I've had this trailer for over a year and I must say I am very happy with it. As a trailer is can accommodate my two sons (6 years and 3 years) although it is a little squashed. I've read concerns about having only one child in there, but its pretty easy to put the child in the middle.
I would agree with a comment I read that is not the most comfortable ride for the child, especially if there are two in there, but generally if you are within the recommended speed (10kph I think) its fine.
There was one slight problem in that the children would from time to time hid their heads off the two internal bars as the trailer went from side to side while I was turning. However, I've fixed this by putting some pipe lagging over the bars.
It has a large rear pocket which is very useful. I take my son to school and we put his school bag in there. There are cup holders on the inside and it can be converted into a double buggy too (although the lack of break is...

What a shame ! We looked carefully at the different types of trailers. This one looked really good, nice design, reasonable price etc.
But the first one arrived on a Saturday morning and within an hour of use the seat stitching under the rear window had come away. This made the seat useless and so I returned it. We thought it must be a one off problem so we ordered another.
That arrived on the Tuesday. My two year old son now, already thrilled with his "bike car"!
Within a couple of hours the seat came away in exactly the same place under the rear net window !
How depressing ! My son is not over weight, probably about 15 kilos ! The Bumper duo is supposed to be able to carry up to 45 kilos, so it is clearly a design fault or perhaps just poor manufacturing.
This time I've asked for a refund and we'll have to find something else which is better made. This will probably mean spending quite a lot more !
It's a huge pity because my son loves...

I spent many days searching all possible trailers. There are cheaper ones on some auction sites but I believe you get what you pay for and the Bumper Duo is only £20 more.
I am an engineer and look closely at the design and assembly, and the materials and fixings used. The Bumper is Both sturdy and robust. I have read complaints about stiching at the seat and wheels that seem to be a bit loose. I have no such problems; the stiching is very sound and although there is a little play on the wheels, this is not uncommon for this type of arrangement and remember this is a trailer (i.e. being dragged behind a bike, there is no power to the wheels) and presents no mechanical problem to me.
I also looked closely at the connection systems from bike to trailer. The Bumper is very simple and mechanically very sound. I did not won't a trailer which uses clamps to the bike frame, these are inherently weak and more likely to fail (have read reviews of clamps failling and back...
