Default Biking With Kids

Planning on doing some biking with the kids this summer. My oldest daughter will be able to cruise along herself, but my youngest (4) will slow the whole process down as she will only be interested in going for short distances.

What are my best options to bringing the 4 year old along with me? Would a bike trailer work is would she be too big? Anyone have any experience doing this?

When my boys were too young to bike I hauled them in a bike trailer, they are in their 20's now and they still talk about it. When they got older I still pulled the trailer and they biked as far as they could, there were times that I pulled the trailer back with the 2 boys in it and their bikes bungied to the top. We used a Winchester bike trailer back then still have just in case I want to bike somewhere while hunting.

Get the four year old one of these. He'll keep up.
