Review: WE LOVE IT! - I bought this trailer to take my 14 month old daughter on bike rides. Knowing nothing about bike trailers I did some lengthy research. While I found MANY trailers priced well over a couple hundred dollars, this one fell right into my budget. I was considering purchasing a used more expensive trailer but the more I researched, I found that the more expensive ones offered features (larger tires, different canopy system, different color schemes, brand name price inflation, etc.) I didn't need or thought were silly (like a tire for the tow arm to convert the trailer into a walking/running stroller). After all the researching, review reading and expert consulting I decided to buy the InStep Sync Single Bicycle Trailer. desertcart had the cheapest price and with 2-day free shipping I didn't hesitate to order. The assembly was very simple. There was nothing really to it really as the carriage is already assembled with the canopy already attached. There were only 3 other parts that needed to be attached: tires (which snap right in), tow arm (which slides in and safety cotter pin holds in place) and the caution flag (again 2 second pole construction and slide into frame). Bike connection might have been the most difficult task, which wasn't so difficult for me since I'm very familiar with how my tire/axel comes apart. If you have a quick release axel shaft on your bike, the installation of the hitch will take you less than a few minutes. If you have a bolt style axel, it will be slightly more difficult as you will have to remove the bolt, place the hitch assembly on, replace the bolt and reposition your tire to it's original location before tightening. TIP #1: If you have a bolt style axel, outline the bolt on the frame before removing it. This way you can reposition it to the same location before tightening it. TIP #2: Watch a youtube tutorial on installation will definitely help. I did that and didn't even have to consult the manual! Before taking off on your voyage, do make sure the tires are at proper inflation before setting out. I found that the tires were significantly under pressure. And also tighten all the straps on the carriage that hold the canopy on the frame. Many were loose but a quick pull of the straps made everything fit better. The side window panels are flexible plastic and do not have an option to open for ventilation. Both the front and back have a roll-up plastic that expose a screen for air flow-thru. Velcro hold the plastic window in place if you choose to keep it down. The front entry flap and entire back panel is secured by a long velcro strip and buttons on each side. didn't find any issue with that, however it would have been nice if the manufacture provided extra material after the velcro to overhang and provide a flap to grab to unvelcro and to also provide more of a air stopper from going through areas that weren't as secure. Connecting the trailer was a cinch after the hitch assembly was on. TIP #3: this might sound weird but positioning your bike perpendicular to the trailer allows you to very easily insert the trailer arm into the hitch assembly on the bike and slide the secure pin through both piece without difficulty. If you don't do it this way, you will be bending the spring while trying to insert into the trailer hitch which is very difficult. don't worry, the moment you pull off the trailer will align correctly. Pulling the trailer wasn't as noticeable with my 14 month old daughter as it was for my 5 year old 50lb niece! It required a lot more effort in peddling when my niece was in the trailer! You really couldn't tell the trailer was connected if it wasn't for the drag of a heavier passenger. you have full operation of your bikes turn, cornering, etc. as the spring between the bike and trailer create that nonexistent trailer feel. I took my 5 year old niece for a ride and got some feedback on trailer from her perspective. She said when the windows are down (no flow-thru) the cabin stays nice and warm. We went for a right in 50 degree weather so the cabin staying comfortable was preferred as I didn't want her getting cold. She also noted that she could feel the slightest bumps. You might be able to deflate the tires slightly to hep with that, although with no shock system, the passenger will always feel the imperfections of the ground. Riding on smooth payment would eliminate this concern. Over all, she enjoyed the ride so much that she fell asleep! Overall, very please with the purchase and would recommend to anyone wanting to take your little one for an excursion!
Review: Great for your baby! - We bought this when we had baby #4. Never had one before, as my husband and I just got bikes for the first time, since we were probably 13! Our older kids 10, 8, and 6 are into biking. So for cheap family fun we invested in bikes for us and a trailer for our then 10 month-old baby. It very easy to assemble. Even easier to set up and break down each time. It all folds in on itself. We got a trailer hitch bike rake for the minivan to hold 5 bikes and this trailer fits with lots of room to spare in the back of my Honda Oddessy. The directions say for 1 years-old and up, but our son has been super strong since births. Army crawling at 4 months and walking by 9 months, so we figured sitting in the trailer wouldn't be an issue and it wasn't. Buy the extra coupling link to connect to your bike, so there is one on each adults' bike and it makes attaching it to either bike really easy. (Only one coupling link is included to attach to one bike.) We used this all last summer, even taking it down to Destin, FL for some beautiful biking. My son loved it. Plus, there are pockets for sippy cups and toys. Not to mention plenty of room for water bottles for the rest of the family. I did add some of those custioned shoulder pads to go around the straps, just because they were hitting him across the neck and chin and I didn't want them to cause a rash. (I just used the ones off the old infant carseat he grew out of.) The straps are a 5 point harness, completely adjustable and the seat height is adjustable as well. On long trips, he falls asleep and is perfectly safe. We can hear my son ooohing at all he sees.You will feel it when pulling this trailer. I had a heck of a time once...then we realized the tires had gone flat! (Check the tires before a trip.) Once the tires were filled up, it was much easier. Going up hill sucks, but that sucks anyways! Getting started can be a pain, but once your peddling, your fine. I'm 34 and 5'2 and I can pull this...but I prefer to let my husband do it when he's with me! I thought about getting one of those seats that attaches to my seat for this summer, now that my sone is 1.5, but I'm afraid it'll throw my balance off. With all the kids, there is a a lot of stopping and starting and the trailer just seems like a safer, smarter option. Remember to practice safety. Don't ride at night and don't let little kids hang in the rear. We do it in a line from my husband & the trailer, the 3 older kids, then me watching from behind for any wipeouts. (My 6 year-old still bites the dust & my 8 year-old daughter is just as slow as me!) It's great FREE family fun and a workout. We easily can bike 6 miles before the kids start complaining. We love this trailer!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is weight capacity?**
A: I’d go with the lowest weight limit that has been found- I would think 40 would be plenty for this thing. I love it but I wouldn’t put too much weight in it. Great for our 1 year old, gonna try our 2 year old should be fine this year, if it last for the 3 year old Summer, it was way more than worth it! Got it on sale for $70 and had a great time last year! Get a helmet for safety.

