I am having the toughest time choosing a bike trailer. I am not a serious biker, I only own a cruiser bike, but I live in a community where I can bike to most things and would like to use my car as little as possible this summer. I only have once child, but want a double trailer for the future. Storage room is important (I want to take it to the grocery store) and it must convert to a stroller (though converting to a jogger would be nice too). I purchased the Baby Jogger Tailwind for a steal of a price and LOVED it, great quality, very sturdy and well built, but it doesn't convert to a stroller so I returned it. I would love a Burley or Chariot, but I only want to spend about $300-350 total on the trailer. I've thought about the Burley Honey Bee or Chariot Caddie but I know the Caddie doesn't have much storage and I haven't had any luck finding a used one in my area.
Do you have one that you'd recommend? I want one that will last me through a couple kids, though I don't plan to do long rides with it (mostly around town, but probably every day in the summer). I feel like I've researched this to death and can't find one that is a great quality AND a great price.
TIA!
