Small Dog Bicycle Carriers For Sale (2024 Update)

Works great for a 14 lbs dog. My only suggestion would be to make the basket itself less heavy – a sturdy frame is important but the wicker adds a lot of unnecessary weight.meyeus.7hqk8nm

Great quality! Works great! Love the size, padding, buckles and cage! Our chihuahua has plenty of room and loves biking with us. I love the cage, as I don’t worry about him getting out while I’m going along. The cage is the best feature for us, as I didn’t want a basket that only had the leash attachment – the basket gives him freedom, yet keeps him safe and he can see through! Love it!Karen

This trailer is easy to open & get ready for the road (I wouldn't describe it as "assembly"– you're just opening it up and popping on wheels). The ride is smooth, and we haven't had any tipping issues (my dog weighs 32lb). It's not especially heavy compared to other dog trailers. It's simple to detach & reattach to your bike for use. My critiques are that the nylon material isn't super rugged or thick, so zip with care. I do wish the back door also had a mesh layer so that if you're riding with someone behind you, they could see the dog.name Nicole

I've been searching for a large pet trailer for a nearly 70Lb dog. Decided to go for the Schwinn Rascal Plus as the price point was decent, though I could not find a single review for this particular trailer. Almost all the reviews are for the regular Schwinn Rascal for up to 50Lb dogs. I didn't want to spend over $200 for a large trailer, especially one my dog may not use at all. SET UP: It didn't come with a manual so I needed to contact the manufacturer for one. I based my purchase on the reviews of the smaller Schwinn Rascal (for dogs up to 50Lbs) and assumed assembly and function would be similar in regards to how easy it is to put together. This isn't the case for the Rascal Plus. There are a lot of parts. When I got a hold of the manual, it isn't very user friendly and needs a lot more detail. It was a two person job to put everything together, and you do require a number of tools (no tools are included). The cross bar is what allows the trailer to fold for storage. For the Rascal Plus, the crossbar is VERY difficult to put in place. I needed assistance from someone who is physically strong and even for them it wasn't easy to secure into place. I'm now hesitant to collapse the trailer for storage because I'll need help to get it set up again. Wheels: The wheels make me anxious, quite honestly. It's a pin that holds it in place , not secured in any other way. I took the trailer out for a test drive and I can feel the trailer shaking a lot. I'm not sure how safe I would feel having a living being in this trailer on the road knowing that a simple metal pin/clip is holding the wheels in place. Just about most parts are held together by pins, that are released by pushing a metal clip out of the way. The trailer does tilt back quite a bit, maybe I need to adjust the tow bar coupler position on my bike but right now it isn't level. The Cabin: Large cabin however this isn't for tall/long dogs. For reference, my dog is 45" long from nose to the base of tail (sacrum area) and 30" tall. The inside diameter of the cabin is 31" in length, 22" width. I like that the weight capacity is high enough at least to hold the weight of the my dog, but also hold a significant amount of weight when I need to haul items. Fabric: I can't speak on durability of the fabric but it is very thin and the entire unit is covered in pressure marks. It could use reflective material for night time visibility, right now there is only 1 small red reflector attached to the back. The weight of this trailer is quite heavy. I have no idea if it's made out of aluminum or steel because the product details are different (for the regular Rascal trailer) on just about all sites I've visited. I can feel it when I cycle up a slight incline. I do also think the attachment interferes with the wheel in someway, like my wheels weren't moving as smoothly after installing this trailer. There's a fabric strap that gets caught near the chain plate, which I moved further away but then it doesn't clip back to the original loop and I had to clip it to the tow bar pin near the coupler.Holistic Pets

This is a great product for your pet. Our 53 lb. lab loves it. It has easy access from the back and she gets right in. There is plenty of room in the 2 pockets inside the trailer and a smaller pocket on top. I only gave it 4 stars because I had a hard time removing the piece off the latch while I was assembling it. It comes with a mat for the bottom of the carrier but we added a dog pad to make the ride more comfortable for our dog. The material seems sturdy and we leave the front open for her to enjoy the ride. It has a small lead leash to secure your pet for the ride. It pulled very well behind my bike. We have electric bikes and the trailer hitch fit just fine on the wheel hub.Staci J

We had to put a few holes on the bottom and zip tied it tighter to the front bike rack. I also added padding to the bottom for doggie bottom comfort. The double leach clips are handy. Lots if room for my 8lb Shihtzu. Daisy loves riding in it. Great way to include your small lap dog. Any larger I would recommend a trailer.Lara W.

