Here's mine I built on an old Pacific Cycles Kid trailer (now InStep) we purchased from a thrift store nearly 18 years ago. I used the kid carrier as a beach/fishing cart after my 3 children were to big to be carried in it. About three years ago the fabric was frayed and brittle and the cruddy 16 inch tires had seen better days. I took the trailer apart and saved all the misc nuts and bolts along with the frame. Repurposed a platform I made out of Meranti plywood to carry snow ski's on top of our Traverse; cut it down to fit the PC frame, added sides and built two wheels using the 26"tire/rim sets off an old Mtn bike and 2 Maillard rear hubs I had lying around. I also added rod carriers and a flag mount. Tow bike is a Raleigh Technium 440 I converted to a single speed last year. Enjoy the pics!
