Can the basket fit a 30 lb dog?- I know silly question

On the Walmart site the basket will hold 50 pounds. Check out the price of the bike, too!

I have two ten pound poodles, and put them in a wire carrier (got it here) that fits right inside the basket, and I've gone at least 200 miles with them in back over the years, and the basket is still rock solid. I worry about them jumping out, but if yours is trained to stay in under any conditons, I'm sure it would hold him... just be sure you have a "floor" of cardboard or carpeting on the wire.

We bought ours for a 30 lb. dog and it fits nice. I think there is a wide margin of error built into the product, plus returns are easy at Amazon.

Well it seems to be a pretty sturdily constructed basket overall. I'm not sure of the dimensions of your Westie but I have loaded it up with some groceries and got by. Maybe 18 lbs. would be pushing the limits a little bit though.

I would recommend checking the manufacturer's recommendations. My dog is close to 30 lbs., so it is hard to know. I am not sure what about it would be dangerous for her, however.

From my experience with Wald's rear baskets, as far as weight goes, I'd say sure, if it were 16 lbs of groceries. But with all respect to everyone who has replied, because it's your dog, I would ask the manufacturer. For liability's sake, they might tell you no in any case, but maybe they have better recommendation. Or you might ask your vet if he's seen mishaps or special carriers.

I haven't used it in this fashion but it's big enough for a 10 lb dog although I'm not sure how safe it would be. It's not really deep. If I were you I'd get a basket with more depth so that the dog wouldn't fall out while riding.

I carry my 20 lb pug in mine without difficulties, though of course it's a workout for your whole body, not just your upper body but also your core, back, and legs. He fits in it comfortably. I question, though, if there would be enough room for a 31 lb dog. I would check the manufacturer's weight limit because I know one was listed and I think it was about 30 lbs.

Yes, two small dogs will fit if they don't mind sitting close together. Combined weight of about 35 pounds probably shouldn't be exceeded.

Yes, 30 lb bag will fit. I love mine. I just dump it in. But I do mix the food left in can with the new food that I dump in...

The person to whom I gave the basket doesn't think it would work for a dog that size.

No, I don't think there's any way. My little dog (about 7 pounds) is snug in hers.

I don't think so...my dog is under 2 pounds but in my opinion it is not sturdy enough for a 27 pound dog, I might be wrong. It is great and my dog absolutely loves it, in fact she never wants to get out of it:) Hope this helps!!!

It fits just inside the basket. our puppy loved riding in it last summer and it protected her from jumping out. she weighed 7 lbs at the time and after the first awkward feeling of balancing the weight I had no issues. Our pup now weighs 13lbs and has out grown it. I suppose we will now have to sell it. we enjoyed using it so she could be with us.

It carries my daughters 15 lb rabbit just fine but not 100% certain about a 20 lb dog. However, I'd guess it would work just fine :)

I wouldn't trust putting my pet in it, especially because this basket is on the rear of the bicycle. If I were you I would try this instead. It is what I was going to buy for my dog.Solvit 62331 Tagalong Wicker Bicycle Basket

A small dog will fit, as long as they do not jump. I have a Minpin, thou he is a lil too big for basket plus he was scared.

Sorry I just read the specs on the other basket I listed says a maximum of 13 lbs.Any how I wouldn't be comfortable putting my pet in this either way. The basket slides off fairly easily. I only put groceries in it. Haven't really tested the limits on how heavy I can go with this either. Hopefully you can find a pet carrier that will support at 24 lb pet. I am sure they are out there just need to look. Hope this helps a little bit :)
