| Dog stroller questions After spending an exhaustingly long day at a dog festival yesterday, I'm looking at buying a doggie stroller for other day-long events coming up this summer. Which you do prefer, the tripod-3 wheels (although they are actually 4 wheels but front two are close together ) or the quad-4 wheels variety? The pics below show the kind I'm looking at. Is one more stable than the other? One better on rougher terrain? I'd be using at it festivals, primarily held in park or mowed fields, so for pushing through grass or gravel areas, not sidewalks. Do they both fold down to the same size? I'm wondering how much trunk space I'd need. Thanks for your help

| I just bought the one you have pictured in blue yesterday. I haven't used it alot yet but we did take it for a little spin in the neighborhood this morning. It seemed easy to maneuver and pretty stable. Mine didn't come with a way to clip onto her harness to keep her inside. We bought it to use on vacation next week. We are going where the weather has been in the upper 90s and I was worried the pavement would be too hot on her feet if she walked.

YT 1000 Club Member | I have one like the blue one and I love it. I have used it a few times and will be using it more this year since I have the 4 girls that are definitely going to enjoy it when we go for long walks.

| I have this one Pet Gear AT3 All Terrain 3 Wheel Stroller Sky Blue PG8300BS and I love it! It is very easy to maneuver and opens and closes with one hand. It's kind of heavy is the only draw back!

| I've seen the AT3 in action & love it, but right now my only vehicle is a Mustang, and that stroller is huge folded. I need room in my trunk for a cooler & bag chairs too, so I'm looking for something a little smaller.

| So what do you think of this one? I think you said you have a small car (so do we) does it fit ok in the trunk? ZoE looks happy in there!!!

It does fit in my car's trunk and if I push it all the way to the back, it leaves just enough room for a couple of bag chairs in front of it and a cooler to the side. The problem is the trunk opening on my Mustang..it's just awkward to get things into...I'll probably trade it in this summer on a little SUV.

| I love our stroller, I have a totally different one and it's great for things like festivals and stuff. ZoE looks like she's enjoying it.
