Our Review of the InSTEP Rocket Aluminum bike trailer
The InSTEP Rocket Aluminum utilizes an aluminum frame, outrigger wheel guards, and shock absorbing 20" wheels. The Rocket seats either one or two children, and converts quickly between a bike trailer and a stroller without tools. This makes it possible to bike to the store with your kids in tow . . . then when you arrive you can park, lock your bike, and take them out for a stroll.
Standout Features:
- Converts to a stroller without using tools
- Aluminum frame
- 20" rustproof, alloy wheels
- Universal couple attaches quickly and easily to bikes
- Weather shield guards against inclement weather
- Seats one or two children (100 lb weight capacity)
Benefits for You: Designed with adaptable convenience in mind, the Rocket converts from a bicycle trailer to a swivel-wheel stroller sans tools. The universal hitch attaches quickly and easily to any bicycle's rear axle, including both bikes with rear hub nuts and quick release rear axles. Installation for a rear hub nut requires a wrench, but not an engineering degree.
The lightweight aluminum frame makes for easy trailing. The 20" rustproof, alloy wheels stand up to harsh weather and roll smoothly over rough terrain. A rear storage area holds odds and ends.
Benefits for Baby: The Rocket comes equipped with a zip up weather canopy to protect riders from the elements, internal child storage cabinets, and two five-point harnesses. The large front opening makes getting in and out easy for kids. As an improvement over past Rocket models, the new Rocket features 20% larger side windows for more scenic rides. Always have children wear bicycle helmets.
Bottom Line: The Rocket Aluminum is a solid choice for parents who want a durable, affordable bike trailer that converts to a walking stroller. If you are a jogger, plan on going on long rides, or expect to use your bicycle trailer frequently, you may want to consider the Schwinn Mark III or a Burley convertible trailer.
