(does it count as resistance training).
I reckon it does! Ours is 40-50 kgs with both boys and stuff in the back.
It’s **** marvellous. It’s a short cut to getting some adventure back in your life. That first trip out with no1 in the trailer was such a well-needed, big, deep, breath of fresh air and relief, and freedom! And with another buddy or two along with you. 😀p
Great stuff. Mine have long since outgrown the d'lite, but now we have new adventures with them on their Islabikes. Lots of done memories though.
We had a Burley one, don’t remember the model sorry. Quality was good without the high cost of some of the others. Kept it in good mock so resale value was good too. Packed down reasonably well for holidays etc.
I've got one of these Bellelli (bought for much less than this listing)

Good points, solid floor, folds down well. Two toddlers fit ok out of the rain and wind.
Bad points. Mag wheels, whoever thought it was a good idea to add a heavy wheel to a already heavy trailer is an idiot. Wide. Difficult on anything but road or double track and then you're watching for bumps in the middle all the time.
If I was doing it again I would go for something more like this if I could get a second hand one.4

They don't have to pedal but the narrow form and tracking single wheel just would make towing much easier.
As much as Jnr loves the bike seat for being able to see
We kept the trailer(used croozer twin ) for horrid days.
Getting her out the rain and wind means that it's not weather dependant.
There's only so much clothing you can put on in a seat and still have safe restraint
We've got the Burley D'lite (double, with suspension), and the little folding wheel that converts it to a double pram (which is pretty neat, because it doesn't need removing every time). It's an expensive setup, but I think we'll get our money's worth. Storage is an issue, both at home and at nursery, when I do start taking both kids there. It also makes for a very big double pram, although we don't spend much time with it on city pavements or shops.
While I'm only taking one kid to nursery, I prefer the Hamax seat. As for drivers - I was immediately disuaded from using the trailer on my local roads after the first few rides. Where I am (Cardiff), drivers give me no more space with the trailer than they normally do (which is bad enough as it is). So, it'll just be for nursery runs and holidays / adventures (although it does take up a lot of boot space).
Saying that, in theory the trailer should be great for the nursery run. I have a mostly traffic-free route, I won't need to bundle the kids up in bad weather, I just need to find somewhere to stash it during the day (our nursery doesn't have much spare space).
It's also awesome off-road - I've had no issues on some of the easier trails around here.
I've got one of the Halfords singles, great piece of kit, the yo yo feel when the spring in the connecting arm moves reminds me to pedal smoother.
I have had an accident using it, on a walking/cycle path going through some a s bend I high sided the trailer onto its side and dragged it for a metre or two... very thankful the child had a helmet on and the 5 point harness held him still, child was shaken but not injured. No lasting issue as have used trailer few times since then, wasnt the best parenting moment hearing the noise of something sliding and looking around to see it on its side!
