Perfect for a dog cart
I bought this to take my two dogs further afield for their walks. They are between 22 and 25 kg each, so large dogs, and both fit in well. Assembly was easy enough, the instructions are pretty hard to see but the only thing is working out the order of the 3 washers that go on each wheel and after a bit of consideration it looks like I have it right.I put a bit of old foam mattress in the bottom to make it more comfortable and also less slippy as the bottom is shiny metal. I also put some hard cardboard on the inside sides to stop the dogs from pushing the material sides onto the wheels. I think it would quickly wear away the canvas and also makes it much harder to cycle if anything is obstructing the wheel.It took a bit of training to keep them in but with just 10-15 minutes a day they were staying in within 5 days.First day they hopped in, it wobbled and they hopped straight out. So when they hopped in I gave them a treat. I didn't move the bike, just kept it still. If they stayed in then more treats as they sat there.2nd day they hopped in and when they stayed for more than a minute I gave them a treat (kept on telling them to stay). I also walked the bike a bit and they hopped out when it moved the first few times. Treated again if they stayed.3rd day did more slow walking with the bike, they were nervous of the bumps but mostly stayed. Sped up a bit towards the end and they mostly stayed in.4th day I started going faster and started slowly cycling up and down my pavement. One of them jumped out once but otherwise they stayed in.5th day I slowly cycled to the park (about 4-5 minutes away), stopping to give them treats often. No one jumped out. On the way back went faster and they were a little nervous but stayed in.6th day- Cycled further and faster and they both stayed in. I only treated them at the start and end so would say they are pretty much fully trained. Not sure yet what will happen if we have a close encounter with a cat or fox but I keep on telling them to 'Stay' if I see another dog or something I think may cause them to jump out.The cart feels sturdy and is fairly easy to pedal even with a full load. I think this is going to be a fun and useful purchase. My young kids love it too and I have to keep taking them for a ride also.

Good for load lugging
I bought the trailer for towing my fishing gear to the lake about half a mile away search various types and reviews on the web. After reading the reviews for this cart I settled on buying it. The reviews are pretty accurate and these are my findings after assembly.Arrived next day great packaged well though box damaged in transit.The Trailer is LARGE and could have been possibly be 2 thirds of the size to be perfect for my needs.Construction is good not great but at the price point acceptable and time will tell for robustness.Assembly is fairly easy up to the point of the wheels, the supplied C clips and tool are useless and you might as well throw them away a shame. Ordered a box of assorted C clips of better quality.The wheels are average mass produced items first check is that the bearing hub is free running, one of mine wasn't and took a time to get free with oil and cursing.The fabric rubs on the wheels and will in time make a hole solutions still to be found.To summarize a okay trailer which needs better design and engineering with faults that quality control should pick up but seems to be non existent. A frustrating wheel spindle and C clip system which truthful had me so frustrated I had to have a another cup of tea.If you buy one of these trailers check the reviews because they are pretty on the money.

strong and reasonably heavy duty
I was surprised at how strong and well made this trailer is. I think that you get more for your money than you would expect. Sheet metal base and strong tubular steel frame. Well worth the money and delivered in double quick time....will be great for me to do the shopping and the trip to the pier to do some mackerel fishing. Great Trailer at a good price.

Its ok but not great...
GOOD POINTS; the trailer looks good, is relatively simple to put together and has ample carrying capacity mass and volume and the price is very reasonable. Also the trailer is easy to connect/disconnect to the bike.BAD POINTSThe first negative thing was that the wheels are very close to the side of the cart which makes them prone to rubbing the sides. This is made worse when cargo inside the trailer moves when cornering, it tends to push the canvas onto the wheels. This problem was easily remedied with some bungee hooks to hold everything in place.When empty the trailer is incredibly noisy, the metal base rattles over the tiniest bump which is a bit annoying at 5.30am riding through the village!Lastly and most seriously this trailer should come with a warning not to exceed a certain speed (id recommend 10-15mph) because twice in about 400 miles of riding it has caused incidents one near miss and one crash. If the trailer hits a pothole at speed it has a tendency to bounce around, i suspect this is made worse by the spring that is on the part that connects to the bike. The first time it happened the trailer bounced, hit the bridge wall and then flipped over, then today it hit a pothole and bounced into the kerb then fish tailed and sent me and my bike into the bushes. Both wheels now need truing and the trailer is looking very worse for wear.

Badly designed,
What a let down, very first use and the tyre rubbed that much against the canvas side it wore a hole in it! This is down to bad design! If they made the sides from the same tin as the base panels would have been better. I cannot recommend this to anyone for that reason.

Amazing
One of the Best Buy I have made on Amazon it’s easy to use and easy to store 1 bad poin is if you over full it the sides push out and rub against the wheel after awhile it ripped it so just over fill it I used mine for fishing and shopping
