Reviews for Croozer 535 bike trailer

I've had this for two years now,(going on three) and it has held up great! My two girls 2yrs and 4yrs love going for rides. Folds up very easy for transporting, nice cargo area for picnic and shopping trips. I like it better than the Burly. No complaints at all.

I researched & researched before getting this trailer. I wanted something I could use as a stroller as well. I couldn't find a Croozer in any stores nearby, so I compared the Burley D'Lite and Chariot trailers. I felt the Burley was already too small for my 3-1/2 year old (not enough leg room), and I didn't like that the 1 year old slouched over into his brother. I love the Croozer's bucket seats for this reason. The Chariot is incredible, but I refuse to pay $700 for a bike trailer & attachments!! So, I took a chance on the Croozer. (Side Note: I love that this site has return shipping insurance. I could buy and make sure it worked for us without fear of return shipping charges). We love our Croozer. It's easy to pull and the stroller is great. I don't think it's wobbly in stroller mode like other reviewers had mentioned. I find it's very sturdy. It's also very easy to steer. It is a bit wider than other trailers, so you can't fit through small doors, but I like the extra shoulder room for the kids. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend.

Though it's not hand-made, all parts fit snugly. I've used it now multiple times in all three modes. The stroller mode leaves something to be desired (wobbly, hard to negotiate curbs),but it's least important to me. Weight is a drawback, but I'm not racing when the kids are behind me. Really, it just makes for a better workout. The lack of a helmet pocket is bothersome for my 1 y.o. The 3 y.o. is just fine. Finally, the non-adjustable handle is low for me, though it fits my wife perfectly. To me, these drawbacks are not enough to warrant the extra money for a "better" trailer. Likely, the more expensive models have drawbacks of their own. The kids love the bucket seats. It's easy to change from stroller to trailer, etc. There's plenty of storage space. I'm impressed with the way it rides behind my bike. But for the extra weight, I can hardly tell it's there. As a stroller, I doubt it would do well at the grocery store, etc., but for any outdoor activity I would recommend this to anyone.

The croozer seems to be very nice and I love the price and accessories, but on the test drive it felt shaky. My bike was harder to balance and it made me very nervous. For a strong biker this may not be a an issue. The Croozer also has a small interior. My daughter is 3 and wears 3/4 T clothes and it did not seem like she would have a lot of growth room. She also commented on the wobble.
