That would certainly not last long as a bicycle trailer.

NO in capital font. Not even for hauling itself.

this would be better , but then you need to get a custom made towbar to hook it to your bike
cost would come up to a real bike trailer then

The link below is for a low cost bike trailer. The lowest I was able to find. Not the best but you get what you pay for. Even at that it is a better choice than trying to rig up something with a non bike trailer or wagon. Compare the price with the cost of rigging something up.

Robot Check
That certainly looks decent.

I don't consider that foldy thingie good for anything but car2building. Flat surface only, concrete, linoleum, etc. Light cargo. Walking speed. Utterly worthless in the back yard. Pretty much worthless on a sidewalk (cracks in same) or a normal street (cracks in same).

The small wheels will have problems with holes and other surface irregularities. The big (20") wheel bike trailer is a huge improvement.
