![Reviewing a $900 Bike Trailer [Hamax Outback OWNER'S REVIEW]](/img/tr.png)
*Looked at a lot of options for getting my **Latest.Bike** . Great find in SAVA. Super light, nice components, really good value as it comes with many options only found in much higher priced bikes.*
Sava Russia indeed!
Thank you so much for the in-depth review! I ended up buying a 2017 Chariot Cross 2 used and it is amazing. I love that I can turn it in a small space or on a narrow sidewalk, and that it folds up so compact. Thanks again for helping me make the choice!
We have a Qeridoo Kidgo 2 and I jog regularly with both kids. It's awesome. And we also tow the kids behind our mountain bikes around town and occasional trails. Worth every penny.
Thank you so much for making these videos. I know nothing about riding a bike with my toddlers, but I live on a beach bike trail and use to take me 20 min to bike to the beach. I’m ready to take my 1&3 year olds and this has helped try and figure out what I need. Now to figure out how to connect stuff to my bike or if my old bike is appropriate 😆 🤷🏽♀️
Thank you so much for helping our family choose a bike trailer. Our goal is to cycle often as a family for a healthier lifestyle and more quality time together. I’m very pleased with our Swinn Joyrider! Would you recommend helmets be worn while riding in the trailer or is that parent discretion? Our main riding areas will be paved bike paths and occasionally through our town for errands. Our kids are currently 2.5 and 1.5 y.o.
Such a well-done, thorough video. Excellent rundowns. Thank you!
I really want the Schwinn Joyrider.
Good choice!
great video!
You know your stuff and you presented them perfectly. Thanks a ton.
Question, what do you recommand for a 2 seater that's wider than average?
My 5 year old twins tried the Thule Courier 2-Seat today, and they complaint it being too small.
thanks
Thank you for this great job!
I already have the burley honey bee and i would love a better cushion for my kid bit i wanna also add that this trailer have had some off-road great experiences and its super light and have a great storage space. Thanks again for this amazing video. Best regards from brazil!
Thoughts on the Burley Encore X? Just picked one up. $600, so quite a bit cheaper than the DLite X, but still seems like a good option and still has suspension and a double seat. Thinking about the stroller conversion kit as an add on in case that come in handy.
Love the channel, thank you for all the information and wholesome perspective
Thank you for introducing the information. I'm a Chinese currently stuck in UK with my wife and son. I enjoy the Scotland outdoors so much and looking for a trailer to bike with my toddler. Your video is very informative to me.
Glad to hear that Maxine. I'm sorry you're stuck there, but just glad you're together with your family. Take care.
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Ryker Camden Instablaster :)
Speaking to driving culture in America…our towns just aren’t set up for driving. Its downright dangerous to bike in my city. So many hit and runs. I say this having lived in Europe where many places are walkable/bikable. But your video was very helpful-thank you!
I think the Thule Chariot Cross also have a skiing conversion kit. So winter time you can go skiing with the carrier behind you.
Loved your info thank you so much! I found an instep that is identical to the Schwinn metal front cover have u seen it? If yes what do u think of it? I’m in canada and they don’t sell Schwinn
Thankyou so much, what would you recommend a for back packing, trailer, sometimes the kids, sometimes the kit. All best F
Genuinely appreciate this review!
Hi there!
Thanks so much for this video and all the other ones you share you’re a legend! I’m currently trying to decide which bike trailer is best for my 15 month old and my 3 year old and my main issue is that most trailers don’t recline (I want them to seat and nap as comfortable as possible) and the ones that recline are super pricey! In Australia they’re around the $1700-1800 range and up. Which would you say has the most comfortable seating? Unfortunately here I can’t get the Schwinn Joyrider that you have it’s like another version without the cage box that you love so much ☹️
The Thule Chariot Cross or the Hamax Outback (hey!) are your best options :) They are comfy and recline better than others.
Thank you for the review! So helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi! Just wondering if the trailers mentioned could be used with adult trikes and if your recommendations for a single trailer would change based on using with a trike vs bike?
