Single-Wheel Trailers
Single-wheel trailers are ideal for carrying small to medium loads (up to 77 pounds). The single wheel reduces friction on the road and allows the trailer to lean into turns with the bicycle, so you never have to sacrifice speed when pulling one. However, they do lack space and may not be able to accommodate a large load of groceries or laundry as a two-wheel trailer can.

Two-Wheel Trailers
Trailers with two wheels have a more stable base, making it possible to carry more cargo; some can hold up to 260 pounds. Wider trailers also distribute the weight of your load to each wheel, relieving some of the work on the bicycle. However, due to their width, cyclists must take extra care when pulling a two-wheel trailer, especially when turning and in narrow paths.

Child Passengers
Special trailers designed to maximize safety are best for bringing along a child passenger. They may be outfitted with safety straps, durable frames and zip-in enclosures made of thick protective fabric. Many such trailers also have a lower center of gravity as an added measure against potential rolling.
