The inverted pendulum isn't something I had thought of, it makes sense though.

Ahh the things we will carry to not use a car.

I have been using the kid trailer and then using a huge carabiner to hook up a granny cart of groceries to the trailer frame and then hooking the handles of the cheap umbrella stroller to the top cross member. I will try to remember a photo one of these days.
