is the trailer very heavy when attached to the bike?

No. Its not really the noticeable. When kids are in it, you will get a good workout, lol

It is not too bad as it depends on how many children and the grade of the incline. We have two kids = about 60 or so pounds + around 30 pound trailer = close to 90 to 100 pounds.

I believe it's there to be attached to the bike. Just in case the bike hitch fails the webbing strap will keep the trailer attached to the bike until you get the chance to pullover to fix the hitch.

Yes it is a very smooth bike and run! Such a great trailer! I have used it so much!

I believe so... I defer to the other answers on the specifics, but can say that when the bike tips or falls, the trailer stays sturdy and upright... We've had no problems with it even with one small kid instead of two.

The connection is by a coiled spring which can easily rotate in the case the bike falls.It happened to me a few times that my kids set in the trailer while I wasn't holding the bike, and due to their movements in the trailer the bike fell. The trailer didn't move at all, and the only damage was to the bike's handle bar.

I checked with the manufacturer and this is what they wrote back: "There is no security locking feature that comes with the trailer. I think you could unhook the trailer and fasten the trailer frame to the bike frame with a bike surety chain. In this case the trailer would be sitting next to the bike, not behind it "

It is. The lighter the bike the less you feel it. Heavier the bike the more it shakes

There is a quick release that is mounted to the bike. It is quite easy to remove and replace the trailer. The hardest part is keeping your kid from running in to traffic while you do it.

There is an attachment that hooks on the bike frame. The trailer snaps on and off the attachment as needed. Fairly simple to use once you put the attachment on the bike, although I sometimes have a little trouble with getting the locking pin to fasten. To install the attachment, just undo one of the side bolts that hold on the back tire and put the attachment on with this.

Not easily. You could use a cable and loop it around the frame of the bike and the trailer hitch, maybe?

Have not used it to carry dog. Size and weight rating should easy hold the groceries and dog. My thoughts are in line with Jay Tee. One nice thing about the trailer over having cargo mounted on bike at seat hight luggage rack, is the center of gravity is much lower and the extra weight does not affect the balance issues of quick maneuvers as much as if it was strapped to the higher seat hight luggage rack. Still have to be careful.

Hi Lisa, there is a black hitch on the end of the bar which you remove and bolt to the rear axle of your bike.Then you just connect the tow bar when you want to use the trailer.

Nope. The hitch has bars pinned to it. They run out to the contact points installed on the trailer. The bars are not attached, just slide in the bracket. Works great. Noisy until broken in after use.

For me, i have to take it to the second floor everyday, so its a little heavy for me but not too much. I hope this will help you. For overall this bike is very good. I like it.
