Description
Wouldn’t it be great to do long bicycle tours with your family and enjoy your time together with no child being exhausted with riding? The Trail-Gator makes this real. The Trail-Gator is the proven concept to make longer family bicycle tours possible and has been the market leader for 30 years. In the twinkling of an eye the Trail-Gator tandem bar turns a usual kids bike into a towed bike. The children bike can simply be connected to the adults bike if necessary and the child can cycle on without strain. If the Trail-Gator is not required it can be stowed away without taking much space at the adults bike. Connecting and disconnecting only takes seconds without tools and it fits to most standard children and adults bikes.

Used it 4 times now, around 16 miles of riding and it works great! It was mildly difficult to assemble but once assembled easy to hook up and has worked as expected. There is a slight give in the piece that attaches to the adult bike that causes the kids bike to sway back and forth. Nothing major. My 3 year old daughter just got started on trailing wheels and was comfortable with the tow bar after 2 slow rides.

I am quite a handy person. Even built a loft from scratch with my 6 year old for him. With all the raving reviews I had to have this product now that he can ride by himself but not for 12 miles. First the directions aren't very good, second they forgot to give me a bag that had a bracket that with my mount I didn't need but could have. It took me over 2 hours of trial and error to get this right. First problem was his bike is a 20" and on my wifes bike her seat isn't high enough to elevate his front tire. That was after monkeying with his mounting bracket and spacers for 30 minutes. Then mount it onto my bike. Then back to an additional 20 minutes of getting his spacers right again and the 4 bolts. The support arm to prevent his handlebars from moving pops onto a little ball and works when it stays connected. We did a test run around the block and the little guy thought this was great. Following day we meet up with 20 people after an hour drive for a nice Memorial Day 12 mile ride. The kid starts out riding himself and after .5 miles is upset there are so many people on the trail and wants to be attached. Ah HA this is perfect and I am a great Dad for having this all taken care of. We get rolling and he doesn't like how wobbly it is (We have a Wee-Ride tandem he has used for years and loves). I calm him down and not .75 mile later the handle bar stabilizer pops off and he freaks out. We stop. Spend 20 minutes talking him back into having confidence in this product because the reviews were so good. I make an adjustment while the other 17 people on the ride continue on. He gets back on and within 1 minute pops off again and he is done. We end up having to walk back that 1.5 miles to the car and drive to meet the rest of the group for lunch. On the way back he swapped with his little brother and rode the Wee-Ride back and had a great time. We bought a second for another friend who was doing this ride with us. After 2 hours of them trying they gave up and didn't even bring it with. Big dissapointment since the up side is great but the execution was lacking. Nice sturdy steel but when you have too many moving parts you are bound to have movement. This will definitely be going back. I'm just glad he didn't get injured.

Very nice accessory. It is fairly easy to install but not very straight forward and dependent ont he bike type. I have a problem in the stability and the alignment of the master bike compared to the child's bike (It seems a little out of a straight line) which is sometimes very risky to drive since it can cause the children's bike to flip. I do not know if it is a defect of the product or just some bad installation on my side.

This thing is awesome! We have been using the trail gator for a week or so now and we love it. Our 4 year old does great sitting on her bike and pedaling (when she wants haha). The directions are a teeny confusing but if you read one step at a time and refer to the pictures it’s not so bad. It took me a couple of hours over a two day weekend to get everything installed just right. It’s also very important to tighten everything like the directions say. Otherwise there will be swing and movement that other reviewers mentioned. We did a test ride and some things moved so I readjusted and tightened everything extra and on the second test ride everything stayed put. So tighten, tighten and tighten some more! I have the tow bar installed on my scwhinn and I did have to make sure my seat was back where I wanted it because I won’t be moving this until we are done with it! I definitely won’t be moving it from my bike to hubby’s bike. It took too long to get it all set up correctly to move it. Especially with how tight everything needs to be. I did have to move my rear reflectors but I got it to work just fine. I did use some rubber covering on my kid’s bike so that the hardware won’t scratch the paint on her bike, I think it also helps with any slippage and keeps everything firmly in place. I saw some other reviewers do the same thing. We do take the training wheels off to use the tow bar and just put them back on when she wants to ride solo. But the directions do say not to use the training wheels while using the tow bar. It’s helping my daughter learn to balance quicker on her own and get the feel of a two wheeled bike. We have had no issues with the bar twisting or turning. My kiddo stays straight in line behind me right where she should be. It’s pretty easy to hook on and unhook for when your child wants to ride solo or be towed. Takes just a few minutes with the bolts. I do notice a difference when she is pedaling vs when she is not haha but her bike wheel spins freely if she decides not to pedal so it works great. The tow bar itself stows nicely to the side when the kid bike is unhooked. My only issue is the clamp doesn’t fit because the stabilizer bar for the kids front wheel gets in the way. Otherwise I would highly recommend this if you want to be able to tow your child and their bike for longer rides. We have not had any of the issues that some of the lower reviews posted about, I read a lot of reviews on this before purchasing and as long as you follow the directions and tighten everything appropriately then the issues those reviews mention shouldn’t be issues.

