About Burley Design
Burley Design has been the leader in child bicycle trailer design for nearly 30 years and has earned a strong reputation for high quality, superior design, safety, and trailer strength. Burley's testing and safety standards are among the most rigorous in the industry, and their designs provide a high level of child comfort in an aerodynamic and lightweight trailer. Burley's trailers are all made from lightweight aluminum tubing and covered with a stain-resistant, mildew-resistant, and water-repelling polyester, high-quality fabric. The geometry of each trailer is specifically tuned to reduce the weight on the connecting hitch, while at the same time providing an even balance point over the trailer wheels. This minimizes the load on the bicycle to maximize handling and ensure an extremely stable and secure ride.

The stylish designs are also functional with large windows, a comfortable suspended hammock-style seat that minimizes the bumps in the road, and a generous storage compartment to enable you to do it all and enjoy time with family, exercise, and run errands all at the same time. Burley trailers store easily with a quick fold and easy-to-remove wheels. You can store it in a garage, hang it indoors, or put it easily into the trunk of a car. With easy-to-use jogger or stroller options, Burley trailers can convert for a run, a stroll in the park, or a cycling adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Tot Trailer!, October 17, 2007
This review is from: Burley Design Encore Child Bicycle Trailer (Sports)
When my wife gave birth to our little one a couple years ago, I couldn't wait for him to be old enough to ride in a bike trailer for kids, but I had one huge worry: Safety.

These trailers are so light that they look as though they'd bounce up and down. However, nothing could be further from the truth. This is a very durable product, and while it is light, it is no "lightweight." It's very rugged, and after over a thousand miles on it, the treads on the tires are still holding up really well.

Most importantly, it connects to the rear triangle (near the dropouts) with a coupler that's built around a U-joint, so that if the bike flips over, the trailer will stay upright. I have put this to the test (with an empty trailer, of course), and the trailer stayed on both tires with so much as a nudge.

My kid fits snugly in the trailer, and during sunshiney days, the smoke-tinted side windows keep him from overheating, when used in tandem with the venting mesh front panels. He gets a lot of breeze back there, and if he drops his sippy cup, it conveniently rolls around on the floor until it comes back to him to pick up.

Speaking of tandems, this trailer is towable not only with my Bianchi road bike, but our Santana tandem my wife and I ride. It makes for one long total vehicle, but is very easy to manuever.

I notice I have to go up a gear on my rear cogset to pull this trailer with my single bike, which slows me down a little, but it doesn't feel like that much extra weight when climbing hills. This is a very efficiently built trailer and doesn't create a drag on me. When pulling with our tandem, my wife and I notice almost no slowing down, and just zip along as we always have.

The Burley Encore comes with an orange pennant and a long pole, for great visibility for other vehicles. I recommend getting a "slow moving vehicle" orange/yellow triangle for the rear for added safety, to let drivers know you're pulling precious cargo.

As for my little boy, he has a blast riding around in it, and points out birds, trains and pedestrians while travelling in style (though, with a helmet on, of course). Like a kid's car seat, this trailer is also the best thing to lull a kid to sleep when nap time is due. After five minutes, my boy is out like a light, and doesn't wake up until we're back home again.

As for me and my wife, this is an indispensable piece of exercise equipment: It has added hundreds of hours of needed exercise time to our lives, gotten us out into the great outdoors, and all without sacrificing quality time with the little one. Since she's now going to deliver another munchkin within a month, it ought to double our pleasure like Doublemint gum, as it can seat two, with plenty of elbow room.

5.0 out of 5 stars LIGHT TRAILER & EASY ASSEMBLY/DISSASEMBLY, July 29, 2007
This review is from: Burley Design Encore Child Bicycle Trailer (Sports)
I have a 4 year old girl and 5 year old boy who loves it everytime we go in biking trails. Very light. I bought it because of it is the lightest Burley made. 19.5 pounds, which helps towing my 4, 5 year old and a Lhasa Apso dog. Between all of them it must have been 100 lbs with the trailer... I added the stroller kit for jogging and strolling...

4.0 out of 5 stars Good trailer but bruised my son., June 29, 2008
This review is from: Burley Design Encore Child Bicycle Trailer (Sports)
The trailer is well built and has no issues going on flat ground or downhill. My son was complaining whenever I went up hill for me to stop, I would be standing and moving my bike back and forth. At first I had him on one side of the double trailer and then moved him to the middle but he complained in both positions. I was extremely surprised to see that he was bruised on his tail bone after about 1 hour of riding; it was the 3rd day of biking in a row that I noticed the bruise. I went to REI to buy a seat cushion for $20 as the Burley D'Lite padded seat is about $40. I think this will fix the problem. I can image many people may not have this same issue but if you like to stand went you go up hill, make sure you have extra padding or buy the D'Lite. I really like the trailer other than this one major point. I think the pad will make everything fine and as of now I would still suggest the trailer just with one caveat: get a pad for the seat.
