Been running the Burley Cub X for over a year now. I bring the kids everywhere in that thing and they love it. Off-road trails, rain storms, playground hopping, green market shopping, cruising the neighborhood... the Cub X handles it all with ease. We use it A LOT and it still looks new. The hard plastic tub/floor was the big selling point for me. I bring them through grassy fields and wooded trails all the time and was worried about asharp stick or rock lodging up and shooting through a fabric floor. That plastic tub adds peace of mind and rigidity. This is the type of trailer you can use for years. Already decided I'm gonna keep it once the kids out grow it. The seats fold away so it can double as a great little cargo trailer. Perfect for picnics at the park.
We have never used the cub X, but based on our experience with all of the other Burley trailers, it’s got to be excellent! Keep up the good work with your adventure family!
I hook it up to the E bike and shred the trails thrashing the kids. Upgraded to a 5 point harness, when his huge head turns the trailer drifts had to add a head rest to keep that gyroscope of a noggin in place
Thanks for the videos, helps a lot! We are deciding between burley honey bee and thule coaster txt. As kid may fall asleep in the trailer, We highly value comfort of the child. Is both using hammock seat? Would you recommend us getting burly honey bee and then get seat pad or coaster txt? Or the seat pad doesn't make a huge difference in comfort? Thanks for your advice in advance:)
The Honey Bee and Coaster XT both have hammock style seats. At the bottom of our review on our website, we offer a detailed comparison between those two trailers www.twowheelingtots.com/burley-honey-bee-review/
Can you please Review the Cybex Zeno! I’m struggling to find bike compatibility also! I’m trying to fit it to a Raleigh Motus with quick release skewer
You can read a more thorough comparison of the Bee and the Allen in our Burley Bee Review here. If you want to bike frequently, the upgrade is ABSOLUTELY worth is. Here's the review: www.twowheelingtots.com/burley-bee-bike-trailer-review/ But also, here's a brief overview of why the Burley Bee is better than the Allen T2: Overall design and components are much higher-quality and more durable Pulls smoother and quieter Trailer cover is thicker, better-quality fabric More interior space UV windows More storage space, which is also more secure Much easier to fold down for transportation and storage Quick release button for removing wheels Side battens prevent passengers from pushing against the trailer and hitting the wheels Easier initial assembly
Which single seat trailer would you recommend for tall 5 years old,city use and some light off road usage? Looking for the the most spacious and comfortable. I really appreciate your response!!
A five-year-old is going to outgrow a trailer very quickly. The Wike brand does make larger trailers primarily to accommodate older, special-needs kids.
At that point you'll need to look at other ways of bringing your kids along for the ride. Check out this article: www.twowheelingtots.com/bike-carrier-for-kids-and-babies/
A few inches difference in head room and leg room. You can see images and commentary about this in our written review on our website: www.twowheelingtots.com/allen-sports-bike-trailer-review/
We did test the Coaster XT. The review can be found here: www.twowheelingtots.com/thule-coaster-xt-review/ It's a good trailer, but not our favorite. We recommend the Burley Honey Bee at this price point.
@@Twowheelingtotsbikes Your channel is fantastic, thanks for the great reviews. I'm on the fence with the Thule Chariot Lite ($950 no tax brand new in box) vs. the Honey Bee ($500 + tax). I know the Chariot Lite for that price is a steal. Still steep but I am trying to convince my wife. I don't really jog or ski so I wasn't sure if I really needed the Chariot Lite but it just seems really sleek and nice.
It totally depends on the situation. Front mounted seats are the most fun way to ride, but trailers can be safer depending on terrain. They can also hold two kids, snacks, and toys!
It's an older version of the Cheetah XT. I'm not sure of the exact differences, but they both don't have suspension, which would be nice if you're going offroading.
It does quite well for what it is. Burley trailer push verrrrry smoothly. If you're planning on doing a lot of jogging, I would suggest looking at the brand Qeridoo. All of their trailers, (from the cheapest to most expensive) come standard with a single air stroller wheel that tucks under the body of the trailer. It's my favorite for jogging by far. Here's the Qeridoo Kidgoo review... you can see how the stroller works, even on their cheaper strollers - the Qeridoo Sportrex or Speedkid.
@@Twowheelingtotsbikes hiya, i'm very curious about the Qeridoo as well. We both jog a lot and want to jog with the babe (and her future sibling). We will also be riding trails in the near future. can you link that review?
The current designs for child carriers are simply not safe. The rear tow trailers are very vulnerable to being hit from behind and offer zero protection to kids. At the very least impact absorbing materials and roll cages should be compulsory for child carrying trailers.
When used correctly, bike trailers that meet ASTM safety standards are very safe. Burley is a great example of a trailer company that takes safety very seriously. Oddly, there is no required safety standard for bike trailers, but Burley was instrumental in creating an ASTM standard that is voluntary. All good trailer brands will meet or exceed the standards. Take a look at this article by Burley to see how seriously these companies are taking safety. burley.com/pages/the-burley-standard

Be careful as these trailers actually tip over quite easily at higher speeds and are not designed for impact at higher speeds by any means!

