The Booyah has pocket seats, 2 bike hitches (A MUST), safety jogging wrist strap, and a safety flag standing 6 feet (oppose to 4 feet). Children have their own lap belt (oppose to each child sharing the same belt). The removable pins needed to attach the bike and also collapse the trailer remain attached (oppose to being lose and getting lost easily). Trailer has a front lockable 12 INCH swivel wheel ( not 10, like the competition says. Compare photos), lockable rear hand break, 20 inch, quick release rear wheels, 6 reflectors, reflecting side strips and rain/wind cover, and rear prongs for front wheel storage when not in use. We have an easy to connect, resistance free bike hitch and our trailer pulls directly center behind the bike. Competitions off center pulling makes it difficult to pull on sidewalks (see comparison images). Although on the surface these seem similar to the others trailers, know that there are very different.

The price was right. So I ordered. When the giant package came to my door i was excited to start assembling the trailer and get to riding. First things first, the bulk of the instruction manual is in CHINESE! Not that there's anything wrong with that, it just made for an interesting read. The English translation was a bit on the rough side, but was awesomely hilarious (one line said something to the effect of "impregnate wheel tire with air". Once you get the hang of the assembly, it's mostly just common sense to complete. From unboxing-to-ready took about an hour(ish). I hooked up the quick mount bracket to the rear axle of my Trek, and took off on pilot run. My first thoughts were "Holy hell, I must be more out of shape than I thought!" Then remembered that this trailer is of steel frame construction and clocks in at around 50 lbs. So I decided "hey fatty, get over it and pedal the baby around like a man. If stick legged hipster dads, ( complete with rolled up skinny jean leg, ironic "internet cat meme" tattoo, bad Christmas sweaters and handlebar mustaches) could zip around our mile high city, then so could I. A few days later, I decided to take our first bicycle adventure. I packed the diaper bag in the rear area (behind the baby seat) and was pleased at the amount the room for storage. Though not remarkably ample, a diaper bag+purse+3 to 4 lunch packs+tripod fit pretty well. Then came time to load said meat wiggle sack (read:baby). This is where my first functional disappointment enters the story. The "seats" aren't as much seats, as just a flap of fabric (ripstop nylon, I believe?...) festooned with some rudimentary nylon straps. Thought the recommended age of the trailer was years 1 to 5, I couldn't seem to adjust the straps to fit him (or my peace of mind) comfortably. There also wasn't really anything between the fabric "seat" and the ground. Filling my head with images my little grungle ripping through the bottom and being left a mile behind me on the sidewalk. So I put more padding, in the form of assorted pillows and towels, under his bottom. You know, for protection. Then I secured him as well as functionally possible, zipped the front cover, rolled up the plastic window (so as the baby could enjoy the cool air on his curly 11 month old mop, I guess..). I then double checked the tire pressure, relocated the removable front stroller wheel to its rearward location, flipped out the bicycle mounting arm and connected the unit to my bike. After a few more double checks of all the equipment, I put on my helmet and fingerless gloves, and rode for hours into the afternoon. Or would have rode hours, that is, if not for the fact that the load I was hauling felt like ONE MILLION POUNDS!!! After about an hour of pulling, what felt like, an industrial grade spindle of sheet steel, I gladly turned around and headed back home. It also didn't help that I was checking the trailer so often, my back and neck were beginning to hurt as much as my glutes, hams, calves, knees, toes, tendons, ligaments, etc... Point is: I was beat. I had been riding my bike (solo, mind you) every day that summer and was in decent riding shape, and I was officially cooked. Not one for defeat, a few day later I tried the same outing again with similar results. A few months later, I sold the trailer to a local kids consignment shop and never looked back. Don't get me wrong, if you: a) are a glutton for physical punishment, b) have had your license revoked due to unpaid parking tickets, DUI, car theft, etc... and just need to get your baby to daycare, or c) don't have hundreds of dollars to spend on a metal frame with wheels that pulls your brood or personal possessions behind you, than this trailer will get the job done. If the previous work of non-fiction does not sound like a good time, then you should probably spend the extra $100 on an aluminum framed, American made model. Happy biking, and if you find a small child on the riding path, with road rash and remnants of cheap,thin nylon around it, email Amazon.
