Great Buy!!
Bought this on sale at Target for $79.00. Saw other bike trailers at bicycle stores for around $300. Easy to assemble, and easy to use. If you are a recreational rider, don't buy a more expensive one, as this model is all you need. My 2 year old daughter loves the ride, and now doesn't feel left out when I take her older brother bike riding.

Quick N Easy 100%
I love this bike trailer!!. I purchased it on sale for $69.00 and I will tell you that is a great price!!! This bike trailer took me less than 5 minutes to put together. It is not flimsy or cheaply made. It is very durable. Brightly colored and well designed. It folds to compact and the wheels pop off at a click of a latch. You don't have to work at it to get the trailer to compact. A++++ Worth every dollar even at full price.

Excellent Buy!
My dh and I have been researching the different types and brands of infant/toddler bike trailers out there for several months. All along I kept looking at this Instep Quick 'n EZ trailer and thinking it was the best out there. Not only did I find it to constantly receive high marks on quality, but I also found it to be quite inexpensive. Not cheap and shotty, just not nearly as expensive as some of the other makes and models. After all our research, we decided on this trailer, and so my dd received it for her 1st birthday a couple of weeks ago. And let me tell you, we have NOT been disappointed with our choice. The trailer is very well made, extremely easy to put together/take apart, a cinch to attach, and even easier to pull. There is plenty of room in the trailer for us to stash our daughter's bottles, a diaper and wipes (incase she needs a change), and couple of toys for her to play with along the way. The 5pt harness is a breeze to work and leaves no question as to weather baby is in securely or not. This is definately a great trailer to own!! We give it 2 Thumbs Up and 5 stars across the board! :D

Quality and value
Although I didn't find this on sale it is still a good deal for regular price. Set up is an absolute breeze. Even attaching the coupler to my bike, after some muscle from hubby to get the nut off, was simple and quick. I feel very confident of the hitch as I ride and the kids are secure in the harness. It folds easily and the wheels detach simply to fit in the cargo space of our mid-size SUV. I'm a recreational/fitness biker and use this on very nice paved trails not off-road so I can't comment on bumps or dirt.

It gets a 4 rather than a 5 only on some comfort issues. The web straps would be better if padded. I have to watch the crotch strap on my 20 month-old or it can ride up and cut into her leg, particularly if she has a big wet diaper. Same with my 4 year old with the shoulder strap and his neck. I'll figure something out though. Also if it is going to be made to hold up to 100 pounds it really could be just a couple of inches wider to give room to bigger kids. Two kids are sort of smushed. The sling seats also could be made to recline. I had a jogging stoller with that feature. Lastly, since I live in FL, I would prefer a longer hood or some sort of brim for more shade.

Having complained, I WOULD STILL RECOMMEND HIGHLY for quality and value and fun. The kids do enjoy it despite my nit-picking!

Great for the money
My 10 month old son loves this trailer. It is very light and was very easy even for me to put together. The only problem we find is that the rear tire of the bike throws up rocks and dirt through the netting. Gets kinda dirty in there!! Otherwise a great buy though. ... Read more

Kids love this!!
My kids just love this trailer!! I have a 3 year old and a 14 month old and they just love riding in this trailer behind their daddy as he rides his bike. My 3 year old shouts "I want daddy to ride bike!". It is great that it can also be used as a stroller, just unhook it from the bike and off you go. It is better than a bike seat because this does not tip over and the kids ride together and can have their snacks and juice. It hooks up (and unhooks) so easily from the bike. There is a safetly tether at the hinge also, I guess in case the thing accidently detaches you have a backup. I find only 2 problems: no padding in the seat (only a canvas sling seat) and no 'helmet pocket'(meaning that when the kids have their bike helmets on, their heads are slightly tipped forward because bike helmets tend to be bulky at the back of the head. They cannot lean their heads completely back in the seat. They don't seem to mind too much because they are so excited about going fast, faster, fastest!! behind daddy's bike.

Lovin' It
I just bought this and a new bike also. I walk three of of my five children to school every day, for a grand total of four trips a day (drop off, pick up, drop off, pick up). I thought it would be a great idea to ride a bike instead, and I was right. I recently had a baby and it's great exercise. The kids have a blast pretending to drive to school. Their friends all think it's super-cool, and they are the envy of their Kindergarten and Preschool classes.

nice
I just bought this and it is great for both my kids. My son complains we walk too much and the double stroller is too small for his height. My only complain it is we live in apartment on the 3rd floor and the door isnt wide enough for the cruiser to go thru. So i have to take the wheels and the top apart to fit thru the door. But I i love it. it goes over bumps smoothly.

