Yep that's why I grabbed the camera.

The Hase Trets with two rear wheels and the ability to convert to a solo is a more stable and versatile machine

And more than slightly more expensive.

But worth the extra?

Child really contributes to pedaling

What happens if they keep peddling when you are coasting ?

Part of the fun!

We use t have a Creswell U +2, and my 7 and 5 year old niece and nephew loved the though that they could power the combination whilst I was not pedalling.

Yeah definately! Mad and probably very unsafe! Could upgrade that to a trolley if you had 2 kids...

There's a quick release bolt through the tubing, just below the crud catcher. Remove the bolt and you've got two sections.

Usually not much. Their gearing is 42x16 on a 20" wheel so there's not much bite for them over about 12mph, and not much leg-strength that you can't overcome by feathering your brakes.

Happy to answer any further queries, keep 'em coming!

Probably, I was the bald one with the beard, and alone on Friday. We expect most buyers to be parents of kids between 3 and 6 - too big for a frame-seat, too bored in a Burley, and too young to stay awake for long enough on an Adams or Trail Gator. The option is there for kids of average height to stay in the iGo until age 9, but we expect many will want more independence by then.

PS I saw this today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O65nSruiL it looks a bit bumpy for my daughter, but he seems to like it.
