    Comments about Burley Solo Trailer - 2008:

    Extremely well designed trailer, very thoughtfully designed for full functionality. Suspension system. Comfortable for child. Straps keep them securely in place. "Trunk" in rear can fit a backpack or purse or bag of groceries. Easily attaches to bike with hitch. Very smooth ride. Fully waterproof. The straps and buckles are all elegantly placed for a good fit. I love the narrower width of the Solo--don't get a trailer for two unless your kids are close in age. Having great gear like this makes it such a pleasure to bicycle. I am biking my son to pre-school 4 miles each way and we love every minute. My only regret is I didn't buy it 8 years ago for my older son.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Burley Solo Trailer - 2008:

      We have the 2005 version of this trailer and LOVE it! We got it when my son was 6 mos old. It is easy to attach it to a bike and to transfer it to another bike. My husband and I like to take turns pulling it. My son is now 3 and weighs 30 lbs. The only time I can tell I am pulling the trailer is when we are going uphill. Otherwise nothing. I use it now to bike him to and from preschool (about 2.5 miles each way). It is very light and folds well. This may be our last year with it though as we are looking into trailer bikes for him since he can now bike on his own little bike.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
