My vote would be for the last one (AT3). That's the one I wanted to get but due to finances, it's going to have to wait.

I did the research on the strollers, and the AT3 is the one with the biggest interior, so it'll be good if you plan on getting more dogs. 3 big wheels is also better than 4 little ones if you ever need to stroll it off the trails through a park.

I'm a firm believer to always buy the best you can afford so you won't have to upgrade later.

Erin 12-19-2007 07:55 AM
The AT3 is very heavy. It's really nice though! My friend has one. I think has real tires not plastic tires.

I have a Special Edition but I haven't used it yet. Both of mine (6 & 12 lbs) fit in it. It's nice! I don't plan on needing an all terrain stroller so I got the less expensive one.

I have the second one. The Jeep Wrangler. I love it!!!

I first had the pink Happy Trails but the wheels were too small when you pushed it on uneven payment it shook and stuff. Didn't like it at all.

Then I got the Jeep In Sandstone and its so much better, with bigger wheels.

That would be my vote! I am also getting the Jeep Playpen to match after Christmas!! Can't Wait!! :D

I am thinking about this stroller but not sure of the size...I have a convertible so my trunk is smaller than most. Is it bulky?

BauersMommy 12-19-2007 01:04 PM
I'm a little confused about strollers, maybe you can help me. Why do you need a stroller? Dogs need excercise . . . shouldn't they be walking?

In most circumstances yes, my dogs prefer to walk. But I've taken my dogs on vacation and when you're in crowded areas a stroller can keep them safe, contained and discreet. Also, walking multiple dogs in a crowd is not easy. With just one dog, you could hold them or put them in a carrier. Some people on here have multiple dogs and it's easier to contain them all in a stroller. No one is suggesting you push your dog in a stroller around your neighborhood rather than walk him. :D

ItsyBitsy 12-19-2007 01:18 PM
Strollers are great if you want to bring your dog to a street fair or the mall. In Toronto, we have Woofstock and it gets really crowded. For the times you don't want your dog to get stepped on, or if she's tired from walking, she can ride in the stroller for a break.

Also, strollers are great for elderly pets. If you go a for a long walk and your baby decides shes tired, she can ride in the stroller for a bit.

I was actually planning on getting a stroller for my kitties more than anything. My cats are indoor cats and I figured this way they can come on walks with Bitsy and me and get some fresh air, :D

yorkiegirl83 12-19-2007 01:37 PM
I just wanted to add w/the Rubicon (3 wheel), the front wheel is stationary as it is a jogging stroller so it doesn't manuever perfectly... it takes a tiny bit of work.

Still though it is so nice and spacious.. I can fit all 4 furbabies in it :)

Happy Trails
 
:thumbup: We have the Happy Trails pink and it holds all 3 of my girls (3, 5 and 8 lbs.) They have plenty of room in there. We prefer the 4 wheels as the 3 wheelers can tip over easier. We like the sturdiness of the 4 wheels. It is nice to be able to take them places when it is crowded and have them all in one spot safe and sound.
it does come in royal blue too. :D
Good luck in your search. I am sure any of them would be just fine.

LunasMomma 12-19-2007 06:21 PM
Here is the one we got, it's wheels are bigger than the others and the price was right;)

I wonder why they only make it in PINK???? I think I will write the company...I mean, seriously!!

Kristin...may I ask...why you preferred the 4 wheels? It seems a lot of people do, but then I hear so many that love the bigger three wheel one.

I am looking for something that I can use anytime/anywhere.....basically, I really need to get one for the YT meet up...and we do so many swap meets, out door markets, camping, etc. It would be nice to have one that I could take and use anywhere we needed to.

GRANTED....my two love to walk and be out and about....I just need one for those times that one is needed.

I have a big SUV so I have room in the back...but I still want one that is easy to fold open and closed and easy to pack.

Thanks for all the ideas and help so far!!! :hug:

We choose the 4 wheel for stability and handling reasons mostly......I think the 3 wheel versus 4 wheel is more personal preference......they just drive and handle a little different.

Joyce
It held the 2 girls (4 1/2 pds and 8 pds) and then our Silky best when he was little....now that he is full grown it is a tight fit.....but the issue is mostly that our little Magic does not prefer to be that close to anyone.....so with all 3 she gets very whiny and wants out. But if your 3 did not mind sitting/sleeping with each other....then there is room.

Yes.....we have our 3 and one that I am handling for my breeder with us right now. Our two males are both intact....and do not get along especially around the girls.....so we do not ride them together.

