First Impressions: Pre-use
Just got done putting together the Aesom trailer and wanted to offer some first impressions, pros and cons.
Pros:
* Fairly easy to put together and the obviously translated from Chinese instructions were kind of funny ("... invaginate the wheel into the coupling")
* Feels sturdy and well-designed. Switch from jogger to bicycle attachment looks easy.
Cons
* Ordered blue, got red
* Cracked plastic casing that holds the handlebar similar to another reviewer's experience. Emailed company - and literally got a human response less than 10 minutes later with a promise to replace the part.
* This is the biggie: specs stated a 100lb weight limit. I have a 5 and 2 year old. Together they weigh maybe 60 lbs. What I didn't see anywhere was a HEIGHT restriction. There is a line printed on the seat back saying do not go past this. And my 2 year old's head is less than an inch from that line without a helmet. The 5 year old is way too tall. What a bummer. I guess I will look around and see if this is a common restriction in bike trailers.