Cushion
It's a great stroller for both the bike and for just walking. It turns much easier than the double jogging stroller I bought. My only complaint is that the seats don't have any cushion to them so we have to use a pillow or blanket under the seat...easy fix. ... Read more

Little Powerhouse
My son recently received a Power Wheels jeep that had been in use for over 3 years before he got it. The batteries had not been charged as specified in the instructions, and they died shortly after he started using it. The jeep couldn't run on concrete, much less on grass.

I replaced both existing batteries with these, which incidentally are a different colour from the picture, and the jeep now runs fine on most surfaces.

It requires 18 hours charging time before you can use the batteries, so be prepared for some impatience before the vehicle can actually be used. You have to charge them after each use, and also once a month if the vehicle is not in use, at 16 hours each time.

Tech support from Fisher Price is non-existent in my part of the world, where 800 numbers are not accessible, because their site doesn't have a customer service or tech support e-mail address listed. I needed important information, because I learned that the model I have was recalled for electrical problems, and I wanted to see exactly which parts needed to be fixed to solve the problem.

I'm sure that these batteries will last a long time with proper care, but wish the tech support was better

When the sun beats down over the long haul, this jaunty, adjustable red polyester umbrellatransforms a little red wagon into a shady Conestoga. And it will serve you well should you be surprised byrain showers on your journey. You could also clamp it on a lawn chair, a cooler handle, a park railing, or abackpack strap. The neoprene-padded jaws of the sturdy plastic, 6.5-inch spring clamp move smoothly on180-degree hinges, so the umbrella gets a flat, slip-proof grip on objects that are from an eighth of an inchto 2 inches thick--even on wet wood or slick metal. Made especially to sit pretty on a classic Radio Flyerwagon, the versatile, heavy-duty clamp also accommodates non-planar surfaces, such as a wide-lippedwall. Unfasten the Velcro closure and slide open a taut 26.5-inch diameter circle of shade made of chunky,top-quality materials. A 4-inch-long, .375-inch-diameter metal-spiraled neck above the clamp allows you toadjust the shade to any angle in any direction. This beauty is made to last as long as a Radio Flyer wagon!The umbrella is 30.75 inches long, and comes with instructions. Ava Natov ... Read more

Didn't hold up....
I bought two of these umbrellas for the ATW wagon. They both broke at the plastic clip area after one time of using them. The clip is made of plastic and wasn't very durable for the wagon. It would make a better stroller umbrella.

Great Concept but Not Durable
The umbrella is a great idea and works well with the radio flyer wagon. The problem is ours broke after limited use. The umbrella did not bend easily in the coil area. We found that when people adjusted the umbrella they always bent it where the button is to put the umbrella up and down. In the end that is where the umbrella snapped in two. So just take your time when trying to bend the umbrella to block the sun!

A Taper's Delight
This little baby is perfect for concert tapers looking for an easy way to attach an umbrella to their stand. Forget about Duct and Gaffer's tape. Just clamp, and you're ready to record in the rain.

+T to all....

Don't buy for a plastic wagon
The clamp on this broke the FIRST time I attempted to put it on my Discovery
wagon. I assume the spring and clamp are not meant to open that wide.
It is a strong clamp & should be suited to a metal or wooden sided wagon.

Useful but very fragile!
I bought three of these umbrellas. 2 for my youngest daughters wagon because you need 2 to cover the whole wagon. Plus one for my oldest daughters wheelchair. They really are wonderful to have if you remember not to just grab and bend them from anywhere. My husband has snapped all three of them in half because he forgets that he has to be gentle. I have recently ordered another one just because it's impossible to find a clip on umbrella for a wheelchair for when it's raining. BUT... I will not be buying more for the wagon. Too much money to spend for something that breaks so quickly to only be used for shading sun! (...) ... Read more

For Power Wheels toys that have two 6V batteries
Having to charge batteries for a toy for 14-18 hours isn't much fun, especially when the batteries run down so quickly. The Power Wheels vehicles however, are a lot of fun, so that makes up somewhat in the "fun" category.

Getting the correct charger was very educational for me, after buying the recommended 6 volt battery charger, and then discovering that it only charges one battery at a time. (Amazon processed the return promptly and efficiently)

For Power Wheels vehicles that use two 6 volt batteries, this is the correct charger, because it charges both batteries at the same time.

I'm not too sure about the durability, because the original charger malfunctioned after 3 years, and I don't know the average life cycle of a charger to compare.

In summary, the car is working, the child is happy - case closed.

