How often does the pack tilt to one side? I bought a previous outward hound backpack and it was always flopping over.

I've never noticed a problem. I do make an effort to equally load both sides with equal weight. My dog loves her pack. She knows she is going to work.

It tilts some but doesn't flop over. I think the chest strap helps. We also try to balance the weight load so it is as even as possible.

Even with the weight perfectly balanced (i.e. with the exact same items in each pack), this pack was continually flopping over to one side on our hikes. I'm going to try a different brand now that this one has fallen apart.

I use the black Condor as a backpack at my University. The back support is 10x better than my previous pack, which was my main purpose for getting it. The pack is not conducive, however, to carrying multiple textbooks, loose papers, and my laptop in the main pouch because everything sort of falls to the bottom. I would highly recommend the pack, but only if you buy some sort of dividers to go in the main pouch.

I put 2lb or 5 lb weights in my dogs backpack one on each side if it is not full of water bottles and food. It has held up and ive had it about a year already. It has also gotten wet and that did not damage it.

It does tip over but not as easy as they say, I love the bag and tipping over has a lot to do with how it is packed, I would not hesitate to buy another

It holds up pretty well as long as you have the straps pretty snug and each side evenly weighted. If the sides are not weighted the same the pack will become lopsided on your dog shortly after you start running.

It flops down, it is not propped to stay "open." My whippet can dig her way inside and the top flap collapses on her , but that is how she likes it. It also folds inside out; so the red side is folded open, like a jacket. Makes sense? Either way, my dog really loves this little bed.

i have two winnie walkers and i find that i have to keep balance by how i walk. since i lean forward because of my back the walker stays pretty much in balance for me.DID YOU NOT GET A PAMPHLET WITH YOUR WALKER? I WOULD CALL THE MANUFACTURE TO GET THE INFO YOU NEED.

I have two of these pretty much loaded with clothes and have not noticed any swaying or weakness, but I don't roll them around, they stay in one spot all the time. Hope this helps.

I have noticed a very very slight tilt. It's only noticeable if I pull my feet off the ground and lean the chair all the way back. If I do that it will start to spin very slowly. I figured that it was due to the fact that I lean it pretty heavy anyways and I am 6'4" and 350lbs, so not a little person. Other than that the padding and stitching and everything else is still in fantastic shape. I have only had it for 6 months but I spend probably 12+ hours a day in it.

It is the sturdiest of the ones I have purchased for my dogs. It also has a harness that the bags detach from so that at rest stops you can remove the load from your dog as you would your backpack. It would hold sufficient weight for your dog. Please remember that your dog should carry no more than 25% of it's body weight and if you have never used one on your dog, you will need to build the weight up slowly over time.

It does not fold completely flat. Would probably take up more room in your backpack than you would want.

Mine can definitely tilt. It sounds like yours is either defective or the hinge is just really tight! (some pictures for proof: http://imgur.com/a/MAN8L )

No, it does not. If your pack is designed to accommodate a water reservoir though, it should stay put. I have been using mine hard this hunting season, and had no problems with it.

I have this and love it. I have a 9 and 4 lb Yorkies and they have plenty of room. We originally bought it for the beach but haven't made it yet. We have used it at the lake. It is tough to get folded back up so I recommend practicing a few times before hand. It gets easier each time

Yes, it does tip over when loaded especially if the weight is towards the front rather than towards the back. Mine does tip over. The bottom is very sturdy. Though, if you overload your backpack, the exposed bottom portion of the middle section can wear out if rubbed against the ground because it isn't protected.

So far it holds both my mine a pitty and boxer but it has a zipper in the middle so if you don't buckle them in flip it around so the zipper goes to the back rest area,but they still jump in front but does keep them from falling all over. If you buckle them in it has openings that velco at bottom to get at to pull straps through. Mine just lay down. Hope this helps.

It is inward facing only, but when the baby is old enough it can go on back (back pack style). It is a great product. I have used it for two babies, and my 18 month old is still riding in the backpack. I love it!!!!
