Good product however the instructions are terrible to follow so took a while to put it together!

Bargain, check 'new and used' for returns at a good price!Good quality German engineering, everything fits as it should.The fixing points on the frame to mount the handlebar brackets are not easy to access, they are just a slit, far better if the cover had a flap to expose the full width of the frame tube.Whilst the parking brake works as it should. A pair of brakes would be a bonus for going down hill, and operated from the handlebar. The front wheel is difficult to inflate due to the access round the spokes, a bent valve stem would be easier.

Bought this to go with the Trixie bike trailer (which I'd give 5/5) – we use it for our elderly staffie Maddie who can only manage short walks (30 mins max). The idea is that she can hop in and out of her 'pram' and join us on longer walks again.It's OK to assemble – I managed it on my own with no help from Him Indoors – and is easy to push etc. The assembly instructions aren't great and it *does* take a bit of breaking in for the wheel to move smoothly (thus 4/5 rather than 5/5) but once it's settled, it works nicely and is very quick and easy to assemble and take to bits. It also folds down well and fits in a small car boot.Maddie is still getting used to riding in it at the moment – she's a bit nervous so it takes time to train her to new things – but on the short trips we're currently taking, she seem happy. I can't comment on 'off road' performance yet, but it goes will on pavements and cobbles.The set up is sturdy, well made and suitable for the tricky-to-suit medium-sized, heavier breeds. She's got loads of room in the cabin (with the Medium sized buggy) – and like popping her head out of the top window and 'periscoping' around! I also like that the cabin has both mesh and plastic panels, so you can keep the rain out if your dog is a big baby (ours is – hates weather of any kind that isn't sun).All in all, it's excellent value and both Maddie-the-staffie and I would recommend it. I haven't got any 'action' photos yet, but here she is getting used to it as an indoor bed before we started going outside... gives you an idea of how big the 'cabin' bit is.Tip: if you get one, also get some vet bed and cut to shape. It comes with a mattress type thing, but it's a bit slippery and I suspect won't wash well. If you put vet bed on top, then it's grippier for the dog so they don't slide about, cosier (works nicely as a bed-on-the-go), and you can wash it easily.

Had a little trouble putting the bar in that held the two sides apart, even hubby found it a struggle, but guess the canvas was more taut as new, with usage will become easier? Adding the conversion kit was easy. Old Lurcher loves his stroller, he can ride down the long lane to the beach, conserving his energy for paddling and playing with his beloved tennis ball, at 15 1/2 years he is in reasonable health but tires quickly, so this saves me carrying him on the way back! Even tried my big pup in it just for fun, but he looked bemused! Not used this as a trailer as don't have a bike!

Read the various reviews & thought it can't be that bad can it. Well despite the instructions, just look at the sketches. It was easy to fit & after a lot of walking nothing has come loose. The front wheel is fine the brake is fine. I re drilled the handles to make the clips easier to fit. The tyres can be inflated using a £1 adapter from any bike shop except halfords who are still in the dark ages. Its easy to push & works a treat so perhaps i know how to assemble & dismantle in less than a minute. Oh i did buy this as an Amazon return for £5.70.
