They work fine, but should probably be used for bulky but reasonably lightweight cargo. putting too much weight in the basket could overload it (follow manufacturer guidelines) and lighten the steering on the front wheels.

Some hitches have a bolt that you can tighten that will keep it from rattling or moving.

Be sure to wrap the cargo to protect it from rain and road debris.

And last, but not least, don't forget it's back there when you're backing-up!!
