Using your Basil Buddy dog basket is easy. First, attach the Basil KF handlebar holder to your bike's handlebars. This holder fits most bikes, including e - bikes. Once it's securely in place, simply click the basket onto the holder. Before putting your pet in, place the cushion inside the basket and use the strap to keep your pet safely seated. When it comes to maintenance, since the basket is made of non - toxic and durable plastic, you can easily clean it with mild soap and water. Just make sure to dry it thoroughly. Remember, for your pet's safety, always use the Basil Buddy KF in combination with the included Basil KF handlebar holder. The Basil Buddy space frame, if you have it, can be placed over the basket to give your pet more room, but it's sold separately.
