How's the Basket Work? I'm a little confused about how the basket works, could someone clear it up?

There is a lever on the side of the lid. Under the lid, there is a metal arm that attaches to a basket. When you rotate the lever, the basket attached to the metal arm is lowered enough to be submerged in the liquid. Once you are done steeping, you can turn the level so that the basket is raised back under the lid.

I read all the other answers and totally disagree. I had no problem making this basket fit. I knew what I had to do before I ordered this basket.

The basket is not welded to the tracks. You can place the tracks where you need them and then attach the basket.

I just went and checked mine out. The handles seem to be on there to stay. one end is welded ( or what ever) and the other the rods are curved so I can't pull them out of the basket part. So you got me?

I just saw this question and I'm sure you must have it on by now but wanted to answer for others out there...I had a difficult time as well bc there's only a picture for instruction. But, I had also ordered a second small basket that came with its lid on so I looked at how that was on (just like the picture instruction) and realized I needed to use FORCE to snap it in. That's all it needed to go right on.

Depend on what your using it for. I use it for walking only, which means I don't use the basket. Without the basket, you can open and close it in a second and pass it through a small space.

What you see in the picture minus the items in the baskets. ... You get the two baskets and the racks they slide in. (I'm not sure if I am explaining that well. Hope it helps.)

It's really simple,fast to pull out basket to empty !! As for the mess well that's would be up to you if you let the basket over fill then you will need to bring out the broom!!

I am not sure. However as a customer, I was happy with the product. It might be possible to locate and purchase a similar basket for the second girl.

Either something is probably bent around the basket ... straighten it out .... or ... there might be a small metal spur around the moving parts that will have to be twisted off with needle nose pliers or filed off with a small metal file. Push comes to shove, and you don't have a metal file .... try the file on a pair of fingernail clippers. (It's worked for me before) ..... or .... call "Amazon Customer Service" and they will be happy to take care of it for you with a new one. I do like mine a lot !

I have two of these and I use them everyday. I don't remember, but I think they come pretty much assembled. if I remember I needed to attach the basket, but I am not sure, I purchased these more then 5 years ago. I COULD NOT GET ALONG WITHOUT THEM.

when you use it the disc's stick to the food and comes out each time. how do you get the disc to stay in place and not lift out. Does the basket come out so you can insert the disc

Yes the adapter comes with the basket. I believe there is another adapter for baskets that don't fit on some bikes. The one that comes with this basket fits most bikes so you should not have a problem. This is a great basket. It went on my bike easily and my little 4 pound Yorkey just loves it! The only thing I will say it is a little top-heavy and it takes a little while to get used to the extra weight in the front. It attaches very firmly though, unlike other one that I tried that was wobbly and I had to return it.

Mine is steal with holes. If the basket is now mesh, it has been changed. I love mine and highly recommend it.

I don't have much skill myself. But this was easier then I thought. For the most part it is assembled. As I recall, all I had to do was put the netted basket on and snap the wheels on. I've gone thru several baskets and I absolutely think this is one of my best purchases. It's easy to collapse when I'm not using it. And it is easy to operate. I do daycare, so I take mine everywhere. I hope this helps.

you have to remove the basket (6 bolts) and then the top goes down fine. Its not difficult but it is a pain if you do it alot. You may want to get different bolts for the basket if thats the case because the allen heads on the supplied bolts wont last if you remove them alot.
