westiemum Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Well I've now had two nights walking with the new Macmobile - a Phil and Teds 3 Wheeler Dash Stroller and it's brilliant - thanks so much Perse for spotting it!!! I've decided it doesn't need any modification. All I've done is lay the main seat down and remove the second toddler seat at the back, put a pillow in (which fits perfectly) and wind Mr Mac's lead around the handle bar - and we're away. I can't believe how much easier it is and he seems to really like it! In the photos, the black strap is his lead which is attached to his harness. Sorry the photos are sideways - don't know why they upload like that but will still give you a good idea. Can highly recommend it as a potential solution for smaller dogs under 15-20 kgs ( I think the upper weight limit for this stroller is 25kgs) but I'm not sure I'd want to push it with that much dog in it).

westiemum Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Perse it sure does - particularly with trying to walk three westies - and one a fairly immobile 14 year old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion 01 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Looks great westiemum, and mac looks very relaxed with your driving. Makes life so much easier doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Let's just say my gorgeous old Mac is a very tolerant boy given this is the first time his mother has seriously pushed a pram any distance! But it really us very easy to push - gravel, grass - handles it all with ease! Moonlight Cinema here we all come!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Oh that is just too tooo good. Well done. I think the local paper should be told about the MacMobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Fantastic! He looks very happy in his new chick magnet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Thanks all - I think its a very good solution for Mac as well as a very cost effective solution as well. Although buying an old stroller and having it modified would have been good too, I suspect the overall costs would have been well above $50.

westiemum Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) Hi All, A quick update on the Macmobile - its really brilliant. Mac seems to absolutely love it - he didn't want to get out of it when we got home from our walk this afternoon - and its so easy to manouvre with one hand with Andy and Sarah on a double lead at the side. Yesterday I was out with a girlfriend with them all as she wanted to look at dog beds at the local pet shop (no live animals). And Mac was baulking just getting from the shop back to the car ark. So the Macmobile has been a life saver. Can highly recommend this solution if you have an elderly dog who really can't walk anymore. Photos from today: Mac looks very comfy! And interestingly after I put him back in it to come home from the park he turned around to face me. As you can see its an ideal fit for him. I'm just so pleased with this solution for my old man - it makes such a difference to him. Edited March 2, 2014 by westiemum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ness Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Not sure either Kenz or Ness would be quite so obliging as Mac - he looks quite happy with his new set of wheels . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion 01 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Mac looks ever so comfy in his mobile, westiemum. They have become really popular for rescues with oldies. Lovely to know the oldies can get out and enjoy life too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Love Macs new wheels westiemum. They are magic ! Dear little bloke can still get out & about. Wonderful.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Thanks BC - yes this particular pram is just ideal for Mac and me - and it's even better now I've had a bit of practice. I'm not sure Perse realised just how clever she was spotting it for me. It really is perfect for him and he so loves being able to lie down and see out and be pushed to the park. And for $50 it's a bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VizslaMomma Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 :) It is so nice that the old boy can still be out with his pack ....x Equally great that his Momma's human pack helped too. Yet another great thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Yep what would we do without DOL!!! Thank you to everyone who helped Mac get mobile again and who helped me and responded so warmly -VM I never thought about it that way but it's nice having a 2 legged pack as well as my 4 legged one!!!
