Is the steel hook on the bottom retractable? I have to use the seat in a basketball gym where there is no place to use the hook.

It folds up and down. It will work fine for you with or without a place to hook. However, if its not hooked, you can't safely lean back like you can in a bleacher

No there's no lock. Press down firmly to keep it in place. It's made for easy adjustment so that is the reason it moves when you lift from the bottom. If your hitting it from the bottom it will move on you.

Not as far as I could tell. The metal bars of the cage go all the way underneath the pan, and I was never able to find any way to disconnect the cage part from the bars underneath. When I need to use the cage, I put newspapers in the bottom. I do not use it as often as I would if I could find a way to clean the bottom. I noticed another person who answered yes to your question, but I could not get it out at all.

The hooks you see at the back hooks onto the handlebars and the bottom of the hook attachment rests against the bike frame. It is very easy to take off, so my daughter has a little cable with a lock to keep it from being stolen.

Unfortunately, no. The seat has elastic hooks that hold the cover to the plastic frame which give the illusion that it can be removed and washed but it is permanently connected to the seat at the bottom. I don't know if that makes sense but I learned the hard way that it only looks as if it can be removed.

the strap should come up thru the hole in the rebound bar so it can be easily accessed, almost like you were going to put it in the seat with the little one. I just tighten it, then tuck it down so my son doesn't yank on it and tighten it more himself. I hope that helps

I've not had any problems. It has a slot to remove it is positioned in a way that to get it off you must lift straight up when the toddler seat is in the down position.

Yes. You can lock it at the top or adjust the rebound speed at the bottom with the supplied tool.

The bar that goes underneath the basket is bolted on. You can remove the bolts and bar from the basket if you wish.

It retracts fully, except when it doesn't. The weight needs to be installed at just the right location. If it runs into any under sink clutter it can hang up a bit. Usually a little jostling fixes it

No, it looks like the hook is built in and is not able to be removed. If you don't want to ever use it you could probably snap it off but you wouldn't be able to re-attach it.

Yes, it can be removed relatively easily by removing 4 removable pins that hold the seat into the included mounting brackets. It does rattle quite a bit---but that's because it a loose fit in the bracket to aid in removal. You can replace the pins with bolts if you want to lessen the rattle.

You can remove the seat but you will still have the metal bars (one vertical and one horizontal). Also, this trainer, while good for the price, does squeak once you get it going for several minutes. If you can spend more, do so. However, there aren't too many that have both the standing and sitting options. This was a primary deciding factor for me in my purchase of this trainer. If you can live without the seat, I would look perhaps to the Schwinn model in the same price range.

Yes, the hooks are removable . I would recommend buying extra hooks, there wasn't enough for me

There are small slots on the sides of the basket where the ends of the handle fits into. Honestly I never use the handle. It looks nice but it isn't very functional. It is a thin wire that is flimsy and barely supports the weight of the basket when it is empty. I just keep the handle on there for show. I pick up the basket as a whole. The rest of the basket is high quality and constructed well. I will take a picture of the side of the basket where the handles fit into. The handle simply slides into this area. If it were a more sturdy and thicker rod then it would be more useful. But for my purposes it is just fine. I mostly just leave the basket mounted on my rear bike rack.

Not at all. There is a bottom section that unhooks (4 small hooks, like bras have) so that you can use the restroom. Very convenient and comfortable.

yes it is. on mine there is an built in opening in the seam. the hoop is connected with plastic so if slide connection to the opening and disconnect it you could pull it out without cutting anything. Its not complicated. I have not tried it though.
