Pet Gear Happy Trails Lite No-Zip Pet Stroller

Received this stroller as a birthday gift; got the boysenberry color which is definitely more purplish in person than in the photo (I actually like it better!) Set up out of the box was very easy as the wheels and cup holder just clip on. It is very light but feels secure, especially with my 7 lb chihuahua in the basket. I LOVE the clip canopy/no zip function which is why I wanted this stroller. When folding the stroller up, make sure the arrows on the front wheels are facing forward so they sit properly like in the instructions. This took me a few tries to figure out! I’m also pleased to report that the pad from the Sleepypod Air carrier fits in the basket PERFECTLY!

Very nice product. Sturdy snd attractive, easy to fold up for the car. Piper, however, hates to go in the stroller. She couldn’t go for walks as her torn ACL needed to heal without surgery. Piper is a 12 year old small cocker spaniel, and has gained weight since her injury, so she’s at 25 pounds but can comfortably sit in the stroller. However, she is nervous about it so we keep our stroller walks fairly short. The product is excellent. I lined it with a fluffy beach towel for comfort and it would be great for a somewhat smaller dog that’s more prone to sit and enjoy the ride. Piper is just beginning to go on short walks and she’s loving it. We will keep the stroller as a back up just Very nice product. Sturdy snd attractive, easy to fold up for the car.

My 8 lb., chihuahua received this in time to ring in the New Year. We ordered it a week ago. It was shipped from the Pet Gear factory and came in super condition. I had no issues in putting parts together. We took it for a stroll as soon as all was in order. The push was smooth and my dog was comfortably looking around and turning end from end. Brakes work fine, and the fastener for screen works securely. He likes it, I like it. Minimal con is that the screen part of the canopy rolls down on its own over his head. I had to tilt the canopy back to keep it in place. I will find a way to keep the screen up, unless we wish to fasten it below to secure him in. Perfect for small dog.

Overall, I am fairly satisfied with the product, especially for the price. I do feel there are some design problems. First, in order to fold this up you have to practically disconnect everything... the cage, velcro flaps, locking brackets, etc. It says to release the bottom seat area and if one is to do that often enough, it will likely tear the seam (there is no loop or flap or anything to grab onto to prevent tearing with disconnection over and over). Essentially you are assembling the stroller each time you open it. The other thing I don't like is the locking clasp design that was highlighted as a zipper replacement feature.

Essentially you are assembling the stroller each time you open it. The other thing I don't like is the locking clasp design that was highlighted as a zipper replacement feature. The canopy that folds down does not have the same size metal frame as the opening of the clasp, so the canopy is held loosely instead of tight. With a few sidewalk bumps, I feel the clasp can come loose and enable the pet to escape. It should fit much more snugly and this could have been easily fixed by making the top frame the same size as the bottom. I will be using a spring clamp in order to keep it tight. Lastly, your pet should be pretty small. Once you put a pad in there (and it needs one for comfort), any dog or cat over 12-15 pounds would have very little wiggle room. I tried adding photos of the clasp area but the site would not upload anything. … more

Perfect size for my 7lb Chihuahua who loves to go with me on long walks. Love the no zipper part of the canopy. I’m 5’6” & the handle height is perfect. I would have given it a 5 star rating, However the wheels are hollow & I do not think they will hold up for long. The front wheels chatter when pushed if she’s not in it. If you’re looking for something for a lot of outdoor use pick one with better wheels.

I do love this little stroller. It is just the right size for my 7 lb Japanese Chin. He has a great view through the mesh screen. The top is easy to fold up and down. I like the no zipper closure. The wheels roll nicely over all kinds of surfaces. It is lightweight and folds up easily. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is I wish it folded up flatter and the latch that is supposed to hold it closed isn't mounted properly and won't reach to the peg it is supposed to go over. But, it stays closed ok on it's own.

I love my dog- but when we try and walk there's many stop and see- I call being an 'anchor'. Frustrating when you set out and always results in carrying a 22 lb. dog back home! I had borrowed a friend's stroller so I knew what a relief that was! Had to get my own.!! This stroller is exactly what we needed! Now we're both happy and active!

My senior chihuahua mix hurt his leg and we need to limit how much he walks and plays. He goes with me everywhere he's allowed and it seemed unfair to suddenly leave him at home all the time. A stroller seemed like the ideal solution to help him recover, but still experience our Brooklyn neighborhood. Set up was easy, he fits perfectly (14 lb dog), and I think he likes to experiece the world from above the sidewalk! I love that the stroller is lightweight, but I wish it felt a little sturdier.

I love this stroller and my little Maltese Fudge really loves it. It has made our outings great. I purchased a cover for the rain and it is a blessing. Fudge hates the rain so this is great. It is also light weight and easy to handle,

It came almost fully assembled and the rest was easy to put together. I don’t understand what is meant by the elevated option. I never did figure it out. It’s very sturdy and easy to use. One suggestion. They have a peep through area on top. Would have been nice to have a way to cover it in case of rain
