Same here. When my wife returned to work (our girls were like 7 months old) riding Chariot was the only way I could put those fussy girls to sleep. Almost daily, six months in a row.

I would never let my daughters ride hipster zero-speeds. Its better to be alive than cool and dead.
Right, or else later they will start racing the Monstertrack. And if seriously it will take them at least a year until their hands will be able to grab a brake lever. Probably more until they'll get the concept of braking with hands, for now it's just another level of confusion.

I think for short trips seats work just fine, just make sure your kid can sit and support his/her head properly. And it allows a bit more interaction. I am thinking of getting an Xtracycle to let them both ride with me. But for longer trips with kids under 3 years old trailer definitely wins.
