Default What do you call "faux tandem" for kids?

I want to do some online research, but I don't know what to google
for. I visit a couple bicycle store web sites, to no avail.

By the way, if you have any experience with one, I'm all ears. I want
to know how they attach; how easy they are to connect and disconnect.


Trail-a-bike.

The hitch is semi-permanently attached to the seat post - you can get
them separately if you have more than one bike you want to use with
the TaB. There's a socket on the end of the trail-a-bike that slips
over that part, then a spring pin goes through to secure it. It's a
matter of seconds to connect it each time. I lost or had stolen
several of the pins over the years, but my bike shop gave me a
replacement one, and I was able to find them at a hardware store
later.

Two options that aren't talked about much are a mirror for the
parent's bike and fenders for both.
