Question How long will my kiddy trailer last?

I bought a used $50 Instep kiddy trailer a while back.

It was fun getting it up and running and I've got good use out of it for the last 2 years.

However, rounding a corner last week, I bumped one of the wheels, which proceeded to let go. The trailer was full of groceries, so I had to struggle to get everything back together. But I did and kept going.

My question is, how long should I expect to get out of this rig? I'm concerned because I don't have a car and right now it is very convenient to use the trailer to get food to the house. I think it's much better than panniers.

Should I be thinking of something more durable? If so, what?
