Child Bicycle Trailers
Your child will be seated, strapped in, and usually enclosed in a zippered compartment while traveling. Get a hybrid model (with a third well) and the trailer will double up as a stroller as well.
Child bicycle trailers are normally constructed out of a rigid frame with the compartment enclosed in durable fabric, and are designed within safety standards that will protect your child in minor mishaps. Your child must, however, still wear a bike helmet at any time he or she is being towed around.

Certification
There is no certification program by an independent organization for these products, although the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has developed a voluntary standard for rear-mounted bicycle child carriers and bicycle trailers designed for people. A manufacturer may test to the requirements of that standard and certify that the product meets it.
Best advice is to buy a trailer that meets all ASTM standards.
Do not take you kid out on a child bicycle trailer (or even a child bike seat) until he or she is at least a year old. Children under the age of one cannot support their head properly with a helmet on, which all riders should wear.Trailers are "off-road vehicles"; use them only in parks and on safe, smooth trails where there's no risk of encounters with cars. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the maximum weight, which is usually up to 100 pounds.
Trailers are also wider than the bike, so they take up more of the roadway. If you're riding on the shoulder, the trailer can stick out into the road if you're not careful. And trailers can tip over if you turn abruptly or turn when one wheel is going over a bump. As you speed up, braking becomes harder, especially on wet surfaces. Trailers can become snagged on bushes or other objects.
Be conscious that you have a kid in tow at all times. If you're an infrequent rider then ride with only one child at a time. Have your child wear a lightweight, well-fitting bike helmet and make sure that you kid is strapped in properly. Flaying hands and loose fingers may get entangled in the wheels of other moving parts of the trailer or your bicycle.
Hybrid bicycle trailer models that can be converted to strollers have been available for a while now. With the rise in popularity to jogging strollers and high expectation from consumers, the innovation is getting better and better. There are swivel wheel options and fixed wheel options while some offer both. Swivel wheels make it easy to turn on a dime and swivel around a store, mall, street fair, etc., and, as expected, the fixed wheel option is better off on the beach.
