- A guided tour of the 2012 Honda CR-VThe Honda CR-V's popularity is not in question. Consistently one of the best-selling (if not THE best-selling) compact SUVs year in and year out, the CR-V has also been a steady reviewer favorite. At the end of 2011, the latest iteration of this model landed in showrooms. We spent some time with it ourselves, and can say without hesitation that the CR-V […]
- Why you shouldn't diet like a celebrityWhile researching our report on the best weight-loss programs, we learned that the key to keeping weight off is making sustainable, long-term changes. If you don't address -- and adjust -- the habits that put the weight on in the first place, it'll just come right back. Still, it's hard to resist the lure of celebrity diets, plans that promise […]

- When it comes to tech, it's cool to be practicalCovering consumer electronics means wading through a lot of "ooh, shiny!" devices and "game-changing" innovations, many of which quickly fall by the wayside, replaced by something shinier and cooloer. That's why it's nice to see that some companies are looking to harness technology in a more meaningful way, thinking less about t […]
- House plants you can't killEven with the pleasantly warm weather this week in New York City (thanks global warming), it's hard not to long for a little green right about now. With my notoriously black thumb, I typically shy away from growing houseplants and instead anxiously await the sprouting of my neighbors spring bulbs. Not this year.

- Phish of the day: Beware tax-season email scamsIf you've noticed an uptick of spam in your junk mail folder lately, you're not alone. Scammers go into overtime around the holidays and into tax season, aiming to trick you into forking over personal information. These email sneak-attacks are called "phishing" and it's nothing new. What is new this year is that a lot of the bogus em […]
- A new and (p)interesting way to shop onlineJust a year ago when I was moving into my first apartment, my cousin sent me an invite to a site she thought could help me shop for my new digs: Pinterest. I will admit: I played around with it, and I just didn't get it; I was overwhelmed by images and I found the interface cluttered. She said I was missing out on something great, and now I'm eati […]

Nail salon and barbershop patrons may be at risk for hepatitis infection if the tools commonly used -- such as nail files, nail […]
- Are you buying a big-screen TV for the big game?Over the years, the Super Bowl has grown from just being a game for all the marbles at the end of the NFL season to a near-universal day of celebration and parties that even non-fans can enjoy. Sure there's the spectacle of the game itself, but watching all of those "can you top this" commercials has grown into its own national pastime. And no […]
- Hands-on with four good, cheap new carsI get to drive a lot of different cars throughout the year, and they run the gamut from Powerball-winner hardware to basic, affordable transportation. Sure, the glitzy stuff is a lot of fun, but some of the best new cars I've had the opportunity to try are also among the least expensive. This is good news if you want to buy a new car but have a modest […]
- Child seat belt safety: When to transition out of a boosterParents might breathe a sigh of relief when their children no longer need a bulky child car seat or booster, but they shouldn't exhale just yet.

- Inspired vegetarian recipes to chase away the winter bluesIn the dead of winter, with greenmarkets either closed or offering very limited selections of produce, it's all too easy to think that healthy, meat-free meals are out of reach.

- Should Google's new privacy policy worry you?"Don't be evil." Google's unofficial mantra sounds pretty noble, right?

- Can you trust online reviews?The issue of fake user reviews is nothing new. We blogged about it back in 2009 after a Wall Street Journal article exposed the practice by certain companies of having employees post favorable write ups to user-review sites, such as Amazon.com. Now, The New York Times has shed some light on something new, yet still the same: offering real customers financial […]
- DOT tries to put the "fair" in airfare pricingEarlier this week I booked a flight from New York to Miami. Even though JetBlue only flies to the nearby Fort Lauderdale, I couldn't pass up the advertisement in an e-mail sent to me: Book Today, $89 each way from JFK. When I went online to look up fares, I did not see that fantastic rate; instead the fares were through the roof with the flights I want […]

