Schwinn Rascal Bike Dog Trailer, Carrier for Small and Large Pets, Easy Folding Cart Frame, Quick Release Wheel, Universal Bicycle Coupler, Washable Non-Slip Lining

My dogs hate being in this but the product itself is good, feels sturdy and safe.Easy to put on/off bike. I like how it folds up for storage. I would have preferred blue but that was a lot more money for some reason compared to the orange. Good thing about orange i guess is that it stands out more.My main complaint would be that there is nothing on the trailer to secure to a bike lock for anti-theft. Its so easy to unlock that anyone could walk of with it.It wouldn’t take much for the manufacturer to put a handle or d-bar in the trailer somewhere to enable locking. You have to be creative with it if that is something you want to be able to do with it.Have only taken it out once, but so far so good.Otherwise Im happy with it!Its expensive but these trailers generally are for some reason and i guess its a bit more expensive than others on the market because its advertised for pets only! Good marketing.I don’t have a photo of my dogs in it yet (I have two 8lb dogs) but will upload one later!

When my wife and I decided to retire our child trailer after more than twenty years of service we found the offerings slim for a dedicated dog trailer for our 10 lbs bichion "peaches". Despite the brand name and great price, the schwinn rascal pet trailer seemed low on features, heavy in weight, and cheaply made judging by the specs. We purchased it because there weren't alot of other options, and after using it for three months i can say I'm glad we did. The build quality is good and it cleans up well. The construction is simple with easy put up and take down and it stores well. I like to keep the wheels on for maximum ease of use (see photo). Our dog seems comfortable or as much as she can be for being in a confined space. The rascal has plenty of room for lunch bags, beach towels or other small items. Unless your focused on time trials, the added weight is no big deal. Most importantly the wow factor is not lost. You know, watching the delighted anb bewildered expressions of other riders realizing you've got your dog along for the ride. Only a small subset of dedicated riders, dog owners and excentrics know what I'm talking about here.Cons include already showing some signs of whear and a low profile which makes it difficult to look back while riding to check on your dog. Would also have liked to see a screen window in the back of the trailer so that peaches can see my wife riding behind. All in all an excellent price and product. Hope you found this review useful. Please note peaches not pictured to protect her privacy and anonymity.

Putting together was relatively easy. Can be done by one person but a second person would be easier to tighten some of the screws. It took about a full day, LOTS of treats, and adding her favorite bed to the trailer to really get our pup comfortable. But now she will get in when told and has no problem riding to the breweries in it. Only problem was hooking it up to our e-bikes; the pin that came with our bikes was not long enough so we had to hook it up to our regular bike (60 lb dog is a lot to pull). We’ll get an extended pin for our e-bikes so no big deal.

I bought this for our 17lb pup, and it works great. It came mostly assembled and was a breeze to set up. He's only been on two rides so far, but he already excitedly runs up and gets in when it's bike ride time, so we think he loves it!The only reason I rated this at 4 stars was the fact that there is no suspension system for the wheels whatsoever, so when you hit and small bumps or uneven surfaces, the trailer will go bouncing pretty significantly. So if your trails are fairly bumpy, I would keep this in mind. When we would ride on sidewalks, it's nearly impossible to avoid all uneven pavement blocks, since the trailer takes up almost the entire width (maybe 70% the width of a sidewalk), so hitting bumps is inevitable. We put a square bed of his in the trailer to help with some of the impacts, but he will sometimes get airborne! Understandable however considering the great price value.That said, I still recommend it due to the tried and true Schwinn quality.
