Lightweight Kids Bike Trailer by Burley Minnow - 1 Seater

jazzygirl: I purchased this trailer after reading the reviews of MANY other brands. I was worried about the ease of attaching the trailer to my road bike, however, have had no issues at all. I did not require any additional adapters outside of what was provided by Burley. Assembly took approximately 15 minutes and was pretty straight forward. I found the manual to be rather poorly diagramed, but I was handy enough to figure it out. If you collapse the trailer completely between each use and remove the tires, it takes 5 minutes to reassemble and attach to the bike. The large tires make for a comfortable ride and the trailer did not impede my ability to maneuver my bike in any direction. I especially love the the trailer stays upright even when the bike is on it's side as road bikes do not have kickstands. The storage is awesome! I use it for shoes in the event we decide to stop at a park (my bike pedals require clips) and sometimes put a speaker in it to play music for my daughter while we ride. We live in a subtropical environment and even with the wind shield down, she does not seem to get too hot. We got caught in the rain last week and the rain shield kept her perfectly dry. The reasons...

Staceyjumps: This trailer is a lot nicer than I was expecting! It's very easy to assemble and fold down. The 20" wheels pop off and allow the trailer to fold down to a size that will fit in average vehicle trunk spaces.
Hooking up to the bike is incredibly easy. We purchased extra hitches for an additional $20 ea. so we can attach the trailer to different bikes when needed. The hitch mounts directly to the frame through the axle. I believe the only type that this hitch will not work with is a breezer style dropout. I have a Raleigh Eva 4.0 mountain bike and my husband also has a Raleigh mountain bike and the hitch works with both of them. The hitch can stay mounted to the bike and is low profile so it won't interfere with normal riding when the trailer is not hooked up to it.
The 20" wheels make it easy to get over different terrain. I've taken it through sand, gravel, and had to walk my bike (carefully) over large tree roots along with curbs. This trailer handled all of it like a champ. It has great maneuverability and if the bike were to fall on its side, the trailer stays put and won't roll over with the bike. It seems very light when you're hauling it. Almost like it's not there....

Micah S: We love our Burley Minnow!

I have a 12 month old, and 4 and 5 year olds. We had an older Burley that was a hand me down for the two older kids. But that one was at least 15 years old, and had sat out in weather most of its life, and has been used a TON, so the fabric was getting pretty gross and worn. It was still perfectly functional, but I didn't need a double anymore, just a trailer to pull the 4 year old, and the baby (when he's no longer in the baby seat on the back of the bike).
I didn't need anything too fancy, we just ride on paved roads and paths, but wanted something that would hold up and be comfortable.

The Minnow fit the bill. We knew the Burley brand was quality, considering the age of our older one, and this one had everything we needed and nothing we didn't need.

It is nice and tall, so my above average 4 year old fits well with room above her head, and she says it's extra cozy. She's pretty bummed on extra rainy days when we don't get to bike her to preschool, but have to drive instead, because she loves riding in this trailer so much.

I love how easily this one folds down and the wheels go off and on (so we can easily store it...
