Optimistic but also feeling mislead.
We love our Weehoo trailer; used it a dozen times this last year. Don't love the occasional struggle it can be to load up kids without tipping over. I've been using a bike kickstand to help keep my bike steady while loading kids, to varying degrees of success. It occurred to me how much easier it would be if the trailer itself had a double kickstand. So when I found this already existed I purchased right away.When it arrived, I noticed the warning label:Warning: Kickstand will not support child loaded in trailer. Kickstand only supports unloaded trailer. Do not deploy kickstand with child loaded in trailer.It seemed misleading that this warning information wasn't anywhere in the description since I'm going to assume that 99% of people shopping for a Weehoo kickstand are looking for help stabilizing the trailer while loading/unloading/stopping with kids on board. Not shopping for "how to support an unloaded trailer".The construction looks great. The install was quick and easy. And it's done a perfect job at "supporting an unloaded trailer" in the garage for whatever that's worth. I’m excited to try this out soon on an actual outing (I’ll update when I’ve used it). I expect the warning label was because they don’t want to be liable for tipping (really no reasonable kickstand is going to be completely childproof on a loaded trailer if they start throwing their weight around). And I’m optimistic that the kickstand will significantly improve the loading/unloading experience.Update 3/24/2018This kickstand met my expectations and **dramatically** simplified the act of loading/unloading. We've used it several times. I'm also considering adding a two-point kickstand on bike, as was suggested in comments.Unfortunately, the top part of the bracket has broken. I've reached out to WeeHoo support to see if i can just replace the broken bracket part. I've not sure what specific conditions caused the break; my wife used it the last couple times. Maybe it was a crash/collision, or maybe something happened in transit. Warranty is expired (1 year), and technically I was violating the warning label every time I used the stand while loading/unloading kids; so WeeHoo is not obligated to do anything. But if I'm unable to replace the broken bracket, I don't think I can justify spending another $50 when the last one didn't last two years.Update 5/31/2018Weehoo customer support was quick and helpful. Although their policy doesn't usually cover accessories, they were happy to replace the broken trailer kickstand after I paid for shipping.Also, I went ahead and put a double kickstand on my bike as well. I expect that'll resolve the trouble of the bike wanting to tip if the handlebars rotate while I'm loading kids in the trailer. Still need to test it out.

A little bit of a pain to install and expensive but worth every penny
After storing my iGo Two on its side a few times, I decided to purchase the Weehoo kickstand. It's overpriced for what it is but it's going to make my life a whole lot easier. There's a disclaimer saying not to use the kickstand to load but it's really solid. I use it when I'm loading.The kickstand mounting screws seem to be backwards. There's two screw that attach from the top on the chain side and one screw that goes on the side for the other. The chain partially blocks access from the top. If the screw was side mounted, it'd be perfect. The other side has plenty of space for top loading screw.Pro's:A very solid kickstand that makes storage or lockup a lot easier.Easy to change the kickstand height if necessary.Con's:Install isn't easy without the right tools.Screw design appears to be backwards.ExpensiveInstallation Tips:My bike multi tool didn't fit in the cramped space by the chain. I went out to Lowe's and picked up an 4mm ball end allen wrench that could be used with a ratchet. Attaching the Weehoo to my bike to have it upright while doing the install made it a whole lot easier.

Good first try. Keeps it out of the way.
I love the WeeHoo. My kids love the WeeHoo. But we have hated the lack of a kickstand, so we jumped at the chance to buy this as soon as we saw it.It's a pain to install. Somehow, you have to squeeze it between the chain tube, seat, and other brackets, and while holding the pieces together, get three bolts in that go in at odd angles considering all your trying to keep together. End result: cross threaded on the first try. Had to tap them to finish the install.Does it work? Yeah. Is it very stable? Not really. It's enough that you can help the kids out and not straddle the trailer tongue nearly as much to keep it steady, but don't expect to leave your toddler sitting in it and not tip it. Great for storing it in the garage though since now it's not awkwardly setting on the frame or pedal or falling over all the time.It's a good first try. I wouldn't be surprised if they updated it soon after they gauge how popular it might be. That said, WeeHoo has been a great company to deal with(Had a defect in the cloth part of the seat netting, sent a new cover free of charge with no issues).

nice piece of kit
Solid, nice piece of kit. Was particularly trying to get it to screw on properly, but it's a matter of laying the Weehoo on its side to get an angle on where to screw. Other than that, it does as intended. Although, I can see why it doesn't recommend it for loading children onto it. The legs themselves are only as good as the surface you lay it on, and most surfaces won't be exactly, perfectly even. The stand doesn't have enough surface area contact to hold a road bike up when placing the kid on. But then again, the item description is pretty accurate in that sense. For what it's designed for, it accomplishes that much. Only wished it would've been more stable to hold the bike up... and even better if it came standard on a $400 Weehoo.

As Extra Set of "Hands"
We have a Wehoo which our toddler absolutely loves! However, having been used to a bike trailer, it was an adjustment to remember to balance the bike and at the same time the Wehoo with our toddler in it. We decided to purchase the stand to lend us "another pair of hands". The reviews I read prior to purchasing, I was really concerned about the process to install. My husband installed in in a few minutes. He did mention that he did have to take the bike connection off, but it wasn't as grueling as some reviewers indicated. As it stands, it is working very well, but we haven't tried it with you toddler in it yet. I will follow up with an update if I think of it.

Wish the cost were lower but works well!
Agree with other users - why is this so difficult to install? (my issue was an allen key that was long enough to not make it a pain so once you got a good groove going you could just keep going) :) I was a little annoyed with the price but it's so necessary when trying to take solo trips and balance everything we need.

Good but...
Good shipping and easy to install. However, when I opened the package there was a huge bold notice that this stand doesn't support the weehoo when a child is in it. And it does not. It works great for storage of the trailer and also for set up its helpful. But you're still juggling trying to out your child in the trailer- and it's best if you have two people. I was very disappointed that Weehoo withheld this notice until they had shipped me the product. Not great marketing.It's great for what it's intended to do- support and empty weehoo trailer. If that's what you need, great option. If you're looking for an assist to get you child in your trailer, don't buy it.

Solve my problem...
This kickstand really helps loading and unloading my kid.Makes things easy and nice since i got no kickstand on my bike.Althought there's a warning,not for loading kid.Highly recommended to those with the weehoo trailer.