Great videos, Could you tell me which models, besides Chariot, have suspension?
This is so helpful! Thank you! Have you ever tried the Alamo trailer? Thoughts?
Just glad it's helpful! I actually have not used an Alamo! If you share a link here, I'd like to check it out.
This vedio is super super informative, and what I was looking for. I have a baby aged 7month. It seems to be too young to start with a trailer, but we are giving it a try.
Our bikes are bromptons, and a trailer we are in the market is Thule Chariot Cross(might Lite) with a baby seat which is also by Thule, but due to the smaller wheel size of brompton(16’’), the trailer must be a bit leaning forward. In this context, there are two questions.
1) Do you think it’s too early to start with 7month baby?
2) do you think Thule Chariot Cross is the best option for the infant?
Thank you!
Thank you so much. I was about to by the instep. I can not afford anything over $400. I have 2 young girl one is special needs. This has helped us so much.
Hey there, thanks for the comment. If you're on a $400 budget I would recommend the Burley Bee for sure (no stroller). If you need a stroller, then you can get the Schwinn Joyrider for just $480.
Burley does have a stroller conversion kit. Purchased seperately.
I love the schwinn joyrider bike trailer. I have had mine 2 years and it’s extremely durable. I even pulled my husband and 3 year old daughter in it a few times. Held up like a champ 👍🏽
That is awesome!
Did your husband fit? I'm looking for a trailer to fit my 100 lbs 5' tall special needs daughter.
@@ckgonzales6743 she would fit.
@@anthonylaytart8059 - we purchased the Wike trailer. Thanks
@@ckgonzales6743 how is it
Hi, Thanks for the information and for making this bike trailer review. Which trailer would you recommend that has the best-reclined trailer?
Hey, sorry for the late reply. I'd recommend either the Thule Chariot Cross or the Hamax Outback for reclining. Personally, I like the Outback a LOT, but it's a pretty heavy trailer (50 lbs). If you've got confident legs or want a workout, then the Hamax is the way to go.
Exceptional vid. I have to wonder how you know one trailer is more comfy than another to the kids? I haul my grand sons around in an old wagon with a rope. They like it.
A Ford and a Mercedes-Benz will both get you to your destination.
Hi, what do you think about Burley D'Lite X?
Hello many thanks for your indepth comparisons
Which one of these would be a good trailer for kids ages 6 up?
Hey Abdul, good to hear from you. My son is almost 7 and my recommended trailer of choice is still the Schwinn Joyrider. That is, if you're looking for a stroller-convertible with double seats. If you just need a trailer (no stroller), then go for the Burley Bee.
Any chance you can review the Qeridoo bike trailer as well?
Hi, awesome vidoe's. I watched em last night. Can you remind me, burley bee vs Thule Cadence. I don't need stroller option, would be for a 3 yr old or 2 infants.
Burley Bee. For sure. Be sure to watch my full review of that trailer.
I’d love to see a comparison between a cargo bike like the Yuba and a trailer or the double child seat setup. I’m really tempted… but the $2k+ cost of admission is quite a commitment.
I have a yuba and I absolutely love it. I bring 3 kids on it almost daily, I installed a Thule yepp mini in the front for my youngest and have 2 kids on the back, it’s super manoeuvreable and slim and easier to manage in tight spaces than a bike trailer, but I also live in the city and am often on one way streets with parking on both side and lots of traffic so those are really important features for me. Also a trailer didn’t work for me because I have a special needs child and he couldn’t manage being “so far” from me while biking and didn’t really understand what was happening in the trailer so it just didn’t work for us.
@@pjabouchard same feeling for me with the trailer. Also I don’t like how all my sand and water from my rear wheel sprays the trailer. I ended up with a Babboe from Netherlands for now; will probably move to a Yuba once I’m confident both my kids will hold on for the ride with no chance of falling asleep.
Hey! Is there any that you would recommend for a 8 month old and a 3 year old? Do any recline so my 8 month could nap?
Is the brand for the bike trailer kidarooz any good?
