How strong is the stitching? We purchased a Happy Trails Pet Gear Stroller and within 5 minutes our 8 lb. Maltese ripped out the mesh stitching.

I have a 20 pound sheltie mix and a 10 pound chihuahua mix that both use this stroller. We have put the stroller to good use and nothing has happened to it thus far

The stitching is pretty strong cause I have two yorkie and they both fit in it and the boy yorkie moves a lot and plays in side and nothing has came apart like stitching or part of the stroller so I love it. The only problem is the color I ordered a Gray color but it came kind of a dark green kind of grey. But anything else I do like it and the price was great. I hope it helps you.

I have a 4 lb., and 7 lb that share one stroller and it has held up well. This was my 3rd pet stroller of the same brand. The first one I replaced after 2 years because I had a problem with microscopic seed ticks on my dogs, so I discarded everything pet related, and the second one was heavily soiled by a sick pet and for cleanliness purposed I discarded it. For the price I don't think you can do any better.

I bought this for my cats and they are pretty feisty and have not broken any material. I feel that the material is very durable and I am very pleased with this purchase

We have an 8 lb yorkiepoo and it has been wonderful. I was telling everyone how amazed I was with the quality. I would highly recommend it. No complaints.

My pet stroller has been great. My dog was biting at the mesh, but it is still in tack. I love it. My dog is a 12 pound Shih Tzu

Not sure. I have two miniature schnauzers puppies and they managed to get out somehow (little Houdinis) but they did not damage the material or the zippers to do it!! I am reasonably happy with it and use it when traveling to confine them at the hotels (but I am in the room with them). It is perfect for travel as it takes up little space in the car when folded.

I am not able to confirm and say where the bag was made/assembled. As to the quality and durability of the bag, it is very strong. I have one that is going on 8 years of heavy use in the backcountry, mountains, and even daily walks around town. No major scratches, no rips/tears. The second one I purchased this year has shown no sings of wear/use, after several hiking trips, including overnight backcountry, with my dog carrying 10-15 lbs. weight. Zippers and harness, including buckles seam to be high quality, although I will need to trim the excess webbing strap off, once I find the perfect adjustment for my dog.

My dog weighs in at about 25 lbs. but she is very long. I thought she would be cramped but she seems very comfortable (yawning quite a bit). It is quite sturdy. I do want to mention that she usually sits up in the stroller so she can look around.

Tammy,I have this stroller for my maltese, and it's great !! Rolling on gravel or pavement is no issue :)The ONLY complaint is folding quickly...I have a little trouble , my 14 yr old son can do it swiftly! So it's most likely ME VRS the stroller! My maltese loves the conscience of strolling EVERYWHERE with us instead of being home ! Hahah

I've read that the stroller will hold 20-25 lbs. My Maltese weighs between 7-8 lbs, and obviously has lots of room in the stroller. I have put 2 dogs in the stroller at once , but together they weighed about 16 lbs. I'd feel comfortable around 20 lbs. just to be on the safe side.

This quilt is pretty sturdy...I've had it for months now through several washings, and it is the same soft, strongly stitched quilt. I think it would hold up to a small dog just fine.

I've had the other type with zips for years and the cats slowly tear holes in the mesh and I eventually replace them when's there is too much duct tape on the stroller--but I can't image a cat who could tear a hole in one in a single effort, large enough to get out. The mesh is plasticized and doesn't readily tear, it requires concerted, long-term effort (which one of my cats is willing to expend.)

The mesh is very sturdy and made of something like PVC. When you say hybrid we're assuming you mean Savannahs or the like. For a cat that large I might suggest only one at a time be in the stroller, unless they get along really well. My girls are very large at about 30 pounds each, and get along famously, but even they an get a bit snippy with each other if they have to be there together for over an hour. They both love the stroller but seem to know the difference between a good trip/stroll and the Vet trip, and have pushed at the mesh and clawed at it a few times to no avail. So you should be fine.

Yes, I have a 11 lb Morkie & a 8 lb chihuahua. I rigged a double lead so I could secure them both in & we went for our first bike ride today. The stroller is very high quality & I am very impressed with it! Just remember to air up the tires!! I didn't notice that the tires aired up like regular bike tires & it was very difficult toPush! I had also bought the stroller converter.

I would rate the canvas quality at least an 8. I use my stroller daily for my little 14 year old Shih Tzu. She really doesn't move around and there is little to no wear and tear.

The clip on the device is pretty strong so I can't imagine the dog breaking free. Also, the tether keeps the dog away from the bike, so they wouldn't get hurt by the bike either. If you fall on the dog, well, that could happen running with them and the only advice I could give would be don't fall. :) Honestly, my shepherd bolted after a cat last night, she is about 60 lbs of brute strength, and the bike didn't shimmy. It's a very well thought out device. This is great as long as you aren't tree bashing on a single track trail. I love it and the dogs immediately used it without any trouble. We are using it every night on the paths here.

I would not recommend the woof cycle.I have a 2 year old 70 lb. lab that was way to strong for this device.The first ride he broke the ring that holds the leash.2 months later later he snapped the base (which is also plastic).The green arm is the strongest piece of the woof cycle.The base which attaches the green arm to the bike needs to be made of a strong alloy or steel for my dog.

That's a lot of dogs. They might fit if their small but in my opinion this stroller is not very good quality and cheaply built. I carried two English Bulldogs totaling 100 lbs and this stroller just fell apart. I replaced it with one from Booyah that uses bicycle type wheels and love it. More money but well built with good materials and you can push it with one finger. Don't waste your money on Pet Gear junk.

Yes the mesh does unzip I usually have it unziped. My dog weighs 19 lbs and he fits, able to turn, and seems very comfortable. If your dog is long perhaps you should consider going up to a larger stroller. We love it and my dogs can't wait to get into it when we bring it out.

I think that depends on how often and how hard the dog stomps around in that dead-space between the seats! The canvas is *very* sturdy in appearance so I would have no problem trusting it to hold up to a larger dog. The straps appear to be very sturdy as well but they probably aren't indestructible so how well it lasts will depend on your dog. If the straps did fail it looks like it would be easy enough to sew them back on.
