Check the spreadsheet at the bottom of this page for many Trailer options: https://sites.google.com/site/bicycletrain/trailers
I would get one with more legroom if your daughter is tall. She will be more comfortable. I have a Kidarooz (same as Croozer) and it would work fine for what you need.
Here's a couple of local used options for you to try it out:
$45 I also have a mastercycle. This is lower end but works well. offer $35: http://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/bik/2805461487.html
$300 Cougar chariot ( I have the trek version), nice. offer $250 : http://worcester.craigslist.org/bab/2792606602.html
$125 Kidarooz (same as croozer 525) sold at costco for $164 in 2009. offer $100 :http://boston.craigslist.org/nwb/bab/2801880395.html

Some things to think about:
Tire size, 20in is better
Space for the helmet so it doesn't get pushed forward.
Height of handlebar (you mentioned you are tall)
Jogger could mean front wheel only goes straight,
Stroller wheels will turn.
Bright color fabric is better for visibility
Parking Brake/ or jogging break? Walking down a steep hill with two children would need a brake.

Most of the trailers are a breeze to take on and off. (10 seconds) And the stroller/jogger connection should take a minute. Also most trailers fold really flat in a few seconds.
