Online....not sure if price in store, but I would think so?? Also, you can find coupons for Petsmart by googling. I did find one for $10 off $60.
Decided to take another look @mine. It has a window @back too that I forgot about. Folds really easily! Padded handlebar!
Now, I must admit.......I've order the Pet Gear playpen from Petsmart online. It came very quickly! At the time, I was able to google & find coupon for $ off AND another one for free shipping!! Loved that!!
Now that I've ADMITTED to owning all these things for Bella, YES!!!!! She's SPOILED rotten & I am obsessed with LOVING her!! haha!!
AND I KNOW YOU CAN RELATE WITH ALL THE LOV'N AND SPOIL'N LITTLE MISS TATE AND STEDDY GET!!

Thank you so much girl.....you are the best! I appreciate all of your help SO MUCH!!

And LOL...I had to laugh about Bella....she sounds JUST as spoiled as my two little munchkins are! Geez...they have just about everything under the sun....except a stroller...which they will now be getting LITTLE STINKERS!!

The photos of the stroller you posted with this post.... well, it looks VERY similar to Amelia's stroller...

Well if it's anything like Amelia's stroller in the way it handles as well as looks then it should be ideal. It moves easily, it's lightweight and steers really well. I can spin mine pretty much on the spot because of the 3wheels and it's much better than my friends 4wheeled ones I've pushed in the past.

I know I can't really compare Amelia's stroller to one for a dog but I'm offereing my opinion and advice on 3 wheeled ones.

You're hubby is absolutely a sweetheart. Tatum is very lucky to have such a great daddy.

Give Tator Tot a little kiss from us all over here and make sure you take some time out for yourself over the weekend.

Awww thanks so much Vicky, you are such a doll as always! Your stroller looks so nice! I love it! It does look similar to the 3 wheeled doggie strollers! I still haven't decided yet for sure if I am going to get a 3 wheeled one, or a 4 wheeled one...but my hubby says he would prefer me to get one with 4 wheels, because he thinks that they would be more sturdy for the babies. I have no idea!?!??? I am so confused! LOL. I am going to wait and hear a review from someone on here that bought one off eBay...they are supposed to be getting it in today and I want to see how they like theirs first (they got a 4 wheeled one) I'll post and let everyone know which one I decide on. Thanks again for all of your help girl...and I will give Tator kisses for you! She says thank you for checking in on her by the way!

Haha, thanks for putting in your 2 cents girl! BUT...hubby already returned the stroller this morning. lol. Actually, it wasn't really so much that the stroller was RED....it's just that this stroller was so "basic" and simple....and it was $100 + tax...and on eBay I can get one for about $48 with free shipping and pick the color I want So, I'll be saving money AND getting more of a stroller...it's just better in the long run Hubby didn't mind at all and he knew that I was SO very appreciative of his sweet gesture He actually said that HE wanted to return it and get one off eBay, cause we'll be getting a better stroller....for less

I'm so glad to hear that little Tatum is doing well. You're such a good mommy and your DH is such a sweetie.

Thanks so much girl! She is doing GREAT! I think I *MAY* end up going with a 4 wheeled one

Oh, and I like the little window on top, too!

Ahhhhhh! Well heck, I don't know which one to get! I am so confused LOL! Some people say they like the 4 wheeled ones better, while others prefer the 3 wheeled ones. I guess in the end I am just going to have to decide and just pick one and be done with it!

Thanks for your review girl...you're the best!

Also, I would get a color that is not girly, so Steadman can retain his studliness while riding in it. And, your sweet-as-can-be hubbie won't feel so silly pushing it around. Just my opinion.

Snoopy's Mom thought that maybe you should keep the one he got you. That may be good advice!

Ok, well...I just replied to Snoopy's Mom....the stroller already went back this morning. Hubby agreed that it needed to go back as we can get a better stroller for less $$ on eBay

I will check Overstock - thanks for the suggestion girl!

LOL!!! I had to laugh at the "retain his studliness" comment, HAHAHA!! I am *NOT* going to get a pink one #1 because of Stedman, and #2 because I know my hubby WILL NOT want to push a pink stroller around town, ROFL! I didn't even think about the pink thing and my hubby pushing the stroller until last night...and that is when I started looking at different ones (I will post pictures in a sec)

Thanks for all your help girl!

Thank you SO MUCH Ann for suggesting this - you're awesome girl! I just couldn't keep feeding her chicken, chicken, chicken all day every day...ugh. I got out my food processor and ground up her kibble really fine (almost powder like) and mixed it in with the mashed potatoes and she gobbled almost all of it up Of course she shared a little bit with her brother too I also added in a little Salmon Oil because it really does help with her skin issues and she hasn't been getting any lately...so I will try to sneak that into something that she eats daily.

Thank you all again for all of your wonderful suggestions....you guys rock!

Just catching up on the thread, BUT YAYYYYYYY! And you're so welcome. Sometimes I think these little stinkers just need a good dose of carbs to help stim their appetite and get them back on track . I'm so happy to hear this.

Now, on to the stroller talk!!

And of course, Marcel sends all his wub to his Tatum.

[stedmansmommy]

Ok guys...I will no longer be getting a pink stroller. I don't think that Stedman will appreciate riding in one that color, and I KNOW my hubby will not appreciate pushing one that color (actually, he will probably REFUSE )....so pink is a no go for us lol.

I was looking on eBay again last night and found some different ones. I really love the green colored one that I found. I think the shade of green is so pretty! Also though, I found a Leopard one and a Zebra one that I REALLY, REALLY love as well! Even way more than the pink! So...I may end up going with one of the animal print ones. I think that Leopard will be ok for Stedman too So, now I have it narrowed down to the Green, Leopard or Zebra one....just not sure witch yet. And still not sure if I am going to go with a 3 wheel or 4 wheel I think I will let hubby make the decision on that one

Here are the pics!

[stedmansmommy]

Here are the Leopard ones

[stedmansmommy]

Hmmm....the more I look at the pictures, the more I am really LOVING that 4 wheeled Zebra one! I usually always love anything Leopard...but that Zebra one is just calling my name!

The green is pretty too though...ugh! I'm just plain confused and can't make up my mind as usual!

[Trixter]

What a difference a week makes!
Been following your thread, and am glad to hear Tatum is progressing nicely.
Have no idea about strollers, but is there somewhere that rates them on the web? They used to do it for skinbaby strollers.
Maybe this should be the YT poll of the week. I vote Zebra, But the green is pretty. I can see where you're having trouble deciding!
Have a great Weekend!

[Wylie's Mom]

I would say green, IF the green was more "olive" - otherwise, I like the leopard.
