| Pet Stroller Discussed travel with DH so he suggested that a stroller would be a good idea. Yeah, we're on the same page....almost. His idea is to find a used one at a thrift store to see if Buddybear will even take to it. Okay, so I will look In the meantime.......all of you stroller owners please share your thoughts, experience on stroller purchase. I've seen no zip type, zipper type, etc...... Input please!!!! TIA,

| It's me again, lol...we have the Pet Gear NV, got it from Drsfosterandsmith.com, they have promo codes and they shipped really quick. My first was one from Petco, it was zippered and the one I have now is no zip, I like the no zip better. When you have them in the stroller sometimes kids will rush up to them and Presley nor myself really cares for that, so when I see a herd of kids running up I can quickly close them up. The Pet Gear also came with a portable air pump in case the tires were to lose air when out and about (I have not had that problem) it also came with a weather cover, which keeps it warmer in the winter or keeps them dry when raining. There is a lot of good strollers out there, check on Craigslist someone maybe selling one, you never know

| The time is coming soon for us to get a stroller. Toto doesn't walk far anymore esp in the cold, and I end up carrying him if we go more than half a mile. I never wanted to be a stroller person. LOL Actually if I had the money I would buy an English pram (those really fancy old style baby buggies) but use it for dogs, since I don't want human babies. But they are like $2000+ so um yeah, not happening. So for the no zip ones, how does the top close?

| Oh I would LOVE to have the English style buggy too, but yeah - not gonna happen lol. The top of the stroller will fold down and latch in the front, it is a quick close, I really like that feature of it. When I was looking strollers it wasn't a big deal either way to me, now that I have the no zip I love it!

| Yes on the no zip! The rest depends on how you plan to use it. I am a runner and need on that like lots of use and different terrains, grass, gravel, trails. I use the Pet Gear NV for that. If you are going to be side walk, street use then you don't need one with those features. I use the standard Pet Gear for just going into crowds etc. it has the inflatable wheels and no zip cover. That being said - I have a sports car and the two stroller I just mentioned don't close down as flat as I need if I'm putting lots of things in my trunk. Any stroller that has 3 wheel is not going to fold as flat the the 4 wheel kind. Good luck with your search.

| Can you use a child stroller like the umbrella style? Are they not safe for puppies |

They do take up more room in a vehicle, I have a Tahoe so it fits well with plenty of room to spare. A sports care would be a tight fit to try to carry other things. I am a huge fan of the rubber tire verses plastic tire, it's like going from an old Pinto to a new Cadillac. To me its worth the extra money for the rubber tire, they will last much longer.

| I personally wouldn't use an umbrella stroller for the babies, they need to be secured in tight. There is also not much room for them to stand up/lay down. I would worry they could get hurt.
