User questions & answers

Question:	Did you choose Bell shell or cocoon? Why
Answer:	There is no solution that comes with the Tube Cleaning System. You use your standard solution method of cleaning.
Question:	Does it come with the rack
Answer:	I don't know the difference between thin or thick tubing, but the end caps fit into the rubber ends of the hose to keep the cleaning solution in. The caps are not real snug, but they work fine with my hose. I have a REMstar Plus M Series CPAP machine and the hose/tubing part number is 622038 per the 2010 Philips Respironics Catalog that I checked online. The system is pretty flimsy, but it works for me. I hope this helps you. Good Luck!
Question:	Do any of these seats recline
Answer:	Yes I wash everything. It rinses really well. Just put a few drops in each items swish around then put under faucet and rinse. Easy to do and give a very clean scent.
Question:	Will this work on a beach cruiser
Answer:	I mix with warm water and submerge mask and hoses in the water. I usually shower while they're soaking, then swish them in the water and rinse thoroughly, then hang them in shower stall to dry. (Make sure you do not wash filter piece from end of hose. Mine is sort of bell shaped.)

Front Mount Child Carriers

Front-Mounted carriers are ideal for a more interactive ride (great when riding with younger kids). And with the child’s weight in the center of the bike, this creates a more balanced ride.

Mini Shell

The Mini Shell offers a well ventilated, high back, wrap-around design, and the grab bar offers further protection. The shock absorbing, weather resistant pad provides comfort for longer rides.

Easy Install

The mount snaps onto the bike frame. The suspension rack snaps into the carrier. Then simply click the suspension rack into the mount and you’re ready to roll! Complete instructions included.

Quick On/Off Bike

The unique mounting system of the Mini Shell means the mount stays on the bike, but the carrier is easily installed or removed with a quick-release latch system.

Rear Mount Child Carriers

Rear-Mounted carriers are better for slightly larger children. Since they are mounted on the back of the bike, some riders find it easier to pedal.

Bell Shell

The Bell Shell installs quickly and easily with a quick release latch. The rear back is ventilated to keep them cool and the 3-point harness system ensures a secure ride. The foot beds on this bike child carrier are adjustable to grow with your kid.

Cocoon

Designed for safety, the high back is supportive and offers additional protection for its occupant; the five-point harness safely secures the child while riding. Additionally, it's equipped with a molded spoke guard that protects your child from the spinning rear bike tire.

Trailer Child Transport

Trailers are designed to fit up to 2 children and are great for larger loads. Made of all steel construction, with a five point harness, trailers will keep your child protected and comfortable. Each trailer folds down for easy storage.

Smooth Sailer Trailer

The two passenger Smooth Sailer Trailer is great for larger loads. You can use it as a child carrier OR a stroller. And it folds for easy storage.

Wallaby Bike Trailer

The Wallaby fits most standard sizes and models of bikes, and offers easy, fast and secure installation.

Answer:	No, fixed.
Question:	Is a safety flag included
Answer:	Does not work on MY beach cruiser
Question:	I was given one of these. Are there instructions available for setting it up? If so where can I get them
Answer:	I don't know what an air fit 10 is, but I have a Resmed machine and it works fine for me.
Question:	can i use this for my dog
Answer:	You only hang the tube in that position for 30 minutes to let the soapy water do its cleaning thing. Then you rinse out the tube and hang it the other direction over the curve just under the hanger. It dries in that position.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this helmet carry cpsc and/or astm certified impact resistance
Answer:	The Thule chariot cx 1 has an infant sling. Unfortunately, they are very expansive and rare in the US, meaning that getting them at a discount or used does not happen often. It all depends where you ride it, how you ride it and what quality all of the equipment is. Pushing a stroller or jogging with one is not different. So, yes, there is equipment out there that allows you to put an infant in a trailer that is safe but it costs over $1000. If you are into it though that system converts into a stroller, a skiing trailer and so on.
Question:	Will this fit for a 3 year old
Answer:	The two tires on the side of the trailer are are tires, the tire that you install to use as a stroller is plastic and not air filled.
Question:	will this fit a 4.5 year old with a 19" or 48.26cm head circumference
Answer:	I have this trailer and was riding with a 3 yr old and 15 month old. I had an accident and did a "superman" over the front of my bike, flipping my bike, going about 15 mph. They wore no helmets. The trailer tipped to one side. While both were scared, neither one was hurt. If I were on a busier road, I would helmet them but the trailer makes it hard for the seat to be comfortable because it pushes their head forward where the helmet rests against the back of the seat. Use best judgement- the "cage" is metal and can endure some damage but then again, little brains don't like to be shaken.
Question:	Could you please tell me the measurement of your child's head circumference and whether this helmet fit or not? thanks
Answer:	Absolutely NOT! Car seats are designed to be used in a CAR! The bike trailer is not as stable as the back seat of your car and hence the ride for the infant will be much more bumpy. The infant does not have the neck strength to withstand a pothole or big bump. And while you might think you will be careful not to ride over any potholes, etc. the risk is too great! You'll need to be watching traffic, and things like the the trailer's clearance when riding along a street with parked cars or pedestrians on a boardwalk. With that many things to keep in mind you are taking an unnecessary chance with your child's health and well being. And finally, the manufacturer says this trailer is NOT for children under 12 months old, AND in addition to being 12 months old, they need to be able to hold their own head up, and sit up on their own. Please do not take the risk.

