The stroller sounds like a great idea. It sounds from your description of her personality that she should do fine, just try your best to minimize the excitable times as much as possible.
And, occassionally a dog will slip/fall during recovery with no harm done, sometimes miraculously, and others may not be so lucky. Prevention is always the best medicine.... and, yes, I would be highly over-protective the first few weeks.
Maybe if she starts to get restless, taking her for a walk in the stroller might be good. Peek a Boo loves it. I thought he'd be jumping around wanting to get out every 5 minutes, but, to my surprise, he sat and rolled along like a King... very funny, but he really enjoyed just being pushed along. He looked around and sniffed the air alot, and appeared super content.
