The wife did this with both kids in the trailer (they were age
4 and 1.5, I think, or 3 and 0.5) The son, who is younger,
slept through the whole thing. The daughter was a little
freaked. Both were strapped in, and just ended up hanging
upside down. The burley did a 180 -- I think the possibility
for injury would be greater for a 90-degree flip.

They were going downhill, and made a turn but one wheel of the
burley caught a curb. Didn't do *that* again
