Instep Bike Trailer: Burley TAIL WAGON Pet Bicycle Trailer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Maybe 3.5 stars.We have used our new Tailwagon on mountain bike and paved bike trails daily for a week now.Our 6 month old pup jumped out at first (he was able to squeeze through the cover) so we bought one of those dual dog leads, a dog halter, and a D-ring.There are some loops to attach the dog lead inside the trailer.We attached the D-ring between the ring where you would normally attach a leash and the chest part of the pups halter.We adjusted the lead so he was able to move around the trailer a bit, turn around, sit, and lay down.He whined at first so we removed the outer cover which comes completely off, which helped a lot. The kick stand came off during the ride because the bottom clearance isn't adequately high enough for trail riding.The wheels are also not adequately large enough (for trail riding) either...my husband had to get off his bike and lift the trailer a few times.There are some trailers out there with a higher clearance which one might consider if you are biking on trails.The platform the dog sits (or stands) on has no cushion whatsoever.We haven't used the stroller part yet and might not ever but I got the Tailwagon just in case we would, plus I liked that it had a rain shield.After realizing that he hates it with the cover on, the rain shields don't matter anymore-for now anyway (however, the fact that you CAN completely remove it is a bonus).After a week of using it, for our purposes, I think I would buy the Rover or perhaps another brand instead.Overall though, it did the job and our pup was able to go with us rather than stay alone in a unfamiliar place while we were on vacation.I think it is also important to note that we have been satisfied Burley customers for many years.We used the heck out of a kid trailer (through 3 kids)...all said and done, there was no wear and tear and we were able to resell it for just a little less than what we originally paid.
