What if I told you that my dog has a better commute than most New Yorkers I know?
I am the proud owner of the sweetest 50lb Goldendoodle named Biscuit and if there is one thing about him, it's that he is spoiled!
My boyfriend is big into biking during the warmer months of the year so we made the seemingly silly decision to invest in a bike wagon big enough for our good boy - but the real surprise is it ended up being one of our best decisions yet.
The Retrospec Rover Waggin Dog & Cat Bike Trailer features a foldable steel frame, weather-resistant fabric, mesh ventilation panels, and a built-in safety tether to help keep pets secure on the go.
Designed to support larger dogs, it offers a roomy interior and smooth ride for everything from neighborhood cruises to park adventures.
When we purchased the Retrospec Rover Waggin Dog & Cat Bike Trailer from our go-to pet site Chewy, we had no idea how much of a hit it would be with our fluff-ball.
The top-rated bike attachment comes in three unique colors and can hold pets of up to 50lb. For the longest time, I thought functional pet accessories like this were only for the tiny dogs of the world, but this find has proved me wrong.
Riding in style! The Retrospec bike wagon keeps my dog comfortable on journeys of any length
For the price, the Retrospec Rover Waggin Dog & Cat Bike Trailer is completely worth it. It took no time at all for my boyfriend to assemble and the only part that held us up was locating a tire pump.
Attaching the built wagon to your bike is relatively simple too. We used a common wrench to loosen the back tire bolts in order to securely attach the carriers hardware into place (the last thing we want is our poor Biscuit flying down the road!)
By far my favorite aspect of the design is its durability. The entire thing is so well made with each detail being highly thought-out for pet use. The interior features a removable hard sided flooring that is easy to clean and a safety leash that can hook onto your pups collar or harness.
The leash feature was the most crucial for us when purchasing because safety is our number one concern. It can be adjusted to fit your pet's size comfortably and for me that meant tightening it all the way.
Two other surprise elements that actually have come in handy are the sewn-in storage pouch and the rain cover! New York City tends to have volatile weather and there have been numerous sunny to rainy rides where we have utilized the wagons clear vinyl cover that simply folds over the front mesh.
Safety first! This pet bike wagon attaches to most adult sized bikes
The velcro pouch on the upper side of the wagon has been especially helpful on rides to store my pups treats, balls and long leash. It makes it so my boyfriend and him can go hand-free and just enjoy the ride.
Whether your doggo likes laying down or sitting up, the zip front allows for you to switch between the two seamlessly. If your pet is bougie like mine, you can upgrade the wagon's comfort with a cooling pad and some sweet treats.
We know that taking your pooch for a bike ride around town may not be for everyone - but after trying it out for ourselves it is definitely considered editor-approved.
