Unlikely to fit if yiur biek has disc brakes.

IME you get what you pay for with these types of things - in terms of quality, ride comfort, machining etc - and it is worth bearing in mind that "big brands" like Croozer and Burley can be ten times as much as this.

You are right of course, actually they are a bit big and clunky, will look for a second hand better known brand one. Thanks BikeRS.

We got a second hand Burley from Ebay for £50.

I spent almost a whole festival lusting after these and questioning all the owners! I came to the conclusion that I will wait until I can afford a Croozer.

I have one of those - have yet to use it on a bike though, we bought it for a festival Grin

I have a friend who uses it with his bike for a 4 year old with no problems as far as I know.

Thanks guys, because our house is small, I'll be using it as both trailer and pushchair, and it needs to be kind of small, so I'll wait to get one for only one child. Thanks again!

Don't wait too long, the singles are not that much cheaper than doubles, and resale value much less.

good tip bikers, loopy, meant to ask before what made you decide to wait?
