How does the zipper work on the two Gen7Pets ones? That is the one thing that would worry me. I like the clip closure of the Petgear SOOO much better than any zipper stroller I've seen.
Zippers close smoothly. However, I alternate strollers. So none of them gets heavy use. Possibly, with heavy use, zipper closure could be a problem. However, we have not experienced any sticking,

My little girl Runtu has had a stroller since we were blessed with her. We bring her every where with us in it. We go to Lowe’s, Superwalmart, Dentist and doctor visits. Especially down to the VA and all the nurses and secretaries love her and it does keep her safe. I have PetGear just like those pictures above. Runtu just loves her safe little haven. We hike with her and this cart because the wheels work so well, when her little legs get tired we can continue our hike and put her in her cart and she rests….it is a brilliant piece of equipment for our Runtu.

Lol yeah we got remarks too but I don’t care. If this helps me be with her and have her experience as much life as she can that’s all I need. Yours are so adorable and they fit perfect together, great exercise too.
Also your pups have the best faces. Runtu does have some wild eyebrows when her hair grows..,should have named her Groucho Marks.

My daughters want one so bad for Charlie, and I am also on the fence about him in a stroller.... but now seeing all yalls pics amd them being chill it seems like a great idea!
No regrets here. Beny is 12 weeks old. If I had not ordered the stroller, we would not have been able to meet with cousins visiting from Canada for a leisurely dinner outdoors by the water. (We live in South Florida). He is too young to leave alone. Beny enjoyed the outing and even slept while we ate when he had had enough. Here he is while we waited (for an hour) for a table - “Spring Break crowds!”

We joined The ranks of what we thought were silly dog owners too. We got the backpack first, so we could take Milo (1 yr old) with us when we go places. We needed him to learn to be comfortable in the car. Our older Hav, Cooper (age 13) is scared to death of the car. We live half the year in San Diego, California, and the other half in a rural area near Gig Harbor, Washington. When Cooper was a puppy, the long drives back and forth were a nightmare, with over 12 hours of shaking, whining, and drooling. Now, we have resorted to keeping Cooper drugged for every drive. We didn’t want that for Milo. The backpack is easy to take along with us, and Milo feels safe while experiencing new places.

About 6 months ago, we added the stroller. We love it! Cooper is blind and has copd. The stroller allows us all to go for long walks! When Cooper tires out and starts to cough, we can pop him in the stroller instead of struggling to carry him. If we encounter a scary dog while walking on a rural road, both boys get popped safely into the stroller. And, when we are traveling, we can stop for dinner instead of eating in the car. Turns out we used to be the silly people in not recognizing the value of doggy strollers!

I agree… that my ideas about lots of things have changed as I got older/wiser! What stroller brand do you recommend? (Bolt is also 13 with heart problems and I had stopped taking him on longer walks… but he could come along in a stroller!👍)

I bought the Happy Trails No Zip Pet Stroller from Amazon. There is a Lite version (for small dogs up to 15 lbs) and also a jogger version which several people on this forum have. I bought the one that can handle 30 lbs because it takes less room in the trunk than the jogging one and could probably fit 2 Havs if we get another one.

I live in an urban area and will rarely venture off the pavement. Thus far have been very happy with it. I struggled closing it when I first used it but it was totally my fault for not reading the instructions carefully (have to twist forward on the handle mechanism). It opens and closes very easily.
Hope this helps!

PS - Last night we went to the Everglades NP for a Dark Skies presentation. I am “updating” that the Pet Gear Happy Trails No Zip stroller rolled very well on the uneven, sort of grassy field we had to cross to get to the lecture. I have no doubt that “jogging” air filled tires would have provided a “smoother” ride, but this one maneuvered well off the pavement and Beny was quite content. So no regrets and will keep it.
