bike trailer

[lil96]

what's a good bike trailer? I don't know what to look for. things I would to have:
stability
easy to attach
converts to jogger
(easily, no tools required and the jogger wheel is somehow ontained within the unit kwim?),
storage space
preferable something with 2 seperate seats, a lot of the reviews I have read complained the kids were in a sling and leaned towards each.
i am looking to buy it while in USA (I live in Germany) when I am visiting, so I won't have tons of time to look at them. I have only seen Burleys here.

We have this one http://burley.com/products/child/dlite.cfm
We got it at our local bike shop a bit cheaper too. I also see them at resale shops.

We really like this one though. It is easy to pull and easy to put on. I can't remember, but I think you need one tool.

the burleys are nice, they offer somwhat of a suspension and are more stable than the cheaper ones, but i don't know if any come with the stroller wheel contained within the unit...

It came with it, but we have to put it on if we want to use it as a stroller. Which honestly we never have so no idea how easy it is to push or take the wheel on or off.

I am also shopping for a bike trailer. Can you tell me what you like about the Chariots compared to other brands? I think I have it narrowed down between Chariot and Trek.

Chariot carriers ride very smoothly. They attach easily but securely, have a mud flap to prevent dirt and spray from getting to the passengers, and convert to a stroller, jogging stroller, ski trailer, or hiking trailer quite easily.

The ride/suspension is great.
