The Allen ES2 Super Eco Trailer is a versatile product designed for the transport of children and cargo, functioning as both a bicycle trailer and a stroller. It is intended for use on paved road surfaces and offers a range of features for safety, convenience, and ease of use.
Function Description:
The primary function of the ES2 Super Eco Trailer is to safely transport up to two children or cargo when attached to a bicycle, or to function as a stroller for walking. It features a durable frame with a canopy, a sling seat with a 5-point safety harness, and quick-release wheels for easy assembly, take-down, and storage. The trailer is equipped with a tow bar for bicycle attachment and an optional stroller kit with a handlebar and swivel wheel for conversion to stroller mode. A "Four-Season Cover" provides protection from weather and debris, and a safety flag enhances visibility during use.

Usage Features:
- Quick Assembly and Storage: Designed for quick assembly, take-down, and storage, making it convenient for transport.
- Forward-Facing Seating: Provides forward-facing seating for up to two passengers.
- 5-Point Safety Harness: Ensures children are securely restrained with an adjustable 5-point safety harness. The harness straps should be adjusted so the crotch strap and shoulder straps meet at the child's stomach level.
- Four-Season Cover: A full rain cover with a roll-up window protects passengers from inclement weather and flying debris. The cover can be rolled up for ventilation in hot weather. It is mandatory to use the trailer with the Four-Season Cover attached.
- Safety Flag: A 3-piece safety flag is included for increased visibility when the trailer is in use.
- Parking Brake: A combination wheel guard and parking brake system allows the user to engage the braking function by moving a lever, locking both wheels simultaneously. This feature is crucial when loading or unloading children.
- Bicycle Attachment: The trailer can be attached to a bicycle using either a bolt-on rear axle or a quick-release axle system. The hitch tab should face the rear of the bike, roughly parallel to the ground, and be securely tightened to prevent rotation. A safety strap must always be attached to the bike frame.
- Stroller Conversion (Optional Kit): An optional stroller kit allows for quick conversion from trailer to stroller mode. This involves removing the tow bar, inserting a front swivel wheel into a mounting bracket, and attaching a handlebar. The wrist strap on the handlebar should always be used when pushing the stroller.
- Wheel Guard: The integrated wheel guard helps deflect the tire from obstructions, preventing potential accidents.
- Child Safety: Not suitable for children under 6 months. Children must be able to hold their head up with helmets on. Helmets are recommended for all passengers and may be legally required.
- Pre-Ride Safety Check: Users are advised to check the hitch clamp, hitch safety strap, seat harness, tire air pressure (35-40 PSI), and overall condition of the bike and trailer before each use.
- Towing Tips: Emphasizes allowing extra clearance, being aware of a wide turning radius, avoiding curbs, bumps, and holes, and signaling turns. It also advises against riding at night or on highways/busy streets.
Maintenance Features:
- Regular Inspection: Before each ride, check the trailer for signs of wear or damage, inflate tires to correct pressure, and ensure all nuts, bolts, and quick-release pins are secured.
- Professional Inspection: It is recommended to have the trailer inspected by a qualified bicycle mechanic once a year.
- Cleaning: The trailer fabric can be cleaned with mild soap and water and allowed to air dry. The fabric is not machine washable.
