Allen Sports Deluxe Steel Child Trailer

Years ago (many many years), I shuttled my kids to work, school, etc. in an expensive Burley (a shower gift). Once kids outgrew it, I the Burley. 15 years later, I want one for groceries, look at the price—good grief! Found the Allen by chance, took a chance, and could not be more pleased. Light, roomy seating and storage, spacious pockets, sturdy inflatable wheels, sharp turning radius, strong and attractive exterior. People complain about their babies “submarining” off the seat. To that I say, if your child is too small to sit up on his/her own, it has no business being back there without a carseat. If you need to prop a toddler, stick a pillow under the seat. That’s what I did with back in the day with the other trailer. Actually the only cons were: 1. the hard to discern photography in the directions. Allen should just do simple graphics instead of reproducing an originally-color booklet in poor resolution black and white, which was only an issue because 2. the directions explicitly state that the tires are sticker-marked right and left. I had no stickers, wasted half an hour squinting at the pictures to see if I could discern a difference, and failing at that, called customer service, only to be told “ Oh! The tires can go on either side!” But other than that, great piece of workmanship.
