Hi Roberta, with this mechanism, the basket is wobbly by nature. Feels like it may fall off, but it hasn't. I think it will be fine for 10 lbs or so cargo (a little more maybe, on wider racks) as long as you slow down on bumps.
Here's a picture from when I had loaded it with two 6-packs and a few more things. https://photos.app.goo.gl/pcVf21fG8SUcV8Hr9 It was 5-mile ride from the store. It held up fine.
