I've been wanting to get one because no one will **** with you if you have a trailor that looks like it holds little kids. I would obviously put my stuff in it too, but no cars honk, cut you off, make careless turns if they think you have a 3 yearold in your car. No one likes a cyclist, everyone likes a family man.
As I start across an intersection, on the crosswalk, with the signal, people would blatantly turn right in front of me like they were going to miss the light. They could see me, they just made it obvious their needs were more important to them than mine.

I have a kid trailer I use to go grocery shopping and other chores that my panniers can't handle. I recently helped move a dresser 1.2 miles down the road by folding the trailer down and lashing the dresser to the trailer. It was a pleasant ride and I would for sure do it again.