Wrong Charger
I thought that I was ordering the proper charger for the 12 volt Peg Perego 12 Volt battery because it was listed as an item bought by people who have bought that battery.It's being returned. ... Read more

This replacement charger for the 6-volt batteries that runPower Wheels toys (the Barbie Splash Jeep, for one) is a standard2.25-by-2-by-1.5-inch black box that fits directly into a wall socket andhas a 6-foot cord. Recommendations for use of the charger: use for an18-hour charge before the first use, after each vehicle use, for 18hours before storing the vehicle, and after 30 days even if the vehicleis not used. Never use the charger for longer than 30 hours.--Richard Farr ... Read more

Beware - you may need a 12V System Battery Charger
The review by Amanda Richards prevented me from purchasing the wrong charger. I was about to place my order when I read it. I did need the 12V System Battery Charger which charges two 6V Rechargeable Batteries at the same time, not the Super 6V Battery Charger which only charges one battery at a time.

It is unfortunate that the site does not show all options for Battery Chargers for this product. This would allow the consumer to do their homework prior to placing their order and a happy consumer is typically a returning consumer.

Move cautiously before ordering. Thank you Amanda for your insight.

Wrong Connector
We mispalced the charger for my son's Lil Quad and bought this Fisher Price replacement charger. The package says it is for their 6-volt batteries. We brought it home and it had the wrong connecting end on it. It came with a adapter but it was still the wrong end. Luckily we found the old connector and returned the new one.

Beware of Incomplete Description
It's hard to rate an accessory like a battery charger under the categories "fun", "educational value" and "durability". After all, how much fun can a battery charger possibly be?
My first charger went bust after a few years (with infrequent use), so durability is not at the highest level.

Caution - The description on this item is incomplete, and not as informative as it should be.

The Power Wheels Jeep requires two 6V batteries, and comes with a charger that charges both batteries at the same time. The Super 6-Volt battery charger is described as a "replacement charger for the 6-volt batteries that run Power Wheels toys", and is listed by Amazon as an accessory to the 6V Power Wheels battery.

Please be warned that this charger only charges ONE battery, a significant little fact that is not mentioned until you get the item, where the box clearly states " For 6-Volt or Super 6-Volt system with one battery." For non-technical people like myself, the inclusion of that wording in the description would have saved me a lot of time and energy, and I would have bought the correct charger in the first place.

The correct battery charger for Power Wheels vehicles with two 6V batteries is the 12V System charger, which can also be found at Amazon for the same price.
(Note: you need the 12V SYSTEM charger and not the 12V charger, which is for the 12V batteries.)

Don't be misled like I was, and get it right the first time. ... Read more

This lightweight but sturdy set of two ramps, with a connecting flat piece, can be easily set up to form your own mini-skate park. It’s not just skateboarding though, the ramps also let you catch air if you’re on rollerblades, a BMX bike, or a scooter. The manufacturer, Compass Outdoors, makes other ramp and rail components that can be combined with this one to expand and arrange your ramps into many possible configurations. Assembly is required, but the instructions are easy to follow and all the necessary parts are included. --David Stoesz ... Read more

When you want to go faster than having...
your child ride their own.

This works great for those times when you want to take a bike ride with your child and don't have to worry about "I'm Tired, etc", or want to go faster than a child could do on their own. I'm all for helping my child learn to ride her bike and she has two bikes of her own. But sometimes you just want to have a worry free ride. This works great. She still get to pedal and has her own handlebars. The saying "two is better than one", applies here.
A great product. Easy to assemble.

Adult's seat twists when turning
As another reviewer described, the design of this product has a problem. On making turns, this bike often twists the adult's seat post, leaving the seat crooked. It's really a pain to stop riding and twist the seat back. I don't know how to fix this unit, or if it's possible to fix. We hardly ever use it because of this problem.

Great Purchase!
We recently bought this trailer for our daughter. We felt it was a good idea because we don't have sidewalks or bike trails to ride on and there are some pretty crazy drivers in our neighborhood. Our daughter can go out riding with us and we have the peace of mind that she won't swerve out in front of a car. She is also learning the feel of riding a two wheeler and gaining confidence. Prior to riding on the trailer, she was very attached to training wheels.

