Burley d'Lite bike trailer

Date Published: 4/28/05

The Burley d’Lite is the reigning monarch of trailers. For many years, trailers were Burley’s core product, and the company has always had a strong commitment to family-friendly products. We know people with thousands of miles of d’Lite experience, and they are all satisfied customers.

The d’Lite got a new five-point harness system, an ultra-padded seat removable for easy cleaning, a recess in the back headrest for the child’s helmet, a larger front window, a larger front screen, larger tinted side windows, waterproof zippers, and an adjustable sun screen.

The d’Lite has always had aluminum 20-inch wheels, and for a number of years it has had an extra frame member that bulges out the fabric sides to provide the kids with an additional 5 inches of elbow room. It has a rear handle and parking brake. A walker kit is available for an additional $40 and a jogger kit goes for an additional $70.

Strong resale value is a traditional d’Lite’s delight. You probably won’t even have to mention it’s for sale. Friends will see that your kids are growing older and offer to buy it from you.

Pros: Everything about the d’Lite is well thought out. Your child’s comfort and safety and your convenience are assured. Cons: High purchase price (but you’ll recoup that upon resale).
