Starting and Stopping

Because of the trailer’s additional weight, a bicycle pulling a trailer will be

slower to start and stop, and because of its length, requires more time to

cross streets or paths. Your entire vehicle is heavier and less responsive.

Think ahead and anticipate stops, turns and starts. Note that your trailer ex-

tends further out on the left; allow for this difference when turning, passing

pedestrians or approaching obstacles, such as posts on bike paths. Experi-

ment with a loaded trailer in an uncongested area to become familiar with

how your heavier, longer vehicle responds.

Prevent Trailer Tip Over

Like automobile and motorcycle trailers, bicycle trailers can tip over. Do not

pull your trailer over curbs or hit holes or other road obstructions. Instruct

children not to bounce or lean, which can cause a shift of weight. Do not

make high-speed turns or descents when pulling the trailer. Always corner

with caution at 5 mph or less, as the trailer cannot lean into a turn the way

a bicycle can. Do not travel faster than 15 mph—all road irregularities and

your slower reaction time are greatly magniﬁed.

Trailers can tip over, causing damage to trailer and serious injury to

cyclist or passengers. AVOID causes of tip over, especially:

WARNING

• Children leaning or bouncing

• Hitting potholes, curbs, other

road obstructions

• Taking turns too fast

• Sudden swerving

• Off-banked turns

• Improper wheel installation

• Improper tire inﬂation

No Motorized Vehicles

Never pull your Burley trailer with a motorized vehicle, as the increased ac-

celeration and speed could damage the trailer or cause it to tip over.

Always Use Your Cover

To protect your children from ﬂying debris, always use your cover. Never leave

children unattended in direct sunlight, as heat buildup in the trailer can

cause serious harm. Open or close the vinyl window and periodically check

to make sure your children are comfortable.

Wear Helmets

Numerous studies have shown that head injury is the leading cause of bi-

cycling fatalities. Helmets prevent or reduce bicyclists’ head injuries; it is

essential that both cyclist and passengers use approved bicycling helmets

at all times.

Proper Wheels and Tires are Essential

Use only the factory-supplied wheels, and keep them properly maintained.

Inﬂate tires to 30–35 P.S.I. and check pressure before each use. Do not use

higher-pressure tires or knobbies. We recommend using only tires with street

tread.

Know Your Trailer Hitch

Clamp the hitch securely to the bicycle frame, and check for a tight attach-

ment each time you use the trailer. Refer to “Hitching Your Burley to Your

Bicycle” and “Maintenance and Storage” sections of this manual for proper

installation, use and maintenance of your hitch.

Use Your Flag

Always use the safety ﬂag—it will help make you more visible to motorists and

other cyclists.

Protect Your Children

Use the shoulder harness, lap belt, and child helmets on your children at

all times. Always fasten the seat belt so that each child is held securely. For

maximum stability and safety, seat a single child in the center of the trailer.

Periodically check placement of the shoulder straps, especially for sleeping

children. Make sure children cannot put a ﬁnger into the wheel spokes.

Observe Age and Height Restrictions

The trailer seat is intended only for children old enough to wear a helmet

and sit upright and alone. Adequate neck strength is required to hold his/her

head upright while trailering. A physician should evaluate anyone who is of

questionable developmental age for trailering. Never carry a child whose sit-

ting height (with helmet) is above the roll bar, because their chance of injury

is signiﬁcantly higher in the event of a tip over.
