Ride smart.
Cool, visible bike flags. Often found in bike store selling recumbents.

Different types of lights on trailer. Rear bike lights and battery operated weather resistant LED christmas lights worked well for us.
Also use a quality rear view mirror such as Mirrycle so that you can visually check kiddo and traffic conditions behind.
