Tell me about your bike trailer.

hmm, I always thought the weeride would be a tad scary being right up the front?
I have seen a few people with the trailers on the bike trail near us, but not sure what kind they use.

We have one off Ebay. It was only about $150. Our treatment isn't that rough of it though and it only gets occasional use. I agree with Scone, even though DS could go in it before 1 due to him being quite strong he hated it and has only started to love it recently. We went with a trailer because we have 2 kids that need to go if DH rides and so the Weeride wasn't suitable for us.
In regards to the spray ours has a cover if it's wet and a net cover for everyday use so they can't chuck stuff out.
You can get infants helmets. We just got ours at the bike shop I think.
For a smaller bub though a seat would be far better as there is no support in the trailer. They have to be able to support themselves. It's a very basic seatbelt system. I put some old pram strap covers on DS's so it didn't cut into his neck.

we got ours from Kmart..
it has been great although i also have a bike seat on my bike.. it takes some getting used to and i agree that you do get more space with it on the roads although when im loaded up with the kids im more likely to stay on the paths..

Scary for them, or scary for you? I can't imagine it would be scary for them - they're at the same height as a hip or sling carry, and lower speed than going in the car.

For me, the fear of a trailer flipping is far worse than anything that could happen on the actual bike. DH has flipped ours twice, and he is a very experienced rider.

We have a pacific trailer... love it!! We have had it for many years and I have recently rode it all through pregnancy with no hassles. I think bub needs to be about 12 months old to ensure efficient neck strength for the helmet, and for the lack of susspension on the trailer/bike.

ETA, our Trailer isn't flipable (not sure that is a word lol). I have fallen off and it stays on both wheels.

I flipped our trailor with nothing in it.. i dont think it would have flipped with DS in it
