When the front wheel is in place it leaves the back entrance/exit with an open square receptacle that can injure the pet, any solutions? We used a rubber tip to cover it.

I did the same thing man I love this cruiser Thoue I've had to put 200 miles on it so far with my Dog ... The only thing I have thought I might add to this in the back, a kik stand as if I'm not holding the back whin the dog jumps in she gets stuck why it pops a weely

I found that metal square annoy as well...although I put a 3 inch piece of dense foam in the bottom where the (pretend pad) was, and it raised the floor area of the booyah to the level of the metal square. I still covered the metal with a rubber piece as my dog is large and her rump sometimes is positioned in that spot. I have a medium sized German Shorthaired Pointer who weighs around 65 lbs and needed both the ( 3 inch) cushion and the metal capped. Hope this helps.

I used the rubber tip too. I believe that what why it was provided. My dogs haven't had any issues to date.

I would need to see the exact setup. Chances are, that the head tube is too thick. Also, depending on your dog's behavior and strength, I would caution against having him/her pull on the front of the bike, as this can lead to abrupt changes of direction (potentially hazardous). The rear is less susceptible to course changes when a dog pulls. It could also easily be, that the dog's hind legs and the bikes rear wheel get too close if you attach the dog to the front of the bike.

Sorry, I've been out of town. There is a tiny metal "clip" in an indentation near the end of each wheel. Carefully remove the clip, then push the wheel into the hole, and replace the clip, which keeps the wheel from falling off. Hope that helps.

Turn the tube around so the opening faces the entry point. You should still be able to secure it the the back seat.

All we do is pinch the two prongs at the end of the wheel base to slide it off. If it's too hard to pinch, we have used pliers with the ends of the pliers padded with duct tape. We also make sure Hammy is blocked off from the hole to the wheel inside the cage (we use an old sun-catcher--it's weird but it works) a small, old lid would serve the purpose well. I also recommend using a small coating of vegetable oil, applied with a cotton swab, to both the stem of the wheel base & to the hole of the wheel to keep it from squeaking. We change out the wheel 2-3x a week because it quickly becomes the icky sticky "Wheel of Pee". So, I'd advise that you buy more than one wheel if you haven't already. Good luck!

Hi Chloe - The center access panel is pretty much a stiff piece of cardboard (or whatever is enclosed in canvas). If the dog is large and pushy enough, it can probably find a way to get past anything blocking the front seat gap. If the dog is respectful of visual barriers and doesn't try to jump over it, this might do the trick.

According to the pkg insert it is supposed to shut down if dog is not in.motion. It's motion activated and should go back in with movement.

I'm not certain just what you mean. I have had NO problems with mine and my lil dog loves riding in it. She has a swollen hear so I can't actually walk here on a leash very far.

There's a small cutout section on one of the corners. Pry on that cutout and the back will come off with some pressure. Don't worry, you won't break it.

I had a similar problem until I discovered that the rubber/neoprene had come off. Have not had a problem since. It stays where I put it and just leave it. Don't move it until I get a new automobile.

I just checked it. The straps that hold it in place can be slipped out allowing you to fold the piece down or under. I've never done it because my dog slips her head through the sides of that panel to get to AC. But your idea is better... It will work as suggested allowing that area to remain open. (I never did it because she, the dog, has a tendency to back seat drive then by attempting to join us in front seat!).

I haven't had such an issue. However, I would advise using every trick in the book available before you open up the casing of the front wheel. It doesn't look it would withstand an open heart operation.I would start by using the pedals in reverse, checking if there are any external obstacles, etc.

The front wheel is removed when attaching to bike. We love ours! It was a great buy & we haul 2 dogs in it when we can.

When we probably overpacked ours the front didn't line up perfect with it maybe riding up a half an inch but it wasn't open to where you could see inside. We drove with it that way without problems. I suspect you've got too much up front if you have an actual gap/opening or a defective top.

The safety tip is molded to fit around the safety cover. It just slips over the end.

The pet barrier goes behind the front bucket seats. The widest part is the top. The two top straps thread around the headrest brackets. One end threads between the two brackets and sticks through the buckle on the barrier ,holding it tight. The two bottom straps thread through the bracket holding the seat to the floor. They also thread around the bracket and come back to go through the buckle on the barrier, pulling till tight. Barrier should be tight to the back of the seats so a small dog wouldn't be able to sneak through to the front seats!!! To fold, just twist the top and bottom in the opposite direction and fold. The wire around the edge will act like a spring so you need to hold it tight to slide it back into the storage bag!!! Hope this helped.

Sounds like either you are not placing the rubber tube snuggly over the hose or your pet is moving it. I have placed ours on a skid proof mat (my dog is a sloppy drinker!) so it stays positioned correctly. That might help.
