Burley Honey Bee, 2 Seat Kids Bike Trailer & Stroller

Parenting is basically just trying to get your kids to leave the house without someone melting down — including yourself. The Burley Honey Bee has made it almost effortless.Assembly So Easy Even Sleep-Deprived Parents Can Handle It:Right out of the box, setup was a breeze. No confusing tools or three-hour YouTube rabbit holes needed. I had it assembled faster than it usually takes my toddler to put on one sock. (And that’s saying something.)Smooth Ride, Happy Kids, Happy Me:Towing this thing feels incredibly easy — almost suspiciously easy. I kept looking back thinking surely this is heavier, but nope — the Honey Bee just glides. The kids (2 and 4 years old) sit comfortably with the 5-point harnesses, pointing out “big trucks!” and “puppies!” the entire ride. I get exercise, they get entertainment, and nobody asks for a snack every 5 minutes. It’s a win-win-win.Bonus Stroller Mode = Peak Parenting Flexibility:The stroller conversion is a genius move. We can bike to the farmers’ market, pop the stroller wheel on, and instantly be ready to stroll through crowds like we’ve got our life together. The adjustable handlebar is great too — no slouching or weird hunchback poses needed.Cargo Space for Days:The storage compartment is massive. I can fit a diaper bag, snacks, random sticks and rocks the kids find “treasures,” and still have room left over. It’s like a trunk for all the questionable life choices you accumulate during a family outing.Safety Features Are Top-Notch:Tinted windows? Check. Water-resistant cover for unexpected “surprise rain”? Check. Helmet pocket so kids don’t get shoved forward uncomfortably? Big check. Burley clearly understands that safety + comfort = fewer meltdowns.Minor Notes (But Definitely Not Deal Breakers):The seats are hammock-style, which is fine for everyday rides but probably not ideal if you’re planning to have the kids nap in it. And while it handles sidewalks and paved trails like a champ, you’ll feel every bump if you go full “adventure mode” on rougher paths. (Pro tip: just pretend it’s an “off-road safari” to keep the kids entertained.)Final Verdict:If you’re dreaming of family bike rides that don’t end in chaos, buy this trailer. It’s easy to use, super practical, and makes you feel like you’re absolutely crushing this whole parenting thing — even if you’re mostly powered by caffeine and hope.

