Our take on the Encore X

The Burley Encore X is a two-child bike trailer that converts for jogging, strolling and skiing with the right kits. Its full suspension and padded bench seat with a five-point harness set it apart from rigid-frame trailers like the Burley Bee, which ride harsher. Owners rate it highly for year-round family use, though the add-on conversion kits and the weight of the suspended frame are the usual trade-offs.
