I have a Hamax sleepy, and a two seater trailer.
The Hamax is a nice system as it offers natural suspension for the child. Its as safe as they come, My nippa loved it. If you buy an extra clamp you can easily set-up a second bike to take the seat at a moments notice. Handling wise, it does make the front end of the bike feel a bit light.
The trailer is great now that the eldest nippa is getting a bit big for the seat. The weight is removed from the back wheel somewhat, and you get loads of storage space. The downside is the width of the trailer and parking the bike+trailer (not such a problem for me). But if you want to use your bike to take your child out for the day, the trailer wins. Its more comfortable, keeps the child dry, and allows them to store their own snacks and reading material (Mine is a mobile library).
