On the whole, this is a good bike trailer. I have only used it as a bike trailer. I used it with a 20 pound/9 kilogram child. I used the trailer on paved roads and on hilly gravel roads.Folded up and without wheels, the trailer and tow bar fit in the back of my liftback subcompact car. There is little space for anything else.There are some issues you should be aware of:- The rear reflectors do not reflect well. They are terrible. The front reflectors are not much better. The white labels on the back of the trailer are actually much more visible than the reflectors. The wheel reflectors are okay. I strongly recommend purchasing lots of lights to put on your trailer and bicycle. Spoke reflectors are also good. My personal setup has ten lights.- The Schrader valves on the tubes that came with the trailer did not work. Burley sent me replacement tubes. The replacement tubes are okay.- The crotch pad on the harness detaches very easily. I used some cable ties to hold it on so it does not get lost.- The manual says the black thing on the front of the tow bar that looks exactly like a handle is not a handle. The manual is right. It is not a handle. It was foolish to make it look exactly like a handle.- The harness needs to be quite tight or else your child will flop over. It is not hard to tighten.- It is not possible to release the brake while holding your bicycle. You need two people or you need to release the brake before picking up your bike.- It stays warm on cool days. I have not tried it in the heat but I would guess you need to be very careful to keep your child cool.- The tow bar is not keyed, so it is possible to insert it into the trailer with the wrong orientation. It is possible, but difficult to fix this.- My trailer came with the flag holder installed upside down. it was easy to fix, but you need a hex key.I have been using the 16+ wheel kit with the trailer. The Schrader valves on that accessory worked well. It's not obvious to me that the 16+ wheels help my baby or help me tow the trailer, but they at least look like they make the ride more comfortable.The folding mechanism works well. The trailer handles well (no super sharp right turns, though). Hitch installation was easy with my quick release wheel.

I went back and forth on buying this, but finally did and I don't regret it. Some of my favorite things;1) The suspension! We had a cheap trailer and my daughter absolutely HATED it. Every bump we went over she complained. In the Burley she didn't make a peep.2) The bench seat. This was a deal breaker for me (I know I wasn't riding in it but I wanted my daughter to be comfy!) It makes a world of difference.3) The mesh head holes. Again, just a comfort thing that just makes sense!4) The fact that it EASILY Coverts to a stroller. The stroller wheel folds up onto the bike arm - it doesn't get in the way - you don't have to bring an extra wheel with you.5) The storage in the back. Water bottles, toys, jackets, it all fits!Again.... Just buy it!

We love the Burley bike trailer! It is a great quality product that will last for many years. Our son rides in it very comfortably and has tons of room to grow in it!

Super leichter Anhänger,Hat alles was man so braucht.Lässt sich gut und leicht schieben bzw. ziehen. Sehr wendig.Habe auch noch gebraucht die Buggy Räder gekauft. Die Kleine sitzt da lieber drin, als im Kinderwagen.Manko, aber habe keinen Vergleich zu anderen Anhängern: zwei Kinder werden eng.

Have used this for a few months after upgrading from a lower-end single. This is very comfortable for one 3 year old, lots of room for stuff, good suspension for poor condition city roads. It is a bit of a squeeze with 2 kids, but it would be quite inconvenient for other things if it was wider. The ability to transform to a pram is a great feature. Note that we did find it VERY difficult to assemble the first time, and haven’t tried collapsing it since. The website mentions that the material can be quite tight the first time, but I wouldn’t have expected it to be as difficult as it was.

For the price I’m certain you won’t find a better product. It really does compete with its top end counterparts like Thule. I did get it on sale but even at full price this is good value. Well made great design. Kids love it and so do we. Loads of helpful videos from previous customers online to help with any problems or helpful advice. It’s a little wide to use as an everyday push chair but that was not it’s intended purpose. Great bit of kit.

We LOVE our Encore X trailer!! We took this everywhere this summer! We had the Honey Bee originally but we feel the price of this trailer is justified by just how much nicer it is! The suspension makes a huge difference, we live in rural Alaska with horrible roads and this makes the ride so smooth for them!! Also the bench seat alone is worth so much in my opinion, they sit upright and so comfortable versus the sling seat where they leaned in towards the middle and felt like their backs were so uncomfortable and made them grumpy about touching each other.It’s super easy to convert from trailer to stroller and back. We bought an extra bike attachment so we can easily unhook from my bike to put it on my husbands so we can take turns hauling them. The cargo is very spacious and can do a decent grocery haul or all of our beach gear.We are getting a stroller kit for when we travel through the airport as the one it comes with sticks out so far. Excited to try out the accessories that are available with this one. Our honey bee wasn’t comparable with any of the kits.100% recommend this trailer to anyone!

Works fantastic, baby loves it, easy to attach and good wind breaker and storage to Lee baby warm and Babys crap in place! Isn’t a ton of head support in the seat for if he falls asleep, but we simply got a neck pillow.
