The Piccolo is the premium item, but I used an Adams Trail-a-Bike for several years with no problems. I mostly towed it behind a Trek tandem equipped with a kid stoker kit, so I could take both kids along. When my daughter graduated to her own bike, my son moved to the stoker spot and the TaB went to a friend with younger kids. Lots of fun, and many funny looks from the folks we rode past!
