Best of the Best
K9 Sport Sack
Pet Carrier Backpack For Small and Medium Dogs
Check Price
Bottom Line

A backpack with holes for your dogs legs to go through, allowing you to take him with you to work or on adventures.

Pros

Available in different sizes and has one of the highest weight capacities we've seen (up to 35 lbs.) Ideal for a leisurely bike ride with a calm dog. Chest straps help distribute the weight from being concentrated on your back. Great for older dogs.

Cons

Dogs with longer legs may not be able to get comfortable. Chest straps can break off easily.

Bottom Line

It's like a basket that easily attaches to the front of your bike and can be detached so you can carry it like a purse.

Pros

Built for small dogs (10 lbs. or less), that prefer to go everywhere with their owners. Has a comfy inner-material that helps calm the dog. Easy to add or remove from your bike's handlebar.

Cons

Features an inner strap to secure the dog that can snap if you aren't careful.

Bottom Line

A front-facing carrier for dog parents who literally treat their pets like they're babies.

Pros

Designed to comfortably carry your dog as you both face the same way. Has a layer of sponge between the dog and your stomach to maximize comfort for both. Comes with a breathable mesh to help heat escape. Good for up to small-medium dogs (the XL can carry up to 22 lbs.)

Cons

Dogs might struggle to get comfortable as they're awkwardly situated.

Bottom Line

A sturdy bike basket that's suitable for most bikes, but not all. If it will work for your bike and dog, it will provide stability thanks to the steel mount and safety leash.

Pros

The safety leash on the inside of the carrier provides security by attaching to the dog's harness. Doesn't tend to sway. Mesh sides provide air flow for pets. Comes is various colors.

Cons

Somewhat challenging to attach. At least one owner had issues with it fitting a mountain bike.

Bottom Line

You'll ride adorably with this dog basket that features a leash clip to keep your buddy secure.

Pros

The perfect option for owners of intrepid small dogs (it has a capacity of 10 lbs.) Features storage pockets and is stable when installed properly. The bottom is firm and machine washable. Fashionable design.

Cons

Take it for a test ride before putting your dog in it. The strap inside the basket could be of better material and is a bit long.
