 Jeep Wrangler NOT what I expected! May 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was not happy at all with the Jeep Wrangler pet stroller. I purchased the stroller for my senior dachshund. The front wheels wobble horribly causing the entire stroller to shake. I expected a high quality durable product with the name Jeep Wrangler associated with it. I was very disappointed and will be returning the item.
 Awesome Stroller! April 19, 2008
We take our little girl everywhere and it's so nice to let her stretch out in a stoller. She loves it. This is a very well-made stroller, excellent quality, heavy zippers, good stitching, nothing is done "cheaply". This has been such a life-saver for us and we use it constantly! Oh, and I love that it's not pink or bright red or some other equally embarassing color!!! One more thing, I read a previous review of a problem of tipping over with heavier dogs, and I found that locking the wheels (which can be done by flipping the switch with your foot -- very easy) will prevent this.
Lawsuit waiting to happen. Do not buy this. December 14, 2007

This review is for the 30 lb. version of the product, but is applicable here...br /I am absolutely shocked that this product ever made it to market. If a baby stroller with this design ever hit the stores, the company would have been shut down by lawsuits instantly. Take a good look at the picture and I'll describe the dimensions. The wheelbase (front to back) is 20 inches. The wheel width is 14 inches. The bottom of the basket (where the animal sits) is 16 inches off the ground. The basket itself is 24 inches long with 9 of those inches BEHIND THE REAR AXLE. If it's hard to picture those dimensions with a 30 lb. animal inside it, the deal is this - the center of gravity is way too high for the tiny wheel width and length. Any restless dog that weighs more than 10lbs can easily tip this thing over. Making matters far worse, and it is completely beyond comprehension how this happened, there is a full 9 inches of basket that sits behind the rear axle. If the animal simply shifts towards the back of the stroller, down it goes.br /br /Now let me clarify one thing - I understand that it is a stroller and you're supposed to have your hands on the handles. But that's impossible. You have to put the animal in it and you have to zip it closed. Unless you have two people, you're going to have moments where you can't stabilize it yourself. Or if you let go for even a moment, let's say to tie your shoe, expect this thing to be sideways if your animal moves at all. If a dog gets up on his hind legs and puts his front paws against a side wall of the basket, it will go over sideways. If he moves toward the back, the front wheels come right up off the ground and the whole unit falls backwards over the rear axle. br /br /We borrowed this item from a member of our animal rescue group because one of our rescued dogs is old, overweight, and has a bad back. She has gotten to where she can't walk as far as the others so we thought we'd try this. We observed the dangerous flaw in the design the first time we tried it. I picked her up and put her in the basket and, with both hands on her and not on the stroller, before I could grab the handle she had moved toward the back and tipped it over. After several weeks of serious back pain and trips to the vet, we tried again, acknowledging that we had to be very diligent about stabilizing it at all times. Unfortunately, that kind of diligence is impossible. Sooner or later you'll need to momentarily let go and before you know it your dog has hit the pavement again. What's so incredibly stupid about the design is that there is a cargo basket underneath the animal compartment. All they need to do is get rid of it and lower the compartment. One other flaw worth mentioning - the handle needs to extend farther back. Unless you walk with your arms stretched way out in front of you, you'll find yourself constantly kicking the back wheels or the axle. This a minor issue compared to the injury you could inflict on your pet, but worth pointing out.br /br /In summary, I am just astonished that this product could have made it out of the test facility. Maybe a cat or a real small dog couldn't knock it over, but I wouldn't even bet on that. I have contacted the manufacturer, but have not heard back yet. Regardless of what they say, or if they'll pay my vet bills, this product needs to be taken off the market. Do not buy this. There are other strollers out there. Look for one with a low set basket.br /
Terrific Stroller June 23, 2007

I am very pleased with this dog stroller. It's just as illustrated and described. Great,sand color with Jeep emblems on the wheels, handle, and pocket. Easy partial assembly...only the wheels to attach. The fabric is durable and the seams appear well stitched. The zippers are large (less likely to break) and require fastening as you would a jacket zipper. The most shocking aspect was the ease with which I was able to fold it! It only required one hand and it was ready to stow away. Now my old, blind, incontinent, grouchy, cuddly dog can ride when he gets too tired to walk. He and I are off to the local farmer's market in the morning thanks to the little storage basket under his new "Jeep".
