My 7-month-old puppy, who I got at 3 weeks old, has basically grown inside my home since I work remotely and don't go out much. When she was younger I tried taking her outside but it stressed her out bigtime, so I decided to wait until the winter was over and try again. Well, now at 7 months she's still terrified of the outdoors, which is understandable since she's only been out to get her shots and to get spayed. I tried taking her out to enjoy a beautiful day and get groomed while we were out, but she was having none of it so now I need to take more drastic measures to get her socialized, so I figured I'd buy a stroller to ease her into the world.In the process, I looked at reviews for a gazillion strollers (from $60 - $2K+!). Since I was just looking for a pet stroller, not a car, I decided to look for something reasonable to meet the immediate need. Since quality and convenience are paramount to me, finding the right stroller was a huge task task given the wide range in pricing. In the mids of my search I came across this one and I was impressed with the mutli-uses, great pics and description but, since it didn't have any reviews (I discounted the existing one as that of a new seller trying to get in te game), I put this one on my list while the search continued. In the process I looked at at least 100 strollers (some of them multiple times), but kept coming back to this one since all had complaints (mostly about the wheels, or maneuverability or what have you). Tired of reading reviews and looking at the finalists over and over again (and changing my mind over and over again), I kept coming back to this one and finally decided, albeit with hesitation, to pull the plug on this one, and holding my breath til it got here. One can always return it if it doesn't work but, knowing it would probably be a huge hassle trying to repack the stroller after putting it together, I reeeeeallyyyyyy didn't want to make a mistake on this item!I finally received it today and couldn't wait to put it together! Then I got so excited I needed to come write this review before I took it outside because it's THAT FANTASTIC, and then some :)). YessssssssssssssThe packaging was very compact (no way I would've gotten it back in the box for a return, lol), and it was very carefully packaged with all kinds of protective foam, and all the pieces were accounted for, so that was the first big star just for that! Nothing more annoying than getting big, hard-to-repackage-and-return items with damaged parts or missing pieces... ugh!I normally read instructions but I was anxious to see this baby all put together, so I'm thrilled to report that building this was a pretty intuitive and quick process without them; took me about 10 minutes altogether. Another big star for that!FRAME AND BUILDAs I was taking every piece in, I was struck by the impressive quality of the materials, construction and design. The frame is lightweight and easily maneuverable, yet extremely sturdy. It can most certainly be manipulated to open and close with just one hand, and the wheels clicked into place very easily. The handle section has a lovely leatherette cover along the sides that looks and feels very supple and high end, and the frame is a lovely matte black instead of the usual cheap-looking, shiny black metal. so that was a pleasant surprise. The designer definitely has a keen eye for elegance, which is evidenced by the attention to detail on this item. Even the plastic parts on the frame are quite solid too, also in an elegant matte finish, so no absolutely no expectation that anything should fall apart on this stroller anytime soon. The frame rolls effortlessly over my tiled floors so, so while indoor performance is not necessarily indicative of how well it will handle on the street or sidewalks, at this point there's nothing about the item that gives me any reason to doubt it will perform as expected, so a third star for that. If that changes once I take it out for a spin, I will be sure to update this review but, for now, a well earned third star from me!CARRIERSTop:Here again, the materials are exquisite. The exterior fabric is strong, quality material, and the reinforced mesh is thick; looks like it can withstand a good amount of persistent clawing and scratching and be none the worse for wear. I was delighted to see that the sides are held up by very strong wire frames, and the designer even thought to put a thick, sturdy pull-strap on each wire frame so you can easily pull the wire frames so they lock into the well secured plastic bases on the bottom of the carrier floor. I find this level of attention to detail quite sexy, lol.Moving on, the padding inside is MUCH better than the standard inserts as well. It has a solid board underneath, with padding in the middle and a solidly sewn vinyl cover all around, so no "accidents" will soak through. That said, I'll most likely wrap this pad in a blanket to prevent my puppy (or her kitten sister) from possibly scratching the vinyl. This padded board fits perfectly inside the bottom of the carrier, so there will be no sliding around, no matter how much your fur baby squirms in there.The top piece of this carrier is another joy to behold. It easily snaps into place, the attachment is secure, and the opening sides on the top are both padded and reinforced; I'd be shocked if these seams were to ever come undone with use. Here again, the plastic handle is ever so sturdy; it stays securely closed when needed, and opens flawlessly when you want it to. The opening mechanics of the sides do not disappoint, either. They're firmly controlled and emit a very audible click per level when you open it (3 positions). No flimsiness here! Overall, I love that I can put