Can't risk the teeth SS. I am the only one in the neighborhood that has any so I get special preference on hard candy and solid foods.

I have a stout harness made from the wench straps off a flat bed lorry. I put that on like a life vest and pull it with that!

Actually I have been considering a hitch off the internet. They are made for installation on everything now. I have all types of accessories that fit the square tube. I have platforms, motorbike carriers, a hitch mounted winch and a half dozen accessory slide in adapters.

We have different towing regulations, as well as different hitches, over here and what you folks use to tow a caravan is not allowed to pull a dog cart over here.

This little car is not rated for towing anything, but my present trailer is a light utility job not rated for more than 500 kilos. I doubt I have ever had that much on it. I would want the hitch only for emergency use.

The real problem with an aftermarket hitch on a very small car is the lighting. Cars since 2000 year models are computer controlled to put out only as much lighting power as the vehicle is rated for and adding trailer lights over stresses not only engine and transmission but also the electrics. I might be able to trick the system using LED lights on the trailer. They draw practically nothing.

Fortunately our home building supply big box stores have trailers and pickup trucks available to rent at $20 per day. Several vehicle rental centers do the same. I can rent a 5M box van for $30. If I need to shift stuff around or purchase outsized items I can rent a truck cheaply.
