I and my dog really enjoy this stroller.   My only complaint is it is very difficult to to put items underneath in the compartment below because it is too tight height wise.   My dog has a very heavy coat and gets hot easily so I cover the top with a light baby blanket to keep the sun from shinng directly on her.  That usually works well unless it is very windy.   I also put a piece of foam on the bottom for extra cushion.   I like the height  of the handlebar.  The ones I owned before were always too sort even for me and I am only 5'1".   The no zip feature is the only way to go.   The stroller feels sturdy is easy to manuver, and works well.  I start out walking my dog and push the stroller along at the same time.  Usually after a block or two she is anxious to get in her stroller .  It is so nice that she can get out and enjoy the day even if she can hardly walk.
