The basket is, both empty and filled to the brim, sufficiently sturdy and stable. The basket can be cleaned sufficiently well when needed. The mesh material that forms the cover is opaque, the lashing mechanism (type Kinderjacken cord) acts unfortunately somewhat impractical and "ugly". Unfortunately, the basket tilts due to the tension of the rods to twist and subsequent collapse if you moved him rudely when empty.
So far, the skeletal bars and take-up leaders are undamaged even after 3 years, described as a failure of the other reviewers, is due to the unfavorable, weak interpretation but foreseeable.
The purpose of the handle loops reveals itself to me not quite, because the basket reflected depending on carrying equipment in the shin, the bar or the hip.
