Amazon.com: Pink Plaid Flexible Handle Pet...

Made by Bestpet. I bought mine locally and paid $109 so the Amazon deal is pretty good.
My main reason that I love it is the flexible handle so she can see me. She tends to be a bit timid out in public so it helps her to see me.

I got a bestpet stroller on ebay and it is better then any of the ones I have had. The handle can switch to either side and it has at least four straps you can hook to harnesses of the doggies that you have in so you can leave it open (Callies favorite way to ride) It holds my 16 pound teapot and holds my moms 16 pound teapot at the same time with both having enough room.

Thanks to everyone who posted about their strollers..it was very helpful. My friend suggested that when i do decide which one i want...to print copies of it and post them everywhere in the house..including inside the fridge LoL. Maybe this year will be the year!!!!

I hear legs are good, my dog has some legs and he loves using those, when would you use a stroller? Just curious, because Teegy looooooooooooooooooves walking.
Would it not make more sense to get a carrier that you can strap to your body and carry them?

Some people want strollers to take your baby where they might not be welcome. Food places, inside malls, places like that!

Not all dogs are the same. I love to walk, unfortunately my dog doesn't. He can barely make it around the block without stopping and just sitting there til i pick him up. Plus there are other reasons why i would like a stroller. When taking him into stores like Petco, or Home Depot, he can sit right in his stroller and not pick up the germs that are on those carriages. Also, when taking him to fairs in the summer (which we go to alot) and dogs are welcomed, its easy for people to see a big dog and not step on his toes. But people tend not to see the little dogs in time and well, I'd like to keep the vet bills down.

There are a ton of other reasons i could name too.

When I go to pet expos I dont like Callie walking because I am afraid she will get stepped on plus she gets a little anxious when there are lots of people walking around her. Callie is also 16 pounds so even though I could carrie her in a carrier the stroller is better for my back.

I think it depends on what you are going to expect out of the stroller. I use ours for A LOT of things...... We needed something that would push easily on all types of terrain. Also something with bigger wheels for a smoother ride. We have the PetGear All terrain (ATV). It was a little pricier than others, but we use it for festivals, camping, Art in the Parks, and really like the fact that we never have problems pushing or stearing.
For a occasional trip to the mall, you probably could find something less expensive that will work.... but MANY of the strollers don't stear and push well on different surfaces.
