Children Bicycle Trailer & Jogging Stroller

We write our first post about this great Children Bicycle Trailer & Jogging Stroller, in which you can carry one or two kids, it comes with 5 point harnesses for both options (we’ve carried up to 4 happy kids!)

You can use it as a jogging stroller or to walk in places where it’s not easy to use a regular stroller (we’ve used it in a sandy beach as well as on the country side), being quite lightweight and easy to use. You can also attach it to your bike in quite a simple and safe way.

This is the second summer we use it, we’ve carried kids which now weight altogether more than 40kg without any issues (the maximum capacity is supposed to be 40kg).

It’s quite big, the kids are very happy to ride it and they have fun inside the trailer. Behind the kids there’s quite a big space, where you can carry for example some shopping bags or the tools and toys to go to the beach.

It’s quite easy to transport, you can take it appart and fold it. There’s a small detail they should fix, when you fold one part on top of the other, both pieces are at the same height, so the one on top isn’t completely folded and therefore it makes the folding a bit unstable. This is the one thing we would fix on this trolley.

It comes with the bike kit, the jogging/walking tires, a mosquito and a rain cover.

This trailer/stroller is great where the regular ones can’t go. It has a very good weight balance, you can easily raise the front wheel to overcome an obstacle. It also has a brake on the handlebar which is handy when you carry weight downhill.

The recommended usage is when the kids can sit down, when our baby was only 3 months old we use to carry her putting inside the car’s seat. The baby was very happy to go inside the stroller!

Regarding the price, it’s very affordable, especially compared to the other we found on the market. We’ve had it for a couple of years and we’ve used it a lot, it keeps working perfectly.

Our overall rating: 5 stars! Highly recommended!

Bose SoundLink III – Bluetooth Speakers

For a long time I wanted to get some high quality bluettoth speakers, and I finally decided to buy the Bose Soundlink III for 2 reasons: we barely listen to CDs anymore and having to plug the phone to the stereo with a cable is not very handy.

We use to have some basic ones, which we bought to play music for the kids while they were playing in their room, which were of the suction type. It was very handy to be able to play music everywhere but they lacked quality. The music volume was quite low, and they didn’t last too long (our eldest kid dropped it and it broke). The good thing is that they’re quite cheap.
On the other side, the Bose Soundlink III bluetooth speakers are top range among the portable speakers, being a bit heavier and bigger than the average. Due to this, you get a superior sound and a nice battery life (around 14 hours), more than average.
The volumen leve lis good, nice for playing music inside and outside, good enough for a small group gathering, although not enough for a large party.

The usage is simple and quite intuitive: it has 6 buttons at the top – three on each side. On one side you have the power button, input selection Bluetooth or cable. On the other side you have the volume control and the mute button which is quite handy. The Bluetooth pairing is straight forward – turn it on and use it, literally.
Regarding connectivity, it has 3 inputs: power, minijack aux and miniusb which can be used for upgrading the software.
The external materials are of good quality: aluminium casing, and soft touch plastic at the top and the bottom. The sides are covered with anti-slip material which provides more stability.
The only thing that worries me a bit are the top plastic buttons, they use soft plastic with painting, let’s see how long they last… If they don’t last long I’ll update the post.
As you can see, in general I’m very happy with the speakers, they do what they’re expected and they’re efficient and easy to use. The sound is very good and the bass response is surprisingly good, they’re made with the expected quality, and have a decent size and weight.
You need to take care of the battery of the device you use to send the music. This is a common thing for any Bluetooth speaker. We use to have a portable dock speaker set which was nice, which you could use to charge the phone when the battery was running out, but they don’t seem to make new ones, so we chose the Bluetooth speakers…

Bose SoundLink III – Altavoces bluetooth

Desde hace tiempo tenía pensado comprar unos altavoces bluetooth portátiles de calidad, como estos Bose Soundlink III, por dos razones muy simples: los CDs ya casi no se usan y no es muy cómodo el enchufar el teléfono al un equipo de música con un cable.

Antes de estos tuve unos muy básicos, los compré para ponerle música a los niños, eran tipo ventosa. Lo mejor que saqué de ellos fue la sensación de comodidad de poder escuchar música en cualquier parte. Lo que le faltaba era algo de calidad y potencia de sonido, algo que además comprobé rápidamente porque duraron bastante poco (se le cayó al niño y se rompió), aunque la verdad es que son mucho más baratos.

En cambio, los altavoces bluetooth Bose Soundlink III, se sitúan en el tope de gama de los altavoces portátiles, siendo algo mayores y pesados que la media. A cambio se obtiene un sonido y una duración de batería (alrededor de 14 horas) también superiores a la media.

El volumen es muy bueno, de sobra para escuchar en interior y exterior, estando con amigos, aunque insuficiente para una fiesta grande.

Sobre su uso, es simple e intuitivo: tiene con 6 botones en la parte superior, tres a cada lado. En un lado están los de encendido y selección de fuente: bluetooth o entrada auxiliar. En el otro están los de subir y bajar el volumen y en de mute, muy práctico para cancelar la música al momento. El emparejamiento por bluetooth es muy sencillo, encender y usar, literalmente.

En el apartado conexiones, viene con tres entradas: alimentación, auxiliar tipo minijack y un pequeño miniUSB para actualizar el software.

Sobre los materiales exteriores, todo muy cuidado: la carcasa es de aluminio, y las partes de arriba y abajo de plástico de calidad y agradable al tacto. Los extremos de la parte de abajo vienen con dos zonas de material antideslizante, para que tengan más estabilidad.

Lo único que está por ver es como aguantan los botones superiores, ya que sus funciones están impresas sobre una pletina de plástico blando: así que primero a ver como aguanta la pintura y luego el propio plástico. Pero eso el tiempo y el uso lo dirán, si hay novedades actualizaremos el post.

En general estoy muy contento con él, hace lo que se espera de manera fácil y eficiente. El sonido y la respuesta de graves es sorprendente, y son de un tamaño, peso y construcción que dan la sensación de calidad que se espera.

El único punto que hay que tener cuidado es la duración de la batería desde donde reproduzcas la música. Esto es algo que no es propio de estos altavoces, sino que afecta a todos. Estuve buscando unos altavoces que combinasen un dock para que no se descargue y bluetooth para cuando no hiciese falta, pero por desgracia parece que es una cosa u otra.
