SLADDA Bicycle trailer - IKEA

I don't own one but I like how it is built. Seems very sturdy whe I looked at it at the loacal IKEA store
However I don't like the fact that you cannot haul stuff in the rain without water proofing the cargo itself. The Burley Nomad or any converted child trailer offer better protection from the elements. If I ever go for such a trailer type I will probably get a used child carrier and convert it into a cargo carrier.
Also most child trailers fold flat for storage. The IKEA trailer does not. You can take the wheels off but the basket does not fold once assembled.
