TRAVELIN K9 Pet-Pilot MAX Dog Bicycle Basket Carrier | 8 Color Options for Your Bike (Silver/Grey)

I found this basket on a list of "The Best Dog Bike Baskets: Safe Bicycle Riding with Dogs" and this basket was listed as #2 (to be honest, I'm not sure why the #1 was listed as #1 - it looks...odd), but this one should have been #1! I'll put the details below my review. I agree with every point they make.My Yorkie is 10 lbs. We previously had the #3 on the list: Snooze Buddy Dog Basket. It was a great basket. I loved it, but I sold my bike and I couldn't detach the basket attachment thingy since it rusted on over ten years. However, I did have a few issues with it - the attachment thingy dug into the basket so much that it was pressed up against my dog, which really limited her space inside the basket, although otherwise, she fit fine. The other thing is that it was not sturdy. It slid from side to side as we rode and as she moved around inside.The biggest consideration when purchasing this basket was finding a sturdy basket, as finding a basket for her size isn't too difficult. With that being said, she has a great amount of room in this basket. She jumped right in when we took it out of the box and she NEVER does that. So that is saying something!!ARTICLE REVIEW (as mentioned):Pet Pilot is a super durable bike basket designed to carry small breed dogs.Working hard to improve pet weight capacity, Pet Pilot partnered with WALD and used their patented mount to develop a new basket fitted with the mount.The results? A bike basket that can safely hold heavier dogs. This is one of the rare and few dog carriers for 25 lb dogs!In fact, some folks even say they’ve managed to use it with dogs as high as 35lbs and have still had great stability. However, once you get to 35lbs, it’s really too much weight to ride around with on your handlebars, so we suggest sticking to 25lbs and under for now.We’re excited about spring though, as Pet Pilot is promising a new model that’s designed to hold much heavier pets!Features:Color is Customizable. Basket comes with 5 different colored inserts that allow you to pick and choose the color or your pooch’s basket based on your mood!Steel Frame & Handlebar Mount. Extremely durable and tough steel mounting system that keeps your dog safe and sound.Mesh Venting. The physical basket features mesh material that acts as a cooling air vent, making sure that your pup doesn’t get overheated.Reflective Siding. This unit’s reflective siding can help keep both you and your booth visible at dusk.Added Pockets. Features mesh pockets to store your water bottle, keys, cell phone, leash, treats, or other necessities!Patented Stability Design. This basket features a unique patented handlebar locking design for increased stability. Can hold dogs up to 20lbs with ease.Easy to Remove. The basket can be taken on and off the handlebar bracket easily, letting you add or remove the basket easily based on your needs.Safety Leash. Features leash attachment inside the basket to keep your dog from jumping out.

I own a mini goldendoodle she is an f1b so on the smaller spectrum of the minis. She is absolutely comfortable in this basket. It is extremely sturdy with a full wire construction and easy to install, if you know how to install a bell on your bike(super simple) you can install the bracket. I love the fact that when not in use it is easily removed for storage. I ride a mountain bike so I was happy to see that this basket fit. Most baskets have a hard time adjusting to the small space betwee the front wheel and the handel bars but as long as your bike meets the required minimum you are in luck. And for everyone asking how much weight can it hold, I assure you it as long as your furbaby fits it will hold. What I did was cut a piece of cardboard to the size of the dimensions of the botom of the basket. She sat on the piece of cardboard with room to spare.

I love being able to take my pup everywhere with me! I gave it four stars instead of five because the basket is not too sturdy, I mean I live in a city that the roads are not their optimal, so a lot of bumps here and there and I get a little nervous my pup is bouncing around a bit too much. I would also maybe add a mesh to make sure that the dog is nice and secure when won't go flying off if you hit a huge bump! There is a strap to attach to the dog's harness but I don't think it's enough. But all in all, it's a great basked and my pup seems to be really comfortable in it.

The media could not be loaded. Finally got around to using this. I was a little worried about everyone talking about it being hard to steer but I barely noticed any change in the handling of my bike with my 8lb Shih-Tzu Puppy.Basket didn’t bounce around and was super secure. Leash inside kept him from jumping out. I feel like I could fit a much bigger dog In here as he had plenty of room to move around.Easy to assemble and Pops off in 2 seconds by raising the handle lock. The engineering of it is good in that you know the basket will not fall off with a bump or what not. Be sure to get a set of doggy goggles too. I noticed if I went fast, the wind kinda dried his eyes a bit and he turned away from the wind.

The Pros; Well built and easy to install. The Cons; Very heavy on the front of bike even without the dog, If the dog moves while biking it could easily make you fall. Return policy is terrible. 80% refund plus you pay for return shipping. If you opened and installed the basket you only get 50% refund plus you pay for shipping. So basically forget about returning.

This little basket is great quality. Super sturdy interior wire basket with plenty of padding for my little dogs. The installation was super easy. I was a little nervous at first it wouldn’t work with my handle bars but it went on perfectly. Both of my dogs were super comfortable and I love that it has two different tethers and pockets on the sides. The only thing that would make it better would be bigger pockets and some on the backside that are easier to reach when riding. Other than that I love it!

This basket is so much better than the previous one I had. Very sturdy and durable.I bike with my dog several times a week and this basket provides me with great peace of mind that my dog won't fall out. Excellent quality.I have owned this for over one year so I can attest that this basket will last.
