My kids love it! Posted 8/23/2012 by Leya B
We ordered this after seeing it on Kickstarter, and we had to wait a while to get it...but the wait was worth it. This product is super simple, and the only reason it got a 4 is that it's really easy to lose the little black rubber pieces that help it hold on to the bike. it would be better if these were attached, or if there was a pocket/drawer to store them in when not needed. Other than that, this is awesome! The chalk is super simple to install, and we've used the Chalktrail on both my daughters balance bike and my 5 year olds 2-wheeler.
A fun toy with limited uses Posted 10/22/2012 by Easy
Yesterday we got the Chalktrail out of the box and used it for the first time. The instructions were short and well written, but we had a little trouble getting the two pieces of each leg to slide together - tapping with a little plastic toy hammer and stepping on it with my foot helped with that. I also got chalk on my hands and pants loading it up, but I guess that's to be expected. We biked over to Sunday Streets, a monthly event in San Francisco where they open up several blocks of a street for people to walk and bike on. This was the perfect environment for Chalktrail! My 2.5 year old immediately started chasing after me, following the trail. If only we always had a way to make him move so fast! With no cars on the streets I didn't have to worry about him getting hit, and I could zig-zag, make spirals, and do other patterns. I don't think I'd ever do that on a street with cars - just in a schoolyard or something. We got lots of positive comments, ran into a few friends who we let try it on their bikes, and even picked up other kids following us by foot or bike. We even managed to get a disapproving look from a police officer - awesome! My bike is fairly big, and because of that it didn't seem like I could get the chalk angled down enough. That might be why it didn't leave a very thick trail - sometimes it was hard to see. Still, I managed to go through 2/3rds of a piece of chalk in the span of a 10 blocks (with all my loops), so hopefully replacement chalk will be affordable.
Product review of Chalktrail® Posted 1/17/2013 by Rachel
We bought this as a birthday gift for our 7-year-old who is a somewhat reluctant bike rider. She loves it! On first use at a nearby playground with a paved trail, she quickly attracted the attention of a pack of kids all clamoring to take a turn making a colored trail. Several parents asked where we purchased it. It was very easy to attach to her bike and lend out for others to attach to theirs. Only con I can see is that after about 30 minutes of steady use we have already used up half the chalk (we bought the replacement pack of 4 extra chalk sticks). The chalk itself is thicker than regular sidewalk chalk so we'll have to purchase more online, but otherwise this is a great product and we've been very happy with it.

Great toy. Very fun and encourages outdoor activity. Brings life back to an old toy.
Such a neat product! Posted 9/11/2012 by Alicia Pollock
We love our Chalktrails and have a lot of fun with them. As I mom I know where they went once they leave the house. Mine arrived in the mail the very day my son learned how to ride his bike, so it was a great incentive and reward. I have a few problems with them - the chalk falls out easily. Some just are sized wrong for the holders so we twist them to keep them in place. But the bummer is that they frequently fall out when you hit a bump in the sidewalk, so we spend WAY to much time either reinserting the chalk, or occasionally the back clip.

I got the chalktrail for my seven year old daughter for her birthday as she rides her bike daily during the warm weather months. She was thrilled with the idea of the chalktrail and immediately made us install it on her bike. It worked well on smooth sidewalks, but not so much on our cracked and more bumpy street, so I can't give it a full five stars. However, we still think it's a great idea, and its ease of installation means our youngest daughter will be able to use it, too, on her little bike. I imagine we'll be getting a second one for her so that they both can have one for when we take rides on the paved trail by our house.
great toy Posted 1/15/2013
Unique toy that gets kids outside again
Great gift Posted 9/30/2012 by Megan - RELATIVE
I purchased this as a gift for my 5 year old niece. She and her little sister love to play with sidewalk chalk. I talked about the purchase with several other parents of younger children, and THEY were excited about the toy. It is a great idea! Once my niece realized we hadn't actually bought her a bike for her birthday, she seemed really impressed with the idea. Her mother was even more excited. She was hopeful that this would be the incentive to get my niece to learn how to ride her bike. They were very eager to try it out the next sunny day. A week later, we were at their house, and there was chalk all over the drive way. Two weeks later, the first stick of chalk was a much smaller size. Even my younger niece seemed excited about using the Chalktrail as she was telling me about her sister playing with it. I wish there were more colors, and my sister-in-law said it was a little hard to put together at first. Other than that, this is a great toy, and I will be purchasing it again as a gift for the other kids in my life.

What a wonderful entertaining toy for my 6 year old boy. He loves to bike in circles to watch his creations unfold! He is even able to put his chalk tail on and off his bike himself.
good product Posted 12/3/2012 by Tracy - RELATIVE
Lots of fun and encourages kids to learn better control of the bike to draw the picture they want! Very easy to use (does not require an adults help to put on/take off the bike, add more chalk) but make sure when putting on the chalk holder to put it on the right way because it is hard to get off if you don't!
My rating of Chalktrail® Posted 3/28/2013
The device itself works well. But it only comes with one stick of chalk and that is used up *very* quickly. Thank goodness is ordered the pack of an extra four sticks to go along with the basic device. Otherwise it would have been a very disappointing gift for my 6 yr old granddaughter.

My daughter loves this toy and has had great fun with it at the playground. Relatively easy to assemble. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it was hard to snap the pieces together and they didn't ultimately fit, although we were still able to make it work.

She just got it for Christmas yesterday and can't wait to use it. I wish it used standard sidewalk chalk, however.
Great Idea

I have to admit, our northeast late winter hasn't given us a whole lot of time to check this toy out. My guess though is that once the snow is finally gone for good, this will be a hit with our 3 little ones and we'll probably have to buy 2 more.
