Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Decide if you need your stroller to do double or triple duty. There are pet strollers that can also be converted to car seats and pet carriers. If you know you will be doing traveling with your animal, this type of pet stroller is ideal.

2. Consider your neighborhood terrain. Will you need high profile wheels? If you live on a gravel road, or a bumpy surface, you will need a pet stroller with larger wheels.

3. Think about your pet when you choose between pet strollers. Is he inclined to jump out of baskets? If so, make sure your pet stroller comes equipped with a mesh cover to keep your animal inside.

4. Look at double pet strollers if you have more than 1 animal. It is common to see 2 animals in a double-decker stroller.

5. Make sure the pet stroller you choose has plenty of air circulation. If you need to close the top on your pet stroller, make sure there is plenty of areas for air to circulate. The more mesh, the better.
