I had purchased another item like this but it was too hard for my passenger to use because they had to lean forward too much to be able to reach the handles and it hurt their back. This one looked better because it has handles much further around my sides so my passenger doesn¡¯t have to lean forward so much. Well i can say after going for a ride today with my passenger on board it is much better. They were able to ride quite comfortably whilst still feeling safe.
