We have a Chariot trailer and our daughter likes it fine; we use it on the bike trail exclusively, usually for rides over 10 miles. We are about to get a Wee Ride front child seat for around town, though, because it's too hard to lock the trailer up at the grocery store, etc. (And the Chariot with accessories costs about $500, so I'm not leaving it unlocked.)

I like the idea of a front-mounted child seat but the idea of mounting it to the stem gives me the willies. We're going to put this one on a mixte with albatross bars. I see these around town a lot and it really seems like a great setup.

I like both trailers and seats ... I think they serve different purposes.
