I love to take at least 2 planes to the field every time I go ( I fly only once a week) and at the begining I always took my trainer along with the next level plane.
It went with me with my second plane a JOSS stick 90 2-s, and then it went with me along my 3rd plane a p47 90 4-s and so on for the first 5 planes.

Also I choose to left it intact so on rainy days or new field or short field or dirt field I will use my trigeared thrusty trainer, this always before flying the second or bigger plane inside my SUV.

My recomendation is to keep your trainer as it is and buy a nice tail dragger; as a second plane, a mid-wing will help you better with the transition to low wing. look for a ugly stick in the 40-46 size, almost every manufacture has one to offer.