Balancing difficult
I bought this product and ended up returning it because it made balancing the bicycle almost impossible for more than a few yards. I tried it with, and without a passenger, and both ways it almost tipped the bicycle over once I got started. Neither of my children is the least bit interested in riding bicycles since I put them on this (4 years ago), and I think the way it almost dumped them over scared them away from bike riding. It was especially prone to tipping on corners, even though I took them wide so it wouldn't. I was very disappointed in this product.

nice product, but not sure about one thing
My trailer bike came nicely packed and I had no problems assemblying it. However, when turning, my bike's seat post also turned no matter how hard I tightened it. I did loosen up one bolt on the trailer so that the trailer could pivot left and right. However, I'm not sure if this was right. It seems like the bolt was overtorqued at the factory.

So, is the trailer supposed to follow in a straight line, or is it supposed to pivot left and right like most trailers? The manaul did not address this issue.

Thanks! ... Read more

Designed for the youngest mountain biker in the family or the kid who is a complete daredevil on bicycle, skateboard, or scooter, this Mongoose helmet offers the ultimate protection around the face and head. Resembling the shape of a motorcycle helmet, this bike helmet has an interior liner made of expanded polystyrene foam and an external plastic shell. Foam pads within the helmet provide extra cushioning and sliding buckles help adjust the helmet to the most snug fit possible. A high-performance visor screens out the glare when riding on sunny days, and an integrated chin guard helps protect the face in the event of a forward fall. Six vents on top of the helmet and five in the mouth and face area provide superior ventilation. This bicycle helmet complies with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's standards for riders ages 5 and older. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

cool riding
this helmet is great when i fell off my electric scooter instead of falling and scraping up my face it protected and i would recomend it to children of all ages and if you have a toddler into everything this this is the helmet for him and it looks very cool

Mongoose Helmet
It works great with my mini motercycel and is very strong. I still have the same helment after all of my falls.

Awesome Protection ... Great Value ... \(^u^)/
My step-son has the Mongoose BMX Full Face Helmet and it has an awesome stylish design of a angry Mongoose and the helmet does what is it suppose to do protect your head. It's universal use is awesome. My step-son has used this when I bought him his first dirt bike and currently using it while riding his pocket bike. And the first review is right ... you look cool wearing this than the regular bicycle helmet. He looks like a motorcycle rider who accidentally shrunk his motorcycle in the wash. LOL It's cute and gives him the full protection than the just half a regular helmet would give you. I recommend it for parents who are looking for secure protection from falls and accidents.

good helmet
good looking. if you are wearing this you dont look like a dork which you probably would look like with a regular helmet.

Great helmet
This helmet is great - very lightweight, yet more protection than my child's old helmet. A great piece of protective gear at a good price. An added benefit is the cool look. ... Read more

Soup up the wagon and upgrade the ride to first class with this top-quality padding from the makers of America's original little red wagon. One-inch-thick pads smooth the wrinkles of the road and cushion and protect passengers from jolts and bumps. All cushions are covered in bright red, matte-finish vinyl, with edge binding sewn in heavy-duty thread. The bed pad measures 14 by 1 by 32.5 inches. The two end pads measure 15 by 1 by 5.625 inches, and the two side pads are 33 by 1 by 5.625 inches. The smaller pads fasten around the slats with Velcro webbing fasteners. The pads fit Radio Flyer wagons with stake sides (models #22, 24, 28, and 32). Ava Natov ... Read more

Radio Flyer Pads - Fit Great on Model 32
Folks, you can disregard the comments made by a previous reviewer who stated that these pads do not fit radio flyer wagons with two slats. They fit just fine on our Model 32 ATW wagon. The picture on the package does not match the contents exactly. There are large velcro pieces (3 on each side) and they wrap around the top slat. My son loves his wagon now and won't get out of it.

Should not be listed in accessories for ATW Cargo Wagon
This does not fit the ATW Cargo Wagon and should not be listed as an accessory for it. The pads are to small and leave big gaps.

Great for toddlers!
These make my son so much more comfortable when riding in the wagon. He will actually stay in for longer rides now that we have them. Just make sure to order the correct size for your wagon! So glad we purchased these.

Not For Wagons With Only Two Slats!!!!
I recently purchased this pad set for my #22 Radio Flyer Wagon, but had to send them back. If you check the Radio Flyer web site, you'll notice that the #22 Wagon sides only have two wide slats. When I received this pad set, I noticed the picture on the package shows a wagon with three narrow slats. The loops to attach this set of pads are intended to be affixed to the center slats. Since my wagon only has two slats, and they are wider, the loops were in the wrong spot and weren't big enough to fit around the slats on my wagon. I'm only guessing, but I think these might be for an older model of wagon.

You will love the pads for your wagon and they will fit if you buy the right size pad for your wagon model. There are two different sets, again make sure you buy the set that goes with your wagon model. ... Read more
