If WD-40 doesn't free it up, then it's probably not salvagable. Can you move the TAL collar to your road bike? Or swap seats and seat posts? (assuming the road bike has appropriate gear to pull the tag-along).

Deb - I tried to move the collar to my road bike but the stems much smaller in diameter. It came with different adaptors for stem diameters but the other ones are in storage - somewhere! That's one of the things I was looking for last night.
I'll try the WD 40 tonight and see what kind of luck I have. Thanks!Dar

Why not simply replace the chain (and any other parts that are rusted), and take better care of the bike next time!

I just realized why it rusted. I took it for a spin this winter and didn't wipe it down afterward - can we say road salt??
Bad bike mamma...
So yes, I can definitely take better care of him
And a new bike chain it a pretty inexpensive fix to make sure all it well while biking with my son.

When I asked my LBS to change out my old rusted chain I was told since I haven't replaced the chain in so long it will skip unless I replace the cassette (?) as well.
