PetSafe Happy Ride Aluminum Cat & Dog Bicycle Trailer, Large

This product is awful. We purchased for our dog to use on our e-bikes. If you have an e-bike, beware that you may not be able to attach the "hitch" part to your wheel. That was the first annoying part. We found another way to attach the hitch although it's pointless because the trailer arm is wobbly as heck. Tightened all the bolts and screws to the point where the wrench went flying and the arm is still wobbly. I'm not confident this is safe enough to put any living thing in it because it wobbles so much. The directions are awful. Do yourself a favor and buy from a different brand, one that preferably doesn't require so much building.

Easy to assemble & quick to collapse for storage. Tracks well. For very heavy loads you will need to replace the floorboard with some plywood or HDPE sheet. A second mount included or sold separately would be great so it could switch between bikes easier. It is probably a pain to mount on high end frames or electric bikes, but it fit our conventional and quick release skewers.

Easy to assemble, sturdy & awesome to take your dog for a stroll when recovering from CCL surgery. I purchased the stroller adapter & my dog was happy to get fresh air. Once I get the ok from the surgeon, will take him with me on the bike.

I bought my trailer 11/2 years ago and I could not be happier. I rollerblade, bike and walk with my trailer/stroller. My BFF bought one too this year and both of our dogs love it. My older dog who recently passed away also loved being able to go everywhere with me. I bought it originally for her because she was blind with a heart condition. I spoke with customer service one time and they were very helpful. I can’t say enough good things about my trailer.

I purchased this trailer Yesterday & received it this morning.. 5 Star there! Upon assembling the trailer & attempted to attach it to my Specialized Mountain Bike/Trek Road Bike. I found the through bolts on my bikes would Not work with the bracket system that comes with this trailer. I contacted PetSafe Directly. They informed me, they were aware of the issue connecting to nicer/higher end bikes. But had no resolution at this time. After doing some research online I found The Robert Axle Project , this product will provide you the through bolt that will work with the connecting bracket sold with this trailer. I only gave the trailer 3 stars for this issue alone. The trailer is already I purchased this trailer Yesterday & received it this morning.. 5 Star there!

My husband suggested getting this after Abbie, our 20 month old Lab, strained her CCL. I was not sure at first, but he was spot on. She LOVES it!! We did support the bottom with 2 pieces of corrugated plastic from yard signs we had in the garage. Then we added her car blanket so she'd know it was hers. A few pieces of shredded cheese and she was lured in. The first "ride" was my husband walking the bike with attached carriage and I walked next to her (just as if we were loose leash walking) treating with cheese.Once she was comfortable, he took her up and down the street very slowly. We ended on that good note. Our second ride was just as smooth and a loop around the block. She looks so darn My husband suggested getting this after Abbie, our 20 month old Lab, strained her CCL.

Sometimes she sits up and sometimes she lays down looking out the back window at me following on my bike. We look forward to more rides. … more

My Golden Retriever Mason turned 10 and just does not have the steam for our long walks anymore , it took him a couple of short rides but I think he is enjoying it now. I also ordered the stroller pack and I got to say they really thought this thru, so easy to turn from bike to stroller. This trailer is so well made and it is a very smooth ride for both my pooch and I.

Got this two weeks ago, and we’ve been taking our 50# lab everywhere with us. She took to it immediately! It’s easy to put together, it very well constructed and maneuvers behind the bike very easily.

We love it, but have to remember going through tight spots which ya cannot do with this. Lots of room for one dog, yet to try two. Love the design, all the pockets, how easy it collapses to store. The little mattress slips, might put down some velcro or something else all together. I'm very happy with my purchase.

I had no idea what I was missing. My 11-yr-old lab is still in great shape, but can't walk as far as she used to. So instead of us being limited to the mile radius around our house for walks on beautiful summer days, we can now ride out to further fun walking destinations! She LOVES this ride along! Lays right down, doesn't mind being harnessed in, leans against her big stuffed animal that accompanies us, and we are OFF. Based on our first ride around the block, the carriage seems secure, isn't too bumpy of a ride for my pup, and assembly took ~25min. It was pretty straight forward (albeit there was one "nut" missing in my package, but otherwise all intact). All in all, this was worth the splurge I had no idea what I was missing.

If you are considering the possibilities of a ride-along for your medium/large dog, this is a solid option. And it's amazingly fun to bike with your pup, so I recommend it! … more
