You probably dont care but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all the latest series on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my brother during the lockdown =)
Thanks so much for recommending this trailer. I wanted the Burley D’lite since it was lighter and has a more convenient bike to stroller conversion setup but my husband and I decided to give the joyrider a try because of cost, interior space, and based on your videos and Amazon reviews. I have to say so far I am not disappointed! I’m just getting into biking and not in shape at all so it is heavy pulling it behind my bike, with my 20lb 17 month old in it (that’s 60lb total), up the hills in my neighborhood but with each ride it’s getting easier and easier (I suppose I’m getting stronger! Lol). So far as a stroller it glides across the pavement. We’re going to a Renaissance Festival soon and will have our friend’s 1 year old in it with our daughter and I’m excited to see how it does as a stroller at the festival which is in the woods! Thanks so much for suggesting this trailer because it’s not really mentioned in any other “top kids bike trailer/ stroller” lists on the Internet! I added extra info to help out anyone still trying to decide if they want to give this trailer a try or not. Now I’m looking into getting a hybrid bike or an electric assist bike do you have any advice in that area you could share with me!?! Lol
Funny how your negative of it being wide is a downside and here I am looking for a wide trailer lol I have a 4yo who’s pretty tall and a 1yo who will be in it. Do you think they will have enough space? They’re both in the 90th percentile for height (I’m 6’5”) so I want a trailer that they’re going to quickly grow out of.
Just bought this trailer because of your videos. But one thing I noticed is that the steel cage isn’t steel anymore it’s flexible and doesn’t seem safe for roll overs 😢
My husband and I started e-biking last summer and have mostly stopped because we have a 2-month-old at home now. I did see your video on the car seat method and I'll probably try that with this trailer as I've been wanting this trailer for over a year. It's about $550 now and I will need two of them to fit all four of my kids. I came to ask a question and I forgot what it was so I just really hope this trailer is worth it.
Hi, Have you compared the Aosom Elite double stroller/trailer to the Schwinn joyride? I am curious about the inside height and width.Can you tell me the inside space of the Schwinn? thanks
Do you have any videos or suggestions on the best bikes to for this trailer or any trailer in general. Does the bike play a major role when taking in consideration the trailer you want to get. thanks
Okay so, you got me really wanting this bike trailer. It’s everything I’m looking for. Don’t mind the price. Only thing is - I only have one kid. Should I go with the double trailer anyway (I may end up having more kids) or should I just get a good single trailer for now? 🤔
Hey! I would personally still get this double because you might find the extra space useful (I do). Also it's nice to take other kids around occasionally (did that today!). If you really want a single-seat trailer, then there aren't any that convert to a stroller that I would particularly recommend.
@@BikeGrowRich is this still true? I'm really needing a single stroller trailer because of car storage space. I know it defeats the purpose of your channel to use bikes vs car, however we live in a state, Florida, that isn't safe for bikes. We'd have to travel by car to a park or bike path. Our car is a sedan so car seat, bike and trailer would all have to fit...
Hi There, thanks for such an informative video. I want to ask about the 'bar' that folds under and that attaches to the bike. I have this but only use it as a stroller (it was a gift) but we do not have the bike attachment. Any idea where I can get the whole system to be able to use it in my bike? I truly appreciate your time and generous reply. Best regards. 🤝🏻
Hey Nicolas, do you need just the coupler attachment? If so, check this article out: www.biketrailerplanet.com/bike-trailer-couplers/ If you need the arm bar too, then not sure where to get that apart from contacting the manufacturer directly about it
Finally decided to purchase after this review Just assembled to stroller mode, the front wheel doesn’t seem to pivot smoothly so the push is not great. I’m wondering if something is wrong with our front wheel or if this is just the way it pushes? I was hoping it was somewhat comparable to the push of a bob stroller.
Hey Kelly, I've not personally noticed any specific issues with pushing the front wheel. When pushing over rougher terrain, then yes, there is a noticeable difference. However, that would be the case for all trailers that I use. That's where the large back wheels come in handy. You can push over LARGE rocks and curbs with just the back wheels.
Thanks for the review. Regarding the width, I can't find reliable information, how wide is it (including wheels installed) ? I found on many websites 50cm which seems really narrow I guess it's more than that?!
in a review on amazon someone said the original is better than the "walmart version", do you know where i could find that one? i want to compare those two! maybe you could also do a video about that, they're really informative!
