PET STROLLERS- A BUYER'S GUIDE
#1. Pet Stroller Capacity
Pet stroller weight capacity is not an issue if you have a small dog or cat but if you want to stroll a large pet (greater than 25 lbs.) then this is something you need to consider. Not all pet strollers are designed to carry large pets. If you have a large dog or pet then make sure you purchase a stroller that can support the weight of your pet.
StrollersforPets.com is designed to allow you to easily factor your pet's weight into your purchasing decision. All of our product descriptions display the maximum pet weight capacity of the stroller. You can also use our "Shop By Pet Size" feature to identify strollers that can safely carry the load of your animal.
#2. Pet Stroller Color
Pet strollers come in a wide variety of fashionable colors and you will want to take this in account when purchasing your stroller.
StrollersforPets.com is designed to allow you to easily identify different colored pet strollers as you are making your purchasing decision. You can use our "Shop By Stroller Color" feature to identify strollers that are available in your favorite color.
#3. Pet Stroller Functionality: Detachable Carriers and Travel Strollers
Some pet strollers come with detachable carriers that seperate from the stroller frame. Detachable carriers are useful if you want to transport your pet by hand in the carrier over short distances. They are also handy if you want to leave your pet in the carrier somewhere rather than on the stroller. All of the Kittywalk line of strollers come with detachable carriers.
"Travel" strollers have detachable carriers that can be used to safely transport your pet in the car or on a plane. Travel strollers are designed for long trips.
StrollersforPets.com is designed to allow you to easily identify pet strollers with detachable carriers. All of our product descriptions indicate whether the carrier is detachable or for long distance travel. You can use our "Shop By Stroller Type" feature to identify travel strollers and strollers with detachable carriers.
#4. Pet Stroller Use: Jogging or Strolling?
If you plan on jogging with your pet then you need to purchase a jogging stroller. Jogging strollers have three wheels instead of four to provide maximum stability. The wheels are typically large, treaded, and often include shock absorbers. The frame is stronger than regular pet stroller. All of these feature provide a stable platform for pushing the stroller at higher speeds.
StrollersforPets.com is designed to allow you to easily identify pet strollers that are designed for jogging. All of our product descriptions indicate whether the carrier can be used for jogging. You can use our "Shop By Stroller Type" feature to find jogging strollers.
#5. Pet Stroller Features
You will need a dog or cat stroller with a lot of storage space if you are planning on taking your pet on extended outdoor adventures. Different pet strollers have different amount of cargo storage space. Some have pockets mounted to the stroller frame or pet carrier. "Parent Trays" are often a common feature. Parent trays are storage trays that are typically located on top of the stroller handles. These trays can be used to carry small items like drinks, keys, cell phones, or treats for your dog or cat. Don't forget to take stroller storage space into account as you are making your purchasing decision. All of our product descriptions and feature lists include storage space.
#6. Pet Stroller Price
StrollersforPets.com "Shop By Stroller Price" feature is designed to allow you to easily identify strollers in the following price ranges:
When comparing strollers and retailers:
-
Make sure you consider shipping charges. All of our products ship free by ground.
-
Make sure the retailer can ship your product quickly. Most of our strollers ship the same day.
- Make sure you read the return policies to find a retailer with a fair policy like ours
-
Do not purchase from an online store that doesn't post pet stroller reviews and customer testamonials
The demand for cat and dog strollers has grown significantly over the last several years and as a result we've noticed that some cheap imitation strollers are being sold on the market. They have similar designs as the name brands (Pet Gear, Happy Trails, Jeep, Pet Valet, and Kittywalk) but are often constructed with low quality materials. As a result they typically have much higher return rates and may be unsafe for your pet. We recommend that you purchase your stroller from a well established stroller store like StrollersforPets.com.
