Trixie Black Bicycle Basket

The basket gets 2 stars for design only! I had to buy a mount for over the wheel because even the empty basket sat on the front wheel. Once I spent £20 on the mount the basket was sturdy enough but it is not a good quality wicker and just tightening the cheap plastic straps on it snapped some of the wicker. Stronger better straps and better quality wicker (or even plastic) would have got it 5 stars as I use it to take the cats to the vet quite often and also use it to put my shopping in.

The quality of the basket is why I gave 2 stars, unfortunately, my satisfaction ends there. The handles that attach which slide into the bike handles are in need of an extra harness or a bottle mount as it's not strong enough to hold a 3.5kg dog without getting a dent. The second time I used this, the basket slipped & flipped onto the floor with my dog inside! Also disappointed with the Yodel! They're known for terrible delivery service. They didn't deliver it to my door or even a safe place.

I bought this for my puppy as I wanted to be able to get her out and about without having to rely on the car It fitted 'OK' to the front of the bicycle but I found it better to fit on the rear with some very good strong cable ties as it's a more stable part of the bike and as I have an 'e' bike I don't have the standard front, it's great this way and the pup seems to enjoy her outings!

My dog is Chihuahua cross Pom and she fits in this although only faceing side wards with comfortable gap and she can lay down which is great as she’s more wide than long. I would recommend using cable ties and getting a basket rack for extra support off eBay or amazon as if your dogs a little bit heavier you wanna trust that it will hold

The straps that you fasten to the handlebars are weak and they tore.

I use it for my cat. He loves sitting there, it easily supports his weight, and we get lots of greetings along the way. I can definitely recommend it!

Beautiful but missing parts like the grill and pillow, I hope they arrive soon.

I ordered for the first time and the grill was missing. They sent me a second order and... the grill is still missing!!! How many baskets do I have to collect before I get a complete order??

Very sturdy and easy to use. I don’t just use them to take the cat with me on the bike, but also for trips to the vet. Much better than one of those closed carriers where the cat feels trapped.
