Bike Trailer Recs?

I'd like to get DH a bike trailer for his bike so we can go riding as a family next summer. Are there any you'd recommend? Any you'd stay away from? Anythink I should look for/think of before I buy?

@dreamingbabies I'd also like a double one...and I'll wait and get a helmet for LO in the spring when we want to use it so we make sure it fits!

We use this seat with DD, but will likely get a double trailer to bike with both kids. https://www.amazon.com/iBert-Safe-T-Seat-Front-Child-38-Pounds/dp/B0048MB82A/ref=sr_1_7?s=cycling&ie=UTF8&qid=1414287911&sr=1-7

I'll be watching this thread. This is what I want for Christmas! I went from being an almost daily bike rider pre-pregnancy to not riding a single time since then.

That's us too. We weren't daily riders, but several times a week. I got an awesome new bike about 10 days before my bfp, and I only used it a handful of times after. I'm nervous to use a bike trailer alone, but maybe I'll get over it.

I'm absolutely a huge fan of the InStep bike trailer....very high quality for the price. There's no weight shift and any of the common issues found with bike trailer...fits our mountain and road bikes.

Something to keep in mind - babies are not supposed to ride in bike trailers until 1 year. I don't know what I am going to do this summer. I usually ride everywhere I can in the summertime with DD. Having to drive everywhere is going to be annoying.

Never mind. I didn't realize what board I was on. All your babies will definitely be old enough.

I'm a little bit lol-ing that a rando came out of hiding to talk about bike trailers. But whatever floats your goat, I guess.
