Thule Coaster XT Baby Bike Trailer - Black

was great for kids and family rides, durable and lasted years until the kids got too big to both fit

Bought this a month ago and very happy with it so far! Only used for running at this point while waiting on some bike repairs, but rolls great while running and very light weight and easy to maneuver

This has been an awesome bike trailer for our 3 and - year olds. They love going on rides on the back of the bike and it makes trips with the kids super easy. It’s also very easy to attach to the bike and to fold down, even take the wheels off for collapsable travel. My son and I were riding today and got into a pretty bad wreck. I’m scraped and bruised and he was sideways inside the trailer. Other than some tears of fear about the accident, he was completely fine, not a scratch on him and for that alone I’d give this more than 5 stars if I could. I would recommend this trailer to anyone looking in a heartbeat.

We’ve had our trailer for years now and use it every day to take our kid to school and every day we have to deal with the Velcro of the cover being so short that we can attach it. After the struggle to attach at least one end the slightest disturbance of wind and worse, rain, makes it fly open. So we are riding unprotected and many times wrt. 2 more inches and it would be perfect! We would even take just 1 inch. Don’t buy this trailer. It gets annoying after a while.

We bought this coaster a whopping 4 weeks ago now and we think it works. It rides straight and our small daughter fits in it. Its extremely and unabashedly useful.

I love jogging with this stroller even though it's not a jogger! I have not used it as a bike trailer as my second son is not born/old enough yet- but I can't wait to try it! I can imagine it will be weightless behind my bike. It's very easy to use as a stroller and I even prefer it to the single stroller I've used all last year! Thule has great products and setup was not hard. About 30 minutes. I don't like that the front removable stroller wheel is plastic instead of rubber- it's louder on rocky paths. But I do enjoy running with it because there is more space for my feet to reach forward while jogging as compared to my Thule single seater jogging stroller! I am 5'9" and the handle bar is just high enough. Would probably be too low for my husband. Nice black color and all tarps and folds and Velcro is intuitive and easy to use. Folding is very easy!

I will start by saying that my kids LOVE this but it is very small and not representative of the spec. My son 43lbs and my daughter is 25lbs, they are so squished in there. I think we will outgrow it quickly. The spec said 48.5lbs per child but I think this is a stretch.

I bike AND run daily even in 5 months of snow, and have had three Thule products: the Urban Glide 2 stroller, the Cougar chariot and now this. I sold the Urban Glide and the Cougar for this beauty! It's incredibly easy to transition from bike to stroller mode, more so than the Cougar, it pushes almost as smoothly as the Urban Glide and has FANTASTIC ventilation. Two things I would change are the brake since this one can only be done by reaching between the wheel, and for suspension. The hammock seat is as sturdy as a bench seat, but it doesn't absorb the shock very well for gravel or running on cracks. I'm almost always on pavement though and the kids haven't complained. If you need a fixed jogging wheel or go off road often, it might be worth doubling your budget for the Lite, but if you're a flat surface roller like me, it's a fantastic lightweight trailer. Maybe buy some WD-40 for the knob to fold it- they're a little snug.

Confused why this product wouldn’t come with the parts required to attached to bike. EZ hitch should come with…

Whether I am taking the kids for a ride or if my wife is out for a jog, it holds two kids well. Practically no assembly required and it folds down to help with storage.

Purchased couple years ago and very lightly used. Safety straps looked very badly designed and not secure at all day 1. To make things worse one of the latches stopped working. Stacked. And to make it even worse, I do not think it can be replaced. Thule does not list it as a replacement part anyway. Brake system was rarely used considering we live in flat area. Even that misfunctioned when one screw get lost and brake could not be disengaged. I fixed it but again, design is poor, that screw keeps getting lose. Another problem is that trailer has a lot of room for stuff at the back but not enough in front for kids legs. Again, bad design. I am not saying trailer is so bad but it is not worth the money. I think it is better to purchase cheep alternative and not to be surprised with issues

Was a bit worried my 15 month year old would not enjoy this, but wow she runs to the Coaster every time she sees it! Sturdy construction and love the little pocket(s) inside. We pack her water, some treats and her favourite stuffy and go for a bike ride. Highly recommend!!

We have been using the Coaster XT for almost a year and have had nothing but good experiences. Our little guy (now almost 2 yrs old) loves it, and we utilize the secondary seat for extra clothing, stuffed animals, snacks, etc. It is perfect for our bike rides to the Farmer's Market, where we can quickly convert to a stroller to walk around, and pack our market goods in the back storage. It feels very sturdy, and while there isn't anything remarkable about the shocks, it seems to be quite comfortable whether we're on the road or an easy trail. I also like the ability to use the screen or the wind/rain cover, depending on the weather. The only other feature that would be great to have would be some sort of shade cover. We debated getting this since we already have the Urban Glide 2 jogger, but have found both to be equally used and enjoyed.

I have been waiting for these to be available since April of 2020. It’s everything I expected from Thule and my daughter loves it and the infant sling makes it great for the entire family. I only with there were more accessories available (cup holder, extra top end storage)

We purchased a month ago. We keep it in the trunk of our vehicle because we don't have storage space at our apt. It folds up compactly and the wheels click off in a second. It works as you'd expect as a stroller and as a trailer. It holds our 1 and 3-year-old with no problem. The seats and belts are not cheap, a big selling point for my wife. Both kids fall asleep in the trailer and are comfortable. A great, great buy! The color even looks really good. It pops and stands out on the road while also looking stylish! Nothing to complain about whatsoever.

I have a one year old and a three year old and this is perfect for trips on local trails, around our neighborhood and to the beach. I love how I can easily unhook it from the bike and wheel it from the bike rack to the beach with the boys and all our supplies loaded in the back. There is plenty of storage space and it is easy to collapse (wheels come off quickly) and put in the car. Even when folded, it still takes up a lot of space in the back of our SUV and I would change the side to mesh as the boys get warm in there together, but other than that we love it!

Purchased this and my son loves to take rides in it. We like that when we get to a location we can convert the unit to a stroller easily to we can do more exploring on foot.

This is a well designed product that is simple and fast to hitch and unhitch. The suspension seems reasonable even for roads with large numbers of potholes. It has great all-weather protection. My only complaint is that is took quite some force (and, eventually, my husband's help) to uncollapse it from its folded position.

We bought this a year ago to tow our kids around behind the bike. My wife is an avid runner and we have the two Thule running strollers as well but she has been using this during the cold winter months because you can load the trailer up with blankets to keep the kids warm. The only flaw we have seen is that the front wheel seems to be wearing down quickly. I am trying to find a replacement when that is inflatable like the rear wheels.

as someone who doesn't have a car, i use my coaster XT in all seasons. the big bike tires make it SO easy to get through snow. in the winter, i rig it with blankets in 3 places that seem made for add your own insulation. the on board storage for the front wheel is a must for a mother of 2 who has too many other things to remember. i've had my coaster for almost 3 years, and it's only just starting to show mild wear. totally worth every cent. thanks Thule!
