Take Your Small Pet Along on Walks, Runs and Rides

Dogs generally love to run, but smaller varieties and older dogs may have trouble keeping up, or finishing a full outing - especially during longer excursions, and on hot days. That's where the Croozer mini dog comes into play. This compact canine transport accessory is a 36" (l) x 24" (w) x 15.5" (h) enclosed space providing up to 100 lbs of carrying capacity. The unit assembles easily with minimal use of tools, with side wall folding up from a flat position, locking erect and secured in place with metal pins. Once upright, two 16" wheels are attached to the bottom axle with provided hardware and a wrench. Eyelets at the side provide tie-down spots for dog leashes and leads during movement or when stationary. Small storage pockets are accessible at the front an rear of the enclosure for small items. Because of the low-profile of the Croozer mini dog, an orange color coordinated safety flag is included that can be raised into two positions for maximized visibility. The Croozer mini dog can be used as either a stroller, or as a bike trailer with included different attachments.

Use as a Stroller Mode

Stroller mode allows owners to push their pets as they walk behind the Croozer mini dog. In this mode a raised, and rear angled handlebar with a rubberized grip cover attaches at the rear of the unit, while a stroller wheel, with 360-degree mobility range allowing for maximized maneuvering, attaches at the lower front. Both attachments are quickly connected and disconnected using securing pins, spring clip bolts. To ensure that the unit does roll away or is pulled away from a stationary position, the Croozer mini dog includes parking brake functionality. The brake lever affects the two rear wheels, and is located at the lower rear of the unit. It can be operate hands or feet, moving in a side-to-side motion.

Use as a Bike Trailer Mode

When used in bike trailer mode, the Croozer mini dog connects to a towing bicycle through a combination of a hitch element that attaches to the rear axle of the bicycle wheel, and a single rugged drawbar with a coupling at its end. Both the hitch and the drawbar are left-aligned, attaching to the bike, opposite the rear derailer. This eliminates the possibility of trailer interference with the shifting of bicycle gears. The hitch is semi-permanently mounted on the rear axle, and is compatible with both axle nut and quick release hub configurations. The coupling at the end of the drawbar slides over the hitch and is secured with a spring bolt clip. The bolt is strapped to the drawbar, so it will never be lost when the drawbar is removed is removed. The drawbar also has a safety strap connected to it that wraps around the bike frame. This ensures a connection to the bike in the unlikely event of the drawbar disconnecting from the hitch during use. The drawbar section just below the coupling is flexible, providing smooth pivoting into turns, and its opposite connection to the mini dog enclosure utilizes an easy-to-use, and remove, quick release fitting. (The drawbar should always be removed when in stroller mode.)
