I have a trek trail-a-bike, a Wee-Ride co-pilot (less than $90 new), and an Adams tandem trail-a-bike. I'm very unimpressed with how the Adams hooks up to my bike as far as stability goes. The Wee-Ride is significantly more stable than the (MUCH) more expensive Adams.

Ditch the training wheels now and maybe even the pedals (turning it into a balance bike). When he's comfortable scooting around with no pedals, put 'em back on and he should be able to get riding in short order (if he's motivated).
The current thought is that training wheels are the work of the devil. I don't disagree with this sentiment.
