trailer tips or recommendations?

Do any of you use a trailer on your folder?

I'm thinking about getting one, mainly for shopping (think bags of cat litter, beverage crates - so 40-50kg/90-110 lbs capacity good) but also for day trips (picknick kind of thing, some trail riding), and it would be good to hear any thoughts and tips.

I was looking a Burley but now I'm gravitating toward the lower-priced Carry Me Freedom, not certain on the size yet. The flatbed style looks more versatile. EUR 300 is probably the threshhold of pain, pricewise. Must be foldable for storage.

Is a kickstand necessary on a bike used for towing?

The bike I'd be using is a Nexus three-speed set up as 'normal-low-lower' (low gear of 36 gear inches I think) - does that sound feasible for a fairly flat area? Any issues with fitting the hitch on a solid axle?
