i did quite a bit of research online (comparing descriptions, reading reviews, etc.) and thought this would be the best bike trailer for our family. we decided to not go super cheap and couldn't afford a $500 trailer so this seemed like it would work.PROS: the price, it was easy to assemble, it looked good, and would be easy for our daughter to see out of.
CONS: the seat was like a sling that didn't have much support so our daughter was slouched, there was only 2 layers of fabric between our child and the ground, and the cover attaches with a long thick line of velcro, so every time you want to get your child in or out, or get into the back compartment you have to rip open the cover, which was difficult to line up and cumbersome in general.
the cons out-weighed the pros so we returned this trailer, and found a burley d'lite for $100 more at a warehouse store that has a great padded seat, better harness and strap hooks, easy clips for opening and closing the cover, and a movable sun shade panel which gets more use than i would have expected

Product Description:
A children's bike trailer is great when you're on the move, but what happens once you arrive at the grocery store? With a normal trailer you'd just park it outside, but with the Schwinn Mark II, you can convert it to a handy stroller and bring your kids inside. The Mark II sports a lightweight aluminum chassis that provides space for up to two children, along with a zip-down weather shield that protects them from rain, wind, and other inclement weather. More importantly, the trailer is designed for quick, tool-free conversion, with a universal trailer coupler that attaches to any bike and a flip-out front wheel and handlebar for the stroller. It's easy to use, fun, and versatile. Other details include smooth-rolling, 20-inch wheels with a quick-release design for easy storage; a hideaway clear window; a dual harness system; outrigger wheel guards; and a screened canopy for ventilation. The Mark II measures 35 by 31 by 20 inches when folded, offers a maximum weight limit of 100 pounds, and is backed by a five-year warranty.
