TRIXIE Pet Bike Trailer, Dog Bicycle Trailer, Foldable, Easy to Assemble

Overall this trailer deserves a 5 star rating as it is well designed and has a quality feel about it. It is very easy to erect even without the instructions which I later found under the dog mat inside the trailer. Simply fold up each side and then fold across an internal hinged bracing bar and secure with a captive pin. The tow bar folds forward and is also secured with a captive pin and the two wheels just slide on and click in place. However, my first little niggle point is that I found it very difficult to insert the pins as the holes would not line up exactly and what should have been a very smooth and easy assembly became a fiddly business trying to get the pins through the holes. I am hoping this will ease with use but as I am not intending to be collapsing and re-erecting the trailer on a regular basis it is a small issue for me. My second little niggle is over their choice of inner tube valve for the wheels. The tyres are delivered without air but not a problem I thought as I reached for my bicycle pump only to find that the inner tube valves were of the rather outdated Dunlop/Wood type. These are smaller in diameter than the much more common Schrader type found on most bikes and cars so if you have a standard Schrader pump you will need an adaptor which screws onto the valve. You can buy these on Amazon or any good bike shop. The instructions include advice on how to familiarise your dog to travelling in the trailer. My cocker spaniel dispensed with these and hopped in and was ready to go from the off. We have now done about 20 miles and she has taken to it without any problem. As a little bonus a nice day glow orange pennant on a rod is included which you can affix to the back of the trailer - except there is no obvious provision for doing this. I solved the problem with a cable tie. Niggles to one side this trailer does the job and is good value for money and I would recommend it.

The trailer has just arrived and I couldn't wait to put it together - took about three minutes, after which I found the instructions! Must be simple if even I can work it out. I promptly had to take the wheels off to allow my curious, post-spinal surgery border terrier to get in and have a look around. He seems to approve so I'm optimistic we'll be out for walks in the near future when the stroller kit arrives. The trailer itself is well put together and lightweight so should be very manoeuvrable. I have numerous bicycle pumps from many era so one should probably fit the non-standard valve. if not, from other reviews I assume it will be an easily-solved problem. Overall, I think this is going to solve the problem of an elderly dog whose activity will be restricted for at least the next three months and possibly beyond where not going for a walk is just not tenable! UPDATE The conversion kit arrived and once I had worked out where everything went, was easy enough to put together. However, and it's a big however, the brake arrived without bolts. Amazon were unable to supply the missing bolts but instead sent a complete new conversion kit, from which I have extracted the missing parts and the stroller is now fully assembled and functional. The brake is better than expected having read some reviews but is utterly dependent on there being TWO bolts! Wee brown dog has now had his first ride and, astonishingly, loved it and behaved impeccably. There were many stares, some smiles and a number of conversations about the technicalities of the stroller/reasons it was necessary etc. I suspect there may be a few more orders in due course. The stroller behaves well, is light and manouevrable and would probably be a decent enough size for two border terriers at a push. It is more than adequate for a larger than normal BT. I have added a ramp to make it possible for him to get aboard on his own and a bit of cushioning in case of jolts and all is well. Very happy with a good quality bit of kit.

This was a very good buy for my very grateful girlfriend. I think she was more excited than the dog when she got this trailer for her bike! It’s really well made & it looks good when all together. It’s very simple & quick to assemble. The locking pins work really well, there is a strap inside to attach to your dogs collar/harness. This is a quality product. We have only one criticism, the safety flag that goes on the back of the trailer is on the wrong side for the UK roads, it would be good if the makers could modify it so that you can put the flag on to either side of the trailer. I think we will have to modify it ourselves. A very good buy & recommended.

