Looking for a Pet Bike Pull-a-long Wagon - YorkieTalk.com Forums

You know the kind that attaches to your bike where you can pull them in the back? I have seen them for toddlers. My husband and I love to go bike riding and I think one would be perfect for the girls.

We went to a bike shop today and saw this metal one that looked like a cage. But they wanted $150 for it. surely I can find one that is less then that!

Any ideas?

Yes, I saw that post. I think they got it at Target -- for half of the $150 you said the one you just looked at was. Good luck!

We purchase a Schwinn pull-behind ($89). It is made for kids, but it has a great velcro closure. My hubby "re-vamped" it so it don't have a "backrest" in side. The dogs absolutely LOVE it.
Just a reminder:
1. The bigger the wheels, the smoother the ride.
2. Make sure that it has a swivel on the connection to the bike. So if the bike falls over the "burley" doesn't tip over.
3. We also made a harness connection for the dogs (using the same straps that we got with our Lookout carseat). The dogs are secure.
