Howdo,
We've been getting some good, socially distanced, use out of our tag-along this year, but we're getting a bit tall for it (Black lamb is a rather tall 6 year old) and on the cusp of riding our own bike,
I've been starting to look at towing a child's bike and the options seem to be the Trail Gator or the 'follow me tandem' the latter being twice the price!
The main negatives I hear about the Trail Gator is that it can wag the tow bike as it's attached to the seat tube which is the same as what I get with the we-ride we've got, will that really be much different, obviously as my daughter gets older / onto a bigger bike there'll be a bit more leverage, but as time goes on, it'll be used more to get along road sections of rides before letting her loose again when safe to
Does anyone use one on a child's bike with 18-20 inch wheels?
How is it?
Has anyone used both and would say the extra cost of the 'follow me' is worth it?
