Is a front or rear basket best for stability, not causing falls

I'm not certain, but a front basket for me has worked well, especially if something shifts in my basket, I can see it and readjust before becoming unstable.

Front feels more stable for me, especially when making turns. When I had a rear basket, a load of groceries almost made me fall over when taking a wide turn. I like to keep an eye on what I'm transporting while biking in the city (usually my bag and laptop) so front is better for that. Also, I couldn't swing my leg over to get on the bike when I had the rear basket on.

I feel better about having a front basket. rear baskets can make you feel like you will fall over if anything back there shifts. I personally love the wald 157 bike basket, its huge. not for suspension bikes though

I have a flat rear bike rack that attaches to rear of seat and rear tire hub that i attach the basket to it with the plastic screw knobs. To make more secure, i run a bungey cord back and forth a couple times under the basket, hooking it to the bike rack. marion

I put a towel under the front part of it and that worked quite well. It did not compromise its stability at all.

I do not know the answer. We have 2 of these items and they are very sturdy. I am afraid that a basket would upset the balance of the walker. There are cloth attachments that fit well and carry a few items.

No. You need a headrest to support the weight of your pet or the basket will collapse do to poor support.

I have the smaller Wald basket, and sometimes it is heavy on the steering so parking the bike needs extra care in balancing when using the kickstand; an empty rack is best while parked.

I purchased the twin large baskets, bolted down. I added two more brackets from the hardware store to secure and for me to be reassure. Or, have bicycle shop get the hardware install them yourself or they'll install them for you. The only thing if men bicycle, better practice or kicking your leg a little higher. This basket is great, I store the 1 gallon milks to center the weight of the grocery loads. Will suggest to invest in insulated bags, to food cool or cold from summer weathers. Or, hot / warm food for the cooler / evening weathers. I'm sure you will enjoy the room / capacity, avoid the extra trips or limited room space on what to purchase what not to. Or, for other purposes. Enjoy. Bicycle safely.

You do need a support in the back of the bike, because it attaches itself to it. This basket only attaches itself to the back, its not a front basket at all. Its a great product though, I had it for a year now, and its still super sturdy. Hope it helps, cheers! =)

I have never done that with the basket and it is not mentioned in the directions that it can be used that way. However, I suppose that it could be secured to a rear bike rack somehow. One would have to figure out a safe way to attach it since there are no tie downs specifically for that purpose.

I purchased the bicycle for an elderly relative who has balance issues. She hasn't had a problem with it. The bicycle is very sturdy and doesn't tip over. She loves the bicycle and I'm happy with my purchase. I hope this helps you make a decision.

I have mine set to the side. I don't think there would be much in the way of stability with it to the front. Facing the front of the bike the frame rails would probably be to close to the outside edge to keep the bike from falling off. I have mine centered under the bike so it picks both wheels up off the ground at the same time. It is pretty stable that way

It will hold quite a bit of weight, but over time it will fail because the only thing holding the basket up are two small welds on the support bracket. The 198 model has support struts that attach at the front wheel axle, which are not subject to fatigue cracking over time. The downside is that model is not detachable.

I don't think so. Doing so would probably cause the basket to tip too far forward once any kind of weight is placed in it.

I have had this basket for several years and haven't found a rear rack (my own bike, borrows, or rentals) that it won't fit on. Also the handles are semi pliable, so I assume if you did find one that is oddly shaped, you could make the necessary adjustment.

The basket is very sturdy. You could use it for grocery shopping. I would not use it for extremely heavy loads

Hi, the price was important to me however this was purchased for my husband who weighs 260 and has balance issues. I also needed to make this purchase quickly. I just thought it would be more stable for him. The basket is important as you can't hold anything in your hands. We are very happy with this purchase. Good luck.
