For those of you that have them, what reactions have you encountered out in public?

In my case reactions have been mostly positive A couple of rude, jealous people which are really not worth the time, but on average pretty good

The stroller is the best investment I've ever done for my little ones and for my back . When there are too many people walking in crowded places, a stroller is the safest place for the babies.

Also, when the walking gets long and the fur-kids are tired, when the cement floor is too hot/cold, when there are bigger dogs around, etc., it's a great retreat for them.

I'm looking for a bigger one because my little girl doesn't want to share her stroller with her brother she always sends my little boy to the back and tries to make herself bigger than she really is to take all the space

there are pics in my profile if you want to see and you can pm me with any questions you may have.

I'm going to PM you. Need to know how you did that I tried to modify a human-baby (twin ) stroller and I failed miserably .

I love mine. We have multiples and I really enjoy mine. It really helps out. The remarks in public are not important just enjoy yourself and your dogs how you would like.

I love the color of your stroller . I'm looking to buy one but I'm worried about how big they are when folded up. I'm thinking the 3 wheel variety would have better handling, but they seem larger. It has to easily fit in the trunk of a 2003 Ford Mustang...which is pretty small.

The strollers fold down small enough to fit in even a pretty small trunk- I only find them to take up a lot of room around the house. But taking it around in your car shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Thanks for all your responses and pictures. I think I'm gonna go for it.
Here's one I like and I think the price is good. Is 39.99 a good deal?

Looks cute & has good reviews . Be sure to post pics & let us know what you think of it when you get it.

Can't tell you from experience, but you might want to consider the 4-wheel version for extra stability. I have read others who wished they had gotten the 4-wheel vice the 3-wheel. Unless the wheels are more like the jogging strollers, I think the 4-wheel gets the best votes. I have just pushed them around in the store, but it seemed the 4-wheel felt the sturdiest.

My dad was pushing mine thats pink with Callie and Sammy in it and he said this guy kept looking at him and he finally said something joking to him and the guy said it takes a real man to push a pink stroller that made my dad wanna push it more i think lol

Thanks When I bought it they only had this and a hot pink color. Worried that my HB wouldn't want to push a pink stroller around, I chose this one Besides, I always knew that I couldn't have just one baby and I wasn't sure of the sex of my second, so I went with a non-girly stroller

I have a Celica, the trunk is fair sized but the mouth of it is narrow. My stroller fits fine in it and I can open it, close it, pick it up and put it in the trunk with one hand It handles very well in grass, rocky or asphalt areas...not bad. The only problem is that Nicky can't sit up front because Nini takes all the space. If it were a bit wider for him, I would be a very happy mom

The other one is an entirely different thing It's a three wheel, twin, human baby stroller that I've only used one time. I can't handle it by myself. It's bulky, heavy and doesn't fit in narrow places, including the trunk But it does handles nicely

There's lots of eye rolling and laughing and exclamations If I get a chance to tell people she's paralyzed they don't say any more, but it bothers me sometimes how much people judge us for it My boyfriend doesn't care though. He'll wheel her around in her pink stroller anytime, totally oblivious to the comments!

Nini and Nicky send your boyfriend many wet kisses

Before you do, go to Youtube and type 'dog strollers' You'll see some being demonstrated, that way you can get a feel as to how they handle, how sturdy, etc.

Usually I get more of a reaction to how cute they are than the fact that they are in a stroller. I have encountered one or two snide comments that were mumbled for me not to hear, but I have great hearing.

One time, I was waiting by the front doors of a store while my sister was paying for her items and she overheard the ladies behind her saying something smart about me up front. She turned around and said that my dogs were better behaved than the kids that were in the store who happened to be screaming bloody murder. lol
