Not Sara or Bruce but I used a tagalong for years (it was an Adams Trail-A-Bike). The answer is it depends on the child.
I had 2 grandsons that moved a lot. With the play in the hitch in as they moved back and forth it would allow the tagalong to get moving and then hit at the end of the play. It would cause a lot of stoker steer. A lot more then the same child on a tandem or better yet triplet. Most likely do to the percentage of total weight it was easier to handle behind the tandem than a single and easier behind the triplet than the tandem. I had another grandson, a granddaughter and 2 great nieces that you wouldn't know were back there and I could keep riding them on it until they were older then the other two..
