| Help picking a stroller I have been leaning towards 2 by Pet Gear (the Pet Gear NV jogger and the Special Edition No Zip) but also considering these: New Flexible Handle Large Black Beige Blue Pink Pet Dog Cat Stroller Carrier | eBay Fashion Flower 4 Wheels Pet Dog Cat Stroller w Raincover | eBay I'm a bit hesitant to order off of ebay without seeing the stroller in person, but the prices are good. I have 3 dogs who might be using this although I doubt my papillon would be in it bc she is GO GO GO lol |

| I have this stroller, it looks like it's the same as the flower one New Large 4 Wheels Pet Dog Cat Stroller 18 Color Choices with Free Rain Cover | eBay It suits my needs perfectly, I'm mostly on smooth pavement or in stores with it. If you're going to run with it or be on rough gravel a lot you might want a better one. A local store sells pet gear and gen7 strollers for much more, I think mine is as good or better. My only complain is it doesn't have any tethers. I made one with a leash, I only use it if I have the stroller open, if it's zipped shut I just leave her leash on. How big are your dogs? Lola is 7lbs and I could fit 2 of her in it, 3 of her would fit but wouldn't be very comfortable. A lot of people on here have this stroller, some have had issues but people seem happy with it for the most part. The reversible handle is nice, but I don't think I'd bother spending the extra money on it, the cheaper one has a mesh screen on the back so you and your dogs can see each other. |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | If I was you and you were potentially putting in 3 pups in it. I would only go with the Pet Gear. The Pet Gear NV jogger and the Special Edition No Zip are much sturdier and the air filled tires go over curbs, uneven ground and even snow. I like the the Special Edition No Zip the best out of the 4. This was not out yet when I got mine. The NV was just coming out. They did not know when it was coming out. But either one of the pet gear is worth it.

| The NV gets my vote. It is also a "No Zip". I especially like the larger tires they hold air rather than the hard plastic tires. Will make the ride much nicer for your babies along with ease for you. I have been looking at Pet Gear for a while now and had originally thought i would go with the AT3 All-Terrain but I like the new NV better now that they have come out with it. I like the window view better so that they have a better view and I like the No Zip better. So the NV gets my vote and will get my money. |

| I have the 1st one you linked & LOVE it! Mine is a pink plaid design, kinda like a girly wannabe Burberry color. It came w/4 tethers, cup holder & it was very important that the front part (the frame) was solid so they can put their front paws on it & look out (bc that's what they do on their car seat). I also like that it has a flexible handle when I need to supervise them for whatever reason. I never took it outside yet, so can't tell you how it runs, but indoors, it was nice. I plan to use it when they get old loll! I got it from ebay, from the same seller you linked, very fast shipping.

| I have the Pet Gear Special Edition, but the zip kind. I liked it so much I bought a second one to keep in my car at all times, so I'm never out without it. I like the look of the no zip closure. Mine zips easily, but it does take both hands to do so.

| thanks everyone! Since I need the stroller for outdoors only, I may get the Pet Gear NV (for the park, on grass/dirt etc) and the Pet Gear special edition (for walking around town). Wish I could feel like one stroller would fit all my needs, but I did have like 6 different baby strollers lol |

| I have the first one in pink. I love it. If you get the zip kind, make sure you latch it some how if it doesn't come with a latch/hook. Allie figured out how to get her nose in the little space under the zipper and figured out how to unzip it. On a boat. In the ocean. She jumped in. They had to rescue her........ I didn't have her tethered in, because I wanted her to be able to move around since we were sight seeing and taking a dolphin cruise/tour. I now tether her, as well as putting a hook on the zipper zip that latches to the frame. Ps I can't swim, but I was about to jump into the ocean to rescue my dog!

| oh my goodness! She sounds like my first yorkie. We went kayaking and she took a huge jump off and sunk like a rock....thank God she had a leash on and we could pull her back up. After that incident, she swam like a pro though! Quote:

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | I just got the reversible handle stroller last fall when I added a 3rd Yorkie - absolutely love it! I have the smaller leopard print stroller & use it too, but this one with the reversible handle is my all time favorite - I can see them & they can see me better -LOVE!!
