would this basket be strong enough to carry my yorkie, who weighs 4#s?

Yes, my neighbors have a Yorkie that loves to ride. It's quite sturdy if attached properly.

My long panda dog/beagle mix does not and she is only 6 lbs. because the holes are too close together for her tall body. I would think a yorkie would be okay. She liked it, but couldn't fit. Trying a sling bag instead.

I would not recommend. It's a great basket for everything else. I would look for one that is designed for dogs and with a cover for safety

I use it for my two yorkies when we go traveling. One is 6 pounds and the other is 6.5 pounds. Its pretty sturdy. I love it.

I have 3 yorkies (2 @ 2lbs each and one is 3.5lbs) would this stroller be ok for all three)

As I have Corgis, and they are about 30 lbs, the size would be appropriate. If you are planning on carrying the carrier with the dog in it, I doubt if it would work well, as these usually don't have a solid floor that you would need to support the dog. Also, unless the dog is crate trained, I would suggest a bit sturdier carrier. I've had a dog literally "walk" the carrier across the floor, when left alone. This dog was not crate trained. I would always suggest a carrier with a solid floor for any dog that is not crate trained. I hope this helps you.

Yes, I bought this for my Yorkie that is just shy of 4lbs. She loves it and feels secure in it.

Hi, I have a 4lb yorkie and she fits well but I think if she were double her size it may be way too tight :( sorry

I don't think so. My dog is a 10 lbs Terrier and he fills up the basket. I don't think a dog twice as big could fit comfortably, much less trust the basket with 25 lbs.

I braced my pet basket with a front carrier and a piece of timber which would handle the load you described. However, I would be worried about the bike stability and riding safely, particularly if the dogs moved around a little. I think I'd prefer an arrangement mounted to the rear carrier for improved balance.

Sure. My Yorkies are 7 lbs each and both fit with room. They love riding together and can see out of all sides well.

From my experience with Wald's rear baskets, as far as weight goes, I'd say sure, if it were 16 lbs of groceries. But with all respect to everyone who has replied, because it's your dog, I would ask the manufacturer. For liability's sake, they might tell you no in any case, but maybe they have better recommendation. Or you might ask your vet if he's seen mishaps or special carriers.

It's pretty sturdy so I would think it could hold at least up to 20#. If your pet weighs more than just carry the carrier in your arms instead of by the handles and it should stay secure.

I do believe it would hold a 24lb dog. It is very sturdy. As far as a front carrier rack, my bike wouldn't have room for the rack under the basket, but every bike is different. I have a Schwinn beach cruiser.

My 4lb yorkie fits perfectly. I dont think your baby will fit a small. If my dog gains a pound, this will be too tight. But its well built and very cool.

I think the basket would hold the weight if it is a smaller tank. basket is very sturdy. One of my best purchases to help my mother.

I bought it for my yorkie who is 3 pounds and just put a blanket in it. Otherwise he couldn't see out. I've used mine numerous times and works well. If you are putting 2 smaller yorkies in it I still think you will need something. It seems pretty sturdy but haven't tried it with more than 3 pound and not too sure it's safe for two dogs.
