Looking for a double bicycle trailer (2 kids). I would greatly appreciate any suggestion on brands and where there might be some good deals in the GTA.

Children are 36 and 26 lbs
Mostly will be used on bicycle trails around GTA (flat terrain)

Thanks in advance

It depends on what you want to spend. I originally bought a Bell from Costco (was $115 - I believe they still have them for around $140 now) which fell apart (literally - the wheel fell off -when the kids were in it) Took it back to Costco without a problem though. After that we decided to buy a better quality one and got a Chariot Cougar 2 - EXCELLENT quality but it is $$$ (for the chassis and a bike attachment you are looking at over $600)

You could also check out Burley brand if you want a good bike trailer. If you are looking for something cheaper you could go with a Little Tykes (which I believe are sold at Walmart and Toys R Us) but I can't speak for how good they are personally.

I'm still debating what to go with.. Which is strange considering I have 2 in my garage! I have the Bell from Costco, and the Little Tikes. I am not sure which I like better yet. The Bell is super compact, but it doesn't seem too smooth when out riding, and the little tikes is sturdy as an ox with a full plastic base (safe for kiddos) but it's pretty heavy. So if you are just looking for leisure riding, I would think the Little Tikes is a good choice. Just not to go 40km or anything.
