WeeRide Co-Pilot Bike Trailer Review
After reading reviews for this and other more expensive bike trailers, for what seemed like hours, I came across a review for this bike trailer that said something like "stop reading reviews and buy this bike trailer". I realized I could read positive and negative reviews all day and never get my daughter on a bike.
So, I did in fact stop reading reviews and buy this bike trailer. And I am immensely glad I did. All the other bike trailers were twice as expensive (When I bought this it was around , and I could not see spending 0 on something that my daughter is only going to use for a year or two until she's got enough stamina to power herself on our family bike rides.
Also, I didn't think it was too much to ask that a functional trailer be available for less than 0 considering the fact that you can buy a bicycle (yes a cheap one, but a functional one) for .
It took me about 15 minutes to get this up and running.
The only issue is with the hinge that allows this trailer to fold in half for easy storage and transportation. Something is not working right, and in order for me to fold it I have to use a screw driver or something else to press in the button that allows it to fold (there is a folding hinge type thingy that is supposed to allow this to fold easily and w/out tools, but that is not working properly). All in all this is not a big deal to me personally as I don't fold it to store it, I have it hanging on the ceiling w/a pulley system. Also, if I do need to fold it, I'll just use the screwdriver. I did not want to bother sending back a huge box and waiting for another one. (This is probably the price I pay to have purchased the cheaper one, but hey---for a savings of 0 plus I'll deal.)
I started out towing my little cousin around, and he absolutely loves this thing! My daughter does too, and she is not able to ride a two wheeler on her own...
If anyone needs to know her height I'll be happy let you know..... My cousin was a little too short for it but he managed.

wee-ride co-pilot bike trailer - Ron Perea - albuquerque
the product was what i expected and about 50.00 cheaper than what i found at the store.the only draw back was the flag,.. there is no way to take it off and put it on easily, and because of this,it is kind of bulky. other than that, it is worth the money
Awesome Product - Lee Jones - Mason City, IA usa
This has been really enjoyed by the children. Takes a little extra space to store when you leave it assembled to other bike. Be sure to tighten all mounting bolts very tight and recheck often. We had one of those pull behind trailers and the kids really prefer this. We bought mid-spring and the price went up since. The value of the Amazon one was much better deal than other online retailers. I wish we had a couple more of these but they're not in the budget right now.
Great ride for young children! - Randall Ney - Corvallis, OR
My 5 year old daughter rides very well on this. Even my 3 year old son does great on it. It seems to be very safe and a fun ride for them. The only draw back, which is probably the same with any bike like this, is you can't do a tight 180 degree turn around or the back bike can tip. But with a little care, there is no worries!
