| Happy Trails Pet Stroller Review This stroller can pass for a real human baby stroller. So if you want to sneak your dog in to places like Farmer's Market, outdoor cafes, etc, this stroller is perfect if you have a quiet well-behaved dog who won't blow your cover. It's easy to fold and open, it's pretty light, and the big wheels make for an extremely smooth ride. The interior is large enough for two medium-sized Yorkies, maybe three small Yorkies. There's a basket underneath for toys or a leash, and two cupholders near the handlebar. The body of the carriage can unzip in two different places, the back and the front. Both of these areas are made of mesh. The bad thing is the mesh is quite see-thru, so I usually carry a blanket and throw it over the top of the stroller so no one can see I have a dog in there. The good thing is Otis can still see out though the back, the front bottom portion, and even through the little patch of mesh at the top. Otis can keep an eye on me from all angles. This stroller is amazing, but the portion of the stroller where the dog rests is really hard and kinda slippery. So to make it as comfortable as possible for Otis, I had to throw in my own cushion. Otis and I recommend this stroller for well-behaved Yorkies who cannot stand being apart from their owners, who like to be snuck into no-no places. It's a lot better than carrying your Yorkie in a bag because it saves wear and tear on your shoulder. The only people who really check you out are the mothers with human babies, who are probably only looking to size up your kid with theirs. Little do they know there's a dog in there. Otis and I recommend this stroller!! Here's where you can buy it: http://www.justpetstrollers.com/happ..._stroller.html A picture of Otis in his new Happy Trails Pet Stroller. |

| Wow! Sheila! That's a great price. I thought Junebug's price of $115 was good! I paid $139 but I just love it as well and I have had all three of mine in it. It is a godsend! I highly recommend it for anyone. |

| Hi, Kim. Yes, it really was a great price! I had been bidding on a few and kept getting outbid. The week of the 4th of July, a seller listed 10 @ $79.99 each, on a Buy It Now. Believe me, I bought it now! It's funny, I bought it with my tiny one in mind, because she tires when we walk, but my bigger 6.5# Sydney claimed it to nap in during the day. Go figure..... Sheila |

| Thanks Junebug. I have been wondering about that stroller. I can't really tell if its cheap-o on eBay or not. Now I'm definitely going to get it. P.S. Otis looks uber cute as always.

| I LOVE THIS STROLLER. Over the 4th I went to New Orleans and brought my little Chi, Abby. I was able to cart her around every airport and I gate checked it at every location. When I got off the plane, there it was! Recently we had a power outage and decided to take 3 of the dogs to the hotel with us. We put them all in (it holds up to 33 lbs) and it was so convenient. Be prepared though that when you take your baby out in this, you will get stopped by so many people because it is the cutest thing in the world. My hubby thought I was crazy when I bought it, but when we were in New Orleans and we were able to shop with it we could put all our purchases in the basket underneath. That made him happy. We ate on patios @ restaurants and Abby just sat on the other side of the gate. A pub actually let us in as long as she stayed in the stroller. The manufacturer is actually coming out with a 3 wheeler sometime this August or September. I already want to upgrade. Here is the link: http://www.dogmacatma.com/at3-stroller-p-1103.html BUY this stroller! Its AWESOME!!

Good luck. My boyfriend will have absolutely nothing to do with me if I bring Otis along with a stroller. He thinks it's so dumb. | |
