Things You'll Need:
- 1-inch square aluminum tubing
- Drill
- Socket wrenches
- 0.5 inch bolts
- 20-inch bicycle wheels
- Child Seat
- Nylon cloth (optional)
-
Step 1
Build a square out of the aluminum tubing with sides 2.5 feet long. Drill holes in the end of each piece of tubing and screw the tubing together with a socket wrench and 0.5 inch bolts. Determine which side will be the front of the carrier. Secure a 3-foot-long piece of tubing with the 0.5 inch bolts to act as the tongue for connecting the carrier to the bicycle.
-
Step 2
Drill two holes opposite one another on the sides of the carrier and insert the wheel axles of the 20-inch bike wheels. Secure them with bolts. Drill a single hole in the end of the tongue of the trailer in which to slide the quick release of the rear wheel through. This will be how you secure the trailer to the bicycle axle.

Step 3
Drill four mounting holes in the child safety seat, then drill corresponding holes in the edges of the trailer frame. Slide the seat into the frame and secure it with the bolts. To attach the trailer, slide your quick release through the hole in the end of the tongue of the trailer. Strap your child into the seat---and away you go.
