Key Features of  Burley Solo Bike Trailer

The Burley kids’ solo bike trailer is jam-packed with useful features designed to make the outdoor experience as fun as possible for both parents and children alike. To give you a better picture of what this bike trailer can do for your family, we have taken the time to list down some of the outstanding features for your reference:

• Bowed-out sides. The cabin has a bowed-out side feature that allows for more leg room for your passengers, for added comfort.

• Water-resistant zippers. To allow your passenger to remain dry, the zippers on the trailer are water resistant for maximum protection.

• Adjustable handlebars. When converting the stroller into a bike trailer, the handlebars easily fold on top of the cabin to get it out of the way, and it can be adjusted to make it easier for parents to push it when it’s converted into a jogger.

• All-kit Compatible. This Kid’s Solo Bike Trailer is the must-have stroller to allow your child to experience outdoor activities at a young age. It converts from a regular stroller to a bike trailer, and can even be converted to take your child skiing with you. It’s all of that in one superb system.

• Compact Fold. Finally, at the end of the day folding up and storing the trailer is a breeze for parents as it folds up nice and flat for storage.

• Padded Spring Integrated Technology. The SIT seat is guaranteed to prevent straps from getting tangled and it makes loading and unloading your child from the cabin a breeze.

• Adjustable Sunshade. The sun is your enemy when you’re out and about, luckily the stroller’s adjustable sunshade allows you to protect your child from the sun while still enjoying the ride.

• Parking Brake. There is always the fear of your stroller running away from you while you are taking a break. Engage the parking brake located at the back of the unit to prevent that from happening.

Cons

We took a look at some of the reviews online to get a better idea of how parents found the Burley kids’ trailer. Over 90% of the reviews were positive, stating that every penny that went into the trailer was worth it.

However, there were a few reviews that said otherwise. One customer wrote that the product had a flimsy floor, and not waterproof, claiming that things inside can easily get wet with a bit of rain.  The comment was not addressed, and this could well have been an isolated case.

With that said, it is important that if you decide to buy the Burley Solo kids’ bike trailer, you should get familiar with Burley’s user guide for the product.  This will help you avoid misuse, and ensure you will get the most out of the combo bike trailer and stroller.
