I have a Trek Transit myself, and it will fit two small children and some cargo or much cargo by itself. Probably about 100 lbs/50kg or so. I have a book (The Cart Book) that would be a good thing to look at for plans. I find a trailer very useful behind one of my recumbent bikes or my trike! VERY useful!
