Does the Burley Bee work as a stroller?

No. The Bee is a bike-only trailer and does not convert to stroller or jogger use. Burley's convertible models cover those modes.

How many children fit?

It comes in single and double seat models. The double seats two children side by side; the single seats one.

How does it attach to a bike?

It uses Burley's simple hitch, which mounts at the rear axle and lets you attach and remove the trailer quickly.

Is there a weather cover?

The Bee has UV-protected windows and reflectors, but a full rain or bug cover is a separate accessory.

Is it safe for young children?

It has a five-point harness, UV-protected windows and front and rear reflectors. Check Burley's stated age and weight limits for your model before riding.

Does it have suspension?

No. The Bee has a rigid frame, so the ride is firmer over rough surfaces than Burley's suspended models.

Where is the Bee cheapest?

At Burley, for $379.95, as of our latest check.

Our take on the Bee

The Burley Bee is a bike-only child trailer built for everyday family rides. It has UV-protected windows, front and rear reflectors, a five-point harness and a simple hitch, and the fabric is post-consumer recycled. It comes in single and double seat versions. It is lighter and simpler than Burley's convertible trailers, which also switch to stroller or jogger use, so it suits families who mainly ride bikes and want a straightforward, well-built trailer. Owners rate it highly for easy setup and steady towing.