Hi there, do you know what the difference is between this red joyrider and the blue version? I can't seem to find any information comparing the two. They're both available in Canada on Amazon and the only difference I see is the price (~$100), the blue one being cheaper.
You mentioned that you’ve had this stroller for a while….have they changed the materials in more recent production? You describe a “cage” that comes down in front to secure the kids. I just looked at a Joyrider and the only metal in that front screen was the very bottom rung and the very top rung. The other three or four rungs in the “cage” are plastic. The overall construction wasn’t very robust. Great reviews. Very informative. Thanks for the help.
Would you recommend the joyrider over the schwinn summit deluxe trailer? (I’m trying to decide between these 2). I called schwinn customer service and they mentioned the summit deluxe would be more comfortable, but is difficult to judge based on the very little information available online.
Hi Benjy! I am torn between this Joyrider and the Burley D'Lite X or Encore X. I don't need the stroller conversion, I'd like bench seats with some leg room and something lightweight as we don't have much storage space or space for transport in our car. What would you reccomend?
Have you used this trailer on any non pavement trails? Such as dirt, pebbles, etc? I know you have mentioned that it doesn't have suspension, so I just wonder how it would handle.
Seems like a great buy. :D I already bought the Hamax outback a couple of days ago. Just as well since this Schwinn seems hard to get in Europe paying almost double to ship it here. 🤔 Really like how the cover easily fold up and down. Will try to remember this model when/if we need to upgrade from a 1-seater to 2. ;)
How is the air ventilation in this trailer? I see that the front has a mesh screen, but I don’t see any other air vents. Do the kids get sweaty and uncomfortable in hot weather?
Ventilation and overheating have never been a particular issue for us. The cage-like cover on the Joyrider is well ventilated all around. Also, since they are not moving and the air from the ride cools them down a bit, I wouldn't worry much about it :)
Hi Nichole, I have used the Joyrider just fine was a jogger (but not at high speeds or over rough terrain). Sidewalks and pedestrian paths are just fine. The Joyrider does not have a jogger conversion kit available. Good question!
Do you have any issue with the wheels sliding in or out as on mine the wheels do not lock in place. There only seems to be a lever that goes down to hold the wheel in place on each side but it does not hold the wheel tightly so the wheels slip out .
My husband and I were at the flea market and found one almost brand new and bought it for $10! But we need to find the elbow we can connect it to our bikes. If you could help me find one please!
Hey Matthew, I might actually not recommend a bike trailer for high-speed running (skating) unless you have a jogger-convertable trailer. Some great joggers would be the Thule Chariot Cross and Hamax Outback. You could surely try it with the Joyrider and return if you don't like it :) No harm in that.
Love that you include the drawbacks as well because it’s just good info to know. And it makes your videos more trustworthy. Thanks for doing what you do.
Hi Angela, the buckles are on the sides, so there's no way to put the harness in the middle. When I ride with one child, they just sit to the side and I have luggage in the other seat. It's a very solid bench-style seat, so it's not uncomfortable to sit on one side.
@@BikeGrowRich Thanks so much! I decided to get it based on how much you raved about it in your reviews lol. It’s on sale at the Tractor Supply Co for $343.99!
How old are you kids??? You think it will work with my 4 year old and 6 month old side by side. I would obviously wait for my younger one to at least be 1 years old. Right now I’m using a single weehoo trailer for the back for my oldest and a hamax observer for the front.
I already have a Chariot Cougar 2 But I don't like how folds down. Because we need to be very carefully with the net and rain cover. Also when storage the wheels. I will travel. So I need it as a double stroller. .... I'm thinking to switch for a joyrider. I don't use the jogging kit, just as stroller and bike trailer (city) What do you recommend?
Yes, they do! The Joyrider is alive and well. Just follow the link in the description. The Amazon product page says it's a single seater, but that's just incorrect. It's a double seater.
Hi I have a 2 year old and a 10 month old We would like to use this as a stroller as well, does it recline? I would need the girls to sleep in it if comfortable
This one does not recline, but my kids don't have an issue sleeping really. The best reclinable trailer I have used is the Thule Chariot Cross. But honestly, the recline is not that much to the point that they are lying down.
Hey Noob (nice name)~ Not on this trailer! If you're doing mountain riding, then either the Thule Chariot Cross or Hamax Outback. Both excellent trailers and strollers. I personally like the Outback a LOT, but the only downside is that it's about 10 pounds heavier than the Cross. But that doesn't bother me personally.
