We got one last year when it was obvious our youngest wasn't loving the Burley. She is almost 4 now and is in love with her weehoo. Its perfect- it gets her out on the trail with us instead of covered up in a trailer. It allows her to pedal when she wants. It has plenty of pockets for flowers, rocks, and whatever else she manages to stuff in them. We can talk while riding- interact and talk about the ride, what we see on the trail, etc. She feels like she is part of the ride and is helping make decisions on where to go and when to stop.

The weehoo extends up to something like 90lbs, but that is just nuts. My sister's youngest just turned 6 and will use theirs on long family rides since nobody has to slow down.


Its a solid product, both construction and versatility. The only complaint is ITS HEAVY!- but its more than worth the weight. We have done 25mi rides without our youngest being bored. She did fall asleep once, which was quite funny, but was totally safe since her feet were strapped in and she is buckled in with shoulder straps and waist straps.


We bought ours used on craigslist as its anything but cheap. From what I can tell, they resell at a high price, if that helps at all.
