I purchased this for my son who is 18 months old, and he loves being in it and going for a bike ride. I love the design and the storage area at the back of the trailer, which is perfect for storing a backpack and other bits. The only downside has already been picked up in another review, and I would reiterate it - that the flag is on the wrong side of the trailer, with no way of switching it. In terms of cycling with the trailer, it's genuinely very little extra effort.
