Why? Because the way our trailer attaches it does not react well when the bike is layed on its side. It puts alot of undue stress on the trailer joint. And often times we encounter situations where there isn't anything sufficient to easily lean the bike on. It is especially hard since it is much more difficult to manevuer the bike with a loaded trailer attached.

So in this case the click stand would be excellent. Stop, unfold, unload kids. Well worth the $$ and few extra grams of weight.
