can this be used with children's bikes?

I tried it on a 16 inch bike {only one available}and it was just a little to long. It may work on the next size up. It is worth the price and is easy to use.

I asked my husband and he said that it fits on our older sons bikes they are 11 and 7 but not on our 3 yr olds bike so it depends on the size of the bike.

I have used it on two 24" bikes - specifically a Magna (WalMart special!) and a Diamondback Lustre 24. It worked fine.

It will not fit ALL kid's bikes. There is a minimum distance for this to work on child's bike. Back of bike's seat post to the front of the handlebar stem must be a minimum of 18" in order to hold securely

I would imagine so. I'm not sure about a toddler's bike but maybe. I would consult a bike shop first though before purchasing anything just to avoid any hassles.

Any child that can fit on it can use it. The frame is quite small. The directions that come with the bike are not relevant to the actual product.

You can try but I wouldn't. I bought an adapter for one of my bicycles that didn't have a straight top frame tube. It's much more secure that way.

It will not hold five full size bikes...and your kids bikes need to be pretty small to get five bikes on the rack.

Yes, definitely... we put two mountain bikes and a kids bike on ours with no problems... depending on the size of the frame, you might have to be a little creative, but you can definitely make it work.

I would say yes. It depends on the frame of the bike. I carry 2 adult bikes and 3 kids bikes. I use 1 on my wife's bike and one on the smallest kids bike. I bought the tension bars at Walmart.

I believe it would work fine. The tires are rubber bicycle tires and would grip gravel well. It has enough ground clearance. I think the only issue would be that it would be difficult for a child to pedal hard enough to maintain speed.

I only tried kids' bikes in this -- hubby thinks bigger bikes may be a bit tight in the stand. Good luck!

You could but you would have make sure you have the right kind. The bike does not have the usual frame shape so may not compatible with the most common type of training wheels. More importantly, though, this bike is specifically designed to help teach how to ride without training wheels. The kid learns balance first without any pedals, gears or chain in the way. You then add those later (they are included). Hope that helps!

I have not tried it with a tandem or recumbent bike, but I'd guess that the center of gravity would be off or the attachments aren't in the right place. If it says it's not appropriate for those bikes, I wouldn't try it.

Yes, I believe so. My rack came with adapters for the smaller wheel and kids size bikes. I haven't used them but they seem like they would work fine. Hope that helps.

Maybe, depending on the construction of the toddler seat. There are no fenders on this bike; so that may be an issue. Otherwise, I could see on attached as the bike is normally constructed.

Great question __ as I wondered this too. No, I don't believe so because it would be in the way of the the toddler's legs. I have a Topeak MTX Rear Bicycle Basket __ which we both enjoy. It is sturdy and can be easily removed and carried like a basket into the store, onto the beach with toys, or books, etc. I recommend a Sunlite Double Kickstand, however, as the bike becomes really top-heavy with a child and a loaded basket!

You can use it. However it is not designed to quickly place the bike on and off of it.

I've jogged with an infant and toddler together and that worked fine. I've never done that while using it as a bike trailer though. I imagine it would be fine as long as the total weight of the children is within the manufacturer recommendations, but I cannot speak from experience. Hope that helps

Yes. The piece that comes with it, goes on the pole that supports the seat. I think the only restrictions are the height of the adult bike.