Once we got 3, we really do not take them all with us at one time...unless we are going to a show or traveling and then the boys (silkies) travel in their crates. Often at dog shows they do not allow strollers....so we can not normally use it to take the girls with us to shows....so we normally leave the yorkie girls home on show days.

For us life changed with every pup we added.....with Magic only she went everywhere with us....then we added Sailor and still took them out alot and when we were sewing and doing craft/trade shows - both girls went out with us all the time. But once we go Captain it is much harder to take all three....and then when Frankie came to our house in October and made four....things changed more.....and the dogs usually only get out with us for a car ride or to travel for the dog shows.

I have that first one, and I got it from Petsmart on sale for $89. Its a great stroller! Also, there is a coupon right now for $5/$20 at petsmart, and they let me use 4 of them on that stroller.

Can someone help me decide which seems to be the best???

I am looking for something that is kind of "all terrain" for gravel, grass, etc.
Easy to haul around, fold up and store, easy to manuever, storage and parent tray.

These are posted in the order I like them......

PLEASE HELP :hug: What do you think????

Happy Trails PLUS Pet Stroller!
The only down side, I can't find any other color besides PINK!
If I could find another color, I think this would be the one I would get!
Here is the reviews and description:
http://www.justpetstrollers.com/happ..._stroller.html
I have this one in blue. Got it from Petsmart. I like it and it works fine for just one furbaby. I'm tall and when I push this stroller I tend to hunch over and this gets uncomfortable after a while. Its pretty light and easy to store in the car...plenty of room on the bottom to store stuff.

Pet Gear Special Edition Pet Stroller
I love the colors and stuff on this one...and I think this is my 2nd choice..but it has a three wheel style w/ smaller wheels....didn't know if this would do good on gravel or not.

AT3 All Terrain Pet Stroller
This looks like it could go almost anywhere....wonder how will three big wheels would do?
Here are the reviews and descriptions:
http://www.justpetstrollers.com/AT3_..._stroller.html
I also have this All Terrain stroller. I bought this for both Chloe and Bella to ride in together. It's larger than the Happy Trails one I have. The ride is smoother and the height suits me. I'm not hunched over pushing this around. I like all the storage it has also. It is a little bulkier than the Happy Trails but folds easy. It is large enough I think I could put another dog in with Chloe (11 lbs) and Bella( 4-5 lbs).

Lori I am so happy to hear you say all three fit great in yours, we also have one like it and love it, however having the three now, I was wondering about the last one there the three wheel all terrain.
By the way Lori saw the picture of your new 4 wheels, VERY PRETTY :)

I have a question...Someone said they have a rain cover for the 4th one, what about the other ones? Does the happy trails have a clear rain vinyl cover? And a lot of storage room?

The Happy Trails stroller that I have did not come with a clear rain cover. As far as storage it has a little basket on the bottom that I usually put treats, water, harnesses and small shopping bags in.

I know I mentioned something regarding this in some of my postings and I think everyone has pretty much posted the pros of owning a pet stroller.

We do a lot of car shows, swap meets, races, outdoor shopping events (garden markets, arts/crafts, etc). So I see where I dog stroller would come in VERY handy in some of these circumstances.

Mojo loves to be out in the public eye...where as LillyGrace likes to be carried or in a comfy carrier. So, much like when my daughter was little....I figured, the stroller will be pushed "empty" more often than not or used to carry goodies we have bought! :rolleyes:

But, at meet ups, races, car shows, etc....I also think one will be good to have when we are sitting for a long period (the dogs can be laying on their cooling mat in the shade of the stroller canopy)...were they are out of the sun and heat, safe and secure! :thumbup:

:congrats: on another addition!!! :hug:

I know that just with us adding LilyGrace, it makes travelling a little more "different"...not really difficult, just different. With Mojo...he is so laid back and that was all he knew...travelling, on the go, etc. He is such a good boy, so easy to handle etc.
Lily came to us at 2 1/2 years.......and she is NOT use to travelling, etc. She is a barker too! BUT we love her sooo very much and are working w/ her!

Thanks for that......but when I looked at PetsMart, they only had the original Happy Trails (that comes in pink or blue). The one I am wanted (and posted) is the newest Happy Trails...it is the PLUS addition....I am not sure all the differences between the original ones and this PLUS one though. I do know, that I have only found the "PLUS" addition in pink!

I do not think the original Happy Trails came w/ a rain/wind cover. :scratchhe
OR I didn't notice one when I checked them out at PetsMart.

The one I posted (link below) is the NEW "PLUS" Happy Trails and it comes w/ a wind/rain cover.
