Anyone have a good review for bike trailers? The kind that up to two kiddos can sit in while mom and dad break a sweat pedaling around town? We have one but it is i old and rather beat up. For some reason one of the tires keeps going flat. I think one of the newer versions would be lighter weight and easier on me!

We used to have one when Rita was little & we had a place to bike. It was the cheapest one I could find at the time, so I doubt it was the lightest option. What if you just got a new tire (or tires)? I ordered a new tire for our garage sale jogging stroller (which I never ended up using)--looked the company up online & ordered it from them. A bike shop might be able to replace trailer tires, too, if you've got a bike shop out there in the wilds of Wyoming! I don't think we've got one anywhere near here! I've always heard that Burley trailers are really great, but I think they're pretty spendy.

Hi Jen- I replaced both tires and tubes before I left the Pacific Northwest and they are both dead after the first use. :( I think the rim is warped and is ruing the tubes. I am going to work on it this winter I think.

After the first use? Bummer! Hope you can get it back into shape.

I finally gave the beast away. I would rather spend the money to buy a nice one and be able to use it than have Little Miss be scared because the trailer is acting funny and have me get a hernia trying to lug around a 100lb trailer and a 30lb toddler!
