washing in the seats. I used cushions from another jogging stroller. Also, the storage basket hangs low and drags on the ground if you put something in it. It is removable with buttons, so I just moved it a bit higher on the stroller and now it works great!! For the money spent, my kids love it and it fits through most doorways. I love the behindseat storage and the parent console. Good buy for parents wanting to use for fairs, carnivals, jogging or walks to the park.

InStep Safari Swivel Double Jogging Stroller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this stroller a few weeks ago and have walked plenty with it. It is so easy to maneuver and push.It is so agile!The seat backs do lay back a bit, which is a little weird for my almost 3 yr old, but is fine for my 6 monther.I had my heart set on the BOB duallie, but with a $500 price, it wasn't an option, this is a fine alternative.THe color combo is awesome-and the swivel wheel is incredible.I will never buy a jogging stroller without a swivel wheel after using this one!!It is a tad on the heavy side when folded, but it is still doable-

I do have some suggestions for InStep though, if anyone from there is reading my review!:

1.If you are going to continue to make a sun shade, at least make one that is functional that will actually
provide shade!!No sense wasting money producing the current shade version, it is practically useless.Charge a few bucks more and make a great one (I have a BOB single stroller and the shade is incredible!!!)

and

2.Provide some type of mesh pocket within the child's seat for them to put a water bottle/snack etc.There is great parent storage under this stroller-but nothing for the kids to utilize! (I ended up strapping the little parent console part onto to the bar in front of the kids so that my toddler can keep her snack there. It is an ok solution-but now I have nothing, and often her snacks/cups fall out.)

Thule T2 2-Bike Hitch Mount Rack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the 2", 2-bike T2 last year for use on our 2001 Honda Odyssey.Over the years I have had all forms of bike carriers and must admit that the T2 is my favorite one to date.

Here's why:

1) quick and easy to assemble
2) hitch mounted = less wind drag/noise and better fuel economy than roof-mounted alternatives
3) no front wheel removal
4) <30-second bike mount/dismount
5) no finagling to makes bikes fit on rack so as not to scratch adjacent bikes
6) no swaying/banging of bikes against one another
7) accomodates all types of frames without additional adapters
8) "lockable" (with a caveat - see below)
9) once mounted, loaded, and travelling down the road, the entire rack is ROCK-SOLID; it does not rattle nor sway and the overall build quality is sturdy yet relatively lightweight
10) unloaded rack easily swings up and out of the way with the push of a lever.I often leave the rack on the van - if I had the Snug Tite lock, I would probably never remove it!
11) expandable from 2 to 4 bikes

The T2 is not perfect though:

1) the locking front wheel arm is not very secure.Why?All you need to do is deflate the front tire and swing the arm over the wheel or remove the front skewer and lift the fork off and voila - stolen bike! In essence, the lock on the wheel arm is a DETERRENT rather than an effective security device.Instead of buying the lock cores, go out and do what I did - buy 2 cable locks to secure the bikes to the rack.At least with the cable you can secure both wheels and the bike frame to the rack.
2) since this rack does not swing-away to either side (it does swing downward, but only by a few inches), opening the rear hatch is not possible once bikes are mounted.You must first unload the bikes to access anything in the rear storage area (remember I have a van, this may not apply to other vehicle applications).

So, in summary, if you're looking for a sturdy, easy to use, and versatile hitch-mounted rack, I would highly recommend the T2.I just hope Thule resolves issues 1&2 in future generations of the T2 - doing so would make the T2 a nearly perfect bike carrier!
