Review: Choose the one that looks like it will work with your trailer. - I got an instep Kiddo trailer 2nd hand and it didn't come with the coupler. I looked at the diagram here, and I talked to 2 different people from instep, and they both suggested the flat coupler based on the model and date code information on the trailer. I really didn't get it, because the trailer arm obviously comes in at a 45 degree angle to the bike, not 90 degrees. So i disregarded the advice of the people i talked to, and ignored the pictures on this listing telling you how to choose the right coupler and just got the angled one. It worked out perfectly. I still don't understand in what world the straight one would be a better choice for this trailer. Maybe mine is a fluke, or maybe I'm not using it right, but ive got on 2 decent rides and it works great. I would have had to bend the spring quite a bit to get it into a flat coupler. Anyway, besides that, its easy to install, sturdy, and works great. I used it on a 29" Trek Xcaliber mountain bike and it fit like a charm.
Review: Solid product, easy to install, works as advertised - My daughter has 4 kids, 2 of them ride in a pull behind buggy. I have an electric bike so the thought came to me to find an adapter so we could pull the buggy on the ebike. Found this on desertcart and for $15 I can now pull the grandkids with ease! It seems solid and as good as the OEM that came with the buggy to begin with.
