How does this one compare to ones with two rear wheels? I really wonder if Pamela Wilson meant it had a gear shift, please elaborate? swivel?

This does have a swivel gear on it. Very well located next to right thumb. This turned out to be a great update this company added. I do not know of all the ones with 2 rear wheels. I do know about the one the previous person asked about. That model was very wobbly and was not safe for our needs. I hope this helped! We have actually bought this model twice and have been happy with it both times we needed it. Good luck to you!

I didn't drive another brand long enough to know about how the two compared. The shifter I had engaged/disengaged the two front wheels from swiveling independently in place (what you need to turn around in a tight spot) and then engaged them to steer with the handlebars.

Don't forget about the rear wheels! Deluxe models as this one has bigger rear wheels which make it so much easier to push and steer. It won't disappoint.

The tandem axel probably easier ( more stable for balance and easier handling with and without load ) ... except for turning With turning you will be dragging one axel ( front or back 2 wheels ) sideways ...will be heavy work by hand even empty... not really too noticeable when maneuvering with atv ( though 2 of 4 wheels still forced sideways . ( increased stress with heavy load turning very hard by hand ) not really noticeable with atv...but found the trailer quite durable . ( full high piled heavy loads of Larch firewood )

Doesn't swivel. I have however used many times for road trips and it helps a lot!

I don't know if it's the same as the gator or not. It does have reverse gear 1 and gear 2 which u can shift as u are moving. Gear 2 can be locked out by the parent to prevent them from going as fast.

Yes, the front wheel swivels, the rear wheels do not. I can stand in one place and do a 360' turn. So, the answer is "yes"!

Hi, I am not sure how the front wheel swivels but I love this bike trailer. there is a small wheel that attatches to the front and I have no complaints but I have only used it a couple of times my daughter is still to young.

No, the rear wheels do not swivel. It is much better for stable operation and easier to make it go where you want the way it is with the rear wheels always in line with the walker frame.

I purchased this back in July so my recollection is not absolutely clear. having said that, I do remember that the right rear wheel was/is the drive wheel. I think the the left rear wheel freewheels. Could check it out tomorrow when I will have an opportunity look at the unit again. Let me know.

It does swivel in both directions, but one way is only half the tilt as the other. The knob on the adjuster broke on instalation, I received a replacement and it too broke, very poor design on the knob. I super glued it back together and am very happy with it now.

This model can not be converted into a swivel wheel. If you are a serious jogger, this is the best stroller. When you are on a run... the front wheel not moving left or right is very safe! There are other Jeep models I'm sure with swivel wheels. Hope this helps... enjoy!

The right shifter shifts the rear wheel sprocket. In my case that is 7 gears. The left shifts the crank sprocket. in my case that is 2 gears. My rear brake is connected to the right brake lever and the front brake is connected to the left break lever. The small levers shifts up and flipping the brake lever in towards the center shifts down. I put these on my 14 speed Schwinn and they work very well. I also changed my rear sprocket and change and in it amazing how much better the bike is. I love mine and hope this helps. Happy Riding.

there is one shifter for all the gears: rear/neutral/forward/forward (rear rotating tines)/forward (front rotating tines). there is also a throttle on the hand grip.

Hi Denise,You're supposed to be able to pull that little knob out a bit and put it in the upright (I believe) position. When the knob is to the side position, it doesn't swivel. However, mine was broken and no matter what I did, the wheel was not swiveling!! Also, the back wheels kept popping out. I got a full refund from Amazon and am very very grateful and happy with their service!! I ordered another AT3 Pet Gear stroller. Hopefully this one will function properly. Good luck!! Sue

They are 2 hand breaks with free wheeling pedals. It's a very grown-up trike! It has great styling and is fun to ride. Be sure to make wide turns; the balance is different than a 2 wheeler.

I've had a little trouble with it. It seems like the front wheel just doesn't swivel like it's supposed to.

The rear cassette or freewheel will have seven gears. Then you are ok. However it sounds like you have 8 gears in the rear so you will need one with one more shift line.