I have two boys ages 4 and 7. I am triathlon training and have had to come up with some creative ways to get my training in. When I realized I wanted a trailer for my bike, I marveled at the low-price ($100-200 range) options but ultimately went with the Honey Bee. I liked the stroller-conversion, the higher weight limit than competitors' models, and the Burley emphasis on safety.ASSEMBLY. I didn't have the awesome experience others did, mostly because so much of the trailer was already assembled (the instructions were written as if I'd have to do about 50% more than I actually had to do --- that was confusing, especially for someone who's never even been close to a bike trailer in real life). Burley, y'all should fix this (there were also some references to throwing away bolts/nuts that actually had to be reused...that was confusing, too). The pictures could be better, too. But the trailer is clearly very well designed and sturdy. Very impressive. It was easy to assemble once I figured out Burley had done most of the work already.SIZE/COMFORT. My boys are a combined 80 lbs, so the 100 lb weight limit was attractive. They were reasonably comfortable (it's good they're both on the smaller side), and my younger one in particular loved it! We rode for over an hour, almost 10 miles (for the record, my average speed was about 3mph slower hauling the trailer; I'm always aiming for a low heartrate on these rides). The younger one wanted to keep going. My older one is now hopefully inspired to learn to ride his bike. Their comment was that they felt like they were riding in a "racecar!" They liked the flag a lot, too. Oh, the older one had a hard time fitting in there with his helmet on. Younger one was OK. Burley is one of the few brands I saw that has a special "pocket" to allow space for kids' helmets.STORAGE CAPACITY. Amazing. I could put a few bags of groceries back there no problem (but I'd be coming right up on the weight limit if I had both kids with me). I was shocked by how big the storage compartment was. The kids enjoyed the mesh compartments in their cabin, too. Water bottles fit fine. I want to find a water bottle holder to clip to the handle bar for me to use while running, but I did OK.HANDLING. Wow, you'd never know you were hauling around 100 lbs of kid+trailer back there. I was really impressed. It was tough going up some hills, but I did it. We rode on a paved biking/walking trail, and at one point one tire fell off the edge (about a 6-12" drop) when I had to pass some walkers. I thought "this is the end!" at first, but then, hallelujah, the wheel popped back up onto the trail! I was relieved. I thought I'd have to stop and haul it back onto the trail myself, but it was fine, and there was no damage.STROLLER. I was worried that it wouldn't be a good jogging stroller, but it does great! My older child rode his scooter, and the other one rode in the stroller for a bit and scooted for a bit (the storage compartment had plenty of room to store any inactive scooters). I don't think I ever pushed them both in the same time, but it would have been fine. I'll be interested to see how the front (plastic) wheel holds up. The transition from Trailer to Stroller is unbelievably simple. Just pull on the wheel and rotate to the position you want.FOLDING. This thing collapses really well, but unfolding/setting it up takes some muscle: It was a lot harder for me to "snap together" the two rods at the top than the instructions let on. I had to really push on it, standing behind it and tilting it toward the ground for leverage. I suspect that will get easier. But anyway, I've taken the wheels on and off several times now because that's how it fits best in my car. Wheel removal couldn't be easier.SCREENS. The mesh screen and plastic cover are nice. I haven't quite figured out how to really secure those down (and the manual appears oddly silent on that issue), so I'll consult a video. They're Velcro-based closures, not zippers. We didn't use the plastic "windshield," but it stayed rolled up with no problem, and it's quite thick/sturdy.FLAG HOLDER. Another review says the flag holder is inadequate to do the job. Mine's flag holder is so sturdy, I couldn't figure out how to turn it around so the flag would face up with the handle bar in the "trailer" (as opposed to "stroller") position! So maybe they've tweaked that. (Eventually I did manage to coax the flag holder to spin to the other side.)You WILL need to put air in the tires before you use it. The tire pressure didn't even give a reading on my gauge when I tested it. But that's to be expected.Bottom line: I want to go back in time and take up cycling when the kids were 1 and 4! But I'm glad I got it, and I'm even glad I paid a premium for the "brand name." It was fun getting my brick (bike/run) workout in AND having fun with my kids at the same time, knowing that they could sit and ride if they got tired. And we had plenty of space for snacks and water and other essentials. I know I'll haul my 4-year-old around in it for a couple seasons, at least. And it'll be in great shape to re-home when they're big enough to ride alongside me.

Amazing product for multiple uses! Easy to fold down and take with you, easy to attach to bike or convert to stroller. Worth the money and has plenty of storage room!

We bought this a year ago and absolutely LOVE this bike trailer and use it as our stroller now too when taking walks around the neighborhood. We even packed it up in our SUV to take it to the ball park and it worked great. My girls who are almost 5 and 2 are obsessed with it and often ask to go on bike rides. It’s a super comfy ride for them and my husband always comments on how smooth it is around turns and in general when riding behind us. I wanted a bike trailer because I love riding my bike and wanted to make it something we could all do together and I’m so happy we’ve been able to get so much use and quality time out of it. I didn’t use it as much last summer because my youngest was only one and didn’t enjoy it as much but now with her being a little older, she loves it and sits in it even if we’re not going for a ride/walk.It is 100% worth the price. I am so glad we went with Burley because the ride is so smooth, it is SAFE, doubling as a stroller is awesome versatility, and the storage space in the back is super nice. I’ve added an extra stroller storage attachment to the back handle so I can take my water while walking or to put the girls’ waters bc it does get a little tight when trying to add water bottles to their seating area.We leave the trailer open in the garage most of the time but it does fold up pretty nicely if needed. It took me a minute to figure out how to fold it up but Burley’s videos are helpful. Once I got it, it’s easy to do when needed.Overall I highly recommend this product. If you’re thinking about it, go with this one!!
