We put a large pillow or a folded blanket in the bottom to give our 14 pound dog a comfortable, stable platform to sit & stand as he chooses. There is no 'floor' to the trailer, only the nylon fabric which is not suitable for most pets. We leave the top cover unattached, so we also modified a leash that is lashed to one of the rear frame rails at a length that prevents our dog from jumping out, but still give him leeway to move around in the trailer.

I wouldn't know but it seems that it would work just fine. It would need to be a dog that is comfortable in riding and would not try to jump out along the way. I don't think there would be any way to restrain a dog inside the carrier.

My 13 lb fur companion is a very calm passenger, but I would not want him to weigh any more. I have a lightweight bike and the basket alone is enough to tip my bike if I am not careful to angle the handlebars the right way. Also, both nylon straps that secure the basket to the handlebars have broke. I have replaced them with small dog collars.It is a great basket, but not for 24 pounds.

I haven't but for small dogs less than 30lbs I think it would work fine. If you have a persistent dog or jumper, it could knock over 1 or 2 isolated panels, so use more for stability. With all 8 panels, you will have a huge doggie corral.

The dog only has a few inches of slack left or right so I've never had a problem with my pup running into the bike. He tends to pull forward and away from the bike but since you can have two hands on the handle bar its easy to control. I have a 1year old high energy English Cream Golden. I use this at least 1-2 times a week - I'd recommend it.

Hi Laceface, we bought one of these last year and used it with our 90 pounds bernese mountain dog. We usually go for a ride of 3 or 4 hours. Our dog run aside our bike for 10-15 minutes and then rest for a good 30 minutes in the pet trailer, and repeat.... it is very easy to handle. You can feel a movement when the dog change position from sitting to lying down. We really appreciate being able to bike, without rushing back home and the dog like it, it is just funny to see the face of people crossing our road...beside taking fresh air and exercise we LOL... enjoy and have fun chantal

dog is secure - but if you go down it does spook the dog and he/she will try to bolt (which they would do anyway just from the sound) - I absolutely LOVE the bike tow leash - I feel that the dog is safe and secure and so am I - - my border collie lab (70+lbs) loves it and so do I - great product

I did but I think it would depend on the size of the bikes. It is tight with two.

It's a great device, but I stopped using it for a while. My dog is way too energetic. He chases the front wheels and I never have to pedal! He's so hyper that getting on and off the bike is a challenge. And now we've started to jog with him, so it's not so important to us. This probably didn't answer your question very well. I do think it's a good device, though. Of course, every dog is different.

Yes, my friend's cocker spaniel was jumping on the wheel too. My friend tried to bike with her dog initially on my bike with a tow leash. She liked it a lot, yesterday she already got her own.

My boyfriend and I rode together all day - so about 360 lbs. and it never broke. And, he rode alone with our husky puppy pulling him just fine.

Yes! My German Shepherd tried to dart across the front of the bike to get to a squirrel and the angle she took (because it is attached at the rear of the bike) was through the front wheel. I thought a crash was imminent, but it kept her from even touching the wheel. I have an Aussie as well who loves to chase squirrels and was always a challenge to keep focused on walks... She is "cured" of that with this attachment. She tried to dart at first and the attachment keeps her from going anywhere and I barely felt a tug. My dogs are 70 pounds and 65 pounds

While I haven't fallen while riding my bike with the leash attached, I could speak to something close. I got off the bike to pick up after my dog, and once or twice my bike has fallen over while he's still attached. He wasn't struck by the bike falling over in either direction - the leash body is long enough that he was still away from it. Same thing happens if you were to just lay your bike down - there's room for your dog to still be clear.This thing really does work great.

No, but it works great with a 9 lb miniature dachshund. (With a poise pad attached)

If the pet isn't too heavy and does not move around a lot in the carrier most likely you could use the backpack feature. Would depend on the bike also; if it has dropped handlebars there would be stress on your back from the weight (again, depends on weight of your pet).

The pet carrier we purchased has worked well for us. Our dog is 20 lbs.and we could have used a bigger one, but it works. We ride a trike and it straps on th carrier rack real good. We wish we could have gotten any colorbut black it is to hot.

Yes it does, we took our first ride with our doggie today and it was awesome :-)

I wouldn't trust putting my pet in it, especially because this basket is on the rear of the bicycle. If I were you I would try this instead. It is what I was going to buy for my dog.Solvit 62331 Tagalong Wicker Bicycle Basket
