Is there any special way to drive a small car like Yaris with a 300 pound trailer? Just curious if I need to keep the trailer from flipping sideways during turns. I saw a video on Youtube. A light trailer was being towed by a small car, and the only thing on the trailer was a kid. The car turned at low speed, and the trailer with the kid flipped sideways.

Rule #1 while towing is to never forget you have a trailer behind you.
Rule #2 never forget rule #1.
Although I didn't see the video, I quess the center of gravity was too high or shifting load weight. Shouldn't be a problem if your load is secured and loaded properly.

you drive slower -everywhere- until you figure out how it handles
