This is a Lexus or Cadillac of a dog stroller! My stroller as a kid wasn't half this nice. Not having to deal with pesky zippers to secure your pup inside is a real bonus you might not appreciate until you've had the opportunity to compare. This unit has many added features and is sturdily built. It collapses easily and is a snap to unfold and locks securely in place. The weight capacity is indicative of its quality. You can stroll your pup with pride through the most chi-chi of neighborhoods and everyone will wonder who that spoiled little baby is inside. A celebrity, perhaps? Nope! Just my little best buddy! She may get tuckered out more easily now that she's getting on in years but she still likes to get out and about - she just likes to ride back home in style!
