| LOL one final note....I always buy with zippers because they can get out of the ones with velcro and if you don't notice, could fall out and get hurt. Again, my opinion. On the stroller I posted, the zippers always work just fine. Cheap...but have used them for many years.....MANY LOL. I have replaced them but only because they got faded.

| I've been intrigued by, but worried about longevity of the tires, too. It can get really hot in AZ (shouldn't surprise anyone). |

| I didn’t notice it to be less bumpy or the ones I have now to be more bumpy. The one I have now is amazing and smooth. I don’t really go off reading though lol.

| Well, thank you all for the suggestions! I now have all the important features to consider. As you said, it is best to go and check in the store I guess and then would most probably purchase the model online because they are usually much cheaper. |

| I don't have a stroller but did a lot of researching and reading because I want one. What I read about 3 wheels is they tend to tip over sideways, IDK if it was because of a heavier dog or an active one, so a 3 wheel is out of the question for me because when my kido who is 12 Lbs. sees another dog he gets kinda crazy and could tip over a 3 wheeler. I would prefer 4 wheels that are inflatable for a smoother ride, now reading about getting a flat, something that never entered my mind lol, now will be looking for solid tires with shocks. I would not buy on line unless I have seen it in person and checked everything out for safety.

| My concern on a 3 wheeler is because when Cody sees another dog he gets crazy, he may bounce around in it and cause it to tip, I like the 3 wheels for mobility, easy maneuvering. I really do not know how he will react in a stroller if he sees another dog, only know what his reactions are when in a shopping cart in the baby seat or walking on leash.

If you are able to view an array of strollers, suspect you'll easily spot the differences in engineering. I'm sure there are three-wheelers less stable than four-wheelers, but I know from experience the reverse is also true. I've been on the hunt for a while now. Before introducing a new little-one, we plan to replace the stroller kept at my sister-in-law's home. I have not decided whether we'll take Katy's red-rider (red PetGear) over there and buy a new stroller for our place. I also want the stroller at their place easy to pop in the back of my car. Another note ... Katy loved, loved, loved her stroller. Remembering the good times we had with that stroller brings a smile to my face. There she was able to look all those big dogs squarely in the face--becoming the lion-sized dog she always knew she was. | |

| Lots of good and bad experiences with strollers. Guess it all comes down to what works for your and your baby(ies). Seems to end up being a personal preference. Do like the idea of going to a store where you can actually try one out before buying. |

| I think it all boils down to what you want to do with the stroller. For me, the cheap one is just fine...it is the roomiest I could find where I could take up to 4 or 5 pups at a time and it maneuvered well on the surfaces where I took the stroller. I had no plans to take it on the beach or hiking. That brings up something else.....I would not buy one with inflatable tires if it was for hiking because you could end up in the woods somewhere with a flat tire and have to drag that thing back home. So.....just think long and hard about what you need before deciding is my advice. There are also MANY threads on here if you search for pet strollers and you might find more helpful hints.
