I on the other hand have no reservations about transporting my children in a trailer. Cars give me more room when I have a trailer, and I'm more visible. I have a slow moving vehicle triangle mounted about chest height on the trailer that adds daytime and nighttime visibility.

I have a tandem that my older son rides on with me or my wife, and the Trail-A-Bike that I use with my daughter, as she is almost too big for the carrier.

I'm fighting my protective instinct half the time, but my logical mind usually wins and I put the bubble wrap back on the shelf for another day. I try to remember everything I did as a kid and wonder if I would be a wuss if I hadn't done those things. That's usually what makes me let my kids do things, even though I want to protect them.
