Alfster-I love the idea of having a trailer. Should have thought of that! How heavy is it and easy to maneuver around stairs? (I live in an walkup apartment.)

badmother- That's a terrific bike! Did you retro fit it yourself? And your dog is adorable!

PomPilot- I've seen these for babies, but never dogs. Just might consider getting one, but not sure if the doggie is going to grow any bigger. That could be a funny sight though carrying a 25+ lbs dog strapped to my tummy
.
I posted a video of our first ride with the trailer in the General Discussion Forum ... http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...a-bike-trailer . I should have remembered to post it here instead. Oops.

The trailer folds up to a manageable size. Should be easy to carry up stairs. It weights 24 lbs. However someone posted a link to a MUCH cheaper trailer from Nashbar that looks very similar to the one I purchased. You might want to check that one out instead.
