Rating : - Good Design - But Lacking Quality
I purchased the Wee-Ride Co-Pilot so my 3.5 year old son and I could go riding together. I researched all the available models. This model was my 2nd choice but it was less expensive and it was available locally. That would allow me to take it back if I had the same problems with the u-joint/hitch as other reviews described.

Good thing. The Wee-Ride factory assembled the u-joint so tightly that it prevented the U-joint/hitch from moving vertically. The bike shop tried to loosen the bolt but could not. I thought I had better tools at home so I agreed to take it home and try to loosen the bolt. My good tools only made the Allen head hexagonal flats into a recessed circle (the bolt appears to be made of mild steel). I could have ground the bolt head off and used a another bolt with a nylon-locking nut, but I would have messed up the paint. So I returned the bike and the other one in the store had the same tight u-joint problem. So I left without a bike.

The quick connect hitch was also very difficult to separate or re-connect. I had to tap with a hammer separate the hitch. It also had to be perfectly aligned to slide together. Neither task could I do without help when atually trying to attach/separate the two "bikes".

The design of the folding mechanism is good. It folds in such a way that gravity helps hold it closed and the locking clamp just adds to the firm connection. The joint is designed with a large flat surfaces to spread the loads out which would prevent the tube from deforming or breaking.

The bike fit my 3.5 son well, but he would not have been able to peddle (only placing his feet on the peddles). This would have allowed hime some time before he out grew the bike.

After I returned the Co-Pilot, I purchased my 1st choice trailer bike from an Amazon merchant (Season Outfitters). My first choice was the Adams Original Folder 1 Trail-A-Bike 20 Black which is designed by Canadians. It was $25 more expensive, but it appears to be worth the extra money. The hitch is a design that allows one person to connect or disconnect the two bikes without help. The trail-a-bike pulls very well behind my bike and my son feels very secure even when making tight turns. The Adams Trail-a-Bike was good purchase.
