D'Lite X

Our first bike trailer we have tried. Goes together and folds/transports very easy. My 4 and 2 year olds love it! Feels very stable and is easy to pull behind a bike. The large pneumatic tires and little suspension springs seem like they make a nice ride for the kids. Converts and pushes super easy as a “stroller” too, we use this around the neighborhood/parks and bring it camping The little back storage area is great at campgrounds or bringing a few things to the park! Also this model seems to have a much better view/window setup for the kids compared to other models we looked at. Some reviews said the back push handle (or roll bar when in bike mode) seemed loose, but I have no problems with it at all. It feels like a plastic sprocket that had a yellow plastic pinch lever to hold the bar in place. I guess if you apply very little force to it or don’t let the teeth mesh together it would be loose... but I can squeeze it tight then lift the entire trailer up (with my kids in it) and the bar doesn’t move/slide. Besides the price being expensive, I can’t think of anything I don’t like!

I've owned this trailer for four months and I think it's the best jogging stroller or trailer on the market. I purchased it on a Labor Day sale for $600. Compared to the Thule, Bob, or Uppababy jogging strollers, it has better built-in wind and rain protection, and its wheels are bigger. In addition to being a top contender as the best jogging stroller, it's a bike trailer. To compare it to the Thule bike trailers – the Thules look nice, but they're considerably more expensive and I don't see the value proposition. We walk and jog with this trailer about 4 miles per day and then go for a ride most weekends for about 15 miles. I love the capabilities it gives us. I do wish the seat could recline even more so that our baby could lie flat, but she falls asleep almost every outing as it is, so the seat angle isn't too big a deal for us. However, because of this, it's not suitable for newborns. This trailer has given us the ability to take our baby (and dog) on the adventures that we love. 1 year update: Still going great and rolling very smoothly. We've used it at least 5 days a week for the past year, for 3 miles or more per day, and it's been fabulous. We had a wet winter, and the ability to quickly open or close the plastic windshield to keep our daughter completely dry was a big deal.

I did a lot of research before we bought this so we knew what we were getting. One surprise, though, was that the back cover unzips so the screen can still be closed and the rain cover rolled up. Previous model reviews I'd seen complained of this, and I was expecting it to be an issue, but it was not - we were pleasantly surprised -- which was great because it's been in the 90's for weeks (with humidity in the 80-90%'s as well). It is light, very light, and rolls really well. I hardly notice I'm pulling it. The kids love it. I don't have any experience with rain, I've seen reviews that it isn't as water proof as some -- but that's not an issue for us. Where we live - you know if it's going to rain well in advance and we just don't go out on days like that. In part because when it storms here it's just flat dangerous. Tornados, hail, lots of lighting, that kind of stuff. Tons of room to pack stuff, too. The zippers all feel substantial, good quality, as does the material it is made of. Assembly was very easy. I don't know about folding it down and setting it back up - we store it ready to go.

This product was easy to assemble and built very well. Quality materials mean it will last long. Easy to maneuver and handles are comfortable to grip. If you want to buy this for a child, it is one of the best built strollers we have seen! My husband dismantled the seating inside and uses it for long hikes in the desert and it holds a backpack, smaller cooler of ice and water, sunbrella, etc. Wheels on this are VERY sturdy and easy to maneuver! Pleasantly surprised and definitely recommend!

I debated buying this for a long time. The price is pretty steep but when compared to other cheaper trailers, I felt the money was well spent. This trailer is very well made. I have only used it as a bike trailer so far. Was very easy to assemble. I've read some reviews about the handlebar easily collapsing but I did not experience that whatsoever (and I tested it as soon as we assembled it). Rides very smooth and can easily be attached to any bike that has a quick release. My son had all the room in the world. We also plan to use it as a double stroller in the future. Would recommend to anyone who could afford it.

Cycling is my favorite activity, but I have not been able to get out on my bike much since having my first baby. I decided to invest in this trailer so that I can take him along on rides and get him some fresh air. I settled on this trailer after doing A LOT of research. Originally it was between this trailer and the Thule Chariot. Ended up going with this one as it had adjustable seats, suspension, and I could get the two-seater for less than the price of the single-seater from the Thule. The D-Lite X has been awesome! My baby loves coming on bike rides with me now, and I use this trailer almost every day to ride around our neighborhood. It is sturdy, roomy, and comfortable for baby. Highly recommend!

LLego en buenas condiciones, aunque la caja tenia con 2 golpes, el contenido estaba integro. Si es lo que buscabamos, buen producto, vale lo que cuesta, ya lo usamos y estamos contentos, nuestras hijas lo disfrutaron.

Our child refused to ride in out old bike trailer. She has never refused to get in this one. While she's not old enough to fully describe her experience, I expect that the solid seat (as opposed to just fabric), the large, clear windows, and the suspension provide a superior riding experience. As far as qualities adults would appreciate, I appreciate the large storage area in the back, and my wife likes that she can disconnect it from one bike and connect it to another without much effort. One con: It's tough to fold up. We leave it ready-to-go all the time. If you use a bike trailer a lot, have only one child to tow, and can afford the price tag - get this trailer!