Finally, took my cat out for a ride and she did not jump out. She loves the basket. The basket is very well made – high-quality construction. and looks cool too. It was pretty easy to mount onto the bike. I like the side pockets – very convenient to stick my phone, water bottle, and whatever. My cat keeps jumping back into the basket after as well. I think it may be due to the removable fleece lining and the size of the basket – makes her feel all snuggly inside.Streamrock

I I'm extremely happy with my k&h travel bike basket that I use for my dog. It was extremely easy to install and has the easy option for removal after the bracket is installed. That is extremely important so you can clean it out. It's also quite helpful to keep it dry if you live in an area that likes to rain which I do. The soft insert slips out easily and can be thrown in the washing machine the inner area is made of a waterproof wipe down material. The installation was not real hard I was able to do it on my own with minimal frustration. I love the little side pockets I stick treats and a water bottle along with pet waste clean up bags. The double clip makes me feel safe and secure that he is not going to be able to jump out. My dog loves to ride with me I would recommend it for anyone who would like to venture out with their dog.Kimber032

It's really nice but it didn't fit on my bike, it's too big. Plus my dog is way to small. It's for a dog at the very least 10lbs. Also It would be good for the car. If it was a little smaller I would have kept it for the car.joang888

If I could, I'd give no stars. Not only was the pocket on the side sewn on upside down, I put the basket together as instructed and when I used it as a shoulder holder, the strap broke and the basket went swinging. Thank goodness we were not outside, using it and that happened. My dog could have gotten really hurt. Then on top of that, I asked for a return and instead they credited me partial of what I paid and that's it. This damage was not caused by me….that's how it arrived! So why am I paying for it!!!?!!!! No return label sent as the girl who helped me advised it would be sent. Very disappointed and wont be ordering from you again.Leilani

I bought this for my daughter so she could take her dog bike riding. The basket is poorly made and the straps are hard to attach to the handle bars because all the cables and brake handles get in the way. When my daughter was riding the bike the basket slipped and hit the front tire of the bike and the puppy and her crashed and fell into traffic lucky the car behind her was able to stop before they got ran over. They both had scratches and scrapes but they were both ok. DO NOT buy this product it is dangerous and should not be sold.Jccc

Good product for small 5ish lbs dog. You need to make sure the inside safety strap is tight enough. Our dog jumped out and was hanging by the neck for awhile until we got the bike stopped. She was fine, it was just very scarey!Doglover

We have two Schnauzers and they absolutely love the Buddy Rider. We mounted 1 as shown in the picture to my Townie step through. The only suggestion that I can make is the mounting bar be about 2 inches longer. My legs rub a little on the sides of the Buddy Rider every time I peddle. You need to mount it as high and forward as you can to prevent this. The second we will do a custom mounting on the rack behind my wife's seat. She needs to be able to step through to get on her bike and there is no way to do this with the mount provided. The Buddy Rider is a great design and both we and the dogs love it. Well designed and well made.Chris T

The product seems awesome! Getting my doggo to sit in it is not as awesome. I have successfully forced him into the seat twice, once just sitting on the ground and the second time, actually while it was on the bike. He seemed content once he was safely strapped in and we did go for a pretty short ride, which he also seemed to enjoy. Unfortunately it has just been too darn cold to break out the bikes for a ride of my any length. Looking forward to warmer weather, happy trails and a wagging’ tail!Cynthia S

We bought bikes before we rescued our sweet girl in November of 2019. Since then, our bikes have gone untouched because if we are doing an outdoors activity, we want to include her. The buddy seat solved this for us. We were concerned she would be frightened, however, she seemed content. We can’t wait to go on more rides with her.Amy

Your dog is going to have to be small to fit. We have a 12lb cockapoo and she is a tight fit. Must have a very small dog like a Yorkie.craig61

We was looking for a way to enjoy more of the outdoors with our Yorkiepoo and have found it! We just love being able to take him along and know that he is comfortable, safe and secure. The 2nd time out we went on a 7 mile ride and loved every minute of it. Great workmanship and great seller. […] Get yours today!Gunner's Mommy

