Walking trailer / pram thing

Hi,

I'll try to keep this brief. This summer my partner, 3yo daughter and I started going on very long walks (5-6 hours) once or twice per week. We take the pram as our daughter, as you would expect, gets tired and it's easier than carrying her. The issue is that the trails we like to walk suck with a pram, even with big wheels they're tricky.

So I got thinking and decided something like a cycle trailer but for walking would be ideal (with a waist strap and rickshaw style handles) so that we could put our gear for the day in it and sprog can ride in/on it when she's tired.

Turns out that there are similar products available but without a child able to ride on it, they're basically camping rucksacks on wheels, so I've decided to make one. The idea is to make is lightweight and for it to handle rough terrain well, keeping it fairly small but with enough storage for some gear plus one or two kids. It may also attach to a bike and can be pushed in front like a pram if desired.

I'm curious whether anyone else here would find this useful and might buy it if it existed? And if so, how much would you be willing to spend?

I'm going to make one for my own use anyway but I'm wondering if it's worth refining as a potential product.

Cheers,
James
