Senior Yorkie Talker | To Stroller or not to Stroller? So how highly do you guys recommend a stroller? I am really considering buying one. Like today! Our local pool doesnt allow pets, but i am thinking of buying the stroller, but i will only be using it every once in a while. Are they worth it? |

| I want to get one too. The only local place near me that sells them is Petsmart & they`re $100.00. I didn`t know if it would be worth the money or not, since pets aren`t allowed at many places around here!! |

| Although I do not use mine every day.. I always have it.. I take my babies to the vet in it.. easy to control.. if we go to a flea market or places i can take them it is so handy.. I feel safe for them when they are in their stroller.. going for walks is much safer also.. depending on the area you live.. I could not live without mine...anne |

| I don't use mine that often, but it is always in my trunk if the need arises!! I use mine at the vet, when shopping where furkids are allowed and on vacation it is invaluable for having them with you. Even at meet-ups, sometimes they get overwhelmed with lots of babies around and since they know their space, they are very comfortable in it. FYI - you can find them on Ebay Stores all the times with great prices!!!!!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I don't use it a lot but I am really glad I have it. I take them for walks (all 4) or if I go to a festival I can take them and keep them safe. I figure I will have it for a long time so it's worth it. I ordered online from a place I think was called Justpetstrollers.com andit was pretty reasonable and really fast service

| I was wanting one too but then my aunt had told me tht it prbly wouldnt be worth it because they wouldnt get the excersice but i dont know because if you would just use it at the pool then maybe it would be good but would they let your yorkie in even if it was in a stroller? And my opinion i dont think it would because you would spend all this money and then you wouldnt use it tht often but then again you could resell it i guess if you didnt think it was worth it after buying well good luck!

| We have one and use it ALL THE TIME!!! Especially when we travel and go to the campground. We like to do LONG walks and Shelby & Seymour are very content riding when they can't go the distance. It was VERY handy in Kansas City and is almost a necessity when you have two! My hubby first wasn't so sure about gettting one....... and now it is the first thing he asks...."Do we need to take the stroller?"

| Picture of our stroller...... ....just a suggestion........ if you get one, please consider WHERE YOU WOULD USE IT. We have a pet gear all-terrain stroller with the larger wheels. It works great when we are at the campground, especially on "off road" type terrain. Here is ia pic of it. 11859_530d3.jpg

| I purchased my off eBay and its great. We keep it in my trunk and it has turned into a travel crate of sorts. When we go to my moms, I'll take it in there and put Jamie in there to nap if I can't watch him and I'm helping her with a project. Its also so so helpful when we go out of town. I don't do it alot but if we're on a trip and want to go somewhere that isn't necessarily pet friendly we cover his stroller with a blanket and people think its a sleeping baby.

| I saw such a cute one in a local botique a few weeks ago. It's the Petzip Monogram Pet Jogger It's a bit on the expensive side, but I saw it listed last week on ebay....but they sold out before I could get one. I emailed the seller and they are getting some more by the end of the month! I'm so excited, because with shipping and everything, it will only cost me about $145 which is so much cheaper than everwhere else I've seen them listed. lol PS: I used to laugh at the people with pet strollers....but now that i have 2, it's more of a necesity....guess I'll be the one people are laughing at now.
