Post Your Stroller Pics please and why do you have one - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Izzy Princess · 09-13-2007, 09:17 AM

OK - I'm debating on getting a stroller and I've seen some threads with a lot of you having them but very few with pics of your furkids in them. Help me decide which one, type, where to get, etc.

Also - why would you need a stroller if you have them on a harness???? What's the benefit of having a stroller?

My husband thinks it's dorky but I think they are super cute.

Help me decide!!!

I have one that I only use when I'm going to fairs and other crowded outdoor activities. When the puppies were younger and didn't have all their shots I also used it when I went into pet stores and the vets (those floors can be so filthy).

This is an old pic - keep forgetting to take a new one

Oh, and I purchased it on ebay.

browniesmom622 · 09-13-2007, 09:31 AM

we use ours for crowded places
shopping alot more stores let us in cause hes contained
& i have to arms to shop bug basket to put our stuff

when we took ours to get there shots it was alot easier then having them all over the place i was able to talk the the nurse and dogter they were sitting calm in the stroller
there are so many reason we love ours

Tiger's Mom · 09-13-2007, 02:13 PM

Cyndi I highly recommend getting one . . . easy to maneuver and boy you will have an extra hand to do other things

Took Annika to the pet fair and I tell you it was scorching hot so she did not have to walk on hot concrete and so was able to look like a DIVA whilst mom checks out various vendors

Shelby&Seymour · 09-13-2007, 04:39 PM

We use ours all the time!!...... Festivals, Campgrounds, Stores, Parks...... Sometimes our yorkies are worn out when we camp..... even if they are "pooped", we can take a nice long walk with them in the stroller. Also, when there are many dogs around, it is nice to have them in the stroller for the added protection. I get a little nervous when people with big dogs think it is cute to let their dogs play with my little ones. Many are not aware that a large dog "playing" could prove to be tragic with a little yorkie. I just don't like it, especially if I don't know the dog. (and of course, there are always the little kids that want to pick them up right away!!!!).............. a stroller just helps eliminate these situations where there are lots people and dogs around.
We ended up with this stroller from Petsmart. It has bigger wheels, which are great for "3-wheeling" thru the campgrounds. I like the 3 wheels .... much easier to manuver ( I had one with 4 and it just didn't steer very well). The cup holders are a MUST when you are a coffee drinker

.

Hope this info helps!...... this stroller is really good size and they can lay down in it if they want to!

Everyone - thanks sooooo much - this is awesome and love all your cute pics of your babies in the stroller..how cute. You all sold me on the why's and many I would have never have thought of. Shelby and Seymour's mom you are so right in that too many big dogs, little kids, etc., can hurt our little munchkins and having them in a stroller can prevent all that.

K - another question....do people make snide or rude remarks when you have them in the stroller?

daisy mae06 · 09-13-2007, 04:56 PM

here are Kodi and Pixie in ours They love it. We have taken it camping to the vets
before I got it people laughed about it but now that I have it they agree that it is cool and worth it.
with three it helps keep them all togther and safe

LuvMySissy · 09-13-2007, 04:57 PM

I just got the same one Shelby&Seymour's mom posted and I like it so much better than the first one we got that Tiger'sMom shows.

When I got the first one (the PetTrax 3 in 1), I purchased that specific one as it is versatile. The carrier comes off the stroller base and can also be belted in the car as a car seat. Well, my girls would have nothing to do with it as a car seat and they hate being in a carrier. As a stroller it is okay except my daredevils like to jump out. Even though I would strap them in, they would still fling themselves over the side dangling!!! When zipped up, it is not really something they can stand up in - so they hated that as well!!!!

So, I just got the new one and I love it so much better and so do they. They have plenty of room to stand, can look out the back as well and there is also plenty of room for them to lay down.

We used the stroller on vacation and the girls were allowed in many stores they would not have been in the stroller. It is also very convenient at the vet's office and other places you may not want them on the floor!!!!

Yorkiekids · 09-13-2007, 05:01 PM

I love my stroller. I take my babys for walks in it all the time. Especially on Saturdays when I'm searching the yard sales.

Most people don't even realize that there are YORKIES in there!!! Shelby & Seymour are pretty quiet when they ride... and it looks so much like a regular stroller. The ones who do notice.... just smile and giggle. I have never heard anything rude...... there are a few that think it is a bit much BUT...... they have never had a Yorkie!!! Not any different than the reaction that I have got when Shelby & Seymour have "doggie duds" on! I just kind of blow it off........ Every has a "hobbie" and spoiling them is mine!!!!

LouisLove · 09-13-2007, 08:04 PM

I have to admit that I laughed and scoffed at these strollers But I am now really wanting one. My hubby doesn't want one though

Loooove the pictures!!!

Chelsey · 09-14-2007, 03:58 AM

This is our second stroller, the one we had i sold because it was really only meant for one pooch, so i bought a bigger one.

We use it for mall's, markets, crowded places, vet's, walks, indoors when they want "time out"

zoeybear · 09-15-2007, 09:41 AM

Zoey prefers under not "in" the stroller.

That's so cute - well now you have extra room to get Zoey a buddy!! hehehe. Or more room for shopping!

Thanks everyone for all your pics they are so cute and you have all convinced me that getting a stroller is as Martha Stewart would put it, "A good thing!"

Yorkiekids · 09-16-2007, 06:13 AM

Finally got a picture of my stroller, so here it is. We love going for walks in it.
