    I purchased in April 2020. Had to wait about 2 weeks (website said this so it was expected) and then got it almost immediately.
    Easy to attach and use. My 17 pound Mini Schnauzer was scared the first time. Coaxed him into it with cookies and he was fine. We've been riding almost every day and he LOVES it! He's 12 years old and loves walking but it's getting harder for him so now we walk and then go for a ride. I searched and couldn't find any dog seat like this. Worth every penny!

    Love this design. Would you consider designing straps that would work with a chest harness or include on instead of the neck restraints - they can cause pressure on the neck, which wouldn't be ideal for smaller dogs like frenchies, pugs, with back issues.

    I'm a female and my mountain bike bar is just right, if I were to get this it would be too high for me to jump down and stop or even difficult to get on. I would need a size small mountain bike. Otherwise, this is something I wouldve purchased in a heartbeat! I really like the idea of being close to your pooch and not having that weight on my front tire with the suspension. Maybe I need a new bike.

    I bought the Buddy Rider and ergonomically it's not good. It's fine for short distances and random rides. But keep in mind you have to be in an awkward wide straddle position to paddle, that does not feel right at all. Also, the carrier will rub against your thighs constantly.

    @BOOMEL12 3 роки тому +3

    I tried mine at the weekend and all went fairly well. A few comments would be grateful for feedback,. I found I had to ride with my knees splayed out to avoid hitting the underside of the carrier, perhaps it is because I have not got it close enough to the underside of the saddle. I have an electric bike and am unable to see digital display.

    • @douglasriver786
      @douglasriver786 7 років тому +4

      It can come with a booster seat which is padded. I have had one for over 2 years on my mountain bike, and have covered a lot of kilometres (I'm Aussie, so tend to talk metric). I have adapted my seat and added extra padding to the front so my dog can stretch out and relax on the longer rides. We cover anywhere from 20-70 kilometre (12-43 mile) rides on all sorts of terrain. Obviously nothing too rough, but the odd bump here and there, to keep things interesting. The downfall is you can't stand up to pedal, to get extra power. But it's a small price to pay for the enjoyment you get with your pet.

    • @TheDogOutdoors
      @TheDogOutdoors  7 років тому +2

      Yes, it comes with a thin removable foam layer on the floorboard for easy cleaning. I accidentally forgot to put it back in when shooting this video. You could always add additional cushioning as well and make it as comfy as you like. Thank you for your question and sorry for such a late reply!

      The manufacturer says the smallest that he is aware of using it is 5 lbs. I'm thinking that if you used the Buddy Booster cushion - www.thedogoutdoors.com/buddyrider-buddybooster-cushion-insert.html and made sure the harness was secure it would be okay. Just be careful when getting her in and out and if for any reason you don't feel it is safe for her once getting it set up, you can send it back to us.

    I'm not sure about this design. It raises the top tube by around four inches, effectively making the bike several sizes bigger and rather harder to get off, especially for anyone wearing a skirt, mainly for those who touch their nose with the tip of their toe. All to eliminate a bit of handlebar motion? Looks like a recipe for a battered coccyx!

    Nice review and cute daughter. I have never seen one of these before and just happened to see your thumbnail suggested on one of my new videos showing my dog using a Spring Dog Exerciser on my bike. I film dog related videos on UA-cam also. Great review. Would one of these work with a very small 3lb teacup sized Yorkie? I've been trying to figure out a way to take mine along on my rides with my larger dogs and this looks like a possible way of doing that. I gave your video a thumbs up #91 and became a new subscriber. Stop by and take a look at my sometime. :-)

      Cool design but the seat is good for dogs the sizes as Chihuahua and Pomeranian. Perhaps, a little bit bigger. No way a dog more than 7.5 kg can sit in this seat. My dog, a Silky Terrier, is 7.5 kg, and he looked at me as I was an idiot trying to get him in to that seat... I will have to send the seat back.
