Large Special Needs Trailer in Tow
The standard Special Needs trailer is for passengers to about 4 feet 10 inches and the large to about 5 feet 5 inches. Both will accommodate weights to 175 lbs. And if one of these won't work for you, tell us what your specific needs are and more than likely we can make one to fit.
CycleTote bicycle trailer for larger special needs
Large Special Needs Trailer with Large Tumble Form feeder seat. Note that the seat can be moved to adjust for leg room and tilt. And although it is difficult to see in this picture the top of the front roll bar on all Special Needs trailers is quickly removable for assisting your passenger into the trailer.

Equipment:
Special Needs trailers come with either a fabric sling seat with a 5-point seat harness, or in the alternative we'll make them ready to accept the seating you own including Panda, Snug, and Tumble Form feeder or carrier seats. Or if you wish we can equip the trailer so that you can use either – we’ll include the sling seat or you can attach your own rigid seating. This is our “dual seating” option. Sammons-Preston or Tumble Form products are available from the manufacturers or from other sources, such as Habitations.com.
All Special Needs trailers come equipped with 1000 denier cordura fabric, a canopy with nylon mesh in front and a vinyl weather cover, clear plastic side windows, two bicycle seat post hitch attachments, your choice of either 700c (touring) or 26" (mountain bike) full -sized, quick-release bicycle wheels, Continental tires, mud guard, safety flag, flashing red tail-light, and wheel reflectors.
A remarkable optional feature is CycleTote's automatic braking system that provides a more uniform reduction in speed and safer stops. This can be especially important with heavy loads, at higher speeds or for emergency stopping. Another popular option is the running/stroller add-on.

Special Needs Testimonials
"Got the CycleTote it is fabulous. Hopefully this weekend I can get out for a longer ride with my son...Keep up the good work." 
JD, Houston, Texas
"My daughter and I have enjoyed some nice rides together. There is a good feeling of security with the design and construction of the trailer."
"Having a handicapped son often limits the activities that we can do as a family. Fortunately, because of your wonderfully designed and built trailer, we can continue to hit the roads on our bicycle. This is the third trailer that we have had and by far, the best."
"The brakes gave me peace of mind going over the mountain passes. I have seen the rest and none compare."
"I had my son out for a short ride the other day around the neighborhood and this trailer handled perfectly. My son enjoyed the ride, and I barely knew the trailer was there."
"This trailer is fabulous. My daughter doesn't want to leave it."
"A friend of mine just purchased one of your special needs totes and is raving about it."
“It’s been two weeks since we picked up Nicole’s Special Needs CycleTote. We just want you to know that we love it! We have taken both girls for bike rides almost every day. Thanks again.”
“I can’t thank you enough for designing a bike trailer combination stroller for kids with special needs. We have had great compliments on how we continue to have Jordan out and about in the community ENJOYING life! You’ve made this possible for us - rollerblading to bike riding. Thank you so much!”
“It has been 3 years since I bought the special needs trailer. We have traveled countless miles without problems, not even a flat. It certainly opened up an entirely new world for my daughter. We can take our goodies and treats and make a day of having fun. In all honesty, my daughter smiles, laughs, etc., the entire time she is in the trailer. She never wants to stop and never tires of riding. Feel free to use my comments. They all come from our hearts here and I can’t imagine ever being without the trailer.”
Dennis Foster, Fairland, OK
The Trailer is still in top-notch shape after all these miles. I do believe the trailer will last a lifetime. The fabric is still excellent and has no tears or shows no wear. It is still the best money I ever spent for my daughter's pleasure and entertainment. I only wish i had known of the Cycletote years earlier."
Dennis Foster, Fairland, OK
I have a 13 year old daughter with CP. She absolutely loves her CycleTote. The construction is fantastic. We went the other day down by the river and were able to put the "bug screen" on and just go, despite a recent hatch of mayflies. We've had the plastic cover on when it's been raining and snowing and she just laughs the whole way. We've gotten other products (which were expensive) and yet, they didn't deliver … either in performance or in the way Jessica enjoyed them. Your product has delivered in both aspects."
Joe & Elaine Ganahl, Casper, WY
"We can't begin to thank you enough for making this product…it is a dream come true for us! My husband and I have cared for our son for 30 years and just figured he outgrew everything that we could have fun with. Thank you thank you thank you. I didn't know if my son would enjoy it and it was a gamble, but he simply adores his cycletote. We are both 50 and I didn't know if we could haul him around but the darned thing is so well made, we hardly know we are pulling 140 pounds! We are grateful."
The Willcoxon Family, Columbus OH
"The assembly's all done. We just went for a long family ride, and it was wonderful! You should have seen David's face. He was grinning, and saying over and over, "this is awesome."
On the way home it started to drizzle, and we put up the rain guard. He loves looking out the windows. The brakes, to me, are essential. We feel very safe because of the brakes. I'm glad I Ordered them. We love our CycleTote."
Linda Moran, N.J.