my fur baby inside the carrier from the top, leave some portion of the "sunroof" open for her, and it will stay in place. When I put my Buttercup (long-haired chihuahua, 8 lbs) in this carrier and walked her around, the carrier kept it's shape and did not bow on the bottom. The fact that it has a strap inside to attach to her harness for added safety completes the thoughtful design and execution of this piece. Absolutely love it! This carrier accounts for the fourth full star.Bottom:Same exquisite materials as the top one, so I'll only address the differences. This one is held up by the solid sides once you zip them up (instead of the wire frames), but the bottom along the length is held firmly by the thick, horizontal wires that run along the edges. I especially appreciate that those wires are built in and solidly sown with proper reinforcement, so you can't take them out or have to manipulate them for any reason. The material that covers those wires feel thick and strong, so I don't anticipate them popping through. The bottom insert in this one is composed of a thick, solid board with a sheepskin-like, zipped cover, which can be removed for washing. While there is no padding between the sheepskin-like cover and the board, the thickness and solid construction of the board makes me think that it will be comfortable to lie on for by babies so, while one could always add a blanket or pillow if wanted, I don't think it's necessary and might actually be undesirable in some cases because it could add instability to their footing.This carrier also has the extendable side for added space under certain conditions of use, which is a plus. The flap on the side that keeps the extension closed is made of the same silky/ neoprene-y material as the solid parts of the carrier, in keeping with the overall aesthetic of this ensemble. This carrier has 4 zippers, all of which are very well sown in and have very cute, metal zipper pulls that are built in (as opposed to those that kinda plug into the zipper track and often fall off). While the U-shaped piece that attaches to the zipper is a little thin so there's a slight possibility the pulls might break in time, I have no imminent concern of that happening with careful handling. The zippers are not butter-smooth, but they work well, and they could possibly smooth out with use. Even if they don't they're quite satisfactory for me, except the top one, which separates easily with just a soft pull on the sides (not by the zipper pull. For that reason, I'd be sure to always use the harness attachment strap on any pet inside this carrier, so they don't end up taking off if they buck against the top and the zipper separates.One thing I love about this carrier is the rope handles; so beautifully and practically executed! The areas where the ropes attach to the carrier are made of very thick, well sown material, and the ropes are thick and strong, yet made of soft material that's pleasant to the touch. It also comes with a strong nylon patch with secure snap buttons to hold the ropes together and provide a soft handle, which is a great, thoughtful touch. There's another, longer rope to use if you want to carry this over the shoulder, in which case you can transfer the nylon handle to that piece to protect your shoulder. This rope can also be used as a leash, which is fantastic. I am storing it in the pocket on one of the carrier's side doors, so it's out of the way yet always on hand if I need to use it. While I don't think they're metal, the side clips/hooks to which the shoulder rope attaches are plenty strong, so I've no concerns about these possibly breaking and dropping the carrier with your baby in it.Because of the weaker top zipper, I'd give this carrier half a star (out of one), but there are other plusses here that offset that. As with the rest of this ensemble, every patch, tag, and strap is of excellent quality. The parts that attach to your luggage handle for travel are securely sown in and padded, giving this carrier greater usability. The fact that there so much mesh around it for ventilation is another plus and, since the strap that attaches to your baby's harness means that your pet can't escape even if the top zipper separates, I am ok giving this carrier a full star, for a total of 5 stars for the whole ensemble.All things considered, this is a top notch stroller, and I am overjoyed that I decided to take the plunge with this item. It screams quality and class; I'm sure it will get loads of compliments when I take my babies out. I was hesitant to spend $200 on an item I thought would only be for temporary use (til Buttercup feels more comfortable being outside), but it is worth every penny. Heck, I'd ride in it myself if I could, lol. I foresee I'll be using it much longer than anticipated, and take two of my cats out for a stroll as well once Buttercup is comfortable walking about on a leash.Please note that I'm taking time off work to write this review :)) because I think the item is that good and everyone should buy it now, but I will surely update this within the week with my impressions on the road with it. I will also, for the first time ever, do a video to accompany this review, which is something I was sure I'd never do, so yeah -- never say never! But I'll make an exception because this stroller really is that good, and I want to reward this seller for providing such a high quality alternative to all the crappy and/or overpriced pet strollers on the market. Speaking of the seller, they have never contacted me, nor have I received any compensation to write this review.To sum it all up: JUST DO IT. BUY THIS STROLLER NOW, YOU WON'T REGRET IT! And please like this review if you find it helpful :)). Thanks!
