Pros Ample storage space, best hitch connection, most versatilePassenger comfort, totally weather-proof, easy to useWaterproof, simplicity of use, lots of add-onsLightweight, best hitch design, water-resistant, excellent valueComfortable seats, large passenger space, adjustable interior, great safety features
Cons Not waterproof, awkward suspension adjustment, minor component durabilityLack of storage space, expensiveExpensive, not adjustable, little storageNo passenger padding, no bottom reinforcement, lacks versatilityExtremely heavy, large and bulky to store, not water-tight
Bottom Line This is an all-around excellent trailer with standout safety features and unmatched versatility, making it a clear pick for our Editors' Choice awardGreat for athletes, this model is impressively durable and designed to keep passengers comfortable during long rides in tough conditionsThis model is a pared down version of the Chariot Cross; it has great safety features and is one of the easiest trailers to set up and towThis nimble trailer is durable and the easiest to tow at less than half the price of many high-end trailersThis contender offers a smooth, roomy ride for passengers, but bikers will struggle to pull this heavy trailer uphill
