Thule Cadence Two Child Carrier Bicycle Trailer

I only have my 2.5 year son in it and he weighs around 35lbs now, but I have loaded it up with a 90lb sandbag just to see what the weight would feel like along seeing how the trailer handled the weight.
My son is 38 lbs and he's really easy to pull in this trailor. Another plus is how easy it is to take apart for storage.
Only regret is that I didn't buy this years ago. I can fit my 5 year old and three year old in comfortably. Pulls easily and stores well. Love the green too:)
Love it, so does our child. Also great for toting things around.
We absolutely love this bicycle trailer and so do our kids. This was extremely easy to set up. It took less than 5 minutes to get this out of the box and set up. It was easy to hook up to the bike.

Burley Design Bee Bike Trailer

I bought my Burley Bee a few months ago and use it just about every day to pick up my two kids from school.
You can fit a lot in there! Even with 1 kid, I can put extra groceries on the seat too.
It attaches easily, rides smoothly and has plenty of space for 2 kids!
This thing is fantastic for a couple of small children.
Even with 75 pounds worth of kids behind me, I do not notice much of a difference except when going up steep inclines.

What customers say about "Construction"

Thule Cadence Two Child Carrier Bicycle Trailer

The quality is very good and it mounted to my Specialized Stumpjumper bike very easily.
It really felt no different minus the extra pedaling force. The tires absorb bumps pretty good. Also keep in mind you don't need to air them up like road bike tires.
The trailer to bike hook up is pretty heavy duty. The bracket that mounts to the bike is a solid piece of heavy steel.
Easy to fold up, Children love to ride in it! Easy to attach to our bike. Can't find a negative!!!
Great quality. Very happy we went with the entry price point Thule vs a comparable priced retail brand.

Burley Design Bee Bike Trailer

I absolutely love the ease and durability of burley trailers. The quick fold design has been particularly useful.
Easy to put together and store. And no problem attaching to the bike.
It is super light so biking with my kids is not to strenuous. It is super quick and easy to attach to my bike as well.
The tires are easy to remove and the trailer folds down perfectly to fit in the back of my 4Runner.
It's easy enough to make fit in the back of a small SUV - and with a bit more effort, can be folded up nicely with all its components inside for storage.

What customers say about "Features"

Thule Cadence Two Child Carrier Bicycle Trailer

The seating position is good but I put a thick blanket underneath the seat for cushion and support. My son kept slouching down in the seat and it looked super uncomfortable.
The color of the trailer is a nice bright green so people can see you, the flag is a nice touch as well. I added rear blinking lights to the trailer just for more added caution.
This trailor has plenty of ventilation and I like that the plastic flap can be qucikly put down in a rainstorm. Also this trailor is very nimble.
Great product. Comfortable for my baby boy. He loves going on bike rides with me. Very safe
Easy to assemble, Light weight and fun for everyone!

Burley Design Bee Bike Trailer

This is a great trailer overall. Room to store stuff, the kid fits well and is comfortable, pretty good ventilation.
We love the extra room. You don't even notice it when you're towing.
I like the big cargo space in back and the windshield that folds up to let a breeze in.
We also love the cargo space in the back. It is more than we need but it is nice knowing we can tow around snacks, water, or anything else we need.
The extra room in back for her back back and lunch box is just what we were looking for!