Excellent video. Would be made a little better with hands on and showing these options. Hard to picture all of these options, especially at this pace. But thanks, good content.
Thanks for the tips!
Super helpful review. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
@@BikeGrowRich Does the Joyrider fold up as small as the others that collapse easily? we have pretty limited space in our garage and it looks like it would be a pretty convenient solution. Just add another bike-hanger hook and put it up on the wall next to the bikes.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
4 miles, I didn't know that. Thanks.👍
@bike & Grow Rich - have there been any new recommendations 2022
Which of these has the highest seat back AND is stroller convertible? We are looking for a good trailer for our 5yo daughter with cerebral palsy.
Question: bike hitch movement...
I have a Croozer wondering if anyone else has issues of the hitch mounted to the bike has play (moves forward/ backwards) under load.
The official position of it says it's supposed to sit at a 6.00 position but I find it's always moving no matter how tight I do it!
Is this common with various trailer brands? I don't see many comments about this issue.
Thank you!
Absolutely! Best of luck to you.
I’d love a video like that for single trailers pretty please
Was thinking the burley bee, any concerns with a carbon frame?
Hey Russel, no concerns at all. I have a carbon road bike and no issues. I even asked Burley directly about this and they said they never had any reports of issues.
What do u think of thule xt coaster as something to hiking/travelling with a 2 y old?
If you're riding with a small child, here are my recommended bike trailers: www.biketrailerplanet.com/best-infant-bike-trailers/
How's jogging with the Schwinn Joyrider? That front wheel looks a little small. We have a BOB jogger and it's great for a few mile jog but we don't necessarily want two full size strollers taking up space
I do jog with the Joyrider at low speeds. It's okay for sidewalks and low speeds. Any rough-terrain running or higher speeds will require a jogger conversion.
@@BikeGrowRich they make a jogger conversion for that one??
Thank you so much for this :)
Thank you for this review! What do you think the max age is for these trailers? I need one for my 15 month old but I also have a 5 year old and trying to decide between double or single. Definitely need it to convert to a stroller and plenty of storage. Also looking for good ventilation. (I'm in Germany and it will get muggy in the summer)
Hi Crisol, any bike trailer will hold a child up to around 6 or 7 comfortably (depending on their size). If you have two kids, I would definitely recommend a double-seater. If you're in Germany, the Thule Chariot Cross should be an available option for you: amzn.to/3sLMpym
There's a full review of that trailer here: czcams.com/video/H8RPcVLlEas/video.html
@@BikeGrowRich Thanks! I love that one and trying to find a used one because they are so pricey. I see a lot of Qeridoo brand here, do you know anything about those? I have not ssen many reviews.
@@crisolrivera4049 Sorry for the late reply! I have not actually seen that one in person, but I've heard it's a good mid-range trailer. I don't particularly like the nylon-type covers on that one. I like the Schwinn Joyrider or Thule Cross more. Here's a helpful review on that if it helps! www.twowheelingtots.com/qeridoo-sportrex-bike-trailer-review/
@@BikeGrowRich Not a problem, thank you so much for your input!
Hi Benjy, what trailer do you recommend for areas with lots of hills? I purchased a Thule Cab and had to return because it was pulling me downhill with kids on it while using it as a stroller (I am pretty small). It was also quite heavy for me to store :(
Picked up a used chariot cross 2 with all bells and whistles on a used platform for only 350.00🎉🎉🎉🎉
I’m hoping to buy a used bike trailer to have a nice one at a discounted price. My question is, will having one child in a double trailer feel off balance or more likely to tip over, while riding, with all the weight on one side? Thank you for sharing all this info!!!!
Hey, just speaking from experience with the one I’ve had (don’t remember the brand), if you have one kid in a double seater, you can move the harness so the kid sits right in the middle. Pretty sure that’s how they all work, since one kid to the side would make it off balance, like you said
What's your take on the older version of the Thule Chariot Cross, the 'Cougar'? I'm trying to decide whether to get it, because it's slightly cheaper than the Cross, but I cannot find any direct comparison between those two.
