Burley Bee 2 Seat Children's Bicycle Trailer in Yellow

Product Information

Harness Adjustments: The 5-point harness system is one of the key safety features of the Burley Bee. Always ensure the harness is correctly adjusted and secured for each child. This will not only maximize their safety but also contribute to their comfort.

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 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. The best bicycle trailers for kids help them to ride with you from a young age, right through until they can ride along with you on one of the best kids' bikes. The Burley Bee Bike Trailer isn’t just your basic trailer; it is a double trailer that is light, durable and easy to use. Although it’s a budget trailer, it sports a premium-model aura, thanks to its myriad of features that come standard with every Burley. The Burley Bee, our original bike trailer, is a long-standing family favorite for biking with children. With UV-protected windows, front and rear reflectors, and a 5-point harness system, the Bee takes both safety and comfort seriousl FeaturesIn the left image below, we have an 18-month-old who weighs 27 lbs., and a 2.5-year-old who weighs 32 lbs. With a combined weight of just 59 lbs., they were still quite snug in the Bee. The Bee features 22″ of interior shoulder width, which is pretty standard for both budget and mid-range trailers.

Even the trailer hitch, a component that can often be a weak point in cheaper trailers, is sturdy and reliable in the bee. The Little Extras That Make All The Difference Many budget trailers have low-quality 16″ tires on plastic rims. 16″ tires, in general, are a disadvantage because safety precautions recommend a maximum of just 10 MPH. 20″ wheels, on the other hand, usually have a recommended maximum of 15 MPH. If you want to ride fast or cover long distances, 16″ wheels are not your best bet. In our experience, towing two kids in a bike trailer is just a snug experience. Your toddlers are going to have to be cool with snuggling up to their siblings, and probably getting a little tight and smooshed as they grow older. This goes for almost ALL trailers, not just the Burley Bee. While Burley hasn’t skimped on safety with the seats in the Bee, they have on comfort. While the seats are on par (or even better) than other budget trailers, they’re not exceptionally comfortable. A 100 lb. weight capacity is standard in the double trailer category. Burley trailers break that down to mean 80 lbs. of child and 20 lbs. of cargo.The aluminum frame, made of heat treated 6061-T6 aluminum, gives the Bee its structure, strength and is surprisingly a few pounds lighter compared to other trailers. Safety Features That Exceed Standards Because there’s no hard bottom, the seat tends to sag in the middle. In a double trailer, this also causes two riders to converge in the middle of the seat, and makes it more difficult to get your child in and out of the harness.
