How to use

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility with your bicycle rack and observe the recommended load capacity for safe handling. Avoid leaving the basket exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods to reduce cosmetic fading, and clean with mild soap and water as needed. When carrying a pet, use a secure restraint and avoid rough terrain or high speeds; always prioritize the animal’s comfort and safety.
