1. The smallest person has the most "stuff". Bottles, diapers, toys, change of clothes - a trailer will have enough space for carrying all that necessary baby stuff.
2. I think that trailers are safer. They have a much lower center of gravity and you're less likely to kick the baby when you swing your leg to get off the bike.
The trailers scare me a little, get visions of some idiot in an SUV rear ending the bicycle with a wheel on top of the trailer, moaning about how they didn't see me, even with the trailer flags. I guess it's all a couple of years away though, by November cycling season is over here, so it would be spring 2013 at the earliest....
