I there a swivel where the trailer attaches to bike so if you we're to fall the trailer doesn't go over also?

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.

That is correct- my bike fell over as I was strapping my grandsons into the trailer and the trailer never moved an inch.

there is no swivel but its a spring type device like all other better trailers. i never fall yet but you can lay down your bike on the ground without tipping a trailer. I just wish this company have a model with shocks.

Yes the wind has knocked my bike over while I wasn't on it and the trailer stays put. It is very sturdy.

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.

From experience, I can tell you that when the bike tips over, the trailer stays upright. There is a sort of spring as part of the connector that allows for some bending and twisting.

Never trailer with the wheel down! And just the wheel pivots. But never transport with wheel down while towing

It suppose to according to the owner manual. It has never fell over, so I don't know sure.

It does not swivel, which I like. It's not that hard to push down or pull back to lift the front when you want to make a greater turn. I bought this because the front wheel does NOT swivel. Attaching it to my bike, however, has been a nightmare. I may be returning this.

No it will NOT stabilize the bike. The hitch mechanism is designed to bend and twist in all directions to avoid restricting movement of the bike. If anything this would hinder learning to ride. Learn to ride first

Yes and No &gt; the stand only supports the front or back wheel and it will keep the bike erect if there is no "adventurous" pushes as the back end of the bike or front wheel will rotate and tip it on it's side. My 5 year old granddaughter would inadvertently push it over by playing with the handlebars or "crashing" into it while running helter skelter oblivious to any obstacles in her path. I put my bike in the garage when my granddaughter visits as she always tries to ride it or play with it and yes it did fall on her during one of her escapades prompting the garage storage when she visits.

You have the option to let the front wheel swivel or not. There is a latch on the front wheel to keep it stationary or to let it pivot for easy maneuverability.

My Mt. bike weighs 35 lbs. and it works fine. The only time it acts like it might tip over is when a side ways load is put on it, like when I am washing it of turning a wrench hard. But I have never had it fall over.

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.

No there is nothing to hold it in place, but I have no problems with it. If you tilt the front in of the bike down slightly the gravity will help keep the front end straight. Hope this helps

No. it does not stand this way. I will fall over because there is no way to secure it in that position.

Put it on the floor, stand on it and you can make it swivel. The bearings will loosen up.

Yes. There is a spring the allows the joint to hinge in any direction and the trailer stays upright even with the bike laid down on it's side.

I didn't get a swivel. I would ask the manufacturer if it's optional. CDM Gear email: sales@cdmgear.com

What you see is solid. It swivels for me because it mounts to my trailer third wheel by the hitch which that part swivels. Otherwise no.

No. We purchased it because the reviews said it was difficult to tip over. Am very pleased with this trike.

The bike has fallen over when my son gets in and out of the trailer, but the trailer doesn't move when that happens.
