Using the Basil Buddy Front Pet Bike Basket is easy. First, attach the Basil KF handlebar holder to your bike's handlebars. It fits most bikes, including e - bikes, and the extra expansion elements help with a proper fit. Once the holder is in place, simply click the basket onto it. Before putting your pet in, make sure to place the cushion inside and use the strap to secure your pet safely. The basket is made of non - toxic and durable plastic, so to keep it clean, just use a mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals. For the safety of your pet, always use the included Basil KF handlebar holder when mounting the basket. You can expand the basket by adding the Basil Buddy space frame wire dome (sold separately) if your pet needs more room.
