Is the bottom of the trailer hard or soft?

The bottom has a hard plastic lining between the inner and outer nylon layers. Three wide and tough nylon straps running lengthwise across the bottom also provide additional support and are used to attach the bottom to the trailer's metal frame. In my experience, the bottom is strong enough to support the entire cargo area being filled with cartons of soda pop, or, in one instance, a car battery, without sagging.

The bottom of the trailer is soft. From what I read it should hold up to 80 lbs. I've carried 2 laptops in their cases and accessories in it and had no problems.

the cover has an elastic band that is continuous around the bottom. it fits pretty snugly if you pull it down to completely cover the wheels. I would have no problem towing it on a trailer with the cover on.

We've seen a little sagging at the bottom. HOWEVER, this does not affect the seating of the children. The seating is held up independently of the trailer bottom and the seating has kept up great. The kids are actually lifted up off the flooring a few inches which seems to make for a more comfortable seat. The bottom of the trailer is only sagging a little from the weight of the kids getting in and out (7yo and 6 yo).

It is soft like the sides with a removable sheepskin type pad, and also my dog figured out how to unzip herself rather quickly by just scratching where the zippers meet. I have never seen a soft sided one with a hard bottom but the metal one I have does fold down easily for travel and you just bring the plastic pan along as well. Good luck!

Not hard at all. I know someone who drilled two holes in the bottom to secure it to the floor. You just need the correct drill bit.

The bottom is not hollow. It is actually a bolt that when turned with an Allen wrench you can decrease or increase the shock absorbing action.

The bottom is smooth. I really like mine. One of the sides, in the frame, was a little bent in shiping but I straighten it and no problems.

It's definitely soft enough. If you're working on a smooth surface, like wood or something, it might skid along the floor. Hope this helps!

The bottom and sides are much thicker. I live on the gulf coast and my wife and I assemble and launch ours on a rough side of the beach. I always run aground when coming ashore and after almost a year have never had any issues. We also fish under a large concrete bridge and sometimes the wake will slam us against the pilings and still no issues. Hope this helps.

They are pretty hard, there is a little give sort of like a child's double-walled plastic play house or slide. I have a dog bed mat in the bottom of ours.

The trailer seems to be pretty durable. I like it mainly because it is lightweight. I've never tried pulling more than 30 pounds in it, so I don't know how much it is capable of.

It does not have a hard bottom, but the bottom seems to be more durable and firmer than the sides. I've sprayed it out with a garden hose and wiped it down many times. I've had this crate and used it for agility for 2 and a half years. My dog doesn't chew on it, but the seam where she lays against it is beginning to show some wear. Not bad for the length of time that I've had it.

Material with a hard bottom. It durable though. My 3 1/2 year old is 45 lbs and can get on and it's perfect. I'm very pleased with my purchase. Using on a bike it's a bit heavy but it pushes like a dream

Hello Larry,This thing is very very nice. It does have a metal platform for the bottom, basically a piece of sheetmetal but sturdy. The wheels are a quick release, very simple to do. Love this little trailer.

The seat is a bench seat though I cannot say it is firm like wood. It is padded fabric. Where the feet go does drop off a little maybe 3 or 4 inches. This trailer is a very well made product. I am 7 months pregnant. We went camping last weekend with the family. My hubby did t want to leave me at the camp site when he took thebous for a bike ride so he pulled me. I am almost 170 and he didn't have any trouble pulling me. I felt secure in the seat, quite comfortable actually. I would recommend this product to anyone. We have even pulled 3 40-50 pound children in it. Works great. Hope this helps.

Each person experiences the way an item feels differently, so I cant tell you if it is hard or soft. Sorry
