Hi, we have Giant Expression N7s and have used them with a Burley trailer very happily but the kids are getting bigger....! We are now looking at getting rid of our car :-0 and while my 7 year old can comfortably cycle long enough distances... the 5 year old cannot. So I am now looking at Tag alongs / gator things that attach his bike to ours... BUT due to the seat set up on the Giant we are thinking that they may not fit?? Does anyone have any help or advice out there pls? Thank you v much, Claire

I have this bike: http://www.rei.com/product/744789/novara-mia-womens-bike
and a trail-gator, and it works. There's less clearance between the ground and my son's front tire than when my husband uses a trail-gator with his road bike, but I think that's due to the height of the bike, rather than its geometry. I've never seen a Giant Expression in person, but based on a picture online, it looks about the same as my bike, or easier.
