  • This is the channel's first product review! Watch as my Labrador retriever and I test out our first bicycle trailer: a Schwinn Rascal Plus. Please enjoy our honest opinion in the video above!
    Corrections:
    Suface tension/energy is not surface area; but, interestingly, both play a role in friction! Just ask your Mom.
    "Adjustable damping" was misread as "Adequate dampening." Please share in the comments which one your mother appreciates more.

    i too with my first wife had this type of trailer. i could also put a wheel on the front and run with them in it. had two dogs a scotty and poodle that loved there time in this unit. i would agree as with most of your findings, but back then it was made for a kid, i took out seat and put in some towels. i would rate it a C minus. great voice over and editing sir. some thing different. not sure i offended one of your friends in a later video. he was upset at a comment i made. i believe you would have found it funny. i think it was " bad hunter and vegetarian" comment. i would think you would have found that funny. anyways glad to see you back in my fed.

      I must have missed that, Blake. It's a popular joke. No offense taken. But, I'm also tickled that someone stuck up for me! I'll go back and check it out.
      And, thanks for backing up my review!

    What kind of cargo netting did you use? Is there a particular one you would recommend. I see that the zipper is a bit clunky so I think the netting makes sense.

      Hello again @michaelhelduser6762. Here’s a link to the type of netting. a.co/d/9nshSfP. It’s a cargo lifting net that I modified by cutting to size with a pair of scissors and resewing. I did this for added piece-of-mind. I wrapped the netting around the frame and attached with carabiners. If you have a small dog, one who prefers to lie down, or don’t see any wear in your canopy, I’m not sure I’d go to the trouble of adding the netting. The zippers on the trailer are very easy to operate. They’ve taken some abuse over the last month and are holding up fine. I’m sure my netting could be attached in such a way that makes it less cumbersome. However, fastening and unfastening the netting is so much of a pain, that I now have the dog board at the front of the unit instead. This works for us and allows me to hold the rear tire between my legs to prevent the bike from tipping while loading up. The netting is a much more durable material. I can foresee a time (months or years from now) when I will have replaced all four walls. Please keep in mind that limbs could become tangled when loading and unloading your pet, so modify at your own risk. Hope this helps. Take care!