• Easy, fast and secure installation
• Holds 2 kids, up to 100 lbs weight capacity, safety flag and rear reflector included
• 5-Point harness system
• Folds flat to store
• Quick-release removal from bike, 16 inch quick-release steel wheels

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the minimum age requirement
Answer:	I chose cocoon because of the back pad. Also, I don’t recall seeing the bell shell one. Doesn’t appeal to me either way. Good seat btw.
Question:	Can it be used with a large 28 in h mountain bike
Answer:	No. I would spend a little more and get a better sear.
Question:	Can you remove the metal piece from the front if you want to use it as a just a stroller
Answer:	No, fixed.
Question:	questions...If the bike falls over, would the trailer remain upright? Also, no hitch is needed, correct
Answer:	Yes it does. Fits perfect on a women’s cruiser. Not sure about a men’s bike.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do I getI replacement tire tray holders mine broke
Answer:	I don't know because I bought it for someone else.
Question:	The site states bikes up to 29 inch wheels will fit yet my beach cruisers with 27 inch wheels will not fit. What gives
Answer:	My bikes are 26" and it connect without an issue. The connector has a spring connected to it, that allows up/down flexibility if the bike is not exactly the same height as the trailer.
Question:	Does the Right up 350 fold up
Answer:	Well, the front piece is for the stroller. But you don't have to remove it, just take off the wheel. And snap the piece under the trailer.
Question:	Are there any issues with frame rubbing on the right up 350? i have pretty expensive full sus mtb's and like this rack, but i'm worried it'll rub
Answer:	Everything comes with the trailer that you need to connect it to your bike. It is very easy to install, I think it took me 5 minutes. If the bike does happen to fall over, the trailer will stay upright. We have gone on May rides with this trailer, it is very easy to pull and comfortable for my little ones!

Question:	How many come in a box
Answer:	I’d go with the lowest weight limit that has been found- I would think 40 would be plenty for this thing. I love it but I wouldn’t put too much weight in it. Great for our 1 year old, gonna try our 2 year old should be fine this year, if it last for the 3 year old Summer, it was way more than worth it!

Product features

Tube Size

First and foremost, you want to make sure the tube fits your tire. To determine the size you need to check the side wall markings on your tire where you’ll see two numbers separated by an 'X'. The first number refers to the tire’s diameter. The second number refers to the tires width. Select the tube that has the exact same diameter as your tire. Your tires width should fall into the range of widths listed on the tube packaging.

Valve Type

Standard (also called Schrader) valves are the most common valve type for bicycles. This short, sturdy valve is also used on car tires and other inflatables.

Presta valves are typically found on performance road and mountain bikes. They have built-in valve locks which you twist to open before inflating.

An easy way to remember is: 'S' is for Standard (Schrader, Short, Sturdy) and 'P' is for Presta (Performance, Premium).

All inflatable tubes are subject to deflation from mis-installation and certain hazards.

Flat Protection

Finally you’ll need to choose whether to go with a standard or self sealing tube. Standard tubes are fine for most riding conditions. Self sealing tubes have liquid sealant inside that provides an extra layer of flat protection by sealing holes up to 1/8 of an inch instantly while you ride. It doesn’t get much easier than that!

User questions & answers

Question:	Q: How tall is the valve? (the height from the tube to the end of the valve
Answer:	I have not heard of any replacements.
Question:	Does this work for 16x2.0 bike tire
Answer:	I have 27” as well and they fit fine. You may need to adjust the location of the wheel cradles—just move them further out so the wheels rest comfortably in them.
Question:	I have an old schwinn seabreeze and the tire currently on it is 16 x 1 3/8 x 1 1/4 nylon, will the 16 x 1.75-2.25 fit on it
Answer:	Yes it does. The center folds down in either direction and the platform folds up.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can the 250 tilt away from the vehicle with the bikes on the rack to allow access to the back of an SUV
Answer:	Mine fall down to but its never really been a problem I've been able to use the tire to lift the hook back up
Question:	Does this come with a hitch pin
Answer:	I can't address this directly since I;ve got 700x35 tires -- but I got the "hybrid" CLUG which is rated for 33-42mm tires so I'm also at the lower end of the range. There's a no wobble, as the thing expands to accept the tire and then closes around it. But there's a bit of slop in how the rest of the bike sits on the ground. I've had it for more than six months now and have never had a problem mounting the bike.
Question:	I purchased the right up 250. it isn’t a good fit into my 2” hitch. it’s extremely lose and wobbles. is there a part/ insert i can get
Answer:	The instructions say not to use it in drywall... only wooden stud, brick, or concrete. There's not much force on it when the bike is hanging there, but if you have thick tires, it seems like it puts a lot of force on the screws when pulling the bike out of the clip.
Question:	is there a lock accessory to lock the rack to the 2" receiver? also, a sleeve to make the rack more secure in the receiver
Answer:	I do not recall which size drill bit I used be cause I simply used a bit smaller in diameter than the screw. This method was sufficient for me to screw it into a wall. The main concern is what kind of wall or surface you plan to screw into.