I was surprised to find the basket so well made, it is a heavy duty bike basket that is made to last. It has multiple pockets as pictured, the front has 2 pockets and although it is not depicted in the product picture, the rain cover is stored in the lower and larger of the 2 pockets, and it is attached to a strap that is sewed into the interior of the top smaller pocket. This way, you won't misplaced it, and in situation where the rain cover is in used, it will remain attached to the bike basket if it was to come loose. It also has a cardboard insert that helps make the base of the basket hard providing support for the puppy, and helping to keep the shape of the basket. At the top of the basket, the 2 straps sits across the top taking up a couple of inches of the opening of the basket on each side. Inside the basket, there is an adjustable strap that is used to secure the dog into the basket.There is a metal bar that is inserted into the bottom of the basket that serves several purposes: 1- it keeps the basket in its form when expanded, 2- it provides some support when the dog is in the basket, and 3- it leans against the bike to stabilize the basket. One of the safety flaws is that this metal bar doesn't really support the dog's weight (#2) because it is leaned against the bike rather than installed onto the bike frame to provide permanent stability. It can slightly swing to the right and left when weights are added to the basket and the bike is moving. This could be fixed by adding a couple of bungee cords. I also used the bungee cords for another important safety reason (mentioned below).The basket is held onto the bike by 2 straps with plastic clips. With my puppy being only 11 lbs, the straps and clips SHOULD hold the basket in place with my dog is in it. Unfortunately, when the straps are not wrapped around the handle in a certain angle, even when adjusted, it could slip from the clip which loosen up the strap from the bike handle with just a light push do…Tilly

It was too small for my dachshund and the bike clamp did not fit my bikes handle bars. I have a mountain bike. Make sure they fit yours! I have to return it thoughAshley

Overall it might be a good item but I purchase in November as a Christmas present and try to return it the day after Christmas (due to being ripped on one side) and I wasn’t able to. No reason on why item couldn’t be returned.Isabel

My pup is 12 lbs, fits perfect in basket and she enjoys the ride. But the bracket that goes under the basket is not sufficient to hold the basket. Had to make reinforcements. Needs something stronger under the basket.Deee

Once the bracket is on, the basket is easy and quick to get on and off the bike and as it folds up it takes up little room when not in use. It could do with more straps to secure the dog in the basket. One strap on one side allows the dog to easily jump out that side. I have had to add additional straps to keep the dog safely secured in the basket.Rebecca F.

This basket has a flaw with the bracket. Despite e mailing several times and sending a photo of the problem I have had no response back…this has left me with a dog basket I am unable to use and 50 quid out of pocket. When you try to ring the store it is always an answerphone . My recommendation is not to purchase from this companyMrs w.

Bought this for my mini schnauzer. She is only 4 months at the moment but so far so good. She got used to it very quickly. I hope to get a lot of use out of it but am not sure how big she will be so it is early days yet. The inner harness worked well but I would have preferred something that maybe hooked on two sides for extra safety – also, I had to zip the mesh round most of her to stop her trying to jump out. It would be lovely to see an mesh top in a sort of dome shape so she could sit within it – or have a centre opening in the mesh rather than having to have her look out of one corner. Just a small thing but I think it might make a difference. A great buy so far 🙂Jacky B.

Fab basket for my bike a little delay buy due to covid .. understandable otherwise great service and happy with the productRuth H.

Love it. My dog is 5kg. Very happy sat in it with her blanket. The box does shift a little side to side but not too much but you could make it more Secure. But I am very happy with it.Hannah B.

So wie die hundetasche ist, kann ich sie nicht benutzen. Ich habe noch Kabelbinder oben am lenker und unten am drahtbgel gemacht. So ist er zu gebrauchen.diefriedliche

Its perfect! Easy set up. Easy to take the basket on and off. Dog loved the ride. Very safe. Would have liked a better sun block along side the top net but its an easy add on.cachopa07

The bag itself looks sturdy and has a large lid to accommodate the dog sitting upright. However, the mounting hardware was missing and we need to return it. It is very annoying and kept us from the trip we had planned on. Schwinn should know better than sending a carrier without the hardware.Claudia

I don't if I am writing this more for Pearson my dog or myself. This is cutest, most adorable small animal carrier that I have ever owned. The construction of the carrier is well done, with the fabric being well tightly woven for durability and safety for tiny pets is awesome. Attaching the carrier to the bike was simply quick with Pearson and myself on our way.Silversurfer
