Great Bike Trailer
Have had it for about a month and a half. Solid construction, easy to put together. I passed on a couple other option by InStep and I'm glad I did. Have not had any issues with this. Great buy for whoever is looking for a budget friendly trailer.

So far, so good...
We've been using this exclusively as a jogger since we got it about a week ago and I love it. It's exactly what I was looking for to push my two boys around town. It's sturdy and rides smoothly. I was a bit worried that it would be too bulky and cumbersome to use as a jogger...it IS pretty big and bulky but not too cumbersome. It handles nicely and my boys seem pretty comfortable inside. Because of it's large size, don't expect to be bringing this thing into your house after each run. You'll need a shed or a garage.I really like how this has a clear plastic roll-away top cover. It keeps the boys dry when raining and warm when it's cold. The sun really warms it up in there when the plastic cover is down. Otherwise, on nice days, we keep the top open completely and they boys love that. There's also a decent amount of storage room in the back.I really only have one major complaint...and this is why I didn't give it 5/5. The hand break is essentially worthless. I tried adjusting it as much as possible...I even tried shifting the break to a different position on the wheel. The best I could accomplish was to lightly hug the front tire...it's essentially futile to try to slow down the jogger with 2 boys. Luckily, a breaking system isn't imperative on these things...it's more of a luxury. A minor issue is that the straps aren't very comfortable for the boys, so I plan on getting some strap pads, which is simple enough. All things considered, for $140, this is a pretty good buy and I would definitely recommend it to other people to use as a jogger. Judging by how well it functions as a jogger, I'd assume that it functions just as well, if not better, as a bike trailer.EDIT: 3 months later: There is a mounted nut where you use a hand screw to attach/tighten/detach the front wheel. Well, that little nut broke off so I had to rig up a new concoction to get the tire to stay tight and it was sure a pain in the but...but I did fix it...for now. Without that nut, you can't really use the front wheel.

Front wheel does not turn.. this is not a jogger!!!!
The front wheel does not turn and it kept pulling to the left. If you are using this as a jogger it will be a disaster. Also it has a front brake that doesn’t even make contact with the wheel and has a very long cable connecting it from the handlebar to the front wheel. Other reviewers mentioned this as well so I knew that before purchasing it. I just thought as long as it worked as a jogger I could deal with it for the price. I returned it the same day.

The brake might as well not be there.
The brake on this is a joke, I cant get the darn thing to work. Also..I should have gotten a swivel front wheel. Very discouraging after the tons of hours I put into researching the best trailer for us!

its easy to essemble and hook to bike but the seatbelts ...
I think it works well, its easy to essemble and hook to bike but the seatbelts are a little weird and if you children are really young the seat belts dont come over their shoulders but more by the side of their face so i had to put a pillow in there for them to sit on. Also if your child falls asleep there is no comfortable way for them to lay down. and if its really hot there is no gaurd from the sun. but it rides fine.

It’s excellent
I’ve had this for 7 years now. Still using it with my 3rd kid. It has outlived any other baby gadget we’ve bought. I recommend it highly.

Very pleased!
We have only used this as a stroller and I have to say it is amazing! I love to walk but my my 8 year old gets tired. It carries my 32lb one year old and 65 lb 8 year old with no problems. My son is a little tall but he slouches. I have arthritis in my wrist and can still easily push the two of them up and down hill. I walk about 5 miles a day. I love, love, love this stroller!!

Overall this trailer is pretty decent. The brake is useless so I removed ...
Overall this trailer is pretty decent. The brake is useless so I removed it (which is really the only area where it missed out on 5/5 stars). It just makes far more sense to utilize the back wheels for braking, as the front is too light for the front wheel to even grab the ground with any sense of confidence that it will provide you with adequate stopping power. The front wheel is easy to pop on/off depending on what we're doing and where we're going. It's nice when we're on vacation as we can pop the front wheel on, lock up the bikes, and do our thing on the boardwalk or whatever it may be. The trailer seems well balanced, which is nice, as the spot where the kiddos sit is just a hunch in front of the axle. This balance is pretty noticable when hooked up to the bike as I don't feel any sort of up/down tugging. It glides very acceptably when riding with a surprisingly low amount of drag. Even at 25 mph it'll track with decent stability behind me.The wheels are surrounded by removable bars. These pop on and off easily, though I like the idea of them remaining on when I'm pulling it on the bike. It just gives me an extra sense of security that a wheel can't easily go flying off the trailer itself. It folds up very easily as well. I have limited storage space in my shed, but I tend to keep the wheels and wheel bars connected at all times. I just pop off the few pop-locks it has to fold it down and toss it on the shelf, as my storage spot for it will manage fine with wheels connected, but not so much when it's fully built. It's very easy to quickly assemble/disassemble when needed.I quite like it's 'generic' style hookup to the rear skewer, as I have a recumbent bicycle (Bacchetta Giro 26 for those curious), so trailers like this seemed attractive as I can swap it between my upright mountain bike and my Giro without issue, despite the two bikes being wildly different in design. Some other trailers I looked at had unique designs that would have made compatibility with other bike form factors difficult. Overall, very nice unit. No major complaints.
