On a recent bike ride around town, I was following my husband who was towing our two young daughters in a bike trailer. He made a turn to get up onto a sidewalk, and as he did, the trailer hit a curb and the trailer suddenly flipped up on its side. I can't tell you how fast my heart was pounding as I threw down my own bike and ran to find out if my girls were ok. A passerby met my husband and I there at the same moment, and I think we all held our breath as we opened the flap to the trailer. Inside sat two very shook up, but thankfully very safe little girls.

Today, over at ParentDish, Heather wrote about her own close call. Only in her case, she was grateful her child was strapped into a trailer instead of a bike seat. So now it's got me wondering...which really is safer? I think I still think the trailer is safer, but watching those turns is a definite must. What do you think?
