Allen Sports Premium Aluminum 2 Child Bicycle Trailer and Stroller Review

Watching over your children is a big job. So why not take this opportunity to introduce your children to exercise? And what better way to let them see the world than with an Allen Sports Premium Aluminum 2 Child Bicycle Trailer and Stroller?

This premium sports rugged design of Allen Bike Trailer accommodates two children, and comes with safety features that lets you run and bike without worry.

Key Features of  Allen Sports 2 Child Bicycle Trailer

These are some of the features that really got my vote for this Allen Sports bike trailer:

• Accommodates up to 2 children – now you don’t have to get two strollers for your kids, as the Allen Sports Premium Aluminum 2 Child Bicycle Trailer and Stroller accommodates 2 children at once.
• Lightweight Design – Tired of those bulky double strollers for your kids that are just way too heavy to load into your car? Allen Sports Premium comes with a lightweight aluminum design so you can use it easily without trouble.
• 20 inch rear tires – the tires are air filled, and adds comfort to the ride as it easily lets you go up and over small obstacles like rocks and small potholes on the path. It keeps the bumps away from your child or children in the seat.
• Large Windows – Your child can enjoy the view while on a ride as the stroller features large side and front clear windows. Your child can sit there, drink his juice and enjoy nature all from the safety of his trailer.
• Convertible – A great thing about the Allen Sports Premium is that it converts from a bike trailer to a stroller all at a press of a button and a little tug. Now you can take your kids with you to the store without having to bring along an extra stroller. All you need is the trailer.
• Universal Coupler – easily attach the Allen Premium Trailer and Stroller to your bike with the included universal coupler that is compatible with most bike models. So whether you have a mountain bike or a folding bike, you can be sure that your kids can come along for the ride.

What are the Safety Features ?

• Adjustable Handles – a big factor for parents’ comfort is the adjustable handle. Easily adjust the handle’s angle so that you can grip it according to your height with comfort.
• Foot rest – The cabin comes with a designated foot rest so your child stays comfortable and their feet protected and safe inside the cabin during rides.
• Velcro Weather Screen – the weather screen on the front of the cabin rolls up into a Velcro strap on top when not in use, and can be rolled down to protect against the weather during sudden rain showers.
• Harness – your children stays safely in their seats with the included harness for each child.
• Safety Flag – Night bike rides with your kids can be fun, but of course safety always takes top priority. Luckily, the Allen Sports Premium comes with a safety flag that can be attached to the back of the cabin and has a bright orange color that ensures that you are visible even during the night.

Available Styles of Allen Sports Premium Bike Trailer

This particular unit is only available in one design as of this moment: red. It has a nice design with gray and black stripes on either side of the front window. It is perfect for use within your family, or even as a present for baby showers.

What are the Size and Capacity?

The trailer/stroller combo is fairly large, but is not recommended for children over 50 pounds. As it has a maximum 100 pound limit, 50 pounds for each passenger. If your child is over 50 pounds, it is safe to be used as long as he is riding alone.

Other specifications of the product include:

Product Dimensions: 32.7x 27.5x 8.3 inches
Weight: 27 pounds
Shipping weight: 29.9 pounds
Maximum Capacity: 100 pounds (50 for each child)

IMPORTANT: Always remember to follow the maximum capacity for each stroller unit, as to avoid any type of injury.

How much should you pay?

Child-related items like strollers and other accessories almost never come cheap. But the Allen Sports Premium Aluminum 2 Child Bicycle Trailer and Stroller is available online at popular stores for about $199. It is a fair price for a 2 in 1 transport system for your children and it should be able to last you for the rest of your child’s toddler years.  Some other brands cost about $500 and more.

Cons

The Allen Sports Aluminum 2 Child Bicycle Trailer and Stroller has a lot of great features that make it standout from other brands. However, some parents wish that it came with a safety brake that can be used when making sudden stops or when you want to park the baby.

Being able to engage a brake when parking your child’s stroller provides a peace of mind for parents who are just looking to take a break after a long ride. It is a good feature to have, but for me it is not a deal breaker for this affordably priced Allen Sports quality bike trailer cum jogging stroller.

Conclusion

Overall, the Allen Sports Trailer has good features at a fair price. But the downside is that it can break easily if you use it on a daily basis. With that said, this trailer is best used by parents who only want to use it occasionally instead of regularly.

If you’re looking to use one for off road bike trails that are reasonable for children, you might be better off looking at another brand because this unit is best used for on road strolls and rides.
