Can I use this to transport my school supplies? I usually have a 5-20lb backpack every day. Could this basket hold that while I ride to school?

I think you would have no problem. I have it mounted on a knee scooter and put my life in it without problem. When you don't want to use it, it pops right off easily. I think the only bad th I.g a out this basket was the initial installation. Once installed it has been fantastic.

I do believe it will work well with a back pack. The reason I say this is I used it for a large soft cooler bag to go to the farmers market and purchase what was needed. I am unsure if it has a weight cap on the basket. With what I used it for, it met my needs. I would purchase it again. Works fine for my needs.

The problem with this really cool basket is the bracket/release system. It is made of plastic and didn't last very long. I had to zip tie it to my bike as the bracket broke a week into using it. It didn't survive the bouncing around. If you buy this basket, zip tie it to stay. I love the basket and the size but not the quality of the attaching mechanism.

Misty, In reference to sturdy; yes, this pack is very sturdy and put together very well. As for a backpack for school; it would indeed work, it has a lot of room and pockets for small items. I wear it all day while out bow hunting without any discomfort or fatigue.Hopefully this will help.Have a fantastic day!

My style of bike there would not be enough room for another rack under the basket. As far as weight limit, for the question of holding a 24 pound dog, it's basket depth as well as design~ my personal opinion is it's not gonna hold 24 pounds, more for under 10 lbs, like a pair of shoes,a 2 liter of soda & some sandwiches. In my general use it held a small purse backpack & water without effecting steering too badly.

I wouldn't use it to carry anything heavy. It's a good trunk organizer and it keeps your bags from tipping over, but it isn't really built for carrying things. It sticks pretty firmly to the trunk floor with velcro too.

Sorry I just read the specs on the other basket I listed says a maximum of 13 lbs.Any how I wouldn't be comfortable putting my pet in this either way. The basket slides off fairly easily. I only put groceries in it. Haven't really tested the limits on how heavy I can go with this either. Hopefully you can find a pet carrier that will support at 24 lb pet. I am sure they are out there just need to look. Hope this helps a little bit :)

Never used it to carry items from the car to house, but it believe it is sturdy enough to do the job. I wouldn't put more then 25 pounds in it, if your using it to carry things in it. That said, it has been perfect for keeping things organized in my trunch; holds more then i expected.

It's too big for a regular backpack. It weighs 25 lbs (not 10 lbs) so it's a bit heavy, but not if you're adaptable to that kind of weight. I think it's pretty sturdy and I'm happy with my purchase. I do recommend the skeg for better steer-ability.

The bag is built very sturdy I have not put a lot in mine yet but I do believe it would be able to handle you using it as a handbag/school bag

I think it could be it will depend on how much gym gear you have and carry all the time. I think you can use this one for books and gym gear but it all depends on the quantity as everyone is different. My son have tons of books and he also carries his Gym cloths for school.

The basket will only hold a few items. No bulky items. Books, small balls and toys only. You would need a larger basket for stuffed toys or a large quantity of toys, etc. Very easy for children to pick up and carry lightweight items.

This could function as a school backpack, but that depends on how much you intend to carry. A laptop will take up some space and the rest can be notebooks; that would work. But the books you intend to carry are pretty big, then this probably won't work. I carry my laptop, a binder, and two notepads and it's pretty full.

Personally, I wouldn't try to use it as a portable item. Granted, it is not heavy but it is bulky and takes up quite a bit of room. If you were to use a larger backpack, it might work.

Yeah it isnt especially strong, and you have to be careful with it, but the backpack is extremely comfortable. All my friends at school love it. So if you can deal with a little bit weaker of a zipper, then its worth it.

You could get two hefty textbooks, maybe three if you are ok with a bulging middle part of the bag. It's only about 3" 'deep' with three sections(laptop, tablet, and aux.) It's a great laptop around the town bag, but not sure how durable it'd be with 20lbs. of books and school stuff in it... :-l

I dont see why not. Assuming you dont put a alot of weight inside it. It carries all of my bike tools and personal stuff just fine, along with a bike cable and lock. I get alot of compliments on it.

It can hold most textbooks and binders that I've used it with. In terms of how much, I never put too much but it can fit about 4 inches thick worth of books/binders/notepads. I don't advise doing so but that seems to be the spacial capacity.So while technically yes, very little. I advise using this bag for light loads, such as reading books + notebooks while avoiding binders and textbooks that are naturally just large/heavy.

i don't now about a basket but you can get a backpack that fits over the seat back. it zips shut which is nice.
