While the Trail Gator is certainly a fun and useful bike accessory for families, it’s not perfect. It’s important to understand some potential issues you may encounter before you decide to buy it. The “Wobble Factor”The Trail-Gator Bicycle Tow Barconverts an ordinary child's bike into a safe, towable trailer bike, whenever desired. To ride attached, simply unclip the tow bar from the stored position on the adult bike, extend it, and connect it to the receiver, which is mounted on the child's bike. When the child's bike is connected, the front wheel is lifted off the ground and a stabilizing bar prevents the handlebars from turning, leaving the adult in control of steering. Children can choose to coast or pedal while they are being towed, making the ride much easier for them. This popular and hard to find Trail Gator part includes the fork clamp (part W) and the bolt with a ball end (parts X/Y/Z)......read more

These technical mountain gaiters from Rab are focused on keeping weight down while prioritizing fit and performance. As such, top-of-the-range Gore-Tex Pro fabric brings optimum waterproofing and breathability. Lightweight 40-denier nylon uppers are combined with more rugged 300-denier nylon panels positioned on the inside and outside of the foot. Ergonomic design and clever patterning ensure a close and precise fit, so these gaiters fit neatly with stiff mountaineering boots and crampons. That hill is just a bit too daunting for your child! Attach the Trail Gator and give them a boost of confidence (and your strength!) Family rides or commuting through city streets where it would be beneficial to keep your little out of traffic The tow bar has a vertical and a horizontal pivot located at the adult bike seat post area, which allow for side to side and up and down movement only, and keeps the child bike in an up right position when being towed. The tow bar attachment to the child bike receiver is a rigid mount therefore restricting movement at that end. Attachment and detachment can be done at any time and only takes seconds. No tools are necessary and no parts need to be removed from either bike. The tow bar weights just 5 pounds and the high-strength steel construction make it virtually indestructible. The Trail-Gator Bicycle Tow Bar gives adults and children the option of riding together or separately for a fun, safe, and enjoyable bike ride. Whichever option you choose, the Trail-Gator makes it possible for you to enjoy the benefits of bicycling with your child.Training wheels are the norm and your child can’t ride long distances that way. Tow them without training wheels instead! Tow bar receiver fits child bikes with head tubes up to 45mm (1.77") wide in diameter and expans for bolting distance of 105mm (4.1") for top and bottom U-bolt spacing. Not sure what to do now. Its 2 years old and have misplaced the receipt. Don't want to use it anymore in any event. Our reviewers test gaiters on trails in a wide range of environments and conditions ranging from scratchy scrub to ice and snow. Features (including protection, weight, materials, breathability, comfort and ease of use) are tested against claims made by the brand, and we assess factors such as value for money, durability, compatibility with boots and functionality.

Completely encasing the foot, ankle and lower leg up to the knee, these gaiters are ideally adapted for crossing streams, bogs and all other sorts of wet, muddy ground. They’re made from ultra-rugged 1,000-denier nylon bonded to a Gore-Tex membrane. This is stitched onto an all-round rubber rand, which is designed to stretch over the sole of a hiking boot. The front closure is a real belt-and-braces affair, consisting of a full-length zip with a Velcro storm flap overlay. Both of use were quite shaken and were a fair few miles away from home - fortunately my wife came to the rescue in the car.We used tandems with our children and the family now also has an enclosed trailer, child seats, a Follow-Me and that two-child trailer trike. Always happy to share experiences. No, the Trail-Gator only have up and down and side to side move, which requires the trailed bike to lean with the adult bike when towed. We’ve used a lot of tag along bikes and bike towing options. Like most things in life, their quality and ease-of-use are directly related to their price point. The Trail Gator is a bit wobbly, similar to the “wobble factor” we also found with the popular WeeRide Co-Pilot. But it’s also the most affordable towing option on the market.
