baby bike trailer?

[MustangGal]

My mom was as Target last night, and found the Schwinn Turbo Bike Trailer on clearence for $80. It''s normally like $160. The reviews I found on it are fine, but is there something better out there? Anyone have experience with this one? We weren''t planning on buying a trailer until x-mas, but I can''t pass it up if it''s a great deal since we''ll need it soon anyway!

We have 1 skinny baby (6 months now), so weight won''t be too much of a concern.

Well IMO (from working at 2 bike shops over 6 years) I really love the Chariot trailers. BUT they are very pricey. So I think the Schwinn ones are nice for the $.

That being said usually it''s not recommended to put a child in one until about a year old. Just so you know...

I wasn''t planing on putting him in there for a while anyway (and the current 110 dregree weather here isn''t any help!), which was why we were going to wait until x-mas to get one. He''s be 11 months old then and x-mas here is perfect biking time. I just figure it might be better to spend $80 now and put it away for a few moths, then have to spend $160 down the line.

I don''t think we''ll be using it too much or for very long distances, so I''m hoping the Schwinn would be good enough? I figure for half price I could sell it down the line and get a better one if we feel the need to upgrade.

I think the schwinn will be totally fine for you then. They just aren''t the most durable things for someone who is going to use it everyday.