This is great device, and as far as I can tell, the only one of its kind on the market. It works exactly as the picture shows. We hooked it up to my wife's bike (god bless her...) and she can pull my three year old daughter no problem at all. Enjoys the workout, she says. Note that we need to tighten the nuts every once in a while. Also, by design there is a little swing to the bar; makes turning easier. However, I wouldn't recommend it for on-road, with traffic riding (not that I would recommend that with a kid anyway) due to the potential for swing. The swing is not a problem at all on sidewalks, the neighborhood, bike trails, etc. READ ME That said, this is not repeat NOT a plug and play kit. The instructions are horrendous. They are pictures only, they are out of order, and they are not well labeled. The pieces are confusing, in that they look like nothing else you've seen before (unless you're an engineer of some kind). You WILL bang your head against the wall trying to put this thing together. All said and done, this took a at least 5 hours to make it work right. If that scares you in the slightest, skip this thing and figure something else out. So why the five stars? Because we can go for an hour to two hour bike ride with a 3 year old who sings "I looooove mommmmmmy" all while pedaling along. That is priceless, regardless of my blood, sweat and tears.

It was really cool at first. I'd read other reviews and made sure to get everything well secured and tight, we had a great 30 minute test ride around the block right after getting it together, then double checked tightness on everything. The next day I pulled my 48lb son a little over 11 miles along the river. The ride out was great and with some confidence in the tow bar now we went fast and rode fairly hard. Eventually, his bike started leaning hard causing a lot of drag and making him uncomfortable, at first I couldn't figure why he couldn't get up straight, but when we got back home I found where the bar locks with the pin to shorten or extend, it had bent out into a torn oval and stuck, the bar is thin and weak and couldn't handle the hard turns or him leaning wrong. I also snapped one of the u bolts on the frame holder and replaced with a grade 8 from NAPA on initial install. I wasn't even rough with tightening, the hardware is light and cheap but functional, the best built part of it is the quick release o tow bike. Over all it could be alright if you're doing super lame and slow riding with a lighter passenger, but this thing isn't built for fun and I said screw it and threw it away. Had fun and made good memories for a day I guess. Will find something better till he can keep up.

**Mine was missing hardware when it arrived. I purchased the quick release pin and a few other parts separately, and Amazon gave me a discount, so I will not let that effect my review otherwise, but its worth noting** Installation takes for ever. I'm a fairly competent weekend warrior mechanic, and this took me a couple hours to get the torque specs right, adjust, readjust, etc.. Directions are terrible (mine were torn). If you use common sense, they eventually become coherent. The idea behind this product is brilliant. Its one of just a few out there that will let your child ride his/her bike and then reconnect them when they get tired. I didn't want a Follow-Me product because they cant ride independently. Love the idea of this, but its a little on the cheap side and flimsy. Lots of folks complained about the part that connects to the child's bike frame coming lose and turning. I stuck anti-slip rubber pieces under and torqued to spec with a torque wrench and I didn't have any issues. However, I do have the leaning issue that many complain about. I've read that if you change the rotation of the seat post connection piece that should minimize or eliminate the lean. I have had little luck after readjusting a few times. I'll give it a go once more, but I think its just a matter of fact with these. Either way, both my 3 year old and 5 year old boys love riding behind me. We just took this on the Peddlers' Jamboree in Iowa (22 miles each way) and they had a blast. The lean is a little annoying and can make steering a little awkward for the parent. I hit the gravel a couple times because my kids were leaning back and forth (intentionally). They didn't complain about it being uncomfortable or annoying, but its there. Its less pronounced with the lighter child. Its quick and easy to switch from towing to independent riding. Just undo a few quick release pins and you can switch in 2 min flat. No problem and I'm impressed at how easy it is, and how well it stays put on my bike when not in use. With that said, we're keeping it. Not the best, but fun and works well enough.

Great step up from a trailer and a lot less to store then the 3rd wheel bike..... with the bonus that allows us to ride to a park and disconnect for separate riding! Some minor complaints: It is a bit complicated to install (needed some quite time away from the little one!) and the clip to keep the kids front wheel from turning is tricky to get just right - if it's not just right it tends to unclip easily. It would be better if it were pin connected like the main bar is to both bikes. Otherwise it's a great product!!
