I enjoy my coaster a lot. Is a great product. But, if I could choose again I would look for a trolley with ajustable backrest. Children often fall asleep while ridding and their heads fall forward…
I just ordered this and I’m so torn between the money for the chariot for jogging. Help! I feel like I’m getting pulled into the great marketing. How come there aren’t many videos about the coaster ?
Burley Encore X. The Encore's handlebar swivels so you can set it at the exact point that is most comfortable for you. Also, it has bench style seats, while the Coaster XT has hammock. Bench seats are more comfortable for the kids, and make it easier to get them buckled up.
If you don’t need a stroller, then save money and just get a trailer. However, you should also look at the Burley Bee, which we prefer over the Thule cadence.
Thank you very much! Great video! Wonderful! Exactly what I was looking for. Ps Do you have any idea how tall the girl in the stroller is? Or how old? I think it holds up to 45kg right? Having a 2yo at home and wondering if it's too late, too large of an investment at this point :)
This video was shot last May, so she would have been 2.5 years old. She's very tall for her age. The Coaster XT is on the shorter side for trailers, so if you do want to ride with your daughter until she is 4 or 5, you should look at Burley's trailer like this, the Honey Bee. www.twowheelingtots.com/burley-honey-bee-review/
@@Twowheelingtotsbikes Thank you very much! I'll look into it. Yeah the leg space got me a bit worried. Hearing she is 2.5 confirmed my worries. But maybe as a backup on top of her own bike it would do. Thank you again for your help!
The Coaster XT isn't ideal for prolong periods of use in the rain. The rain cover help keep you little one dry if you run into some brief or unexpected rain showers, but if you plan on using it in the rain extensively, the Thule Cheetah (or Lite, Cross) with the add-on rain cover would be a much better option.
Has the Cheetah XT been discontinued? We'd love to find something "in between" the Coaster XT and the Chariot Lite. Love the attachment and ventilation on Coaster XT, but worried that the the flimsy floor, difficulty of folding, and hammock seats on this are deal breakers...
The Cheetah XT has been discontinued. I would take a look at the Qeridoo Sportrex or Buley Encore X. www.twowheelingtots.com/qeridoo-sportrex-bike-trailer-review/
It will depend on the design of the rear axle of your bike if the hitch coupler can fit on it. Also, remember that no bike trailer is safety rated to go over 15 mph so you will need to monitor that carefully on an electric bike.

Yep, we definitely prefer trailers that can recline, but they are quite a bit more expensive!

What would you recommend for taller kids (Coaster XT or Burley Honey Bee)? Thanks!
The Honey Bee is taller.
@@Twowheelingtotsbikes Awesome. Thanks.
Between this and the Burley Honey Bee for the same price, go for the Burley?
Yes. I've used them both and the Honey Bee is easier to fold, and I prefer its front stroller wheel that simply folds up or down.
Would you prefer this or the burley encore x to be used as an everyday stroller and biking trailer?

If I were to buy a Thule, which one would you recommend: Cadence or Coaster XT?
The Coaster XT converts to a stroller. Do you want to use your trailer as a stroller as well?
@@Twowheelingtotsbikes No stroller option. Just basic trailer.

Plz guide burley bee or thule cadence which one i should buy? As per quality and features?
My personal preference is the Honey Bee over the Coaster XT. Overall I just found it easier to use.
@@Twowheelingtotsbikes thanks 🙏🏾
You’re welcome!
Can you keep outside for a longer period in a rainy cold climate?
The Coaster XT isn't ideal for prolong periods of use in the rain. The rain cover help keep you little one dry if you run into some brief or unexpected rain showers, but if you plan on using it in the rain extensively, the Thule Cheetah (or Lite, Cross) with the add-on rain cover would be a much better option.
@@Twowheelingtotsbikes Thanks for this extensive explanation.
@@Twowheelingtotsbikessomehow the rain got in the cheetah and the front of feet was a bit wet....

Is it ok with electric bike ?
It will depend on the design of the rear axle of your bike if the hitch coupler can fit on it. Also, remember that no bike trailer is safety rated to go over 15 mph so you will need to monitor that carefully on an electric bike.
How can I fold I?