Extremely helpful review. Definitely narrowed it down for me. I have to know where you are riding, it looks so green and magical.
We shot footage for this video in many locations,but you're probably referring to Bentonville, Arkansas.
@two wheeling tots, does the Thule Chariot come with suspension?
Yes, both the Lite and Cross models have suspension.
Thank you for these videos. We just ordered the Burley Encore X for our mostly paved surface biking. Can't wait to start using it!
We're so happy our review was helpful to you! Happy riding!
Can you please Review the Cybex Zeno! I’m struggling to find bike compatibility also! I’m trying to fit it to a Raleigh Motus with quick release skewer
We do not plan to review the Cybex, but can you be more specific about the compatibility issues you’re having on your bike?
If I already have an Allen t2, is getting a burley bee a meaningful enough upgrade to be worth it?
You can read a more thorough comparison of the Bee and the Allen in our Burley Bee Review here. If you want to bike frequently, the upgrade is ABSOLUTELY worth is.
Here's the review: www.twowheelingtots.com/burley-bee-bike-trailer-review/
But also, here's a brief overview of why the Burley Bee is better than the Allen T2:
Overall design and components are much higher-quality and more durable
Pulls smoother and quieter
Trailer cover is thicker, better-quality fabric
More interior space
UV windows
More storage space, which is also more secure
Much easier to fold down for transportation and storage
Quick release button for removing wheels
Side battens prevent passengers from pushing against the trailer and hitting the wheels
Easier initial assembly
Which single seat trailer would you recommend for tall 5 years old,city use and some light off road usage?
Looking for the the most spacious and comfortable.
I really appreciate your response!!
A five-year-old is going to outgrow a trailer very quickly. The Wike brand does make larger trailers primarily to accommodate older, special-needs kids.
How do you deal with the max height limit? Most Burley trailers are limited to only 105cm
At that point you'll need to look at other ways of bringing your kids along for the ride. Check out this article: www.twowheelingtots.com/bike-carrier-for-kids-and-babies/
For 7 years old, what model do you recomend?
7 is too old for a standard bike trailer. You could try the Weehoo Turbo. www.twowheelingtots.com/weehoo-turbo-review/
@@Twowheelingtotsbikes thanks!
I'd recommend the Kinderkraft trailer which is waaaay larger than other trailers
Any idea on the dimensions of the Allen sports S2 vs T2. I can’t find dimensions of the t2 anywhere online
A few inches difference in head room and leg room. You can see images and commentary about this in our written review on our website: www.twowheelingtots.com/allen-sports-bike-trailer-review/
Have you tried the Thule Coaster XT? Looks like it didn't make the list? Was it one of the ones you tested?
We did test the Coaster XT. The review can be found here: www.twowheelingtots.com/thule-coaster-xt-review/
It's a good trailer, but not our favorite. We recommend the Burley Honey Bee at this price point.
@@Twowheelingtotsbikes Thank you for the reply! Also, great review video!

Have you tried the ClevrPlus Venturer 3-in-1 Double bike trailer? I am curious how it compares. Thanks!
We have not tested any trailers by that brand.
how do you prevent it from being stolen?
You just have to store it in a safe place. They don’t lock to the bike.
you could probable cable lock through the frame of the stroller and both detachable wheels. Weird question.
Sus question 🤨🤔
The Thule has a lock to the frame :)
Will these attach to an adult trike?
we have never tried this, but probably not. The trailer needs to be centered behind a rear wheel.
curious as to why you prefer a trailer over a front seat?
It totally depends on the situation. Front mounted seats are the most fun way to ride, but trailers can be safer depending on terrain. They can also hold two kids, snacks, and toys!
How is thule chariot cheetah 1 different from xt?
It's an older version of the Cheetah XT. I'm not sure of the exact differences, but they both don't have suspension, which would be nice if you're going offroading.
Available in Indonesia ? where do I get it ?
We don't know anything about supply in Indonesia. Sorry!
If you updated this list, where would the Qeridoo Kidoo 2 make it?
YES. Absolutely! It's on our website list. Unfortunately we can't update TH-cam videos after they are published.
What is the max passenger age for these trailers roughly --- four?
It's always weight, not age. Depending on the brand, it's 40 pounds or 48.5 pounds per child. But that is generally 4 or 5 years old.
Very helpful, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Life changing experience

Bad sales pitch. Only focused on family. Dislike.
We are a family biking website, so that's always going to be our angle.
