What trailer to buy?

Wife and I bought a burley tandem (Rivazza /w carbon fork) last year (July) and love it (got 600 miles on it). Now we have a problem or a miracle depending on how you look it. Boy due in May, which was unexpected because we had given up after 3 failed attempts. Now I am a cyclist of 15 years, my wife is a newbie. I told her we should sell the tandem and she almost cried (cool for me!!!). So that being said we are looking to buy a trailer for next fall or early summer 2007. Usage will be mostly road, and some fireroad (with my mountian bike). If the kid likes the trailer we are hoping to get between 1-2 hour rides in.

Based on the info above where does a guy get info and ratings on a trailer. If you have had experience with one let me know. I know a lot about burly since I own a burley tandem but know nothing about the other brands. Are there good resoruces on the web for research. Was thinking about ebaying a trailer since we don't have tons of money with the kid comming.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

PS Sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forum. The "family & recreation" section does not get much traffic.

Thanks!
