I'm not saying you might not still need to use a car sometimes (check carefully about when it is OK for a baby's head/neck/spine to bounce around in a trailer), but in any case, Good on ya!
The general rule of thumb is not before a year... but as with all things baby-related, this will depend on the baby. Our son was doing short trailer rides at 10 months or so. Our tiny little girl was a little after a year, maybe 13 months.
BUT I know Chariot makes car seat holders for their single trailers... or you could just take that car seat base and bolt it to the front of your Bakfiets.