Good question, they are pretty much the same except in a few areas. For example, I believe the Cougar only comes in single-seat options, and also I'm pretty sure that the wheels don't turn upside down on the stroller when converted to a stroller. Other than that, I'd say go for it. I personally like the Schinn Joyrider more than the Cross and Cougar (because of the cool metal cage), but Thule would be a solid option too :)
The Cougar is available with one and two seats, but the wheels upside down thing is really neat, so if that's only a feature of the Cross, then the Cougar's out. I did look up the Schinn Joyrider, bu it seems to be really difficult to buy some areas and I didn't see a two-seat version of it, which is a feature that I am definitely looking for.
Thanks for the great video and the reply.
I'm looking for a trailer for a larger toddler. I have a two year old who is the size of a 4 year old and 34 lbs. I'm reliant on biking to get around due to my epilepsy. I'm almost leaning towards one that can be a stroller as well, so I can bring in to shop like a grocery cart.
Hey Amanda, did you see this article? I wrote it too :) www.biketrailerplanet.com/best-bike-trailers-for-special-needs/
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. I live in Chicago and haven't owned a car for 11 years, however now that we have a child, I think it's time to get the family cargo bike. However, I don't like the drivers, some of y'all can't drive! He's already too big for a seat at 2.5 years old. Is there something you would suggest, we don't have a budget for this. I just want something that's safe for the street.
Hey Megan, if you're on a budget under $300, I would recommend the Burley Bee. It does not have stroller conversion, but it's a really solid choice. If you bike a lot, you'll like how lightweight it is compared to other options. If you need a stroller conversion, I would go for the Schwinn Joyrider. That's almost $500 trailer, but with the amount of biking your family does I would recommend seeing it as an investment.
@@BikeGrowRich thanks! No we don't have a budget. Since we don't have a car, we can swing a lot in the name of "something that is safe for Chicago city streets". I'm a stroller nerd, I can tell people about all the weird things about them. From design flaws to risks with every brand. Some people like cars, I'm a stroller nerd. I did the digging on the chariot lite and the chariot cross, like it but at 1200 I wanna make sure I'm not making the wrong decision. I'm only kinda familiar with bike trailers as they aren't always strollers. We will be new to biking, but I think it would be better than using a stroller wagon or slow long hauls for school and groceries. We almost considered flying to Japan to buy a bike and gear and come back as it would be cheaper than buying equal stuff in the US.
Yea it's a bit extreme, but research is my thing 😅😅 I've never used a bike trailer, but this is probably going to be a "til it dies" use, so price is not a question, it's just "is it safe enough." I'm lucky enough to be able to say that, but that's the reality.
Thank you very much for all and any help. It's a relief to see someone is as critical and thoughtful about this subject as I am. The world needs more parents like you with this kind of down to earth assessment.
I'd have an odd question: my daughter is 6 and I would like to travel by bike with her. Problem: she's big now and should be able to ride by herself but for such a long distance I would like her to sit in the trailer, enjoy the ride and not get as soaked as me when it's raining. I contacted Thule for advice, response; their trailers are meant for 4 years old and below... I'd like to ask then ; which 2 kids trailer has the most space and allow a kid to sit in the middle?
We only need a burley Bee single as we only have 1 child (2nd child is older and rides her own bike). The double is at amazon as a warehouse deal for $305 Canadian compared to $479.99 for the single. My concern is only having one child in it. We used to have a baby jogger switch back, and it was a double, but designed in a way where a single rider, could ride in the middle, but it seems the burley bee double does not have that option and the child would have to sit on one of the sides. But at $305 for "Used, like new condition" from Amazon Warehouse, it seems like too good a deal to pass up compared to getting the single.
Thanks
What city do you live in? Wherever it is it looks lush and beautiful. Looking to move from dry and bright Denver. Thanks for the great biking tips!
Cary NC, highly recommened.
How does the Burley Bee do with an infant car seat?
