Does anyone have or used one? I'm using a K9 Navigator backpack at the moment, but as Border pup now weighs 7.5 kg and I am in my 70's Buddyrider might fit the bill. So not too technical xc and general transport. Any views or experience with them?

@chipps has one, but his dog is not very big!

It's ok on fire roads and mild stuff.

I use it more for gravel loops with the missus.

I thought you meant a border collie! 😂 wondered how you would see where you’re going.

Does she fit in one then?

Just think of those doggy farts in your face!

Yep, we have one and Jess absolutely loves it. She gets to smell the smells and lord it over the other dogs. It took a few treats to get her used to the harness and being lifted into the rider, but she's very chilled in it. Off road - canals, fireroads and cobbles, no problem at all, for dog or rider... Jess is 10kg or so - a sort of long wheelbase daxy-terrier
