Visit the Schwinn Store for the Schwinn Rascal Bike Pet Trailer! This folding frame carrier is designed to fit both small and large dogs, and features quick release wheels and a universal bicycle coupler. It is easy to set up and offers superior build quality and capacity, making it one of the best Child Carrier Trailers available. JGJG: The product comes in one box visible what's on the outside. Unboxing the parts and putting this together was very difficult, the directions were not very helpful either. The flag pole came broken so I had to reach out to Schwinn for a replacement. Still working through this support..
As the other reviews have said the crossbar is so difficult that I am not sure I will be able to easily break down when transporting it, so that's why I may not keep the trailer. It also is a lot smaller than I was expecting. I got the bigger size thinking I could transport 2 40lb dogs after they get tired of running beside the bike. However, I think it would be extremely snug and maybe unsafe. It does seem like a stable trailer and good quality and I do like all the pockets, there are two interior and one on the outside; there is a bar in the bottom that folds down if you're stopping for a longer periods; the floor is hard so I recommend adding some cushion; there is an interior leash to connect to dogs harness; and, it did not come with tools to build it
Now for training the dogs to use it.. I kept it in the house for a week while I trained two dogs to go in and out of it and then...

mikal Phillips: This seemed like a great idea for our Golden-Doodle who loves to be outside and in the car. However, he normally rides in the front seat. As soon as he was placed in this trailer he howled in agony and felt confined because the net was closed. The ride was so traumatic he tore through the net and tried to climb onto the bike. He apparently did not like being behind us and the jerky motion of the bike. Opting for a doggy sidecar instead

Sherry: I loved this product however my dog did not, I ended up returning it for that reason. I think he is just to old to try new tricks. I would recommend putting your dog in this cart as a puppy to get used to it. I am very sad it did not work out for my boy. But I feel its a great product, easy to put together and very nice.

Jenelle: We love the trailer for our dog. Our Rottweiler loves it too. The only issue we had was that the cross bar had a broken edge when it arrived, so it was tough to get into place properly.

Curtis Livingston: The media could not be loaded. It's a tight fit for my 60 lb golden 8 month puppy. But I think it can work, however the zipper on the main front side is stuck and I've used pliers and all my strength, it won't budge. My item was clearly an open box item as the instructions were damaged, the parts bag open and the box taped heavily. Pretty frustrating if this thing was returned due to the zipper and they just resold it to me.

MC Hammer: Smells like cigarette smoke, or cigar smoke. I think it's the rubber from the tires or the matt. Just reeks.
Went together well, no issues, my dog loves riding in it but just waiting a few more days in hopes the smell goes away, it was brand new, box was glued so had some from factory like that.

miss p o'shea: Bought this for my 28kg dog . Arrived with an essential boot missing and another bolt had been just thrown in box and not in the plastic bag with other bolts etc.
Looks great and easy to attach to bike - My dog a little nervous at 1st about getting in. Took him 200 yards down the road and when I got back when I guess turning he had managed to break the front mesh which is very flimsy and never going to contain a large dog . I had the supplies belt attached to his collar at its shortest so to restrict movement to the max.
I contacted Schwinn as per instructions on Amazon and they responded from the US very quickly and gave me a UK based contact. Messaged them and after a follow up please reply email I got a polite email informing me that they did not supply / have anything information / replacement parts on this product. I forwarded this back to the US and received a short message saying they still could not assist and I needed to go via Amazon .
After some issues with getting through Amazon customer service were really good and even though they could not offer me any repairs advice they did refund me in full .
Bottom line is if you have any problems with this product...

Don: First of all, the fabric is so tight that you have to lay the trailer on it's side, step on the frame bar, and pull like hell on the other frame bar just to try to lock in the crossbar that disconnects at one end to allow you to fold the trailer. Second, the locking mechanism on the crossbar is plastic, so the locking tabs were the first thing to break during assembly. Without the ability to lock the crossbar, the trailer collapses the second you try to move it. I fixed this issue by drilling through the plastic connector and installing a screw; unfortunately, that means the trailer is no longer collapsible. with that being said, the trailer does pull really nice, though. Pulling this trailer is effortless with a 38 lb. Corgi riding in it. Overall, it's a nice sturdy trailer, but, when I need to replace it, I will NOT purchase this one again. If this was made with a metal locking mechanism instead of a cheap plastic one, my story would be different. I always trusted Schwinn, but this made in China crap will only hurt their reputation.

Ren: Works but could be a little bigger (higher) for my 45 lb dog. She's most comfortable sitting in it rather than laying down as she is tall. Appreciate the interior collar strap and that you can semi fold the trailer for travel/storage. Some room for improvement-the smaller opening (that you can fold back) on top could be bigger (there should be more space/of am opening closer to the rear bike tire) so the dog doesn't have to sit so far back in the trailer when sitting upright; you can open the trailer entirely but I wouldn't suggest this if on a gravel road or if you have a dog that may attempt to jump out. Additionally there is virtually no suspension so unless you're on asphalt or concrete, you don't want to go too fast (so the dog isn't taking the brunt of the bumps). Manuvering seems to be a breeze (I wouldn't take a turn fast though). Only complaint was that the trailer was missing a screw so we had to call Schwinn to get that (they were very good about it though and it arrived within a week from the states). Overall, good trailer for this price point. Would recommend if you don't have a dog that is overally anxious.

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: We tried everything, baby steps, got him to get used in the cabin using treats, walked the trailer, tried with the bike, nothing worked :( We had to return the unit. I did have a hard time installing the crossbar as mentioned by others. Other than that it was a perfect size for my 75 lbs. Goldendoodle. So sad I had to return as we were looking forward in doing some bike excursions with our dog. The trailer looked and felt great when I did some tests runs without my dog…
