I think I understand the physics but it's pretty severe. I pulled both my daughters, even up to the time they were 7 and 4 years old, and I mean I pulled them simultaneously, so that's a bigger load than a 60 pound dog. I just don't remember the oscillation being this severe. Maybe my memory is off. I pulled my daughters in an Equinox trailer. The construction looks similar. In fact, this Burley looks better than (my memory of) the Equinox, but I can't say for sure. I haven't had the Equinox since 2003, and I hadn't used it in a while when I stupidly gave it away.
