I would not buy more
Actually a very good product with a very big weak point.
The brake knobs on the wheels break off at the slightest load. So be careful with heavily loaded trailer. If the brake is locked and the trailer is moving, the knobs break off.
Unfortunately there is no warranty on this from the manufacturer, although this is clearly a faulty design.
A very big praise at this point to Digitec / Galaxy have tried everything at the manufacturer to make a warranty case out of it. The manufacturer has certainly not shown unfortunately accommodating. Very sad!!!Pro
- Price
- Weight
Contra
- Brakes, brake knobs break off.
Good product, for those looking for a bike trailer...
Good product, for those who are looking for a bike trailer with stroller function. No frills but simply the two functions that we need. Price-performance ratio is right. Attach to the bike funkioniert perfectly and the function as a stroller also (conversion between the two functions is very simple and done in a few simple steps. Quality top, easy assembly. Delivery from Galaxus absolutely super - ordered today, delivered tomorrow.
Pro
- lighter than the more expensive models
- easy assembly
- very stable
Contra
- not spring loaded
Trailer with good price-performance ratio
Bike trailer that is well suited for short distances and is absolutely fine for the price.
Pro
- Price-performance ratio
- Colour
- storage space behind seat
Contra
- thin floor (only fabric, no reinforcement)
- no padding of the backrest
What a disappointment! 5 defects/broken trailer parts in less than a month!
Our disappointment is as great as the enthusiasm we had the first days.
Indeed, we liked the concept very much and the handling and lightness of the trailer had seduced us.
For the safety of our children we had chosen a well-known brand, Thule, even if it meant paying double or triple the price of the cheapest models available on the internet.
However, after less than a month of use (two children aged 3 years and 9 months, i.e. 24kg in total and much less than the maximum 45kg recommended by the manufacturer), we have already noticed 5 defects/weaknesses, and not the least of which are related to safety:
- A wobbly right wheel that is not very reassuring
- Rubber safety clamp to block the trailer/bike connection cracked
- Brake bar with protective paintwork that is fraying and visible rust spots
- Plastic notches of the brake system on wheel bent
- Front wheel of the stroller mode made of soft rubber material that is frayed and cracked all over
So when you read on the Thule website: "The Thule Coaster XT is a robust, safe and comfortable bike trailer" you must not have the same notion of the word robust. And what would it be like if you had two 20kg children?
In short, enough is enough, for fear of seeing a wheel come off in full use, we stop the costs and ask for a warranty return, hoping that Thule will keep their word and make up for it with their after sales service.
So either we are really unlucky and all the defects come from manufacturing errors, or this model is really fragile and not at all robust contrary to what the manufacturer suggests.Pro
- Lightweight
- Handy
Contra
- Dangerous (Safety features defects)
- Fragile
- Corrosive material (wheel lock system)
Great for everyday use
Fits perfectly for two children and the daily shopping has in the back compartment also super place.
Perfect for great family bike rides.
Great quality (sturdy), our son loves to ride his bike with us, very comfortable and light.
Pro
- easy to assemble and disassemble
- perfect size (not too big or too small)
- very practical and large rear basket.
