They are having thier items made cheaper overseas thus they sell it for cheaper. So you arent being ripped off by the mom and pops boutique because trust me they paid a alot more for that stroller and cant sell it for anyless than $200 if it is indeed a kittywalk stroller(which I am just guessing that it is), the wholesale catalogs are ripping off other peoples designs.

I was wondering if it was something like that. I went through that when trying to decide on paying for the Pet Gear stroller vs a similar looking one for half the price on Ebay. I decided to go with Pet Gear after reading some comments from people here on YT that purchased the cheaper one.
I wanted to know the stroller would last!

I found the kittywalk stroller online for only $130... it's still a lot cheaper than $200 and judging from the site, I'm assuming it's not a knock off. I guess some websites make enough money that they can afford to sell stuff cheaper? (JMO... but the knock off from Foster and Smith looks cuter than the original. lol)

Yes, mine is the kittywalk stroller.

The thing is, this is where I get Lillie and baby groomed, and there very nice people. I really like taking the girls there, so I'm going to eat the $100, I got a great stroller from real nice people, and thats all that matters!

Which kittywalk stroller did you find? They manufacture several styles, which retail prices range from $100-$600. Kittywalks are nice strollers and yes the stroller from Foster and smith is cute too, Im not saying its bad to buy it by any means. Im just explaining why one store may charge a certain price and why others may have a cheaper but very similar version. I was hoping my post/explanation would help cheer Melissa up about her stroller

I've noticed that a lot of these boutique places buy things and jack the price up 50% or more! When I bought Baby's doggy house, I got it on eBay for $39.95! Online some places had the same thing for over $200. Sorry you feel you got ripped.

I dont sell kittywalk but I do have thier wholesale/retail price list and the 5th avenue retails for $200, I just looked it up. Actually they require thier retailers to list it for at least $200.

That's an "original kitty walk stroller". Meaning it was thier first design and actually hard to come by now. BUt that prices is actually a little high for that particular design. Ive seen it a little less, but not much.

It sucks finding something that you just paid a lot of money for cheaper somewhere else. I guess it pays to do a bit of a search to make sure you get the best deal out there. At least you like the people that you got it from
