if you don't get a ghetto trailer, then your passenger will like the ride better, and as a result you will also enjoy the ride more.
take into account that a good trailer can often be resold after you use it at a cost less than junking a formerly-new-cheap-but-now-old-ghetto trailer.
alternately for many people, quit buying a daily latte at Starbucks for 6 months and it'll more than have paid for a proper trailer, which in turn will reap a better dividend for parents and their children... i'm just saying.
