3.0 out of 5 stars Great resource but check for loose bolts now & then, October 13, 2009

I purchased the medium stroller (red) for use with my dogs.

I have Border Terriers (17-21 lbs.). My older one is 14 and loves to come on walks but is not necessarily up for long walks anymore. My 2nd BT is 10 years old and is very fit but injured himself playing ball during July 2009 and I needed to limit the length of the walks for him.

I had purchased the stroller shortly after this for use with both boys.

The stroller works great. The setup of my condo means I have to collapse it going through my sliding door to my patio but it has no issue through my front door.

The main frame and structure of the stroller seem fine and are held together with a series of bolts, washers and locking nuts. I would periodically check these for coming loose. I had not done that and found that after a month and a half of regular use, they came apart. Two came loose but I have all of the parts.

The big issue with the nuts coming undone was that it put too much stress on the stroller support bar and the plastic piece on one end broke in half. I have emailed Solvit for replacement parts and will await their response.

I still believe this product is worth it, but with anything that undergoes regular use and stress, you need to check it for maintenance.

One item that I do not believe is work installing is the brake. This worked for two days and after that could not stay tight enough against the tires to work. Grass is a better braking spot than the installed brake on this stroller.

This buggy is the cat's meow!
I use this stroller for my cats and they get some curious stares and uproarious laughter during my walks when other walkers see that it is a cat inside!
Solvit offers a very good design and a well built stroller. It is easy to push and steer. The large tires make the ride smooth in comparision to those other buggies with the tiny wheeled baby stroller design. It requires minimal assembly which is easy to do.
Contrary to some reviews here, I had no rust or peeling paint on the frame. If I did have a problem I would simply exchange it for a new one.
This stroller is a bit pricey but I feel it is worth the money. I got mine in the "warehouse deals" section of Amazon, and it was slightly discounted due to the box being an "open item" with tears in the box. There was NO damage to the stroller and I am VERY PLEASED with this buggy and with Amazon.
If you are a regular walker and are looking for a sturdy buggy for your pet, this one is a good bet.
My cats (and dogs) love it and give a rating of FIVE STARS!

We used this for our annual trip to the Oregon Coast - our old cocker just can't handle the long beach walks anymore - she loved the stroller and so did we. Very easy to push around, lots of room for storasge of all kinds of stuff, and a big hit with everyone else who saw us using it.
