Two Passengers, All Models (Except Solo

):

For two children, use both shoulder harnesses and two outer crotch straps.
1. If your trailer was set up for single-child use, reverse the process above in

the Single Passenger section. Set up the restraint system for two children,
with the male portion of each Y-buckle facing the center of each
seating position.

2. Attach the center support strap with the O-ring.
3. Seat the first child on one side of

the trailer.

4. Snap shoulder straps into the Y-buckle,

with the buckle positioned at the child’s
sternum.

5. Make sure the shoulder straps are adjusted

so that the child cannot move too far
forward in the seat.

6. Repeat for the second child.
7. Fasten and adjust both lap belts so they

are snug.

Child and cyclist must wear helmets when trailering. Helmets

can prevent or significantly reduce head injury in event of accident.
The junction of Y-buckle must be positioned at child’s sternum to work

correctly. Belts or buckles positioned near your child’s neck can cause

discomfort or serious injury. Check child periodically to ensure that

he/she has not slipped from correct seated position.

WARNING

Hitching your Burley to Your Bicycle

The Burley standard trailer hitch was designed to quickly and safely attach
to virtually all types of bicycles. It is attached to the left rear dropout (the
non-chainring side) of your bicycle.
1. Remove the quick release lever assembly from your bike and set it aside.
2. Line up the hole on the flat side of the hitch upper arm with the left

rear dropout hole.

3. Reassemble the quick release assembly through the hitch and dropout,

but don’t tighten it yet.

4. Slide the hitch receiver end of the tongue between the two hitch side

arms, and line up the holes. The hitch should clear any racks, bags, or
fittings you have on your bicycle. If there is any interference, contact
your Authorized Burley Dealer.

5. Open the retaining pin and insert the pin through the holes.
6. Rotate the pin’s spring clip and close the pin.
7. Now tighten the quick release lever, with the lever pointing to the rear

of the bike. When properly adjusted, you will feel resistance halfway
through tightening the lever (when the lever is pointing straight out
away from the bike).

8. Wrap the safety strap around the inside of the chain stay twice and then

over the hitch body. Fasten the hook to the D-ring on the underside of
the tongue end.

The quick release lever must be in

the closed position. Do not operate

the trailer without the hitch safety

strap properly installed. A dangling

safety strap can contact spokes

and damage the rear wheel or

cause an accident resulting in

serious injury. The hitch must

not interfere with racks, bags,

or fittings. Inspect the hitch and

tongue frequently for damage or

loose fasteners. Interfering parts

or damaged hitch can cause an

accident resulting in serious injury.
