Review on BARKBAY Expandable Foldable Soft-Sided Dog Carrier with Bike Basket, 2 Open Doors, 5 Reflective Tapes - Ideal Pet Travel Bag and Backpack Carrier for Small to Medium Cats and Dogs by Karla Schwinden

Not safe on its own - but add Velco carabiners

This bag is nice, but only after some extra security measures. You can see in the enlarged image that the clips on this bag don't hold. After a test ride around the block, the clamps began to bend and warp. My dog is only 14lbs when the pet travel limit is 18lbs. My chihuahua/poodle mix comes in handy in this bag, so here's what I decided to do: I ordered two packs of Velco carabiners and attached these carabiners to the metal band clips on the side of the bag. It's much more reliable and I'll just leave the bag with this addition. In any case, the Velcro doesn't slip like clip-on straps, so it actually stays on the bike tire without slowing down the glide or requiring additional adjustment. While it's nice that this bag converts into a backpack, I wouldn't recommend it for that. . Due to the lower height, the bottom of the bag touches the lower back. In addition, it has no horizontal breast clamps in the front, which relieve the shoulders. If you are looking for a dog backpack, I recommend the Apollo Walker pet bag. It has more back padding, front clamp and is much more comfortable.
