Our HoundAbout Bicycle Trailer is a great way to maintain an active lifestyle with your pet.
The wheelbase has been widened, and lowered, providing more stability while riding and making it easier for pets to get in and out of the cabin. Pockets have been added to carry more gear including cellphone, keys, etc. In addition, the strolling kit now includes a cupholder and parking brake.
If you want to get in a bike ride, but your pet isnt up to it, you can still take them along. Going to the park to give your pet a little fun and exercise? Why not get some exercise yourself on the trip there and back, without tiring them out along the way? Leashing your pet to the bicycle is inherently unsafe for pets and owners alike - the HoundAbout Bicycle Trailer solves that problem and your pet will love the ride.
The front door on the trailer includes a zippered, mesh screen layer, and a zippered, vinyl layer to block wind and weather. Use them in different configurations depending on riding conditions. A removable, washable cushion keeps pets comfortable on long rides. Includes several storage pockets for keys, phone, leash, water bottle, etc. Assembles quickly and folds down neatly for easy storage.
Want to go on a long walk or jog, but not sure your pet can make it all the way? Convert the HoundAbout Trailer into a stroller with our easy-to-install Strolling Kit - includes a padded handlebar and swiveling front wheel. Converts from Trailer to Stroller and back in about one minute. Jogging Kit: $40 Medium / $50 Large
The dimensions of the cabin on the Large Trailer are 33 x 22 x 26. When fully assembled, the overall trailer dimensions (including wheels and bicycle attachment arm) are 55 x 33 x 33. The wheel size on the Large is 20" and it is suitable for pets up to 110 lbs. With the strolling kit installed, the overall dimensions are The 60" x 33 " x 40" (the handle is 39" from the ground.)

This is an intelligently designed and well-constructed trailer. It attaches to my bike quickly and is easy to remove. It also folds up well and stores relatively compactly. I was very surprised at how easily it pulls behind my bike (although I should point out that my beagle is very small) and how well it tracks. Overall, this is a truly outstanding product

I absolutely love this product. Now I can ride my bike without leaving my Shih Tzu at home. He jumped right in before I had the chance to tempt him with a treat. I think it's best to start any dog out with a few short runs to get them used to the movement and confinement etc. The first time he protested because he wanted to get out and run with us instead of riding, but he soon got the idea. I have found it helpful to walk him first so he gets his activity out of the way before I put him in. Now I ride around the neighborhood at night when it is cooler and he is fine with it. It seems to be well made and sturdy but still easy to mount on the bike. I recently purchased another bike attachment so when my husband is with me, he can pull him though it isn't difficult at all and I am in my fifties and had leg surgery less than a year ago.
I would definitely recommend to a friend.

When this item arrived, it took about 5 minutes to assemble. The wheels and arm click into place with a snap. The fabric is heavy nylon, like backpack material. There is a mesh door at the back and at the front with zippers. When you want the door open, there is velcro to hold it in place. There are also 2 little pouches on either side that are big enough to hold a leash and a bottle of water. The plate to hold it to your bike is easy to put in place and there is a release latch so the trailer doesn't have to be attached all the time. There is also a heavy spring at the junction between the bar and your bike. The spring acts like a shock absorber and also allows the trailer to move more naturally.
I have a handicapped pet. He loved going for a ride down to the park. I can't imagine wheeling him around in a stroller, but I'll certainly take him for a ride around the neighborhood for a little fun and exercise.

I got mine and love it! It pops together and folds up to be small to bring it with you. The wheels pop off for bringing it with you on vacation or whatever. It took me about 10 Minutes and Tucker and I were off on a bike ride. He loved it.
