What bicycle trailer would you recomend for a large breed dog?

runestoned

None of the dog specific ones are big enough, through researching on the net I think the burley cub would work - any ideas or experiences please? Would also like to be able to use it as a stroller and also maybe for kids in the future.

Answer
How heavy is your dog? Large breeds can weigh 200 lb

The weight limit for a Burley cub is 100lb (45kg)

If your dog is over 100 lb (45 kg)Try these guys their trailers are rated to 300 Lb (135 kg). A flat bed with a short fence should do the job.

You will want to make sure your brakes are up to the task. A 2 into 1 lever running to brakes on both wheels of the trailer used instead of your normal rear brake should do the job.

Your dog will love riding it is even better than "the head out the window of the car". I've taken mine on a few charity rides. Everyone seems to get a bit of a kick out of it.

Need a name for the thing that attaches to the bicycle?

ladyli

I'm lloking for a thing for toddlers that attaches to the back of the bicycle, a lot of people use them at parks and ride their bicycles with a little tent car with wheels that goes attached with the bicycle, does anyone know what that thing is called?

Answer
It is called a bicycle kid trailer, or a bicycle kid carrier. Either way works.
