westiemum Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 OK - I'm a numpty and pushed a proper child's three wheeler stroller around with Mac in it for some years. Perse found it for me on Gumtree - a Phil and Ted's three wheeler which I could manouvre with one hand with Mac in it and the other two westies on leads to get to the park. And not once did I get anything but delighted (if surprised!) comments. I carried mac on the beach one day and that was the only time I got a snarky comment about carrying a dog. I did a lot of research before I bought the stroller - and the stroller won hands down - completely manouvreable, stable (after all it is used for children), a great size, cheap second hand and very versatile - when Mac got too tired at the park he'd go back in his stroller for a snooze in the shade. Mac loved it - he could see what was going on around him and he was very comfy. And I could put my bottle of red in it as well! The trollies and garden wagons I found were too low, and too hard to manouvre and steer with the other two westies on leads, and nowhere near as stable - and the so called dog prams off eBay (as in the link above) were simply expensive junk. Anyway, my name is Westiemum, I'm a numpty and damn proud of it! And when Sarah gets to this point (which won't be long) then she'll take over where Mac left off. Hope this helps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd far rather use a stroller than get seen dead with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: Forgot to add - whatever you buy, make sure you can get it in your car and get it in and out easily. While you might not think you'll need to take it anywhere I can almost guarantee that you'll want to take it somewhere at some stage - and children's strollers are designed for that.

A bag needs to be carried .. dog will get very hot inside , and it wouldn't be all that comfortable swinging around, I'd guess . Pimp a pusher - use it as a trolley for shopping etc ... Yep agreed - would probably be Ok on short walks in winter but I wouldn't want to do that in summer. And believe me even a small dog gets very heavy very quickly if you're carrying them. Will likely severely limit the length of your walks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juice Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 There was a lady in my suburb bought one like the 3 wheeler buggy but especially for dogs. She said it wasn't cheap, but easy to push and she had 2 other dogs walking alongside . It was for her old bully , he wasn't big for a bully it had a roof aswell and he couldn't jump out , can't remember name but think it was from the states.

_PL_ Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I'm about to proudly join the numpties . We were donated a pram and it's a lot like the one pictured with a zip screen and canopy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_PL_ Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Forgot to say, on the weekend I saw a guy who had made his own combining these. His dogs loved it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara and Sam Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I got one of these for my mum's small dog , it can be used as a back pack if needed or left to use as trolly on wheels , good ventilation and can be protected from trying to get out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillybob Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Ive seen things you wear like the kiddie harness that a dog sits in. You could also think about a push bike with a basket that you could harness your dog in, seen lots of pics of dogs in the wind with sunnies on and ears blowing. They always seem to look happy.
