this was made a year or two ago. i didn't use the trailer on my bike though, i made a hitch for my friends electric scooter... very useful!

I think this is why they use the 14-inch tires on 'baby' trailers, it because the metal rollerskate wheels provide zero vibration isolation.. For something you need super low to the ground, this would be the trade off.. Though, you could do the same with the larger rubber pneumatic tires, but would lose width, between the tires. I imagine you could find a midpoint, with 'replacement' scooter wheels (the 3-4" dia.) Still, Only for something you don't want to raise far from the ground, and won't be worried about vibration.

I really enjoyed this article. It makes bike racks both simple and functional
