After two stroller walks with my 9 pound furry friend, I am overall very happy with this purchase. It is an exceptional value considering everything. The assembly (attachment of wheels cup holder tray) was pretty easy Just be careful to snap rear wheels on so that the breaks are accessible.
I did refer to a YouTube video for assistance with unfolding and folding the stroller. I’m still getting used to it, but am sure it will become easier with practice.
The two equally critical aspects of this stroller include its 40” handlebar height (I’m 5’7” and shorter strollers would cause me back pain after longer walks) AND that it is lightweight at 11.5 lbs. A big bonus is that there is no zipper to fumble with or which could possibly break, as was my experience with a different stroller that I owned. The one-snap latch closes firmly and I have no fear that my dog can escape even if excited by a squirrel or by other dogs. Plus, there is a tether inside the carriage that will attach to your pet’s harness or collar for extra security.
I can deal with the other relatively minor issues 1) Wish that it had one-hand foldingunfolding at the handlebar, as opposed to having to bend over and use two hands on each side of the stroller to open and unfold it. However, since the stroller is so lightweight, I am willing to deal with this inconvenience. 2) Wish it had a back pocket to more conveniently hold doggie bags, keys, phone, water, etc. The cup holder tray is not very deep and these items could easily slip off the tray while in motion. There is a storage bag underneath the stroller to hold such items, as well as a jacket or whatever else, it’s very low and not super convenient.
I had a concern about how the wheels would maneuver and whether the front wheels would shake, but have not found it to be an issue. The stroller maneuvers very well on gravel trails, grass concrete. The Boysenberry color is very cute and my dog loves her new stroller. You will probably want to put a fluffy blanket or cushion inside for your pet’s comfort.
