the stroller sounds great in theory, but in practice, it won't work for me, primarily b/c the stroller weighs more than the dog!!! i won't be carrying the furbaby on walks (i think dogs should actually walk), but in dog-friendly places where you will not see dogs typically walking around inside....
i don't disagree with you that 7lbs is a great and standard size ... it just won't work for ME ... and i can't blame a littler one for coming with health issues no more than it can blame me for coming with them
