I'm hoping that Brian let's this one slide...
Tried out a Trail Gator tow bar for my 4yo that I've had for several years (for first born) but never really used until this weekend gone.
Initial setup and test around the house seemed to work ok with 4yo appearing to be as upright as I'd expect. There was a slight turn to his handlebars to I adjusted the front fork lock, in hindsight perhaps not tightening up the clamp super hard in the process.
Later that afternoon went out for a cruise with daughter also along on her own bike. She commented that he looked like the 4yo was tipping over. There was a slight lean but nothing drastic and we went along fine for another ~2km. Later when I had to stop suddenly at an intersection he leaned sufficiently hard that it just kept rotating with him but he safely put his feet out. I straightened it up and just figured once rolling the momentum would keep it upright. Not to be. 50m later and the rotation brought us both down at about 10kph. Had to walk everything home and carry him.
Wondering if any other users here and if any issues had arisen? Perhaps it was just a matter of not being sufficiently tightened, but there's a few posts about the web that imply that they aren't always super stable.
