Remember at the end of the first movie, when Boromir tried to take the Ring? He was overcome by the desire for it, and it would be reeeally easy for him just to hand it over. True, he was weak. But Frodo had had it for awhile, and been tested, if you will. It was too uncertain to throw it off on someone else who hadn't hardly even seen it before. And, Aragorn was confident he could save Frodo before he crossed over.