I bought this trailer for transporting our puppy to nearby parks for walking her, and so far it has done its job very well. The trailer seems to be pretty well made (except the zips, see below) and sturdy and after assembling it a few times you can fold and unfold it in very little time (about a minute I would say). It attaches straightforwardly to a bike via an included attachment that needs to be attached to the rear axle of your bike; once that is done the trailer simply slots onto this attachment and is secured in place by an easy-to-use clip. There are only a few minor points that made me give this product 4 instead of 5 stars. First and most annoying of all is the quality of the zips. Both the zips for the inner meshes of my trailer are rubbish. They constantly don't work properly, leaving part of the mesh unzipped, and require a very delicate hand to fully close them (and even then multiple attempts). Secondly, the flap at the top tends to bend inwards very easily, which means that if it rains and water collects on it then gaps appear at the sides of the flap and the rain can partially get inside the trailer. Non-ideal for the comfort of the dog. Overall, this trailer has greatly helped with walking our dog and seems to be of a good quality although a few details could be improved on. I would definitely recommend this product.

This is our second one. Excellent quality and the wheels are not blow up to easily puncture.

I am beyond impressed with the TRIXIE Pet Bike Trailer, and it's an absolute game-changer for pet owners who love to bike! The trailer is incredibly easy to assemble, taking less than 20 minutes to get it up and running smoothly. The foldable design makes it super convenient for transporting and storage, without taking up too much space. The sturdy construction and quality materials used in the making of the trailer make it durable and long-lasting, ensuring that my furry companion is safe and comfortable throughout our cycling activities. The mesh windows provide ample ventilation and a view for pets, making the ride more enjoyable for them. What I love most about the TRIXIE Pet Bike Trailer is the versatility it offers; it can convert into a stroller mode if you prefer to walk your pet instead, without the need for an additional product! The three-wheeled design makes it easy to maneuver and handle, making it a joy to use. Overall, I highly recommend the TRIXIE Pet Bike Trailer to any pet owner who enjoys cycling or wants to give their pet a comfortable ride around town. The product is of high quality, easy to use, and a great value for your money! Additionally, my two dogs absolutely love riding in the TRIXIE Pet Bike Trailer! They hop right in and settle in comfortably, ready for the ride ahead. The spacious interior allows them to sit, stand, lie down, or turn around, giving them enough room to move around during the ride. It's a great bonding experience for us, and I couldn't be happier with this purchase!

Got one of these for my 20 kilo lurcher, a large size. Mine came with a dented wheel rim, but decided to keep it and amazon quite fairly gave me a partial refund. I also got the stroller conversion (see separate review) with it and all told it is pretty pricey. In use its fine, pushes along well, wheels are detatchable and make it easy to store. Inner tubes have an odd valve and you may have to get an adapter to inflate the tyres. My dog wasnt desperately keen to get in at first but he got used to after a while and if your pet cannot walk far or needs a rest every now or then, this is ideal. I have to say I have only used this as a stroller and not as a trailer but its generally well made and sturdy so cant see any problems.

Such a lovely thing..!! I am an engineer, and this is now the third trailer I've owned, having had two child-carrying trailers before, and I can say with confidence that this is by far the best of them, made from lightweight tubing and nylon, with alloy rimmed wheels (this isn't clear from the pictures but they are), and with a quality not even my old SpokeyJoe trailer had. Other people have complained that the cross bar is the wrong length because it requires a lot of force to slide into place, but they just need to exert some pressure on it and it'll work. Without it requiring this force, you wouldn't have quite the rigid structure. Others have also complained about the Woods valves which I do confess is a bit weird today but they work and can be pumped up with Presta valve pumps. Many bike pumps offer a duel Shraeder/Presta value anyway. That said, I have a lovely pair of nearly-new Continental Tour Ride tyres now redundant since my daughter outgrew her 16" wheel bike, so I'll fit those and the Continental Schraeder valve tubes inside - it's just easier to rely on kit you know, after all. Lastly, most trailer allow for you to remove the wheels but this has by far the best mechanism of all. It looks good and robust, and doesn't require to remove small parts like circlips. In fact, the wheel and half axles slide out without there being any other parts "freed" from the whole. A very clever design and one that'll be totally lost on our little dog. Hope he likes it in some part. :)
