- The Tires – Some off-road riders have expressed that the trailer’s tires wear too easily, but they work well if you use the child bike trailer stroller mainly for road trips and leisure rides through the park. So it really depends on how rough road riding the bike trailer is used on.
If you intend to do a lot of riding off-road, I should add that the Quick N EZ Double Bike Trailer tires are easy to replace, not expensive and the sizes are available in many online stores.
