About Burley Design
Burley Design has been the leader in child bicycle trailer design for nearly 30 years and has earned a strong reputation for high quality, superior design, safety, and trailer strength. Burley's testing and safety standards are among the most rigorous in the industry, and their designs provide a high level of child comfort in an aerodynamic and lightweight trailer. Burley's trailers are all made from lightweight aluminum tubing and covered with a stain-resistant, mildew-resistant, and water-repelling polyester, high-quality fabric. The geometry of each trailer is specifically tuned to reduce the weight on the connecting hitch, while at the same time providing an even balance point over the trailer wheels. This minimizes the load on the bicycle to maximize handling and ensure an extremely stable and secure ride.

The stylish designs are also functional with large windows, a comfortable suspended hammock-style seat that minimizes the bumps in the road, and a generous storage compartment to enable you to do it all and enjoy time with family, exercise, and run errands all at the same time. Burley trailers store easily with a quick fold and easy-to-remove wheels. You can store it in a garage, hang it indoors, or put it easily into the trunk of a car. With easy-to-use jogger or stroller options, Burley trailers can convert for a run, a stroll in the park, or a cycling adventure.

Customer Reviews

Excellent engineering and solid quality
This trailer is to biking with kids what the BOB strollers are to walking: Tough! I take my 2 girls with my Bianchi cross bike through the neighborhood to the pool. Of course I slow down for curbs but the trailer takes it all in stride and remains securely attached. I do not know what the other reviewer is referring to since the poly block fits tightly into the rear frame arm very securely. The only thing I can think of is that reviewer is too weak to secure a three star tightening wheel (which my 4 year old can do for ours).

The seats are mesh and air flows through the trailer very well. We live in Alabama so you know it gets hot here and my girls are just fine as long as we're moving. The extra storage behind the seats is great for carrying stuff. We put towels, changes of clothes and a small cooler in there all the time. The only limit is how low your gears are and the strength of your legs. I too have the flip up wheel to use as a stroller, but the trailer is not made for that since it won't fit through a standard 36" door like the BOB Evolution ( which we also have).

We bike a great deal and this trailer keeps the true on the wheels better than any (great rims) and the frame has not warped from use. I've had the d'Lite for 2 years now and my only complaint is that the seat strap in the middle does not provide enough support for a 46lb pre-schooler and a 30 lb 2 year old (it sags a little in the center). But then again, I am pushing max capacity for the thing and it was great until my 4 year old hit a growth spurt and is now the size of a 7 year old.

I'd buy another one again if this one ever broke. I use it for light mtn. biking to carry gear when I'm not with kids, so I may break it. But haven't yet and I'm hard on equipment.

The d'Lite is Delightful
We love our Burley d'Lite trailer and stroller kit. It is light, roomy, and easy to use. It doesn't shake and rattle like some of the cheaper trailers that a few of my friends have bought. When we went online to check the prices on used Burley trailers, they were selling for between 30% to 50% less than a new trailer, and they had none of the comfort upgrades like soft padding for the seat and harness, seam sealed waterproof zippers, and easy front to back folding. We found the hitch is easy to use and fits both mine and my husband's bike. When we had questions, we called the Burley customer service line and they were extremely helpful.

With our Burley d'Lite, we are able to take our two children with us while we are exercising. Once installed, the stroller wheel folds up when not in use. When we stop to do errands or go to the zoo, I don't have to take my children out of the trailer or carry a different stroller with us. My son is usually asleep within 5 minutes after we start, and my daughter gets up in the morning and immediately starts asking to go for a ride in "her Burley." One of the nicest things is that I can fit 2 full bags of groceries in the rear storage compartment. Once we had kids, we got stuff - lots and lots of stuff - now we have somewhere to put it.

Thanks Burley for making such a great product!

This is last year's model!
The Burley gets five stars from me, but this transaction with Amazon gets one star. This Burley is a 2007 model, and Amazon doesn't tell you that. I probably would have ordered it even if Amazon had stated that this was a closeout of the 2007 model year, but they don't. Amazon even e-mailed me after I complained, and they admited that their description was incorrect, but they haven't changed it. Know what you are getting - a terrific "5 star" 2007 trailer. However in May 2008, Amazon should tell you that this is last year's model.
