Default Burley trailer use with baby and toddler

You can strictly follow the guidelines written by the Burley lawyers or
you can use common sense. How exactly is a car seat secured to a burley
less safe than without?

The reason this warning is there is because of the possibility of some
idiot just setting a car seat unsecured in the trailer...no written
warning and this idiot can sue burley and probably win...there's no
other reason.


It might be a hidden hazard, which they would do better to explain than

not.

In particular, the roughness of the ride increases dramatically if the
child is lightweight. His mass does not diminish shocks by making the
suspension take them up, like a larger child.

The suspension is designed for a specific weight range. Too heavy

compresses
it too much and too light never enables it.


So a 30 pound child is okay, but a 10 pound car seat plus a 20 pound
child is too heavy?

I put a car seat in my d'lite, but it essentially took up the whole trailer.
It was fastened securely to the trailer, not just placed in there. I suspect
that Burley is worried about people not securing the car seat to the
trailer.
