It folds flat and we're talking about taking it to store our stuff in when we do multi-day trips. It's also REALLY easy to pull. <BR/><BR/>When the kids outgrow the trailer, can I recommend the Trailgator? We have two (also from Nashbar), and we love them. It turns the kid's bike into a trailer bike, so the kid can ride under their own power part of the way and be pulled the rest. Or they can pedal and help the forward effort (always appreciated). <BR/><BR/>Both have been invaluable tools to my bike-riding family.Susan Helene Gottfriedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12778191943289129869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182637902470922928.post-56156956545373689242008-08-10T04:29:00.000-08:002008-08-10T04:29:00.000-08:00You will so love a bike trailer! Your daughter looks to be the perfect age to really get a lot of use out of one. Don't forget to check cheapcycle, yahoo groups,craigslist, or resale stores. I know bike trailers and the like to be impulse buys and rarely used and then sold cheap.Thaleiawww.carseatchick.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182637902470922928.post-80288368160025566072008-08-04T16:35:00.000-08:002008-08-04T16:35:00.000-08:00Wonderful idea, because familes are very special.Maehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06263606306221412531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182637902470922928.post-37541318338806482772008-08-04T12:33:00.000-08:002008-08-04T12:33:00.000-08:00loved your family moment monday.. even tho i don't have a family, i can appreciate the work you are doing.. thanks for stopping by!! i soooo appreciated it!Elainehttp://wonderstruck.com/What.the/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182637902470922928.post-16817472051411727332008-08-04T11:29:00.000-08:002008-08-04T11:29:00.000-08:00I think it's a great idea to help include the kids in the planning once they're old enough. Gives them a sense of power over the event, but gives them a good sense of pride that they helped contribute and plan the event or the purchase of the item.Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13160551209809872319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182637902470922928.post-47696803422723680022008-08-04T08:34:00.000-08:002008-08-04T08:34:00.000-08:00I love this idea!

Don't forget to lock it up. I know that seems like simple advice, but with four kids to keep track of I have been known to forget -and had my trailer stolen. Actually, I've had two trailers stolen. The first time was in a "safe neighborhood" no less.mormonhermitmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10273403409277178248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182637902470922928.post-68230957155270443502008-08-03T19:57:00.000-08:002008-08-03T19:57:00.000-08:00Technically my post is from Sunday, I hope that's ok, but I think it's a great one to share!<BR/><BR/>I have a tip for buying a bicycle trailer, don't buy a single, even if it's for one child, the extra space is wonderful, for a friend, stuffed animals, etc. Think of it as an investment (we love our Burley).EatPlayLovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01768078593549284605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182637902470922928.post-43532963072827349942008-08-03T19:56:00.000-08:002008-08-03T19:56:00.000-08:00I love this idea!
