My seatpost isn't up very far either so that doesn't worry me. I've a Crossrack that has carried 40 lbs with no problems. Leoho5, does yours have the hitch that attaches with two bolts but has a little lock lever and quick release over the pin? I don't care if the hitch stays on the seatpost, I just want to be able to remove the trailer without tools to go in and out of stores. It seems like that is how the travoy works (now). And my bike friday does not require me to lower the seat to fold, which I do with the crossrack attachment still on it all the time.

As for quick release, you may be able to replace the two hitch bolts with 2 separate quick releases which would enable the hitch to quickly be slid off the bottom end of the seatpost provided that your seatpost is able to be pulled out of the seat tube.