The Burley Bee (double) should fit an infant car seat just fine. As long as the car seat is not abnormally large. The Bee comes in single and double, and I'm pretty sure it will not fit in the single.
In your Butley bee review you said it doesnt work with thru axle bikes or with bikes with disc brakes and here you say its compatible. Confused.
Dlite has the two front wheel option
I wished you had footage of the view that children in trailers have. I really want them to have a good view, so they can see their environment and learn the path I bike because they cant do that in a car, Thats what I love about cargo bikes but I really dont want to sell my bike for a cargo one
Idk about the us, maybe the polotics! Anyway! I'm hoping my wife will think outside the box and go with me and my daughter camping! The cool thing about a bike child carrier is that you can carry water and your child while another bike can carry the camper!
Have you tried the Burley D'lite X?
Hey, sorry for the late response! I personally do not like or recommend trailers that have the stroller wheel attached to the hitch arm like on the D'lite. I find it hard to push over bumps and curbs. I would much rather have something like the Schwinn Joyrider, Chariot Cross, or Hamax Outback for a stroller-convertible option. Just my experience and opinion.
@@BikeGrowRich he could be asking because they have a stroller option that you purchase separately, but then give you the stroller option which is similar to the Thule strollers. The difference is that Thule covered with the two strollers wheels standard, asked not as an additional purchase.
I am buying a used bike trailer but is in very good condition. The only thing is that it does not have the hitch. Can I buy any hitch to attach to my bike or should I pass on buying it? Thank you.
I wrote an article just for you! www.biketrailerplanet.com/bike-trailer-couplers/
Since you've done your research maybe you can save me a lot of time. I have a special needs adult daughter who is close to 5' tall and weights 100lbs. I'm wondering if there is a trailer that would fit her without resorting to the very expensive Wike trailer? I've been looking for several hours, but can't see to find the info I need. Would you happen to know of any options out there?
Hi Cindy, thanks for your message. Did you see this article? www.biketrailerplanet.com/best-special-needs-bike-trailers/
@@BikeGrowRich yes, I did. The Wike trailer seems to be the only option. It will be just under $1000 - I was hoping to find a cheaper option.
Do you think I could fit a car seat with my 7 month old in the minnow
That's a tough call because the Minnow is a one-seater, but I would just try it and return if you can't fit it. It should def fit in a Burley Bee if it's a standard infant car seat.
Are you able to share how you secure your bike trailer so it isn’t stolen?
Take one wheel off and put it in the stroller!
I"m so glad you mentioned the ridiculous driving habits we have in the US. It's absurd, unhealthy, and wasteful.
1970s urban sprawl zoning and coding is really to blame. Most high demands best places to live in the US are mixed zoning areas. We are slowing trending towards this however.
@@Mike-gz4xn meaning, we really can't blame anyone but ourselves. But I do agree, our building zones and public transit make it difficult. With so much remote work options now, people have less of an excuse. I think it boils down to people just wanting to be comfortable and have 100% independence every where they go. That's just not sustainable and it's not a coincidence either that the US is a huge fat body country. We're growing lazier and more whiny by the day.
People will ride more if the feel safe. I round often when I lived in NYC but now living in NJ where stroads abound, not so much. 😢
How can I attach a bike trailer to an adult tricycle?
I hope this video is helpful to you! Let me know if you have questions.

I have one baby he is 15 months old and I want a trailer to take him out but I cant find a one seater that is also a stroller as well. Most of trailer/strollers are 2 seater and I dont think I need it or if its even safe to carry one toddler in a 2 seater.
Hey, so the only one that I would recommend is the Chariot Cross single-seater. It's such a good trailer and stroller. Here it is: amzn.to/3ijsiVe
@@BikeGrowRich weird that you mention it because today I went on FB and saw a guy selling that exact one brand new for $450 and pulled the trigger but not before dropping it down to $400!
No hamax options listed. Thule or Hamax are basically the only options in Europe
Start at 3:27
Burley's website says ALL their trailers have 45kg capacity (ie: 100 lbs).
