Trail-a-bike experiences?

[chris_s]

My 3-yr old is getting a bit tall for his iBert. Thinking about picking up a trail-a-bike. Anybody out there have experience with one? Other suggestions?

I can’t remember what brand we had (13 years ago), may have been Trail-a-bike. I used it with our son when he was between four and five years old (he was big for his age). He enjoyed getting out behind me on what he called the “stick” bike. However, while there were no problems on level ground, I found the version we had difficult to handle on uphills (Brandymore Castle on the W&OD and the link from n Four Mile Run Dr to Ohio St N. We got him his own bike when he was five and he immediately fell off and has pretty much refused to ride ever since.

Note that Bike & Roll sells used trail-a-bikes for $100 during their sale, which is coming up.

Thanks for all the tips. I will definitely check out the weehoo and others and good to know about the sale!
