Yesterday , I bought one of the "trailers" to pull behind a bike that you ride kids or pets in. It's a Schwinn and appears to be new and unused.I checked for dog hair and found none. I intend to ride my two grandsons in it. They are my sons boys and one is two and a half . The other is seven months old. I got the thing for what I thought was a good deal. I discovered though, after I got it home that I don't have the attaching hardware to connect it to a bike. Looks like I'll be spending another $20-25 to be able to use it.I will post some pics when I get new batteries for my camera.
Don't buy the cheap-o hardware, I have found that a bike BMX peg with a hole and a quick release bolt works a million times better. Here's mine, I've hauled 300+ lbs in it to the scrapyard and not broke it yet.
Here is a photo of my trailer. I have figured out that Schwinn made two different styles of connectors. The ones I see on Ebay bolt to the bike and have a" pipe " that sticks out at 90 degrees. The tongue on mine is angled. I will fabricate a bracket for mine.I have an old three wheeled stroller that I might build another trailer from for hauling other stuff, besides the grandsons.
