dog bike carriers

I've seen others with dogs in kiddie trailers. But putting the dog in with groceries? Sounds like a disaster to me! (unless it's broccoli)

Even broccoli would not work with my boy. He has not met a food he does not like. I have to be careful with him.

If you decide to go the trailer route the Croozer dog trailer that Smurf mentioned above are nice. One of our fellow TE sisters has one which we got to play with at a TE gathering. Her Croozer(older version) can be used with the sides folded down as a flat bed cargo trailer sans doggie.

Child trailers are nice in that you can pick up a used one pretty cheaply and most of them have a compartment in the back for groceries/gear. I think Burley has the most rear cargo storage but their resale prices tend to be higher.

I have a Chariot child trailer for DD, which I love, but it doesn't have a lot of cargo capacity - no zippered cargo compartment like Burley, just a pocket and shallow cargo tray in rear. However, it is easy to attach a backpack to the handle bar if I need to carry more than the cargo pockets can hold.

Here's the thread about it:

LOL! He must be part aussie.

I've been looking at a 2 child bike trailer. My thinking is, generally I trust my dog with the food (anything sealed is safe), and with her being 10 lbs there should be ample seat / floor space to hold both of them. It also just occured to me, that if I'm looking for something with a bit more space, she might be cozier on a seat than in a 30x30 flat floor slipping around (again, because of her size). Though a Croozer looks so nice, and ultimately more practical for cargo, but the mini seems too tiny for groceries and the regular size is a lot more expensive than a child trailer (I'm a poor student).

Hm, does that make sense or are there things I should reconsider in my logic
about a kiddie cart for the dog and groceries? Is the soft floor okay for a stack of groceries or 10 lb dogs?

Thanks
