Cheap quality and small
I did a lot of research in an attempt to buy a bike trailer under $250. At first I brought home the Avenir Discovery but my wife said it needed to be convertable to a stroller...so I returned it and ordered the InStep Rocket. For about the same price as the Avenir, the quality of the InStep's side windows and seating were not nearly as good. The seat was terrible and small - the kids slid into one another. I do not recomend this carrier.

Wonderful!
Wonderful. Our 10 month old loves riding and just sitting in this! We haven't used it as a stroller yet but will be soon on vacation. Rides smooth, lots of storage and once you have the straps setup for 1 child it is easy to use the seatbelt system ... for 2 kids it would be no issue at all from the start. We wanted her to sit in the middle and use the combined straps. Highly reccomend!

Does not attach to all bikes!
This trailer does not attach to all bikes. Upon receipt of the product, I assembled the trailer and attempted to take it for a spin. I was extremely frustrated when I found that the trailer would not attach to my GT Avalanche 3.0. I contacted the manufacturer and they told me to return the product as there is no attachment that would fix the problem. My bike does not have an abnormal frame and I was shocked to learn that the trailer would not work. Unless you have a bike frame with a very WIDE and FLAT area where the quick release mechanism attaches to the bike, I would suggest staying away from this product. I am now looking for a trailer that will attach to the actual frame and NOT to the quick release mechanism.

Instep Rocket - Good Buy
I've only had this for a month and have used it many times. The stroller is definitely very light and a good build. The instructions on how to put it together weren't very clear, but we were able to figure it out. The trailer is a bit wide and does not fit through our backyard gate, so I have to carry it side ways to get it through. The buckles and safety straps are difficult to work with when you have two squirmy kids. Other than that, the trailer is pretty roomy and the weather proof cover is easy to close up. On flat surfaces you can't even tell there is a trailer behind you, it's a little harder when there is an incline, but not much. The ride with the trailer is pretty smooth except when there are sudden changes in the slope of the ground, and then you feel a sudden gentle tug from the trailer. I'm pretty happy with it so far. I just wish it would fit through my gate easily.

My kids love this trailer...
I researched and compared various bike trailers before deciding to buy this trailer. I bought this as a Christmas present to my husband who is a big time mountain biker. He is VERY picky about his bike so I was worried that he might not like the trailer I picked out b/c it wasn't the most expensive (compared to Burley, etc.) He now says he would have picked out the same trailer. It is perfect for our needs. In stroller mode, it almost drives itself - so SMOOTH. My 1 year old and 3 year old fit comfortably in the trailer and both have pockets for drinks/snacks. Plus, the trailer has a roomy back pocket for other things you might want to bring along. My 3 year old doesn't like to sit in "strollers" anymore but he loves riding in this "trailer." All in all this trailer ROCKS!
