When I had kids I had a Chariot trailer that did double duty for groceries etc. It was great and my kids loved being in the trailer. I used it everyday to take them to daycare and school. When they outgrew the trailer it was a little big and cumbersome to use just for utility purposes, so I sold it.

I bought a BoB and it just wasn't a good fit for me. Hard to get in and out of the apartment with my bike etc. So I sold that one pretty quick.

Now I have a Burley Travoy trailer and this has to be the best trailer for utility use. It double as a shopping cart and then attaches to your bike. I can wheel my bike and trailer into the elevator without a problem. For car free living this is the way to go for me. I have even used it for my commute to take in clean clothes for the week and pick up a some groceries on the way home.

Before I bought this I toyed with the idea of a Kona Ute, but I decided for the same money I could buy a bike and the trailer and it would be more versatile. Sometimes you just don't need the Ute when you want to take a ride to get a coffee. Those bikes are huge and you have to deal with the storage issue. The Travoy folds up into its own bag when you don't need it.

In the end, if you are even considering putting your child into a trailer go with one designed for that. Much safer. You can always sell it when they grow out of it.
