...The idea of a trailer has been going through my mind and am
wondering what sort, as in single rear wheel, or twin wheeled type.
---------------

there are pros/cons of single vs double-wheel, so you'll need to make
that decision first. Secondly, the attachment hardware of the *best*
ones is pretty sophisticated in both cases to allow secure attachment
and proper articulation... so you might want to just buy something
rather than attempt to fabricate.

the single wheel cons a
- whatever weight you haul adds to the load on YOUR rear wheel
- when you hit a bump that weight pounds your wheel
- you have to "balance" the weight and will feel crosswinds
pros a
- it tracks right with your tires... easier to avoid debris, etc.
- can be much smaller, lighter, and more aero

double-wheel (like Burley) cons a
- size and shape tend to be BIG for kids
- added width can make it hard to avoid debris/holes
pros a
- bigger payloads
