Ryan -  I don&#39;t think you&#39;re off on this subject at all! An infant too young could easily be injured (even if not visibly) while in a trailer. I do however think it can depend if you have a cheap trailer vs. a model with shock absorption features etc. Also if you are on a newly paved road vs. an older bumpy road. Continual shaking of a newborn on a bike ride is not something I&#39;d recommend though.<br>
<br>Bob - Child carriers are an absolute MUST for mom and dad to have! They have those you&#39;ve linked and also slings/mei tai are options as well. They&#39;re great for any time you need free hands, happy babies, and hiking of course. As far as putting it into a bike trailer for security.. I can&#39;t recommend that as they can be unsturdy, bulky, and may not fit in properly.<br>
<br>I&#39;ve seen dozens of parents come to the downtown farmers market with infants in trailers under 12 months! I haven&#39;t done it myself, but have been commuting with my toddler for a almost a full year now. I&#39;d stick with a Chariot for an infant and then Burley as a runner up for trailer choices. <br>
<br>Chariot makes a baby supporter for infants 3 -18 months.<br><a href="http://www.chariotcarriers.com/english/html/accessories.php?accID=3">http://www.chariotcarriers.com/english/html/accessories.php?accID=3</a><br><br>
Burley makes a baby snuggler for infants 3-12 months.<br><a href="http://www.burley.com/products/accessories/index.cfm">http://www.burley.com/products/accessories/index.cfm</a><br><br>I&#39;d chose a Britax car seat if I were to use one in a trailer. <br>

<br>Any of the infants I&#39;ve come across in trailers are in car seats. I do recommend waiting until your infant can sit up though which would occur sometime between 4-7 months. There is always public transportation and taking turns with dad staying home when going out. Trust me it goes by quick and there is always a way! <br>
