Burley Bee, 1 and 2 Seat, Lightweight, Kids Bike-Only Trailer

Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase. The quality is great, it's easy to set up, rides well and I feel comfortable that my not-quite-two year old daughter is safe. The Burley trailers are all a little pricey, but I was able to get this one at a slight discount around the holidays. I had also been eyeing a competitor's product (Schwinn) that reviewed very well and was much less expensive, but their lack of information or photos made me nervous. The reviews on the Burley were all solid, with the only real complaint being that it wasn't cheap. They also provided a significant amount of details on how it was designed and how it would keep your child safe. I was convinced and paid a little extra. We've ridden well over 100 miles so far, and it's gone well. My daughter was afraid of it at first, and she still won't let me close the front cover, but she really enjoys riding with me (as long as I keep the flap open, of course!). The seat belts seem comfortable and secure, and she's fully enclosed by the metal frame. I did buy the supplemental seat pad, although I can't tell how much it helps, as she's fallen asleep mid-ride both with and without it. The hitch allows the bike to lean, which is convenient for stopping, and should prevent the trailer from flipping in the event that I fall over. The trailer is easy to break down and set up, and there are extra failsafes on both ends of the hitch connector to ensure that the trailer never breaks loose from the bike. There's also plenty of storage space in the back, so I usually keep my sneakers in there and put on my biking shoes, and also throw some snacks, toys and extra clothing/blankets in there. The only real detriment, other than the somewhat high price, is that her head gets pushed forward a little bit by the helmet. There is a pouch of loose material on the back panel where her head rests, but the seatbelt straps run up to the top and keep her head somewhat forward. Otherwise, I don't think there are any other drawbacks. If you like riding and have kids, I'd highly recommend it.

This is a fantastic bike trailer. I've ridden at this point over a hundred miles with it, putting it through wet and dry, on and off road, two rowdy dogs, a first grader, and all the gear we'd take on an adventure in the day. You can't even tell, apart from the mud on the tires, the abuse it's taken. It holds up, it rides smooth, and it's durable. If you want a bike trailer, this is the one. I love it! One thing to note however -- others will love it too. I had mine stolen off of my bike by a drug addict (a not uncommon fauna in the woods of Florida), and it runs so smoothly and well put together that they sprinted away with it on foot like a roman chariot. When you get the trailer, buy a padlock for the hitch as well to attach it to the bike to go along with your bike lock. I'm going to buy another one of these regardless. Worth every penny!

This is easy to attach and detach, the kids seem comfy in it, and the front cover secures more conveniently than my previous trailer. It does scrape a little along the ground when I tow it by the bar by hand but that doesn't seem to be a problem. I wish it came in colors other than "violently yellow", though.

This is a beautiful trailer. I am so glad I decided to spend the extra money on a Burley and not one of the cheaper brands. I took it for a 10 mile ride as soon as I assembled it and it towed like a dream. Honestly, I kept looking back to make sure she didn't come unhitched, that's how light it is to tow! My 3-year-old is rather tall for her age but she fit really well with plenty of room. We loaded up snacks, a juice cup, 3 of her My Little Ponies, and a blanket in the cab and I had two jackets stored in the rear with plenty of extra room for more items! My daughter had a blast on her first ride and she even passed out on the way home. The trailer is sturdy and well-made. Assembly was easy and I love the bright yellow cover for visibility as well as the four reflectors and orange safety flag for added safety. I highly recommend the Burley trailer if you're serious about riding, other trailers may cost less but Burley is worth every cent!

Got the single seater, and it's excellent. Easy to set up, pull, etc, and my daughter seems very comfortable - she loves going for rides! The storage space is perfect for our backpacks as we head to preschool/work. We got this as a replacement for a very old two-seater Burly Bee. We got it second hand more than 5 years ago and if we and the previous owners had both taken care of it better (keep covered, inside garage, replace tires), I think it would still be in great condition. Really, it would still be fine if I replaced the wheels and fixed some netting (just sun bleached). So yes, I'd say Burly Bee ages we'll and is well worth the cost. The improvements on the new model seem great, easier to use and absolutely as durable.

Have been taking my son out on bike rides with this trailer. Good rain protection, we didnt get seriously dumped on but a light rain didnt get through windscreen or canopy material. The hitch connection for the axle comes with the Bee and is very easy to hook up. Hitch connection is flexible and very secure with a safety tether that loops around the bike frame. The hitching tongue connection is also very secure. This little buggie is lightweight, easy to collapse and seems very safe. Solid construction. Another great feature is the trunk. Nice for storing gear or water and snacks, toys etc. Very good product for the price.

We have owned this trailer for three years now. Perfect size for one kid + a bunch of extras in the back like groceries, library books, backpacks (multiple!), or beach toys. Well designed and built and the secure-tie mechanism to our e-bike feels very snug. The seat lacks padding like some of their higher-end models; we put our own aftermarket pad on the seat and our child has never complained of discomfort. In the last two years, one of our wheels got a puncture and deflated; we were able to purchase a set of two additional tires from Burley and install them easily. The only reason I would deduct a star is because the trailer doesn't really completely collapse - it just folds down slightly but still takes up a decent amount of space, and you have to disassemble it if you want to be able to fit it into the back of a CR-V, for instance. But this lack of collapsibility likely contributes to the safety of the frame. Our child highly prefers riding in this versus riding in a car seat, and the Burley has opened us up to a world of healthier transportation. Whenever we have the option, we're biking to our destinations rather than driving, and all of us happier for it.

Love my burley however as far as seating 2 goes it's a bit of squeeze for them as they were shoulder to shoulder with not much room to move the arms against each other (1yro & 3yro); wish there was more space. Now that the one bad thing is out of the way.. Once reading through the directions it was relatively easy to attach, absolutely no problem with all sorts of turns and stops, has a bigger storage space in the back than expected, stays up when bike is tipped, and easy to pop on and off wheels. It comes folded just had to pop it in place, push in the wheels, slide the bar that attaches the trailer to the bike, the wheel guards, and flag. The storage space in the back held my super packed diaper bag, a purse, 2 big waterbottles, and extra snacks & cups.
