Not gonna way over here. In a non-medieval city like Toronto perhaps, but just about anywhere in Europe, with the exception of NL/S/NO/SE, trailers are way too wide/cumbersome. I'm going the usually route of front kid seat and rear Römer Jockey as it gets older. I'll evaluate the backpack/kid seat combo in 18 months, which could make me change my mind.
