 Thinking of getting 1 of these http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-1428744-10294381?url=http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3334577.htm#pdpFullProductInformation

has anyone got 1? can you explain how they work? Do they lift the front wheel off the floor? Can the handle bars still be turned side to side or does it make them rigid?

What are the advantages over a trailer bike like this?

When we went to clumber park recently we hired 2 of them for both our girls aged 4 and 5, I didnt trust my 4 year old so were going to keep her in the trailer buggy untill next year but the older 1 was fine on it so now now im not sure weather to get her the trailer bike or the bar to fit to her own bike, im just not sure how that bar works?

The trail gator is great but it will lean to one side if it not set up properly both our kids have used it and they love it . If there starting to ride them selfs its just perfect . It means you can go for longer rides allow them to ride and then tow them along when tired or through town  

you can use the trail gator with stablizers if there still using them ! When we intended to go some distance id turn  the stabalizers up to make things safer at speed towing

The trailer bike is just that a trailer no opportunity for little ones to ride by them selfs

been using one for  a few months now for the youngest. its great as it means he can ride on longer journeys with me. yes it lifts the wheel off the floor and puts the bike at an angle , but not too severe.

took about 30 minutes to fit , but if the brakes on the childs bike are centre pull you will need an adaptor or a old set of v brakes to replace the centre pull brakes with. not beyond the ability of any competent person.  

cheaper to get from rutland cycles online or decathlon though.

We have one that has never been used that we are going to put on ebay so keep your eyes open lol :D

OH just said if you decided you want one ,ours is going on ebay for £30 + £8 delivery but if you can meet us on the bridge ( on foot so saving on extortionate toll you dont need to pay postage ;)
