EchoSmile 4 Wheels Pet Stroller, Foldable Dog & Cat Stroller for All-Season, Lightweight Carrier with Storage Basket, Adjustable Handle, Removable Pad, Breathable Mesh, Up to 135 lbs, Grey

Lowrider that’s easy to assemble and collapse. What your dog thinks will vary.
Our dog is in his senior years and we wanted to get him used to a stroller before he really needed it. We have an 18 lb dachshund mix who is about 18” from shoulder to flank and this has plenty of room for him.The stroller feels well-made in that the zippers all work smoothly and seams look good and assembly was smooth. I have only had this for a couple of weeks so I can’t speak to how long this is going to last.The stroller comes with directions but is very easy to assemble without it as the bars are clearly marked which one goes where. TIP: unzip everything, and roll the material over each bar as you go along.The space for your dog is about 26.5”x26”x17.5” which was plenty of space for our dog. You probably want to add a blanket or cushioning over the provided pad and the floor of the stroller is 23”x14”.Wheels attach easily and stay on securely until you unlatch them with the button. The locking brakes work well.Fully collapsed it’s 9” deep (including putting the wheels inside). You only need to remove the middle bars to collapse. It’s about 14 lbs all together but if you take the wheels off it feels less than 10lbs.This fits into the backseat of our small SUV (Nissan Kicks) and it comes with a safety strap. Please note, you will have to remove the wheels before putting in the car.The stroller rolled over the pavement, street, a thick lawn and dirt fine but as the wheels are plastic you can feel the vibrations of the ground esp on the sidewalk/hard and rough surfaces. Overall though, it felt secure and safe for my dog.The handle height was great for me and I’m 5’4 but I found pushing the buttons on either side of the handles at the same time to adjust the angle somewhat challenging.All of that said, our dog isn’t a fan and was very stressed out for the stroll around the neighborhood. I now know that you’re supposed to slowly integrate the stroller into a dog’s life. I recommend researching this before putting your dog inside.

perfect for my small dogs
Any dachshund owner will tell you, they want to go everywhere with you in the laziest way possible. This stroller makes this work for both them and us.Assembly is required with this stroller and while instructions are included, I found them a little confusing at first. Well, technically, the instructions were acceptable, but some joker labeled most of the pieces incorrectly. I had several pieces with two different labels on them, two of the same pieces labeled as different, and other pieces not labeled at all. Additionally, there are some specifics absent from the instructions, such as which way a piece should face during assembly. If you take a moment and think it through it you can catch it before you put it together. But if not, the pieces snap apart without much difficulty. Be aware that there are separate front and rear wheels, and this is indicated in the instructions. The rear wheels have brakes and are otherwise stationary, while the front wheels are omnidirectional. The wheels themselves are sturdy and substantial, and have performed very well over the rough terrain of more than one flea market, to include rocks, gravel, and dirt paths.The measurements are accurate to the description, and both of my one-year old dachshunds had no issue fitting comfortably in the unit with sufficient movement once inside. As my boys are still quite young, we leave the windows zipped up while we are out and about, but an older senior dog, or calmer pups might enjoy the open-air feeling of the screens rolled up. Separately, the top window can remain open with most dogs being unable to reach it. Mine don’t even notice that it’s open. Additionally, there is a clasp secured within the stroller, to attach your dog to if they like the open air but aren’t to be trusted to stay put.The description and instructions indicate that this stroller folds up, which technically it does, though not without some disassembly. If you have used a human stroller before, you might be expecting the stroller to fold with a quick-release without having to do anything but close it up, but this stroller requires two of the supports to be disconnected and turned inward before the unit can be closed up. Since most folks don’t use their dog stroller daily, this isn’t a huge deal because it does allow the stroller to take up less space, but my feeling is that if parts need to come apart to fold it up, that’s not ‘foldable’, that’s ‘deconstructs for space-saving’. The stroller itself does live up to the description of lightweight; I can easily pick it up and set it in the car without straining.My favorite aspect of this stroller is the fact that my very short dogs can climb in and out without any assistance, which they seem to appreciate. One of the dogs is quite anxious and it seems that being closer to the ground makes him more comfortable. While the carriage portion of the stroller is down low, the handle is fully adjustable for either short or tall drivers. My husband of 6’5” has no issue using the stroller without having to slouch, and for myself at 5”5, I can lower it to make it comfortable for me as well. The stroller moves smoothly, and it seems like the lower center of gravity makes the movements less drastic, keeping my dogs comfortable while their humans get to relax knowing that they are secure and happy. I find this to be on par with similarly outfitted pet strollers, and the quality is exceptional; a great investment.
