I didn’t even need to bring front panniers, or a rear basket in place of my trunk bag 🤭

The trailer is a Wike City Cargo.

    Nice!

    I honestly just use my kid trailer, which can haul up to 100lbs/two kids. I put heavy stuff on the seats, and it conveniently has straps to keep bulky things like toilet paper from moving. Liquids and crushable things go in the panniers so they don’t get punctured or crushed.

    I haven’t weighed my biggest loads, but I have done Costco and auto parts (e.g. battery) runs before. So for others who might have a kiddie trailer laying around, give it a shot! It’s not as convenient as an actual cargo trailer, but it gets t job done.

      I always wondered if a kid trailer can be used to haul non-kid stuff. Thanks for sharing that. 👌

        Smaller ones (e.g. designed for one kid) can probably only do 50lbs or so, but the larger ones for two kids can usually do 100lbs.

          Yeah, we were looking at a few different models for the grandkids, and they all seem to have good weight ratings for the double kid version.
