(More customer reviews)I have been wanting to get my family active into bike riding for some time. We live within three miles of shops, restaurants, entertainment, etc, yet we always drove. When my daughter was three, we spent a weekend at a local resort that had a lot of riding trails. I saw a gentleman hooking the trail gator up to his bike and stopped and chatted. He only had great things to say about it and I thought this was the perfect solution. When we returned home, I ordered the Trail Gator from Amazon. When it arrived and my husband installed it, it was pretty easy to attach. As other reviews state, you do need to adjust it a bit to the side, otherwise your child will lean quite a bit. We had to play with it for a while to find the perfect setting so our daughter would be sitting upright. However, now that we have had it for about 9 months, it is easy to attach and use. I ride my bike to work sometimes, and remove her bike from mine quickly. It also attaches just as fast. The biggest issue I have with the arrangement (not a problem specific to this product), is that she always seems to hit the brakes going uphill. We've decided that it is probably an adjustment issue, with her trying to scoot further up the seat as we go uphill. She is learning to pedal uphill, which helps a lot. Another problem, again, not specific to the product, is that my bike doesn't always like to shift down when I'm pulling her up the hill. I need to shift down before I get to the hill, otherwise I really struggle making it up in the higher gear. This attachment requires that you remove the training wheels, or purchase the flip-up type (due to going around corners). My daughter doesn't yet ride without training wheels, so we don't go anywhere and let her ride on her own, unattached. Overall, this product has been fantastic for my family. We ride our bikes at least once a weekend to get lunch, icecream, coffee or to the local greenway for a picnic. Sometimes we ride around the neighborhood just to ride. She loves to go on short trips on weeknights after work/daycare. This product has really enriched our lives and is hopfully setting up our daughter for a lifelong love of riding.
