Discovered today that the 'mudguard' supplied with our Adams Trail-a-bike is fairly useless. We only went thro a few muddy-ish puddles and the back of sonandheir's t-shirt looks like the 'before' shot from a Daz advert.
I'll be off to the LBS this week for a replacement. Are mudguards pretty much of a muchness? Will any rear mudguard for a 20 inch wheel do a reasonable job, or are some better than others?
Apart from the muddied back we had a nice bank holiday bike ride and picnic. 11.5 miles is the furthest we've taken the trailer bike this year and sonandheir didn't complain too much about the experience - bribery [1] works wonders.
[1] playground stops and illicit (ie non-Friday) sweets

Make sure son's t-shirt is liberally sprinkled with "Vanish" at start of ride? It'll make subsequent laundry so much easier ;-)
"the 'mudguard' supplied with our Adams Trail-a-bike is fairly useless" the mudgaurd is fine you just need to make a mudlap and fix it to the end of the mudgaurd [an old fairy liquid bottle is good], just as important is a mudflap for your bike to keep the crud out of the face of your crew. I know from experience we had a trailer bike for years when my two lads were growing, had some of the best holidays ever youth hosteling on the bikes.
