PetGear 'Happy Trails PLUS' Stroller (Up to 30 pounds)

Rating

I am a very loyal customer of Overstock.com and I am thoroughly satisfied with almost every purchase thus far. I was very disappointed with this purchase however. Everything was fine in the beginning, the instructions manual was a bit confusing, but at least all the parts were packaged and in good condition. The stroller went up easily and it was extremely sturdy and pretty good quality. I often take brisk walks and jog. I know this stroller is not meant for jogging per say, however if you are in the market for a stroller to take more than a stroll, this is not the stroller for you. I am not sure if it was damaged, but as soon as everything was assembled (mind you, I did check twice on the assembly) the front wheels started to shake violently when I finally got up to speed during walking. I did have my Maltese in the stroller at this time, so it was not a weight issue (she did find the bedding quite comfy though). Needless to say, I returned this stroller and am going to try a different one. As I said before, if you are wanting a stroller to enjoy a nice, brisk walk, this would not be a number one choice!

I am very pleased with this stroller. There was little to assemble. It is light weight, easy to push and handle. The pad for inside the stroller could be thicker with more padding but you can add your own pad. Large and roomy. My dogs love it.

As an owner of 12 cats of various sizes & weights, I required something that would hold up. I would of preferred a more flexable color (something for both girls & boys). I also would of likes something that would of been able to have the main handle fold down & be locked into a seatbelt. This would make it easier for transporting to the vets office. Overall, I do really love the stroller. I like being able to take 1-2 of my brood out for a stroll down the street & back. The price was extremely fair as well as the fact that it will hold up to 30#. I would highly recommend this item for someone that just wants to walk or jog & take their pet along for the outing.

I have had this stroller for several months and had to share that this is one of the best, most fun purchases I have made. CoeyCorey is a small Lhasa Apso weighing 16 lbs but I bought the larger size so that she could stretch out, etc. I bought the raspberry color because she is a girl! She is the happiest dog ever but as soon as she gets into the stroller she is ecstatic because she knows we are going "shopping". She loves to go into the malls, stores, restaurants. As another reviewer wrote, and I found it to be true, just a jacket or a throw over the mesh part of the stroller and no one knows there is a dog inside. CoeyCorey is extremely quiet and just loves to look at everyone. She sits up front right next to the mesh and watches. The stroller is very easy to collapse and to open up. I just push down on the lever on the handle and it folds into itself. I can easily lift it and put it into the back of the jeep. Opening it is just as easy - just pull it up and it clicks into a "locked" position. The only part of the stroller that is a little tricky is the zipper part - I read that from another reviewer also, but what I do is to always keep the zipper about 10% zipped and even when I fold it up to put it away, the zipper stays together a little bit and then I don't have to struggle trying to get the zipper going. Keep in mind that I live in New Mexico where one doesn't see many of these strollers which is why it is such a conversation piece. This is almost considered as essential as a leash and collar in other areas such as Florida. I can't say enough good things about this product. It is functional, fun and truly offers me a sense of freedom in that I don't have to leave her home if I want to go anywhere. It was delivered in perfect condition and right on time. Thank you Overstock for such a great product and for your excellent delivery.

What a god-sent; my little dog is recovering from knee surgery and recovery is 4-6 months! This stroller now allows me to take her out to local parks. So far this stroller has endured dirt and gravel paths and rolls smoothly over grass. The water bottle holder is handy, but the lower basket is sometimes difficult in removing items. The only set-back is the zipper in the front. It's difficult to fasten, but I quickly learned to remove and place my dog without having to completely undo it. I had slight difficulty with assembly of rear wheets and needed to call upon a male friend for assistance. The color is great and I receive many compliments. Overall, it's a great buy and product.
