Burley Bee 2 Seat Children's Bicycle Trailer in Yellow

Product Information

Compared to other entry-level trailers, the Bee is more durable, more enjoyable to tow, and more comfortable for your kids. We highly recommend spending the extra money to get a high-quality product. More Stuff You Might Like Yes. A bike seat puts your kiddo up on your bike with you. It's easy because there's less to carry and manage but should you happen to fall, your child will fall with you and the distance is substantial compared to their size. The genius of the Burley Bee isn’t just about comfort. It really excels in providing practical storage solutions – a feature that every parent will appreciate. The Burley Bee is made with high quality components (like metal rims and spokes) and more durable fabric. You also know that you will get good customer service and access to replacement parts. Bottom-Line: Our Favorite Entry-Level Trailer

The more you have to spend on a Burley trailer, the more awesome stuff you get. Some of this stuff you may never need (i.e. the xc ski kit) but some can be really nice–like padded seats. The test answered a few of our key questions about trailer suspension systems. Here is a summary of our findings:I’ve spent countless hours on the road with bike trailers, and when it comes to safety, the Burley Bee sets a high bar. I’ve driven this trailer for hours, and it’s fair to say the Burley Bee knows how to pamper its passengers and provide convenience for parents. Comfortable and Durable Interior For example, the Burley Bee comes with a tow arm that is compatible with most bikes, making it easier for your kids to ride.

Let’s dive a little deeper into what really sets the Burley Bee apart – its stellar focus on riding comfort and thoughtful storage options. Pretty much every other budget trailer is covered with a thin vinyl that does not instill confidence in durability. It could easily get torn, or just wear down naturally because it’s so thin. Additionally, the stitching is often visibly stretched – also not good for long-term wear and tear. If you’re looking for a durable trailer, the Bee wins hands down. That said, having a trailer that converts to a stroller can be really nice. For instance, we’ve always appreciated being able to bike to the farmer’s market, then unhook the trailer from the bike and walk around with it. If you have a sleeping toddler, this can be doubly nice. Burley puts its heart and soul in the production of its bicycle trailers – that’s just how they do business. The Burley Bee, our original bike trailer, is a long-standing favorite for biking with children. With UV-protected windows, front and rear reflectors, and a 5-point harness, the Bee takes both safety and comfort seriously. And with its simple hitching system, the Bee makes it easy to enjoy family bike rides any day of the week. Available in single or double seat models. SpecificationsOn the Bee (and the Allen S2), the mesh layer starts 10.5″ above the seat bottom, as indicated by the yellow arrow. The Trailblazer’s starts 15″ above the seat bottom, and the Instep Take 2 starts 15.5″ from the seat bottom! The frame of the Burley Bee is made of heat treated 6061-T6 aluminum. This makes for a lightweight trailer, but one that’s also strong.

Great for athletes, this model is impressively durable and designed to keep passengers comfortable during long rides in tough conditions When the door is closed you can either put down only the mesh cover (for good airflow) or the plastic cover as well (for colder or wetter weather). With kids in a sleeping bag and the door down, you can ride in almost any weather conditions.If that doesn’t sound like a lot, trust me, you’ll be appreciating the lighter weight when hauling a kid and groceries up the hill to your house. The lightweight contributes to an overall positive towing experience. The cover secures via a strap and hook which makes it faster and easier to open and close than a zipper, but perhaps slightly less secure from the elements. The rain cover rolls up and is kept up via two velcro straps. Windows Have UV Protection (But There’s No Sunshade) This trailer stands out for its ease of use, comfort, safety and value for money. Although a budget-friendly option, it does not compromise on quality or functionality, which is often the case with budget trailers.

The height of the shoulder straps is continuously adjustable for maximum comfort and safety in the Bee. Many budget trailers, like the InStep and the Schwinns, have just three shoulder height settings.

Burley Bee specs

The shoulder straps are height adjustable and we appreciate that they simply slide up or down and you don’t have to re-thread them thru the seat as your child grows like some trailers we’ve tested. The premium 20-inch wheels are a perfect example. They’re not a feature typically found on budget trailers, yet they come standard on the Bee. The windows on the Burley Bee have tinted windows that provide UV protection. This is great not only for keeping your kids skin protected, but also your child’s eyes. Like I said, this isn’t unique to the Bee–and the floor fabric is still superior to many “cheap” trailer–but if you have extra money to spend, this might be a reason for you to upgrade. Doesn’t Convert To A Stroller
