How much do those trailers weigh? Gonna get one eventually once I got a kid

This one ways just shy of 30lbs. I’ve found that the range of weights is generally around 20-30lbs depending on the type of trailer.

I’m excited to take it out. Will provably just take the baby for a walk in it with a helmet on to get her used to it at first though.

Let us know how it goes! Also, what age can you start taking babies in these things? Working on the baby part now.

I think most people say around 10-12 months, and I guess some places have laws surrounding it. Some people take younger babies but it usually requires some sort of additional baby seat.

I outgrew panniers for groceries a while back and bought a cargo trailer. I knew it was time when I had to tie a reusable grocery bag to the side of the panniers to get all my poo poo home one time.

It's legit one of the best things I've ever bought tho.

While we're on the subject of panniers, I'm curious what folks use for groceries. I picked up these a couple years back and they work great (albeit less so for 12-packs of soda), except the S hook is too small for the girth of the rack on my new Allant. I've seen trailers in use that would probably be a little more viable for large grocery runs, though now that the rack has proven unusable for these and not great for another pannier I've got, I'm worried I'll wind up buying and returninga bunch of stuff.

I bought a cargo trailer and never looked back personally. One of my best purchases.

A trailer would probably best fit my soda-hauling needs, though need to look into finding one that's sufficiently collapsible for my limited storage space.

A Burley Nomad collapses pretty good. The top part of the frame collapses and the tow arm + wheels can be stored inside. These days I just hang mine up on the wall by the tow arm though.

Yeah I was also gonna say I would not ride between them. I'd just pass on the grass.

1x is fashionable right now.

I see enough complaints about the Enviolo hubs on reddit (although mainly in the context of cargo bikes) that I'm pretty suspicious of them.
