80 BIKE TRAILERS: Burley Delite
We have 2 of the burleys. The newest one is the "Burley Delite" which
folds down in about a minute to go in almost any car!! Make sure you
rig up a sunshade --- what sun?? -- it really makes them cranky to have
the sun in their eyes!! A couple of bungy cords and piece of fabric
work well and are adjustable to whereever the sun is!! We started
hauling our son around when he was 7 weeks old -- just leave them in
the car seat and strap the seat into the trailer. Provides double
protection!! When they are old enough to sit up in the trailer (1
yr??), put a helmet on them and remove the car seat. As they get
older, you can put a water bottle carrier on the trailer frame with
hose clamps so the kids have some place for a bottle, can of juice etc
and you don't have to stop. I don't care how nice trailers look, they
are a *REAL DRAG* going into the wind - start your ride upwind and
then go back down wind to get home.
