Hi moms =)
This is a 3 part ?....
I'm soo tired of reading reviews & don't want to spend $300...I cant find reviews on this one for $99, 2009 InSTEP QE126 Bicycle Baby Bike/Biking Trailer..the old version for $69 got horrible reviews just on the material, but I am thinking they upgraded it a bit.
~Does anyone know anything about this trailer?
~Does anyone have another one they recommend that isnt too pricey?
~OR =) Does anyone have one they dont use anymore in good condition & would be willing to sell me for a good price?? My husband loves to bike ride & our sweet girl loves to be outside. I appreciate all your help!
I'd like a 2 seater & dont care about the stroller option, either way is fine though..

I have one I got at Costco about a year ago for $169 (but I used our Costco rebate check we get every year and it was free). It is made by Kangaroo (I think) and it is a double jogging stroller/bike trailer. We use ALL THE TIME, and it has held up really well, expect for maybe filling the tires every once in a while. Love it!
I bought my bike trailer/jogging stroller used on www.craigslist.org for $40 (they were asking $50) and it's works perfectly fine. I only use is as a bike trailer, so I can't really tell you how it functions as a stroller. It's red, yellow, and blue and says "Master Cycle" on the front. It has tires like a bike, which my husband thought was important and better for performance than the ones with little tires. My kids LOVE going for bike rides in it.
S.,
How fun that you are going to share your love of biking with your daughter! This is my advice, go try them in the store. Place your daughter in them and see how she fits in the restraining system. We LOVE our bike trailer but have problems with the restraining system and had to add pillows in the back and under them so that they wouldn't slump down into the straps. Take it for a spin around a couple of the Ailes and see how she if fitting. I wish that I would have done this before I bought mine.
Another piece of advice, if you buy used check with the bike strollers manufacutre to see if there have been any recalls on it. I do this all the time with my used purchases off ebay and craigs list. They are happy to tell you if it has had a recall & if it is fixable if it has had one. Buying used it a great way to save money! Good luck with your search and enjoy your rides!!!