春から子供が保育園に通う事になり、購入。 自転車を検討し始めた矢先、子供が室内で椅子に座ったまま転倒し頭部を強打するという事故があり、一般的な子供乗せ自転車の転倒リスクを考えるようになりました。 自転車店に相談して回りましたが、「専用自転車は重心も低くスタンドも広いので転倒しづらくはなっているが、残念ながらフラつくこともあるし、事故の経緯を聞くと大丈夫ですとは言えません」と言われたのが印象に残っています。 OGKのチャイルドシートも今年から新しくなり信頼性も増したようですが、どう頑張っても子供は剥き出しに違いはありません。 小さな子供の2度目の頭部強打はあり得ませんので、一般的な子供乗せ自転車は断念しました。 悩んでいましたが、友人に相談するとBURLEYを紹介してもらいました。 重心が低いため転倒の可能性は限りなく低く、アルミロールバーに囲まれているため事故時の安全性も高そうです（実際に、アメリカをはじめ世界の安全基準は難なくクリアしているようです）。 BURLEYのチャイルドトレーラーは2人乗りモデルがメインみたいですが、幅は2人乗りのハニービーで約75cm、1人乗りのこれが約70cmです。 通常の自転車の幅が約60cmなので横幅は抑えたかった点や、1人乗りならではの内部の広さもあり1人乗りモデルに決定しました。 BURLEYの1人乗りモデルは2つ、廉価モデルのビー・シングルと高級モデルのDライトXシングルがあります。 牽引する自転車は何でもいいので、亡くなった祖母が使っていたママチャリを流用する事にしました。 その代わり浮いた予算をこちらに回すという選択ができたので、高級モデルを選択しました。 実際に使うと、何かを牽引している感覚がない程に軽いので驚きました。 上り坂でも、電動アシストがあれば牽引していないのと変わりないレベルです。 漕ぎはじめの低速でもフラつくこともありません。 牽引している以上はトラックと同じく内輪差が生じますが、少し大きく回る等ちょっとしたコツを掴むだけです。 今のところ数回使っただけですがすぐに慣れ、これで快適な登園ができることを確信できました。 残念ながら、牽引するデメリットもあります。 それは駐輪スペースの問題と、実質的にバックができない事です。 これらの問題の解決手段としては牽引を取り外してベビーカーモードで使う事ですが、買い物や登園の都度取り外すのは、10秒程度の手間とはいえ面倒です。 更に、牽引専用のビー・シングルでは解決できません。 ご検討される際は是非参考にしてください。 以下、注意点です。 アメリカのメーカーのため、空気を入れるバルブがママチャリの英式ではなくクルマと同様の米式です。 ママチャリ用の空気入れしかない場合は、買い足しが必要になります。 また、フラッグをつける位置がデフォルトで左側になっています。 日本はアメリカと異なり左側通行のため、右側に付け直す必要があります（5mmアーレンキーが必要）。 ベビーカーモードと牽引モードでロールバーの向きを変えるのですが、デフォルトではベビーカーモードの時にフラッグが立つような角度でセットされていますので（梱包の都合だと思います）、左側のままで使うにしてもアーレンキーでの調整が必須です。 後部にリフレクターは付いてますが、オプションで販売されているテールライトのキットが必要な場合も注意が必要です。 何故なら、何故か日本では取り扱いがないのです。 ただしアメリカのAmazonで普通に購入でき、2つで送料込5000円程度なので、社外品と比較しても決して高価な訳でないのは良心的だと思います。 しかしながら国際便で届きますので、2週間程度はかかる事を覚えておかなければ、必要な時に間に合わない可能性があります。 最後に、一般的なママチャリはキックスタンドがアダプタと干渉してしまうためスペーサーの購入は必須ですので、忘れないように。

