To order this for DD? Help!

[MrsWinnibago]

DD is 10 and has been asking for a bike basket for a while now. She rides to school daily and wants something for her school things as she hates rucksacks.

I've just been looking on Amazon and all the baskets look like little tiny girl's baskets...pink, small, not really practical.

Now DD rides a "Boy's" bike (eye roll at giving bikes sexes) and it's white and yellow...quite sporty looking...so a little pink wicker thing will be silly on it.

I looked at a white and yellow wicker one but it's too small. I found this and thought it was good...DD said she wants one with a waterproof thingy...but is it too "Old lady"?

Can anyone find me something better? I know this is AIBU but I really want to know...AIBU to buy an elderly looking basket for my already slightly odd 10 year old?

Go for it, I think it looks cool :)

Will you be able to return it if she doesn't like it?

Maybe the plain black version instead?

I think that looks awesome. Why not ask her?

Or just a mesh basket? (Use a plastic bag for waterproofness?)

but is it too "Old lady"?

God, this ^^ pisses me off.

I like this one: amzn.to/1oWB6xu

It comes in many more colour options and is a similar price.

What's wrong with it?

Forgive me for asking as I am an old lady (of 50 years) and I like it. I thought it was going to be green tartan or something really old

I have one of these and love it. The waterproof cover is genius. I got mine from Halfords - take a look there too.

decathlon have a decent range

bike baskets

Read the reveiws and a lot of users have said that it is very difficult to fit.

Apart from that I would go for it

rhi I like that one too! isitsnowing I am 41...so not young...sometimes I'm quite old fashioned I think. Needed more opinions.

Rhwrites one is more modern.

Think it looks quite cool!

I had a look at your link. What's 'old lady' about it?

Happy because it's brown I think...

its cool although it could cause issues if she lays the bike down wen she gets off.

if there another coloured one other than brown. like a nice red or yellow.

MrsWinnibago They wear brown shoes or brown hair slides or brown school blazers, don't they?
