Does anyone else have trouble snapping this onto their bike? Is there some trick I don't know about?

The trick is to make sure the two flanges on the top of the adapter fall under the ring and then gently, so that it clicks in. After a few tries you will notice how easy it is.

Line the top part of the black bracket up to the silver bar on the basket so it just sits in place, you may need to move it on a slight angle for it to line up. Once lined up and just sitting there push it downwards causing the red locking section to grab onto it snapping it in place. After a few practices it works easily and well. Enjoy!:)

I remember when we first got it I worked hard to get in on. Now that it's on, we don't take it off! I'm sorry, I know that's not helpful.

I did not connect it. I was afraid that it would be too heavy wth my dog to steer my bicycle. I use as a car seat or strap over my shoulder to carry my dog. I am a retired older female.

It also have found that the basket does not "snap" on as easily as it appears. I have been able to get the basket securely attached to the bracket, but it takes a little more effort than I expected. Even with the extra effort, I have more confidence in this product than in the other two baskets I tried before this one.

Yes at the start until we got into the way of clicking it in Secret is tilting it back slightly then down

T. Yuan was right- I'm surprised anyone is using the bike like this or just stuffing stuff in there to make it tighter! that's pretty dangerous.... use the wrench that came with it, or your own wrench to tighten it and make the opening tighter once it's on the pole.

There is a clamp that is further to bottom that probably needs to be tighter than what it already is. The same thing happened to my son. If that does not work try taking it to the nearest bike shop to see if they know what to do.

It's supposed to snap together, but we had difficulties! Make sure the little slots end up on the right sides or the wrap around cover does not work. You are not missing anything, just some elbow grease. (My husband ended up using screws and put it together all wrong.)

It doesn't snap in place, but it is held by the two screw like things on the sides. It should be pretty secure. Yours might be defective.

I had a little trouble at first too, but now I have the hang of it. You have to bring the backrest portion all the way forward and then back slowly. You will hear it clicking. You may have to do if a few times before it locks in place. It took me a while to get it right, now I get it first try.

The trick is to get it perfectly centered facing u and use both thumbs and press firmly and it will snap right in...I had no problems

Yeah, it does take some effort but I did get mine on. It's probably good to keep them from being loose - you could try other method such as fasteners if needed.

I'm having trouble with this a bit. I can see the notch but I can't snap it in. It was pre-assembled, but when I tilted the lid back to insert the bag, I couldn't get it to go as smoothly. Ah well.

I don't have a quick release on my rear wheel, and the screws that are on my rear wheel are so tight, I couldn't even get them to unscrew. (Don't know what I'm going to do when I need to replace the back tire, guess will have to take to bike shop!) Anyway, I was able to get the screws to lock into place where the skewer would go on the trainer, and it is really sturdy. You might want to try that.

Sorry, we had no trouble at all with this bike, either upon shipment, during assembly or during usage. I suggest you take it to a good bike repair shop in your area and ask the question. Good luck!

I placed my fingers between the opening where the volume bar is and gently opened it from there. Just give it a gentle tug and it should snap open with out a problem. I had to practice this for a few times my self and see that it is what works for me. I hope that this is helpful to you as well.

Make sure you follow instructions in using both clips together to get it to snap in. Check You Tube and there are videos showing you how to do it.

Mine just snaps closed. Maybe yours is defective. I love mine. There are some youtube videos that show it. Maybe try there for more info.

Mine doesn't snap in place either. My son pulls it out all the time to play with it. It hasn't broken yet and he's pretty rough with it.

I had trouble with this too. I tried 4 or 5 times, then it just fell into place. If you look at the picture carefully, the loops go over the bar and the bottom protruding arms hook on the bottom bar. Good Luck.

My bike has no quick release either, and I haven't had any issues. I'm not pedaling fast, though, so take that into consideration. :)
