Help? Lol, I got my stroller info down but have never researched bike trailers.

I have a brand new MBUS that we used a few times and don't care for. So I am trying to sell it and *maybe* get a trailer/stroller combo to use.

TIA!

We're looking at Chariots. My husband likes to cycle, and I'd like to run again, so the design of the Chariots seems best for us. (I've seen similar styles; one brand we saw often while living in Germany was Croozer.) They're quite common around here, and two of our neighbours have Chariots.

The Chariot is very popular here, likely because it's Canadian-made, and I know several people that have them and like them a lot. Very good friends have the single, with all the accessories (ski, running, cycling, stroller, baby sling). We were thinking on going that route ourselves but were kindly loaned a Burley for cycling and have so far been happy with it.

Hi there :) I have heard of Chariot and have seen a croozer at WDL. Burley is VERY popular around here.

I guess I'll have to go & check them out IRL. See what DD might sit in and what would fit our sitch best.

Thanks for your help!

Ok, the cutest thing ever is the Burley Ladybug from last year. We got the regular Burley, but I may get the lady bug cover accessory just to make me go running with it.

DD was not thrilled as a rider at 12-16 mos, but she was happy with it right after that. DH loves biking with it.

We have a Schwinn bike trailer (Trailblazer), and I LOVE it as a bike trailer. A big thing for us was that it folds flat for storage/transport. It has many different strap adjustments to make the seat and harness just right. Also, this was a pretty economical choice for us...
One thing to note: it has a detachable front wheel (plastic & smaller), which is nice, but the reaction time would not be considered great for regular jogging (which we don't use it for) - for others, this could be a thing to look into.
