I'm would like to buy DH a bike trailer for Father's Day. Can anyone recommend a brand or tell me what you like/don't like about yours? I'm not exactly sure what I should be looking for. Thanks!

We got a good deal on a Burley, but we looked into Chariots too. Our Burley fits two and it works fine, but the seats aren't structured at all, so both of my kids sometimes end up leaning on each other.
I have been riding with DD in a Burley Encore for the last few weeks. It is their middle of the road model. The seat can recline, it can hold one or two kids, it has a rain cover and a sun shield. I have pulled it as far as 20 miles; pulling that thing is no joke. I'm not sure what you are pulling it with, but If you live in a hilly area, you may or may not have low enough gears to get a 'real' ride in. I have been pulling it with my road bike, but if it were hilly here, I might have to use my mountain bike to get low enough gearing to pull the trailer up hills. Anyway, I'm happy with it so far for pulling one 29 lb toddler.
