My 10 year old can't ride a bike he always tends to lean it to one side or
the other fairly drastically which causes problems with the steering
obviously. He is not confident riding more than about 10 feet. would a
trailer bike attached to my MTB be of any benefit so he can come along with
me and his elder brother when riding.

do they make them large enough he is not particularly tall for his age

One word: Tandem.

Much better idea and harder for the stoker to Really Ruin Your Day (tm)

Martin,

That sounds like a good idea.

any tandem in particular?

I expected delivery of an adventure A6 trailer but it looks like I am
not going to get it as the shop can't restock...

I cheated and built one.. But that is not an appropriate solution for
everyone.

Depends on budget. Try the Tandem Club (googleable) for their small ads for
S/H or something like the Dawes, or a Thorn Discovery are at the cheap end
of the quality market.

Or a ten ton horror from ebay for a few hundred quid.

It fitted (51/41 cm size) a (small for her age) 11 yr old.
