This MIK version clicks onto a compatible rear carrier, making it easy to remove the basket when your dog is not coming along for the ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eWith a 32L capacity and a carrying capacity of up to 15 kg, it is a practical option for small dogs that are too heavy for a front handlebar basket.

The rear position keeps the handlebar free and avoids putting extra weight through the steering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe MIK system is the main practical feature. If your rear carrier has integrated MIK profiles, the basket can click straight on. If your carrier does not have MIK built in, a MIK Carrier Plate may be needed. Once fitted, the basket can be removed easily when you want to use the bike without it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe cushion gives your dog a more comfortable base, and the safety strap helps keep them connected to the basket while riding. The plastic construction is also easier to clean than wicker or fabric, which matters if your dog is regularly out in Wellington weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"margin:24px 0 10px 0;font-size:18px;\"\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 18px 20px;padding:0;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSmall dogs up to 15 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eShort local rides, errands and café trips\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRiders who prefer rear-mounted dog carrying over handlebar carrying\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eE-bikes, city bikes and commuter bikes with a suitable rear carrier\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDogs that are calm, settled and comfortable sitting in a basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"margin:24px 0 10px 0;font-size:18px;\"\u003eSetup options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMIK rear carrier:\u003c\/strong\u003e If your bike already has a rear carrier with integrated MIK profiles, the basket can click on using the included MIK fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard rear carrier:\u003c\/strong\u003e If your rear carrier does not have integrated MIK profiles, you may need a MIK Carrier Plate.

It is a wire dome that fits over the basket to help stop your dog from standing up, climbing out, or jumping from the basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"margin:24px 0 10px 0;font-size:18px;\"\u003eDog size and weight rating\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis basket is for small dogs up to 15 kg. Do not choose the basket by weight alone. Your dog also needs enough room to sit or lie down comfortably without being cramped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe bike’s rear carrier must be rated for the full load. That means the combined weight of the dog, basket, cushion, safety strap and any accessories must sit within the carrier’s limit. If the carrier is not rated for the load, the setup is not suitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Basil Buddy Space Frame does not increase the basket’s weight limit. It helps contain your dog, but the basket, MIK connection and carrier still need to be suitable for the dog’s size and weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"margin:24px 0 10px 0;font-size:18px;\"\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eRear dog baskets change how the bike feels, especially once your dog moves around. Start with short rides in quiet areas before riding in busier places, and keep speeds sensible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eCheck the basket, MIK connection, rear carrier, cushion and safety strap before each ride. Make sure the basket is clicked in properly and that your dog is calm before setting off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThis is a rear carrier basket, not a handlebar basket. If you want your dog up front and your dog is under 5 kg, look at the Basil Buddy front KF basket instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"margin:24px 0 10px 0;font-size:18px;\"\u003eFinal word\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Basil Buddy Dog Basket in biscotti brown is a practical rear-mounted basket for small dogs up to 15 kg.
