It’s no wonder that the Schwinn bike trailer is off the top of the list when it comes to pull behind child by carriers. After all, Schwinn has been a name in family bikes for a very long time. And among the various bike trailers to choose from the Schwinn Joyrider bicycle trailer is among the best of the best. Not only does it have the Schwinn name and reputation behind it, but they have gone above and beyond in making this one of the most versatile pieces of bicycling equipment you could ask for as a bicycling enthusiast with kids.

I have to admit that I was initially looking at a Burley bike trailer, and it looked very good. In fact, no one I spoke to really had anything negative to say about it whatsoever. Nonetheless, we decided on the Schwinn Joyrider and we have absolutely no regrets. Its 20 inch lightweight alloy wheels allow it to be pushed and pulled easily while also creating a smooth ride for my kids and minimizing the weight I need to pull. Though I can’t give all the credit to the smooth ride to those wheels; this high-end child’s bike trailer actually is built with shocks for added comfort. How about that!

As for the cockpit itself, it’s plenty roomy for the kids and has a very secure harness that allows me to relax knowing they are fully secure in their seat. Probably the most impressive feature of this baby bike trailer is the fact that it very easily converts into a jogging stroller. So now we have not only the child trailer but also a high-performance, smooth riding stroller and baby jogger to. Nice.

There are plenty of pockets for snacks and drinks as well as a parent tray on top. The handle is adjustable so that it works well for both my wife and I for walks and runs. On top of all this, this entire contraption folds down easily and compactly the quick release wheels so that it easily fits in the back of your car trunk.

Since buying my Schwinn bike trailer I’ve subtly noticed a lot of other like-minded parents who decided to make the same purchase decision we did. It’s funny, it’s kind of like when you get a new car and think it’s something really special and all the sudden you notice every other car on the road seems to be just like yours. Oh well, it just means there are more kids out there hitting out riding with their parents and doing it in comfort and safety.

I’ve also spoken to a number of people who had made different purchase decisions prior to this one. I kept hearing the same thing over and over; “I had a (Bell, Instep, Croozer, and several other brands I don’t remember) brand bike trailer stroller before this, and this Schwinn right trailer absolutely blows that one away.” I’ve been very happy to hear this because it is on the higher end of the price range for these kind of bike trailers, but it sounds like paying less money would have been no bargain in the long run.

The bottom line is, I’m sure those other baby bike trailers are perfectly fine and perfectly safe. It’s just once you find the one that fits your lifestyle like a glove the way this Schwinn Joyrider bicycle trailer does for us, you can’t help but feel good about your purchase.