**Q: Can I use this with one kid? I have one son but we plan on having more so I figure I might as well get one that sits two. Would the weight be shifted**
A: It can be used for one kid. You sit that one child in the middle - therefore NOT shifting the weight. When you are transporting 2 kids, then you seat them side by side.

**Q: Does this come with the orange safety flag, also does the plastic sides roll down so you won't overheat your child?**
A: Yes, the plastic safety flag comes with the cart.  However, the sides do not roll down.  The front and back mesh windows have provided enough ventilation that I never had a need to roll them down.

**Q: Does a safety flag come with it?**
A: Yes, an orange safety flag & pole come with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1st Trailer
*by D***A on May 10, 2012*

I chose this trailer for it's price and single seat design. Arrived in a compact box, upon opening the product is well protected with minimal waste. I believe there were 5 or 6 pieces to assemble in the box, and I was complete in about 20 minutes. The assembly was all very minor and straightforward, with or without the manual. For my first baby trailer, I couldn't be happier so far. The trailer is very lite, compact yet plenty of space for a diaper bag and other stuff. Pockets for your child in their seating area, strong harness, and a bright orange flag. There are reflectors all around, rain shield and another flap in the back that can be kept open or closed. For the price, I feel like I made a great decision, in comparison to some of the other trailers I viewed at Dick's Sports. I will Update this review once my Bike comes in the mail this week, and I have installed and tested the Trailer. ***UPDATE*** 5/20/2012 This trailer is outstanding! My bike came in the mail and after building it, I installed the quick connect with no problems. My daughter is 8 months old and enjoys getting towed around the park and to the library. I live in small town where the roads haven't been touched up in years. My daughter still manages to fall asleep on a ride, almost always. The quick connect works like a charm, quickly! I can have the trailer on or off the bike in just a few seconds. I'm actually so pleased with this trailer that I may end up ordering the stroller kit for it. Yesterday, I took a ride down some trails that were pretty rough and filled with roots. I made sure to properly adjust my daughters harness for the trail ahead and padded the bottom inside with spare diapers, just in case. It was like riding through a dry creek bed and my daughter was popped up a time or two. The harness itself held her very snugly and securly in place. She appeared to be very comfortable and made zero audible complaints during our brief trail ride. After we got through the rough stuff, I stopped and let a little slack out of her seat harness. Then I took a peak underneath of the trailer. With a loaded diaper bag, half gallon of water, large ziplock snacks for me, multiple toys, a U lock and Cable lock combo... that trailer had some weight in addition to my daughter. No hits at all. It's a good feeling to learn the limitations of your product and still feel safe. I mean, there's not incredible clearance to start with, but for a inexpensive trailer to perform on a trail of this nature without falling apart, is amazing to me. After I came home, I took the time to check every nut, bolt, rivet, and piece of plastic on the trailer. I found zero flaws other than cosmetical. I didn't expect for the trail to be as rough as is it was, but glad to know I could get through another rough patch one day if I have to. Happy Buyer!
