And compared to other entry-level budget bike trailers, the Burley Bee is heads and shoulders above. Where you can tell the Burley Bee really shines when compared to the cheaper “budget” trailers is the fabric cover (which is 600D polyester).

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 hardworking Honey Bee kids bike trailer and double stroller is the perfect balance of value and versatility, without compromising on safety.Other Budget Trailers: The Bee offers UV side windows, while the Allen S2, Schwinn trailers, and InStep trailers do not. The Schwinn Trailblazer and InStep Take 2 use a cheap Velcro and snap system that easily comes undone and is hard to secure in place. Budget Trailers: The Bee’s wheels and tires are seemingly identical to the Allen S2’s, with the exception of the quick release mechanism. e. damaged, defective, wrong item sent etc, we will refund Royal Mail First Class or Standard Parcel postage costs. If you don’t want to spend a fortune on a bicycle trailer for hauling your kids, but you do want to get one that’s high-quality, durable, and easy to tow, then the Burley Bee is the trailer that you want.

In terms of sun protection, the one thing the Burley Bee is missing when compared to higher-end trailers is a sunshade. The single Bee will never really get “snug” because a child is centered in the middle of the trailer and has sufficient room on either side as they grow.

While the frame was a challenge for me, the wheels–like all the Burley trailers–were really to take on and off. Signing for goods later found to be unacceptably damaged in transit complicates negotiations with the courier in dealing with your complaint. If you do plan on riding on trails or uneven terrain, you should definitely look into upgrading to the Burley Encore X or D’Lite X. Unfortunately, the snack/sippy cup pockets in the Schwinn trailers are smaller and tighter and difficult for young kids to use on their own. This lightweight, nimble trailer features comfortable seating for one or two children, UPF 50+ tinted windows and plenty of cargo space.
