I would buy it again.
I have had the stroller for a couple of months now, and I would absolutely buy it again. I think it was worth the price.I purchased the stroller for my arthritic 70 lb pit mix, 14 year old girl. I was afraid she wouldn't fit, but she fits fine. Sometimes her head or tail sticks out, if she isn't laying on her side. Because the flaps open, its no big deal to have parts poking out. It was relatively easy to pop up into what its supposed to be. My husband dreaded this project when I told him what I bought. But, I was able to do most of it myself, just by moving the parts, it was for the most part self explanatory and made sense without looking at any directions. BTW, i'm not really mechanically inclined. My husband helped out at the end, and it didn't take long. They give you the tool you need to put it together.The good:The stroller feels secure, the wheels move very easily and I can push it on a flat surface with my dog inside using one finger. It wants to roll. Its pretty easy to maneuver around corners because of that front swivel wheel. You can zip the windows, or they Velcro up and out of your way. My girl was scared of it at first, but now she really seems to enjoy it. I was apprehensive about buying it, because I was afraid she would not want to get in it. But, after her sister/companion passed, I wanted a way to spend productive time with her. She has always loved walks, but she can't walk far due to her arthritis. And she has a difficult time walking at night if she even went on a short walk during the day.The not so bad, not too big of a deal:The base of the bed sits 10 1/2 inches from the ground, and the lip of the fabric is about 13 1/2 inches from the ground. Of course you can pull the lip of the fabric down, but there is a square piece of metal (I assume so that you can put the bike attachment on) in the middle of the entryway. The metal is about the middle of the entryway and is about 3 inches tall. So, its just a little obstacle when dealing with a old fat arthritic dog (I say that lovingling mind you) trying to get in. There is a little plastic knob that goes on it so I don't fear her hurting herself, but it is a little bit of an obstacle.Because my dog is heavy and has arthritis, she doesn't walk much, so her nails grow long. We take her to the vet to clip them, but the little veins grow so far into the nail, they can't get them very short. So I don't know if its a mix of her nails and the arthritis, but she uses care when walking, and even avoids walking on slick surfaces such as linoleum and tile. I usually stick 1-2 dog beds in front of the opening, so she can walk onto the bed, and be able to take the step up to walk into the stroller. The base of the stroller isn't very solid, and has a plastic type base, but it isn't thick plastic, so it gives a little. There is a metal bar attachment under the stroller base, that comes off to use for a bike, and with the dogs weight not he plastic, it kind of makes the base not sit flat. And with her long nails and aversion to slipping she does seem to have a little difficulty initially getting comfortable. But after lining the base with another blanket (I may get a firm piece of carpet) it works better.As for it being a safety hazard, my girl is 70 lbs. I hold the handle while she gets in and distributes her weight. If her bottom is sitting at the edge of the opening, and she shifts her weight all of the way to the back, yea its gonna tip backward. But, she is only doing this when she is getting in and getting out. Frankly, I wouldn't want them to set the wheels back any further, because I wouldn't want to hit them with my feet as I walk. And its just not comfortable for her to sit in that opening, her inclination is to go further in and its fine. I park it in my den, and I came home one day and saw that it was tipped over, like she tried to get in it when I was gone, but because I wasn't holding it it so tipped (it can't just tip on its own). But, its light and there is still enough weight int he front that I'm sure it didn't come down with much force. I didn't see any injuries on my dog, and she was not scared of it for our next walk. I was actually glad that it seems that she wanted to go in, instead of feeling like she was just humoring me when I could tell her to get in.The stroller has worked out better than expected, and has allowed me to spend more time with my dog, doing something that I believe gives her more quality of life. A few crazy comments from passing walkers (and my husband) lol.I would buy this again. If a type of ramp was suggested for sale with this too, Id probably buy that to make entry/exit easier for a dog of her size and medical problems.

Well made stroller fits our 46lb dog
I just received this stroller a couple of days ago and it works great for our 15 year old mix breed. She’s about 46lbs & it is perfect for her to lay down in. It could probably accommodate a dog into the 50ish pound range, but might be a tight squeeze above that unless they sit up the entire time. I don’t think I’ll be using this as a bike trailer, but it seems well made for that purpose. The bike attachment is folded underneath the stroller. It is a bit challenging to get my older dog into the stroller. It’s a little higher than she can get into on her own so she has to be lifted in & out.Our girl has cancer & is already on borrowed time. I’m grateful to be able to get her out on some adventures for whatever time we have left. She seems happy to be along for the ride! We’ve only had this a short time, but I would buy it again. I’ll update if we have any issues as time goes on.Pros:-Shipped to Alaska which is hard to find for bigger items-Well made & seems very sturdy-smooth ride-I bought the bag that straps onto the handle bars for water & other items. That is also well made & roomy-Perfect for 46lb dog to lay down in-other than crossbar, it was easy to assemble (fyi- you will need to put air in tires)Cons:-the first step in assembly was a bit tough for me- it is a tight fit to get the crossbar in place-instructions are lacking info on the brake & how to get the front wheel to spin. I figured them both out & they are good features to know-it is heavy so although collapsing it is fairly easy, I don’t see us transporting this much. That’s okay b/c we’ll mostly use in the neighborhood-the material on the bottom & side had tiny tears. I think possible from the tire rubbing during shipment (I’m willing to live with this b/c I’m grateful it shipped to me at all)Review wouldn’t let me add a photo

Well built! Happy dog now mobile again!
I love this pet jogger. I have only been on 3 walks with it so far, but it is as nice as I had hoped for.The rating for this product would have been a 5, except there are a couple things that could be addressed by the company: 1) The directions that came with the jogger used to assemble it are incomplete. I more or less looked at the photos and had better luck putting it together that way. There are not too many parts, and won't take long to put together, but the written directions are unclear at best. Esp. directions to do with tightening the brakes. And believe me...you need the brakes. 2) Speaking of the brakes, you will need them locked in order to load or encourage a large dog to get in. They tend to not want to jump willingly into a moving jogger. Also, it will pop a wheely, loading or unloading a large dog. 3) The pad that is velcroed in place in the bed of the jogger will easily slide as your dog is trying to load. This made it very difficult for my extremely arthritic dog to comfortably get in. As a result, I took the pad out, not that it was much of a pad, very, very thin. My 70lb dog needs cushion, so I will fashion my own pad that will not slip/slide and it will pad her old, arthritic body from the frame. 4) And lastly this one is NOT a flaw of the jogger....just something I had not considered before purchase. It does not fold down to accommodate travel.
