Features to look for in a Pet Bicycle Trailer
Pet Bicycle trailers aren't too complicated. All you are really looking for is a product that is easy to use and keeps your pet safe. Before buying a dog trailer you should check the following:
- Frame - needs to be strong yet light to ensure the product lasts. A Steel frame is appropriate.
- Canopy / Walls - Again the material is important, especially with larger dogs who can be particularly enthusiastic in their trailer. Heavy duty polyester, similar to that used for backpacks works well.
- Access - How does your pet get in and out? Does the trailer offer the option of completely enclosing your cat or dog but also the freedom to have them enjoy the breeze through an open canopy
- Is it washable? - Ideally the base should be removable and easily washed to keep the trailer clean and fresh.
- Assembly - Most require assembly and some require tools. Some modern trailers can now be built in less than 10 minutes without the need for any tools.
- Attachment - Does the trailer come with a universal bike attachment?
