Perfect for my Pomeranian
Took Romeo for our first Mommy/Doggy bike ride today.
He didn't like the basket until we started moving, the he just kicked back and let the "breeze" go through his hair. Maybe when mommy gets in a little better shape, we'll be able to work up to the "wind" in his hair!
My basket came with the main attachment strap that goes in the bottom of the basket in addition to 2 smaller adjustable straps that attach to rings at the top on either side. I suppose they could be used for an additional dog (if very light dogs) or for keys or maybe just to add a little more security to your pup.
I chose to leave to top down for now until Romeo and I both get used to it.
I did not get a picture of us on the road today, but I am using the basket with a 7lb. Pomeranian and have it attached to a Huffy Cranbrook Cruiser (mint green/light tan). Both are pictured.
Overall the basket felt very sturdy (not the one pictured on the bike, we returned that...
Just me, my puppy, and my bike!
This is absolutely worth every penny! My 6 lb Pomeranian Winnie absolutely loves going for bike rides with me. She will literally go up to my bike and put her front paws on the frame and stare at me. Before I decided to purchase this basket, Winnie was having to make due with a small black metal basket that was not meant for dogs at all. I had to tie her leash to my handlebars (for safety of course!) and place a small blanket in the basket to make it somewhat comfortable for her. Then when I searched for "pet, bicycle, basket" on Google, Solvit Tagalong Wicker Bicycle Basket was the first thing that popped up in the shopping search.
Before installing it on the bicycle, I placed the basket on the floor and coaxed Winnie into it. She loves it! I left her in there to get comfy and adjusted and found that she can move around and lay down comfortably. However, when I placed the canopy on the basket her ears went back a bit and I could tell she was a bit more timid and maybe even...
Sturdy, very roomy for 14 lb dog! Highly recommend this one!
After researching every front mounting dog bike carrier out there I decided on this one mostly because it was "hard" and it had the biggest dimensions. I actually tried one of the little dog trailers you pull but she hated not being up front with me. I recieved it in only 2 days (Yay!) and hubby put it right on. I have a 14 lb. shih tzu mix (yea Iknow she is over the 13 lbs) and she had plenty of room. I am lucky cuz my dog sits pretty still, (if she moves around alot the weight shift can cause difficulty with steering.)
There were no problems like previous reviews suggest about the basket tipping forward, you just need to use the 2 straps provided that fasten to the handlebars to keep that from happening. The basket is very sturdy, my dog feels very secure in it. If there was anything negative to be said about it, it would be that the strap that hooks to the bottom of the basket that secures to your dogs harness or collar is not long enough (for my dog anyway) so I attached...