I don't think I could justify 1K for a bike trailer, but those are cool high end ones
Yeah, same here. Good thing there are other options :)
Some people want a Ford. Some people want a Saturn. Some people really enjoy how a Mercedes-Benz feels and looks.
Allen was the best for me
Which one keeps dust from mountain biking out the most? Don't want their snack and faces dirty with dust riding offroad.
Good question, all bike trailers mentioned in this video have a plastic cover that covers the front so that rain/dirt/etc. does not intrude.
???? Where is hamax? Its not good? Then thule chariot cross is beter then thule chariot sport or cab 2, what about ventilasjon? I know the thule lite there isn't, what about floor? What do you recommend soft floor or plastic floor? Which model i can use longer period, more years, where is more space for bigger children? I think in thule lite was 111cm tall children max, and thule cab was +3 cm. Which is more comfortable for one children, 1 seter or 2 seter?
Problem is dicks in cars . I feel that my son would be so vulnerable. I’d like to find some long gravel trails and fire roads . But their not much of that around the outskirts of London
I owned an instep trailer. Oh man! Those are HORRIBLE! no no no !! oh God, NO!!! hahahha.. have I told you "no" yet? lol ... That trailer helped pushed me to get a Burley Honey Bee. I was like, "screw it! I need a real trailer stroller". Let me tell ya, these are AMAZING! No way! WHAT? I can't get enough of this trailer. Little people are not so litte anymore. So? I keep the trailer to run grocery runs. The honey bee is so good that I am considering getting a d'lite single to fit thru most doors, so I can "truly" be bike commuting (and ditch my car) for around town. Why? Cause you never know when you suddenly feel like a cup of coffee at the local coffee shop and God forbid they have a regular 30" door which the honey bee can not go thru (my beloved honey bee is awesome but a bit on the "wide" side). I will keep the honey bee forever, and pass it onto to my great grand children. lol Question, the Thule Chariot Cross, does it convert into a cargo trailer (for when little people aren't little anymore)?
Hey, good to have you and hear your experience! The Chariot Cross can be used as a cargo trailer, for sure. If you are asking if they seats are removable, no they are not. But there is still plenty of storage in my opinion even with the seats intact. There is storage in the front, on the seats, and even in the back of the trailer. I'd say it's a good option if you're looking for a trailer/stroller/cargo trailer.
@@BikeGrowRich thank you! that helps me decide actually. I believe the Burley D'lite Single Seater is what I want, for its cargo capability and turning into a strolling "cargo" cart. I know it's on the expensive side so, saving up for that. :) Thanks for letting me know.
I love this bike trailers videos, thank you. but the whole concept is much difficult if you dont actually record the process of connecting the bike to the trailer, with the actual cases, different bikes, different sizes...not crouching please. I have no idea what all the words you say really mean unless I actually see you doing it.
The current designs for child carriers are simply not safe. The rear tow trailers are very vulnerable to being hit from behind and offer zero protection to kids. At the very least impact absorbing materials and roll cages should be compulsory for child carrying trailers.
I really can't imagine the level of wealth someone must have to blow 1100 us dollars on a bike trailer. That is just obscene pricing and a person must really not care about money at that point.
The problem is that the better quality they are the heavier they are to lift. Fine if you're a big guy but tough for typical woman to lift. I'm only 5'2 115 lbs so I prefer the lighter and cheaper ones for my dogs. If it was for a kid I would buy a better quality. Many of those reviews may be from people who use these for dogs and not kids I bet.
Dude get your hands under control!
Lol
Don’t ever EVER EVER state something should be priced higher. Ever.
Why do you move your hands so much?
Lol, I do a lot of presenting so it's a habit I've developed to stay engaging while I talk. Or maybe it's my European ancestry :)
@@BikeGrowRich ok then thanks for the expo.
So glad I came across your videos! I’m following as I’m on the hunt for a bike trailer!!! We live on gravel and spend so much time outside so I’m excited to get one of these for our little boy and future kiddos! Thanks for info!!!!
Good luck!!
