Is this basket safe to put a small dog for a very slow ride around the neighorhood? 6lb Maltese, states it can hold 12 lbs, small blanket for comfort

We mainly use the basket to hold things like cycling accessories, such as locks & cables, water bottles, and towels. However, we have also used it to carry small merchandise, such as a bottle of wine, loaf of fresh bread, or other items that are not too heavy. We have never used it to carry an animal, however. I guess one would have to figure out a way to be sure the dog does not leap out, but it seems like it might work. Since we have not tested it for this purpose, though, it would be hard to vouch for its safety or suitability.

A small dog will fit, as long as they do not jump. I have a Minpin, thou he is a lil too big for basket plus he was scared.

I don't know how comfortable your dog would be. It is a somewhat deep basket and oddly shaped (not round...more of an oval shape). My dog is too large to ride in the basket. The best thing I could suggest is to try it and if it doesn't work out, send it back.

Your puppy should be fine... I had a puppy in mine that was a friends he kept trying to get in so we put him there. He is about 5-6 lbs and no problems.. Good luck.

I have a 10-11 pound Chihuahua and he fits just perfect so I think it would be fine for your 6 lb. Maltese. He would definitely be comfortable and have a little extra room. It depends on you if you don't mind carrying a bigger tote but it has two side pockets which are useful for food, leashes and/or portable food and water containers. I like mine when I travel with him and want to be inconspicuous.

My style of bike there would not be enough room for another rack under the basket. As far as weight limit, for the question of holding a 24 pound dog, it's basket depth as well as design~ my personal opinion is it's not gonna hold 24 pounds, more for under 10 lbs, like a pair of shoes,a 2 liter of soda & some sandwiches. In my general use it held a small purse backpack & water without effecting steering too badly.

My stroller was great for a year, but now the basket is fraying and I don't think it is repairable. I think for the price it should last longer. I have only used it as directed and have used it for my 9lb Maltese, which is way below the weight limit.

check out the specifications on line. they tell you 12 pounds, but it is ackward to handle, I suggest one with a slit in the seat for grabbing to fold=up. I take the back off when I travel as I don't need that and I don't need it when I sit either, I also take off the basket underneath and carry a bag on the handles. if I need to put stuff somewhere. It is very good for someone who needs it for support. I wish there was one that could fold up and could easily be walked beside, but these things have wheels that don't roll that direction when folded.

Anymore than 12-15lbs and it will start whipping around. There is no bracing for the legs coming up from the fork boss to the basket. Very light weight legs and mounting brackets to handlebars. I have had 30lbs in it, but that is an unwanted adventure. Any one that would put a 33lb dog in this basket, is a little crazy. You need an 159 basket for that. This is made for a light picnic, that is all.

No more than 15 lbs. my dog is a Maltese and weighs about 15 lbs. and it is fine for him

I haven't used it in this fashion but it's big enough for a 10 lb dog although I'm not sure how safe it would be. It's not really deep. If I were you I'd get a basket with more depth so that the dog wouldn't fall out while riding.

It has a hook type clasp on the end, you could probably fix something up that would allow you to connect both of then to the security strap. My dog is just under 10 lbs and fits in fine, she is able to lay on her side and extend her legs in it or if curled up she takes up about 1/2 of the space so you might be able to get to 5 lb dogs in it especially is they sleep curled up, 2 could probably set in it for riding.

Best for small dogs. My dog is 16 pounds and I rarely use the home...only for discipline. And when he was 12 pounds the base was not strong enough to carry him. It is a very nice item for small dogs.

Approximately 19". It would probably work for a small dog. I know I used to have two Maltese and I think both of them could've use this to get on my big bed

No. My Maltese dog is 13 lbs. He fits in the seat fine. I have seen seats for two dogs in some catalogues but the're pricey. They can only sit up and can't lay down.

I have used in many times - short and long trips - with two dogs - golden about 70 lbs and a lab about 55 lbs with no trouble ! I love it you can store a lot under it too. I do however use my original 'hammock' type seat cover over it - I don't like the gap it leaves between the end if it and the backOf the car seat -

I have a 15 pound dog that fits in this, but I have to put a wedge shaped foam in the bottom to make him comfortable. The basket is too small for him to curl up in, so he can't lie down. But with the wedge foam, he lies down on that and keeps his head above the basket rim.

I have two small dogs-the leash can not be adjusted small enough to have controll of the dogs. They would fall off the seat and hang. If your dog was larger it would be no problem .MY DOGS ARE ABOUT 12lbs.

Not a real baby, right? I bought this as a decorative basket to keep hair accessories in. It's sturdy, but I wouldn't put a lot of weight in it. It's not meant for that.

I'm not sure if I knew this to begin with because I relied on 'size' of the carrying area rather than weight, but, I can tell you that my little dog is 12 lbs and has plenty of room inside and doesn't even cause a feeling of weight in it to hold or push. This item is 'very' sturdy, just like a stroller for a young child or baby. I imagine it could easily hold up to 20 lbs without bother. I love this stroller. It's so easy, light weight for me to handle when out alone with my doggy.
