I am planning on buying a trailer for my husband and myself to take my kids
to school, and also for lovely summer rides. I also want to get fit!

Could you please share your experience of them?

I have Trek's 2 seat trailer and bought an extra hitch so both my wife
and I have a hitch on each of our bicycles. The kids love it. I've
towed my daughter and son all the way across town and back. My son is
too big for both of them to ride in it together now.

As Scott notes, you can really feel the drag in the wind, and uphills
are tougher.

I tipped the trailer once, when I was being goofy and going in circles
in front of my house. My daughter (4 yrs old) was a little angry at me
for that, but uninjured. She brings dolls and coloring books. For
longer rides she'll have a drink and maybe a snack with her.

It's a kid trailer, not a cargo trailer, but I also use the trailer
for grocery trips.

This website sells trailers, but they have good consumer information
and reviews also:
