How is this for long drives?

My son snoozes happily in it. The "wings" at head level really help keep his head in a comfortable position. The only issue we have is his rear end gets sore - but really, that could happen in any seat after a long ride when your legs don't touch the ground.

Well, it depends on usage. If you don't drive a lot per day it should last for two weeks easily!

I have gone about 12-14 hours with CONSTANT GPS/AUDIO/Visuals running. If you were to just be using it intermittently, you could probably go a few days.

I'm using it right now to answer you. I use it while on the road, works great

My Windstar van is running fine after about 3500 miles and over a year. I wouldn't suggest going on a long trip after use but that's just my opinion.

It's good almost no noise.I drive a nissan quest.Battery is about 3 days (standby) if you never turn it off, and really using this device the battery should be good for day and a half... I like mine but it not always pick up the signal so you have to turn off and on.Overall I do like it and recomend

Hi Kitty! I think the trailer is great for commuting but I'm not sure that I would do a long tour with it. It handles my 57lb dog just fine but I think I would want the quality, reliability and availability of parts if I was going to be out on the open road. It's a great trailer for the money but just not something I would trust touring. A Burley or something comparable would be money well spent if you can afford it. Happy Trails! Dan

I'm sure this will last me at least 100k, So far ive driven 3k miles on it and its extremely smooth. I have it on my 06 civic si.

Not bad, just depends on how fast you drive. If on the toll road at 80 miles an hour yes it does but not that bad

I have done 2 trips in the last 3 months from NC to NY. We have a Toyota Sienna minivan. On the first trip, which was without the carrier, I got around 26-28 mpg. On the next trip, with the carrier, we averaged around 22 mpg. There is obviously some drop off in the mileage, but when I looked at the cost of the carrier, it more than made up for the mpg. It is a great carrier, can hold a lot more than it looks.

We drove from south central PA to Austin, TX last summer and drove the speed limit (or maybe a bit beyond) without any difficulty. We stopped for two nights lodging on the road and checked the bag each morning before we left. We had stored all of our luggage needed for the stays in the car so didn't have to disturb the bag. We were very pleased with the performance of the bag on the road and it seemed none the worst for wear after its use. Highly recommend.

I have had my unit for about 6 months now and it has yet to fail on a continuous use basis. I have been able to accept sync ups from other brands and as long as were within 800 feet of each other it works well. I am unsure about off road usage as I am a highway man however a fellow rider that rides off-road does in fact have the same unit cites that he has little issues. Depending on the terrain and distance were the only two reported issues. otherwise, money and effort well spent. If there is concern of clarity of transmission and microphone, I've been impressed. It does offer background noise suppression, and I just received the newest update and I have noticed a small improvement in connectivity to other units. (Not sure if it was supposed to happen but I synced up with a DPS officer. Ticket avoided!!)

Took it for a two hour ride and that is the longest time I have used so far. Had no problems with it. It comes with a adapter for use of 3 AAA batteries which I carried to be safe. After 2 hours it was still shining bright

Absolutely! I drove about 1500 miles, mostly highway, in a week with no issues at all. Just make sure it is tight and wrap up the ends of the ties so they don't flap around and you will be fine.

I have had one for about 5 months. Seems to be decent. I use it every day as a helicopter mechanic. Only fault I had with the thing is the handle mounting to push around the hangar seemed a little weak initially. I haven't had problems with it yet though. In a van it would be no problem. Drawers have a detent that keep them closed, but no positive lock besides the key, so I'd recommend that before driving. I did have a parts/ziplock type bag get pushed out of the top drawer and fell behind the others. It kept many of the right side drawers from being locked properly with the key, but the drawers opened and closed with no problems otherwise. Once I found the bag behind the drawers, no more problems. It's a good box. It came with the wheels pre mounted when I got mine. I would buy the thing again. It's hard to beat it for the price.

Yes. I think you will like it. I keep my insuline in it. Its good for all 10-12 hours drive.
