Meh, I've never found one of the heads that does both schrader and presta on the same hole to work as well as the two port design. They also don't work with smaller wheels. Hopefully it works well for you.
Can you point me to other pumps with this style head? (one hole for both schrader and Presta) I've only seen the two-hole design. I'd like to read and compare the bad one-hole reviews to this one-hole head pump, which is getting great reviews.
I'm just going by what I've used. I tried out a half dozen or so of the one-hole pumps and they were all horrible. On smaller wheels, they simply won't fit.
Here's a couple

Aside from the hole fitting strangely and needing more force to connect, the fact the lock flips up gets in the way on smaller wheels - it will never lock on because it can't flip up high enough.
Ahhh. I see what you mean. Trekbikes video @ 1:22. Thanks. That's a pretty tall flip lever.
The pump needs to work with smaller kids bike tires. I guess I could use an extension hose like below? To really get into tight areas(?).
The original bicycle pump I linked to had a pretty fat/wide head. The lever lock is on the side. So it looks like that won't be a problem for small tires.
The Lezyne Classic Floor Drive Pump has a nice compact head. But it's double the cost at $60. https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/reviews/b...loor-drive
Extension hose:
Yeah, the head on mine is the same as the first one you posted, and it works fine on 12" Bob wheels even. They sell an adapter to put on, similar to the hose you posted, to help with that. I don't want the extra steps.
The Lezynes are nice, but you have to screw and unscrew the head to make it work. Might as well just use a presta to schrader adapter. Also, when I was looking at the Lezynes that screw on, they had a tendency of unscrewing presta valves when you take them off.