This trailer is awesome. I researched children's bike trailers for awhile before deciding to purchase this one. My primary use for this is as a bike trailer for an older toddler (2.5yo). I also wanted the flexibility to use it for awhile still as my child grows, and have the ability to use with 2 children if I so needed. I had no experience with bike trailers before this. It was a bit difficult to put together, physically. I had trouble with components being tight and despite being a strong, capable, building-savvy person, I needed my husband's muscle with putting it together. It was simple enough, though, and didn't eat my day. Hitching it to my bike was easy - super simple and I have no previous experience. I wish Burley put a link to their educational videos in their manual to make it more comprehensive. I had to watch videos for certain components (like how to move the flag with the handlebar) and it was annoying to look for. It is much easier and faster to watch a video than to read through the instruction manual only to find your question unanswered (similarly - how to convert the child trailer to a cargo trailer). As a stroller, it pushes very easily. Some reviews have complained of the stroller handle collapsing with force, or being otherwise unreliable. I did not have issues with the stroller handle and think that Burley has maybe updated their design. The handle bar is fully adjustable and has a handle lock to keep it in place. There is a wheel lock toward the bottom that can be easily adjusted with your hand or foot. With or without my child inside, I could maneuver over curbs and other obstacles easily without any issues with the handle. I am 5'2" and found a good height for the handle that I think would still even accommodate a handlebar caddy. The trailer is back heavy and without weight in the seating area it is easy to tip backwards (but not unreasonably or annoyingly so). If you had weight in the storage compartments and no kids in the seating area, it may tip back even more easily but I haven't tested this. As a bike trailer you hardly know it's there! It's so smooth - it's awesome. You will feel the weight especially uphill, etc. but it really pulls like a dream. The inside is roomy. There's UV protected windows. I like that the rain cover is attached because you can zip up or down as much as you want covered - super handy if it's breezy and your kid is getting chilly but you don't need everything blocked off. The rain cover is secured by toggles on the zipper. Not super aesthetically pleasing but functional and doesn't bother me. I prefer the flexibility. The sunshade is short and can basically protect upper body with legs uncovered. You can adjust it further down but then the sun might be in your kid's eyes. I wish it was fully adjustable, but this isn't a dealbreaker. I put a blanket over kiddo's legs and we wear sunscreen, but with smaller children on longer rides in beating sun, it's not ideal. I wish burley maybe did another sunshade layer that was zipped between the mesh and rain cover that could be secured similarly to the raincover. Burley needs to update their promo materials as I feel they're confusing. They market this as having a hammock-style seat. In my research, hammock styles are lower end and unsupportive. This is a bench style seat. It is one long stable bench raised off the floor of the trailer and does not sink toward the middle when seated. The seats are super comfortable and the inside is quite roomy. The bowed out sides give extra elbow room and give this trailer more longevity, I feel. There are 2 mesh pockets next to either seat that can hold sippies and snacks. Regarding recline: this is a bike trailer first. People complain the seats don't recline much. This is true. I keep our recline in the middle setting and it is quite upright. As a bike trailer, I understand it is unsafe to be fully reclined (closer to flat) and cycling. It would be nice to have this feature for strolling, but this is not a dealbreaker for me as we're using it for cycling first. My toddler is also older so we won't be regularly napping in it anyway. Whatever amount you recline also takes away from storage. Another selling point for me: huge storage compartment. There are 2 small pockets that can carry keys, phone, etc. The rest is wide open. It would be nice to have a cargo net or some other flexible arrangement to compartmentalize the storage a bit more, but I suppose I could makeshift this if I wanted. I also like the removable mat. We've biked to the beach a couple times and sand gets everywhere. With the mat it is super easy to shake out. If there's a spill or something, there's also a little hole underneath the mat that allows you to drain whatever you need to. I would also ask burley to consider velcro or something else to seal the bottom of the mesh cover/rain cover opening. An enterprising toddler can push things through and out the gap, and you would never know while biking. This trailer is amazing. I debated a long time between this and another significant competitor (thule cross). This trailer excels at being a bike trailer with slightly older toddlers/small children. I wouldn't have chosen this if my kids were very young (infants under 1) but then it's first use wouldn't be as a bike trailer then either (need to be at least 1yo). Another selling feature was the fact that this can be converted to a cargo trailer. So once we outgrow the trailer we always still have the versatility to use it for other purposes. Couldn't say that about the competitors! This was definitely an awesome purchase- no regrets. I do think some accessories are way overpriced (ahem double stroller kit) but regardless, we will get a lot of use out of this! And during COVID summer- it couldn't come soon enough!

Update: After nearly 3 years of using this in the worst weather that Canada has to offer, and also experience Burley's customer support, I'm updating the review to give it 5 stars. This trailer/stroller is well designed, and offers more comfortable seating for a wider range of sizes of kids than Thule trailers do. It is full of thoughtful features, and it's durability is simply top notch. It is a very high quality product, and I feel that we have definitely gotten our money's worth. In my original review, I was very peeved that I had to pay for an additional accessory to attach it to my mountain bike. I still feel that is unfair, I guess the issue I had is something minority of people would have to deal with, and the overall benefits outweight hte downsides. We have been very happy with this trailer, and highly recommend Burley for their quality. Original review: I don't have complaints about the trailer itself. But it was very disappointing that the through axel to make it work with my mountain bike was not included. Imagine the kids being so excited when you receive it, only to find out that we actually can't use it at all to attach to the bike because there is no through axel included in the box for hitch attachment. Burley sells those extra at $50-$100 a pop, and they are not that easy to find. They also require extra research to ensure you get the right axel to work with your mountain bike. Granted, this is a problem specific to mountain bike owners, but tons of people with mountain bikes are going to order this trailer. Burley should include the required axels, or at least, make it a lot more clear that it is not included. Also, the axel should not cost 10% of the cost of the whole trailer!
