Looks like there’s a need out there for this – the instructions in the booklet were tough for me to understand. I show how to attach the “coupler plate”, the thing that holds the end of the trailer, to the bike, then I show how to attach the trailer “hitch”. Finally I show how to strap in my kids. There’s an intermission where you can see my son steal a screwdriver from my 1 year-old. Sharing!
