Question 1

Do I also need to buy the Seatpost Kit and the Tow Bar Receiver Kit? or they are all included?

Accepted Answer

The package I bought included all I needed to set up. If you want to take turns towing with another adult you will need the extra kit. It is not convenient at all to change these from bike to bike. Once you get them on you will not want to take the off since you need to put them on very tight.

Question 2

can it be used when child is not on the bike? because i want to use it to pick up my boy from school.

Accepted Answer

Sure thing! It just drags the bike behind you. I love this thing!

Question 3

Has anyone used this to tow from an adult "fatbike" (4" wide back tire) ? Would it rub when not towing?

Accepted Answer

It will not rub and you won't have any troubles.  I have mine on a 29" (740mm dia.) and there is plenty of clearance for your 26x4 (750 mm).  Congratulations you are about to become the envy of every parent on the trail!!

Question 4

is it easy to pack? I wanted to take on holiday so want to know if it folds up or anything

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure I agree with the "easy to assemble" claims of the others, as I found the initial assembly instructions to be very difficult to understand, but I do agree that it's quite portable.  It unhitches from the kid's bike, retracts, and clips to the wheel fork of the parent bike.  You can also take the bar part completely off with a quick-release from the parent bike, leaving the attachments on both of the other bikes.