Review by Bull for Aosom 2in1 Double Baby Bicycle Bike Trailer and Stroller
Rating:
I recently purchased this bike trailer after researching several of the other mid-range 2-in-1 Double bike trailers. This one has all the features of the others and more, but does have a few short-comings.
PROS:
1. It’s one of the roomier models for two children
2. It has a full front wheel attachment for Stroller/Jogger mode and has an included hand brake
3. It has two adjustable 5-point harnesses that work as intended
4. It has a nicely cushioned seat, and extra protection under the footbed to reduce tears
5. It has 20″ outrigger style wheels that roll smoothly and easily
6. You can buy additonal couplers for multiple bikes
7. The protective covers attach securely with Velcro in multiple places and it has an ample rear storage area
8. The bike tow bar tucks neatly under the trailer when in Jogger mode
9. The Jogger bar can remain attached with wheel in storage area if preferred
10. It is priced lower than comparable brands/models
11. It is well-made, uses good hardware and materials and looks great
CONS:
1. In Jogger mode with two children inside it can tip backwards if not attended due to center of gravity being directly over axle and backrest angle
2. The coupler will not fit as intended on bikes with quick-release wheels. The coupler is designed to fit rear axles that are held on by screw nuts. (Note: I was able to mount it another way via disc brake mounting holes at left rear frame arm)
3. The seat is directly over the axle and although it is nicely padded it causes the passenger(s) to be leaned forward a bit
4. The backrest forces the passenger(s) head forward when wearing a helmet which may be uncomfortable on long rides
5. The flag that comes with it is wimpy and flimsy, but is an easy upgrade
All in all I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. Mainly for the fact that it won’t attach to all bike frames easily and can tip in Jogger mode if unattended with passengers (which i don’t recommend anyway). Compared to the competition (which also have similar drawbacks) the Aosom 2-in-1 Double Bike Trailer is well worth the price, and has some great features and excellent build quality.

The cargo space in the back is very nice, plus there are small pockets on the inside for the kids to hold a book or something. I think it’s sturdy constuction and I feel that they’ll be safe in it. I’ve only used it once as a stoller (I don’t go running), but I thought it was just fine. It’s pretty easy to switch from bike trailer to jogging stoller. I spent so much time researching trailers and I’m really glad we settled on this one – it’s been great!

I’m not an experienced biker, so I didn’t want to spend a fortune on a bike trailer, but I didn’t want to waste money on a low-end model either. This one works perfectly for us. I bike for exercise and wanted to be able to take my two boys (ages 4 and 2) with me. They love it! They’re small enough that they don’t need a ton of room – my 4 year old tells me that he’s very comfortable

After a lot of research, I’ve very glad we bought this bike trailer. I’ve used a couple different kinds of trailers and this is by far the best. It has sturdy wheels…no plastic, clear windows for my daughter to see out of, a great storage space…and best of all it converts to a stroller really easily. I can’t believe we got such a nice trailer/stroller for only $150. Models that have similar features and stability are closer to 300 to 500 dollars. It really is a must buy!

Review by R. M. Williamson for Aosom 2in1 Double Baby Bicycle Bike Trailer and Stroller

Trailer seems well constructed and was fairly easy to assemble. The assembly instructions could have been more helpful. I read in a previous review that there had been a problem with a tire going flat soon after first use. I experienced the same issue. It appears the plastic protection tape inside the rim was not positioned correctly to prevent the spoke nut from rubbing a hole in the inner tube… I was able to pick up a new inner tube at Kmart for about $6. I removed the tire and tube from both the 20″ wheels and wrapped the inner part of the rim with electrician’s tape. I’ve not experienced any further problems since. If you decide to purchase one, you might want to do the same before inflating the tires during assembly… Otherwise, my granddaughter loves the new ride…

So earlier review turned out to spot on…especially with regard to the problems with the tires going flat immedietely upon first inflation…knowing this i was able to take the tires off and wrap over the liner a few times with electical tape…otherwise the rim liner would not have protected the tires from punctures from the back of the spokes. It took an extra 30 minutes work to put together because of this. Also earlier reviews said the assembly instructions were very poor. This is true….but if you have the slightest bit of handiness you can figure the snap together parts of it very easily. The brakes are a bit trickier…but for this part the instructions were sufficient. It helps if you’ve ever changed your own bike tire or set a brake line. If those two jobs scare you..then don’t buy this product. If you can get past that though the bike works wonderfully. It’s comfortable for my three year old and one year old to ride together. It rides so smooth it’s hardly noticeable behind the bike. I love it and they love it…and it works great as a stroller much better even than regular strollers. One really really strange observation however….one of the large tires was marked (correctly) max. 35 psi and the other same size but opposite side tire was marked (incorrectly) max 300 psi..yes thats right i said 300 psi. I’m just glad i had a stitch of common sense about bicycles before i bought this product. Thanks to the earlier reviews i have an overall good experience…buy stay away if you can’t pull and replace a bike tire. Otherwise enjoy!
