Cons

Parents who have purchased the Allen Sports Premier 2-Child Racing Bike trailer have observed what they would love to see improved. Most notably is that it takes more effort to switch it between a stroller and a trailer. That’s because the front tire doesn’t come off very easily.

Another observation is that the cabin is narrow to seat 2 kids comfortable, but this is really due to the streamline design of the bike trailer as a rugged racing stroller/trailer.

Conclusion

Aside from some parents observations, the Allen Sports Premier 2-Child Aluminum Bike Trailer/Racing Stroller has a lot of perks. Parents have said that it works best as a trailer, but it has some issues when turning it into a  stroller. So, it is always best to go over the unit and read everything you can before you place your order.
