I agree with the other posters in regard to having the right trailer for both jobs. A dedicated kid carrier would be better designed and safer for carrying your children in, however, it would not be idea for commuting. I purchased the Travoy back in early Spring for commuting and cannot say enough about it. When not in use the trailer folds up into a 2'x3'x6" package and hangs in my garage. It is ideal for those daily errands like grocery shopping or even runs to the big, big box store.

All this being said, if you plan to haul A LOT of cargo and weight, the Bikes At Work trailers are your best bet. Good luck.
