Good, sturdy basket to transport the dog in
The Basil buddy is a great bike basket to transport the dog in. We have an adult French Bulldog (about 11kg), she is already on the large side for the basket but fits in just fine. She loves going on the back with us to the beach or the park. The Basil Buddy is easy to mount (especially when your bike has a MIK carrier), it is well attached and with a small action you can easily "click" the basket off the carrier when you no longer need it. Moreover, the basket is good and easy to clean, after each use we wipe the basket and cushion with a damp cloth. We do not use the metal top (to be ordered separately) as our dog is too big for this. As far as I am concerned, there are two points to highlight : the rim and the cushion. The edge of the basket is thin, so the dog cannot rest his/her head on it. This is also clearly visible in the photos but good to realise. In addition, it is good to know that the cushion (fine thickness as far as I am concerned) can be attached to the bottom with a piece of Velcro provided. This is a bit fragile but has not been a problem yet. We are very satisfied with the bike basket and use it regularly.

Beautiful basket
I had to mount the supplied MIK system on my existing MIK system wide luggage carrier with battery. The basket is far forward, against saddle. Can't mount it any other way. The legs under the basket are too deep to fit it without the supplied system.
