Can you tow an empty child's bike with this, or is it too unstable when unoccupied?

It will be fine, not unstable. The only thing I did not feel safe doing was going fast on down slopes due to the increased length versus a regular bike trailer. Else it is awesome! Keep your tools handy for the first couple of times you go riding, you will find yourself having to make some adjustments

as long as you don't overload it as it is quite big and gets heavy fast. but depending on your personal strength it does come off the bike easy. (assuming its empty or in weight range)

problematic. While the rack adjusts, a child's bike would likely be too small.

I have found it very easy to load and unload. I have 2 bikes that fit nicely. I found that with a couple of extra jacks and some beefing up of the ramps it becomes very stable and stress free. Although that size of bike would take up the whole trailer and not have room for anything else.

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.

Unless the bike is ultra heavy it's no problem hanging it this way. The weight is actually distributed between the front wheel and to a lesser degree rear wheel from a "vector" stand pt.

Not at all. My 3 year old loads it with toys and "treasures" she finds on her bike rides and there are no issues with balance.

My one year old twins have never tried to pick this up, so I can't say for certain, but I doubt that your child could pick it up. Aside from being heavy for a child to pick up, it is also large. It is quite stable, so I haven't ever worried about them pulling it over.

I usually take my son to school in the car and when I go home for lunch, I ride the bike and trailer (empty, of course) back to work. I separate the WeeHoo from my bike and store both parts in my office (it takes up room, but I cleared out a file cabinet to have the space). At the end of my workday, I reassemble the bike and WeeHoo and ride to my son's school to pick him up for the ride home. As the others said, it is a bit easier to pull with no kiddo. I have had one tiny problem, though. I ride on a quarter-mile stretch of cobblestone street (very bumpy) and with no kid weighing down the WeeHoo, the silver harness pulls up off of the black seat stem adapter flange. This causes the WeeHoo to rock back and forth, throwing my balance a bit. It poses no safety hazard, because it's all part of the hitch itself--the WeeHoo couldn't become detached. In the past, I pulled over, slid the harness back onto the flange, and went along my merry way. I considered gluing the harness and flange together, but that stops the WeeHoo from pivoting. There may be a clamp that you could place on the seat stem right above the harness and flange, but I eventually solved the problem by moving my flashing brake light down against the hitch when I'm riding without my son. On the same stretch of cobblestone street, I have also lost his snacks out of the kid cup-holders, so I now put all snacks and valuables in the panniers or the mesh pouch on the back :-)

Well. It's too heavy for that. It's I think But I recommend. need a tow hitch bike rack.

This bike has a large seat and a strong frame, so I agree with the comment of medic mike. 300 pounds (a person on the seat and cargo in the back) is not enough to "break" this bike. If you want to put more weight in the basket, I'd suggest that you contact the manufacturer for information (just to be on the safe side). Adding a bike trailer would be more suitable for any additional (cargo) that would add total weight (person and cargo) over 300 pounds.

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.

no.. I don't think it could be strong enough.. It works just fine with a light bicycle.

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.

Sorry I no longer have my instructions. My son is just over 40 pounds and he rides it easily with what appears to be no strain on the bike itself. Since the concept requires them to use their feet to push and not pedal there is constant weight shift from ground to bike to consider as well. Id tend to agree with the 100 pound comment from Rick above.

I have been able to do it, but you have the full weight of the bikes to worry about. If you are strong, you won't have much trouble.

I've been able to put up an adult bike and a child's bike on the rack. It's held them for several days. I believe there is a weight limit but I no longer have the box so I don't know what it is.
