Once upon a time, I had only one kid. I’d throw her in the single child trailer and off we’d go, on an adventure together with some bonus training weight for me. My wife could then enjoy time off from the sweet little bundle of love (and energy depletion). But then came munchkin two. #1 was a big fan of trailer rides by the time #2 came, and it wasn’t too long before having a single seat on the trailer was leading to tears of disappointment when a decision was made on which kid could come with me. After a couple of months negotiating treaties and scheduling alternating rides, it was pretty clear that my wife was always left to deal with a disappointed child. The trailer magic had evaporated because she wasn’t getting free time during my rides anymore.
And so started my search for a two-child solution that I could still use over varied terrain. A trailer that allowed my kids a real connection to the outdoors. Because I wanted to ride trails, gravel and singletrack I quickly discarded the classic side-by-side two-wheeled trailers – I know of more than one dad who had flipped them in collisions against poles in the road, trailside trees or gutters. I remembered a local company from when I lived in Colorado, based in Golden. After a little searching, I found what looked to be a solution: the WeeHoo IGO TWO. It had a little luggage space, two seats and best of all, it was a single wheel unit that trailed the bike accurately.
So, is three a crowd or a party on the bike? Click here for the full review...
