Bike trailers/joggers

I am in the market for a bike trailer. I jog a lot, too so I want to purchase a bike trailer that also can convert into a jogging stroller. I've done a little bit of research and it seems that there are several price points (under $200, $200-500, and over $500). Of course I want to spend under $200 but I wonder if that is realistic. I jog or walk three miles 3-5 time a week. Once I get a trailer I plan on biking at least a few times a week (for fun and for errands).

Any insights to share? I am willing to pay up to $500, but of course would like to get by with less (my bike didn't even cost that much!). What brand/model do you have that you love?

I am not sure about these but I would suggest checking craigslist in your area because you might be able to get a $500 one for $200.

I was going to say the same thing. When we were looking for ours, there were a ton of listings on Craigslist. Some of the nicer brands you're probably referring to would sell for $100 or less. Sometimes they're in great shape bc people buy them and don't end up using them much. I didn't do much research, just found a good deal at a garage sale. It's an In Step though, and we've been happy with it!
