5 Stars Fantastic!
the Kelty 3.0 is just fantastic! I purchased it for an upcoming vacation in the Adirondacks where my husband and I want to take our baby hiking with us. He is 8months old and sometimes we take him for walks in it, instead of using the stroller. It’s a new view for him, he’s high up like we are, and in this, he isn’t in the ’sitting’ position, so it’s a nice change for him in that way too. It’s totally cmfortable for him and for us too. My husband is 6.2′ and I’m 5′2, and it’s completely and easily adjustable.

5 Stars great for my 8 month old!
arrived 3 days Less then the estimated delivery date stated! My baby fits perfectly and loves riding with the sun/rain shade on! He is one to kick his socks off so an enclosed bottom collects anything he drops. great padding. feels weightless. a lot of adjustment straps will Ensure a good fit. i started with everything large/loose and figured out my fit perfectly one notch at a time. Since there are going to be 2 of us using the backpack, I took a whiteout marker and marked my preferred Holes to make the switching easier! wonderfully padded for baby and even has a drool guard!

4 Stars Great Unit, but takes some getting used to.
I love this pack, but the first two/three times I used this to carry my 20lbs son, it felt a bit wobbly. The pictures in the ownern’s manual are a bit 1-dimensional so it took some looking at the picture, then back at the pack, and so forth. All in all, it is a great pack and worth every penny we spent. I wouldn’t recommend carrying more than just your child, unless you are used to carrying heavy packs around.

3 Stars buyeconomical has horrible return policy
Please be sure to review the return policy for buy.economical if you are purchasing this product from them. I will never use Amazon again

4 Stars Great Product, Bad Service
So I love this backpack and would tell other parents to purchase it. However, I did have trouble with Amazon over my purchase. They sent me the pack “new” but it was missing the hood cover; I bought it on sale and they wanted me to return the item and purchase a new one at the additional cost or they wanted me to keep it and they would give me back 24.00 of my purchase. To make a long story short I had to contact Kelty and they finally helped me out with it by sending me a new cover free of charge. I recommend if you buy this item to purchase it from a company other than Amazon since they were not helpful to me.

4 Stars What a deal!
I was a little iffy on purchasing a bike trailer that cost less that most but I read the reviews and thought I would give it a try. I LOVE IT! It’s very lightweight and easy to attach to my bike. I can hardly tell it’s back there (except when there is a significant wind then the thing is a parachute). There were no instructions on how to assemble, my poor husband had only the picture on the box to go by. I haven’t used it as a stroller yet but it looks very easy to put the front wheel on. I don’t like the shoulder straps, however. I wish the fasteners were your normal clips (like on a stroller) instead they are the hook clip that can be rather difficult to undo (especially if you have a 1-year-old that’s had enough of the bike ride). Other than that, I’m very happy with it.

4 Stars Great trailer
I recently purchased the Schwinn Trailblazer Double as a 2nd trailer to keep at my parents’ house. We also own a Chariot double. For the price,the Schwinn gets the job done.

Positives - it folds VERY flat and compactly and is easy to fold (even while holding a squirming 11 month old), it is light, good ventilation, snack pockets, nice storage bin, handle bar can be set for different height parent, snap cover is easy to put on/take off, the front “arm” folds in for a very small “folded footprint”

Negatives - no shocks so is a bumpy ride, the front wheel is not very sturdy (when I ran with it, I tilted the stroller so the wheel was off the ground), small sling-style seat so the kids sit very close together, straps are not very adjustable and can be difficult to clip on/off, cannot be fitted with an infant sling, no sun shade

All-in-all, a great stroller. I would consider this as our only trailer if we didn’t already have a Chariot.

4 Stars Great Value
Great bike trailer without breaking the bank! The kids love it and it’s easy to hook up and pull. Would definitely buy this trailer again.

5 Stars Great Deal!
I bought this about a year ago. My son and I go all over Chapel Hill with it. He loves it, and so do I. It’s a great way for me to spend time with my son while running errands and getting exercise. We never vacation without it. If I were designing this trailer I might tweak some things, and I’ve seen features on other trailers that look nice, but I think you’d be a fool to spend more on a trailer unless you were planning to do some serious single-track mountain biking with your child in tow. It’s like harnessing your child into their own roll cage, which makes it WAAAY safer than a bike seat.

The only minuses I can even think of are a cheap front wheel for the stroller conversion (it’s made of plastic), I had to reglue the safety flag, and it doesn’t lock in the folded position. All of those can be fixed if you’re willing to spend double the money on Burley or a Chariot. Save your cash. You’re a parent. Put it in your child’s college fund!

4 Stars Good but it NEEDS A BRAKE!!!
We bought this for out 13 month old daughter a few months ago and loved it as a trailer. I have recently taken up jogging and it rolls very nicely. I thought that there could be nothing wrong with it until I tried to stop on a very slight hill…there is no “parking” brake! The trailer needs to be stopped on very flat ground or it will roll away. I gave it four stars because it is such a great trailer and also jogger. It rolls as nice as some friends’ expensive joggers but the brake is a safety feature that Schwinn should have thought of.
