To give a more (ish) complete picture on why I bought the wee hoo these were the positives... non technical ones
1. Falling asleep... Tag a longs that look like a 1/2 a bike or even a bike are great for older children who do not fall asleep or do not get tired. At Pre-school a little one fell asleep and fell off a tag a long thing lucky she fell road to path and not road into on coming traffic, she was very scraped up. They cannot fall off a wee hoo
2. If they are only on a balance bike still - I found Wee Hoo assists in them learning to ride quicker, they get the pedal action from a wee hoo and the balance from the balance bike
3. When she pedalled I could feel the difference
4. Unlike a trailer they wear them out as they are exercising too.
5. They do not do that awful lean thing you see happening on tag a longs and they are very secure
6. They have pockets for drinks and child can drink/eat on a wee hoo.
7. A child can do everything in a wee hoo they can do in a trailer including playing the harmonica
8. More than one child is not a problem on the Wee Hoo as they do double ones.
9. The panniers are great for all their child crap.
10. If you want to go long distance it is not a problem as when your small person has had enough they can just sit there watching the world go by with no effort or concentration, in Maggots case usually eating/drinking/singing/play harmonica/waving to the world...
11. They fit them until they are 9 (I have had my 9 year old in it) so if you are really long distance cycling (I am not) that is not an issue to take the small people along for quite a number of years
12. People have toured with Wee Hoos & 3 year olds, there is a blog somewhere
13. Cars avoid you like the plague (around here anyway) I have noticed they give me far more space when I have the wee hoo attached as opposed to when I had the trailer.
14. You can off road, mountain bike, snow bike do that very grrr all bumpy dirty high energy stuff (that I do not do) with a Wee Hoo, the videos on their faceache page from owners doing just that are amazing.
15. My Father (73 and old enough to know better) rolled our trailer more than once with his electric bike... he never had that issue with the Wee Hoo (BTW User76 thought Papa rolling the trailer was hilarious whilst she hung upside down laughing - this Mummy was less than amused by it)
