Always make sure the rear door is closed after pets are loaded and while jogger is in use.
The trailer is equipped with reflectors at the rear of the cabin and on each wheel. There are also reflective strips across the top rear and lower front of the cabin. Carry a flashlight in low light conditions.
The trailer/stroller is intended to carry pets only. No human passengers!
Always stroll or jog with the rear door closed. When riding, your dog should always be secured with the safety leash adjusted to the correct length.
Do not exceed the recommended weight capacity. Check tire inflation before every ride.
Attach the gooseneck mounting plate: Position the mounting plate under the frame and pass bolts and washers through the frame tube and mounting plate. Using the provided hex wrench and 11mm wrench, tighten nuts fully. For maximum tightness, hold the hex wrench in place and turn the 11mm wrench.
Assemble the front wheel to the forks of the gooseneck: Locate the front wheel spindle assembly and remove the cap nut, washer and spring from one side. Slide the wheel onto the spindle, then re-assemble the spring, washer and cap nut. Do not tighten the cap nut at this time. Place the wheel in the forks of the gooseneck assembly, so the springs, washers and nuts are all on the outside of the forks. Position the flange on each washer so it engages the hole on each fork, then tighten the cap nut enough so that the cam lever on the opposite side is tight when in the closed position.
Attach the front wheel assembly: Slide the square tube on the front wheel gooseneck into the matching tube on the underside of the mounting plate. Align the holes in each tube, install the quick release pin and tighten fully.
Install the parking brake: Remove the two screws with plastic bases found on the left side of the cabin, in front of the wheel and a few inches above the bottom of the frame. This will expose holes which pass from the outer fabric shell into the interior of the cabin. Starting from inside the cabin, insert one of the long screws + washer found in the brake kit through one of these holes. On the outside of the cabin, add one of the curved spacers with the curved side facing toward the cabin. Now slide the brake assembly over the screw and secure with the nut, hand-tight only. Repeat with the second screw + parts, then securely tighten both 9mm nuts. The parking brake is engaged by moving the brake lever to the forward position. Hint: if the brake seems difficult to operate, loosen the mounting screws one-quarter turn and re-test.
Attach the handlebar: The fabric skin of the trailer has two holes on the rear panel, on either side of the door, which allow access to the frame tubing. The handlebar has two clamp brackets which are tightened with the black knob. Loosen the knob enough to allow the brackets to slide over the frame tube then tighten knob so brackets clamp firmly in place.
Install the cup holder: The large clamp fits over the cushioned section of the handlebar; the small clamp fits over the non-cushioned section. Position the appropriate clamp and attach the cup holder with the nut and screw. Adjust tightness so the cup holder does not tilt while in use.

Front wheel is supposed to mount on aluminum tube frame with two bolts. I had to make a steel brace to handle the strain on the cart frame.
Chewy thank you! For your Excellent service and packaging! The ordering experience was easy and arrived as promised Received communications, to keep me informed of when delivery would arrive . Very nice experience Thank yiu Chewy
This conversion keeps us walking everywhere, even through rougher terrain so my senior border collie can continue to enjoy the neighborhood. He absolutely loves his PetSafe bike trailer, and the conversion kit gives us different modes of travel. I take him in it every afternoon and am able to make phone calls, walk and see my happy senior citizen enjoying the view out the front window as we roll. All other dogs in the ‘hood are curious, jealous. Earlier this afternoon we had a cat come out of nowhere to check it out and say hello. Highly highly recommended. Also note, not for running. I had intentions but found there can be a shimmy in the front wheel at speed. No bother, we’ve still covered territory and I can include Ace in my ‘steps’ without ever having to leave him at home. I also bring him along to cafe patios and shopping centers while safely and comfortable in his wagon so he’s able to socialize right alongside in comfort; has helped maintain quality of life.
We have loved using our PetSafe stroller with conversion kit for one of our 2 labs, and she weighs 68 lbs. She can no longer go for long walks, and hops in when she is finished. That said, the front wheel wobbles terribly most of the time when she sits up. We have to press down on the handles to stop it, or have her lie down. We have had to fix a few flat tires. All in all it's a lifesaver, but not perfect.
It converts the bike pet trailer into a push cart with just a few easy steps.
The brake system is not adequate. It is on only one side and does not engage the tire nor does it stop the stroller from rolling. The instructions were also lacking in sufficient detail.
I have an 11 year old 70# 3-legged golden and he loves his stroller. He uses it 2 times a day for walks. I really like this stroller. That's why I'm ordering our 3rd!. I do have few recommendations. The front wheel attachment should have steel screws to support the weight of heavier dogs. The current screws break & you can be stranded. We change ours out right away. The welding where the front wheel attaches to the stroller could be stronger. After many uses, it breaks, and we've had to have it welded again. And lastly, this is regarding the stroller, the bottom of the carriage, again, after many uses with a heavier dog, can break down and drag. Perhaps a heavier frame or cross beam to better support would help. Overall, a great stroller!
This was a terrible item. We had to take it to a bike shop to have it reinforced. Wobbled so bad my dogs didn’t want to ride in it.
The stroller conversion kit is awesome!!! It is easy to put together and serves the purpose for my pup that has not yet gotten all of her shots. Very easy to push too!!!
Looking forward to using this over the weekend. Glad to have the added versatility so the doggies can ride in style when the walk gets too long.
