WeeRide Co-Pilot Bike Trailer

We were very disappointed with this bike trailer. My husband (who has an engineering degree and is very mechanical) spent about 2 hours trying to get the hitch bolts to fit together properly. He filed and used a lot of WD40. After finally getting the thing together, it worked okay, but I didn't think it was safe for our 6 year old. Very poor quality control and construction. Not worth the money! We ended up returning it to Amazon.com. We plan to buy a different brand.

The product is reasonable quality. However I had to dissasemble several of the pre-assembled pieces to file/grind pieces of flashing to make the joints between the two bikes articulate as designed. Same for the telescoping "quick connect". I wish this was a little better designed and built.

I was going to buy a more expensive brand of bike trailer which I had previously tried, but decided instead on the WeeRide Co-Pilot because of the price. I am glad I did. I'm very pleased with the WeeRide Co-Pilot. It was simple to assemble and attach to my bicycle. My 5-year-old rides on the back very comfortably. It is well made, stable, solid and tracks behind my bike effortlessly. It is an excellent product.

After reading the previous reviews, we decided to order two of these for our 4 and 5 year olds. They arrived promptly and were easy to assemble. Problem is... I followed the instructions precisely but when I attached them to our adult bikes, they were both slewed to one side. No matter what I did, I couldn't get them to sit straight up and down. I changed them around from my bike to my wife's but neither one worked.

What we wound up doing is sending them back and went to our local Bike Shop and bought 2 Trek trailers. They made sure the trailers fit and worked perfectly with our bikes.

The only saving grace was Amazon... There was absolutely no hassle with returning the merchandise, no questions asked. I have been a steady customer of Amazon for a number of years and this was the first time I had to return something. I wasn't sure what would happen, but I was pleasantly suprised by the efficiency and quickness of the return process. My account was credited in no time. This type of service will keep me coming back and shopping with them for a long time. Beats driving to the Mall every time!

My 5 year old was just too heavy to pull in the trailer. This is perfect as her pedaling really does help move us. This is especially helpful on an incline. She cannot ride a two-wheeler yet and has no trouble with this as my bike holds her up. Easy to hook up and unhook and not too heavy.
