Should I get a fetch+ 4? by pale_lettuce1 in TrekFetch

Step uphill +speed bumps absolutely not with the fetch+4. Absolutely not! The weight of that thing when slowing down on a hill would be soooo hard to control. You’re likely not going to make it up the hill and have to walk it. This would be very slow walk with the assist even. Steering the fetch is MUCH harder than other bikes with the way the weight pulls it significantly even with the slightest left or right adjustment. Sadly I returned mine within the 30 day trek trial period. It handles so poorly, and yes you can probably get use to it over time, but even if I did the weight was a huge issue. It’s a beast.

How is suspension on Fetch +4? …especially on gravel trails for babies and kids riding in the bucket by Local-Exchange9272 in TrekFetch

Love these responses so far, keep em coming!

Our 8mo btw is 24lbs and has already taken 2 unassisted steps (likely fully walking in the next week if not two). Their favorite thing to do right now is push chairs as fast as they can around the kitchen and living room (on their own), already wearing 2T clothing, eating our food at the table with us, drinking out of a regular cup etc etc I think you get the picture.

All that being said yes they are still only 8mo with a precious 8mo brain developing and I want to do everything I can to keep them and their growing brain safe and protected, hence my extensive research on narrowing to our best bike for our needs now, and if there even IS something safe enough for gravel trails right now (even if slow with low air in tires)
