RE: Converting a Baby Stroller Into a Pet Stroller
Has anyone else tried to do this? Converting baby stroller to a pet stroller? I am attempting to do this. I am going to buy a stroller that reclines all the way and try to accomplish this. For $25 used baby stroller, it comes with great suspension on the wheels unlike the dog stroller that you can buy for $100 isn't even great quality.

RE: Converting a Baby Stroller Into a Pet Stroller
I have been trying to figure this out myself.If you find a used stroller or buy one the key is to make sure it reclines so that the bottom is straight,coz some only recline half way.Then you can cover the part where the childs feet would go ,up to the front cup holder tray with material,even fun designed ones, and wrap it around the front and attach it to the sides.Then you can add mesh to the top visor and pull it down over the tray part.If you add velcro to the bottom of the stroller you can put the pet in like a baby then put the mesh over the top pulling it tight over the front and side and velcroing it on the bottom.The inside you can pad with a small bed or go to the craft store and buy cushion and cover it.If I can be of help you can email me at ...shaggy91@verizon.net Make sure you subject it as pet stroller because I don't open mail from anyone I don't know..........GOOD LUCK

RE: Converting a Baby Stroller Into a Pet Stroller
I wanted to find a stroller suitable for my parrot. He likes riding in the car, I think he would like to go to the park. Also this way he could go shopping with me. I take him with me everywhere except shopping.
I'm trying to find one that will hold his carrier, 17+" wide.

RE: Converting a Baby Stroller Into a Pet Stroller
I have been reading these reply's and while you can find pet strollers for around 40$ maybe even cheaper like the other person had said, these are strollers you wouldn't want for your pet. Some are extremely small and/or little to no protection. One of the reasons to buy a pet stroller is because smaller dogs can have a napolean complex and try to attack much larger animals. We are selling pet strollers on ebay at a fixed price of 84.99, the type of stroller we sell is usually no less then $120, sometimes on ebay they are cheaper but the seller asks for rediculous shipping charges..(it's $10 by the way). We buy them wholesale and take care of the shipping and customs ourselves to save money. If anyone is interested please visit http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl ... d=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1
thank you

I was browsing the Costco website for something else & came across this:
http://www.costco.com/Browse/Produc ... whse=BC&topnav=&cat=1697&hierPath=89
and remembered seeing your post. Costco usually has more in their store than on the website, so I imagine they sell the bench separately in store, probably no more than $20-25 I would guess. You could line the bottom with a soft blanket, and attach a longer push handle. Could also double as a car carrier if you have a van.

RE: Converting a Baby Stroller Into a Pet Stroller
My wife and I run a small pet boutique and have a site that specializes in pet strollers. Thought I'd comment on a couple of things about pet strollers based on a lot of experience:
- Lots of people are asking why use a pet stroller. Many of our customers don't feel comfortable walking a cat or have a cat that refuses to use a harness and leash. There are dozens of other reasons (and we're collecting ones that customers send us on a blog at http://petstroller.blogspot.com).
- We tested the $29.95 model that someone referred to at LTD commodities and decided not to carry it. We won't offer a stroller in which we wouldn't trust our own pets.
Some of our customers have had mixed results with trying a baby stroller. Some customers have tried using an open baby stroller while keeping their cat on a leash but have found they need to keep things out (such as agressive dogs) as much they need to keep their cat in. So, netting around the stroller is recommended. Also, be sure to create a comfortable area for your pet to sit or lay using a blanket or pillow. A blanket also helps so your pet can burrow underneath it in the event he or she wants some private time.
Good luck, and if you decide to try a real pet stroller, feel tree to visit our site (http://JustPetStrollers.com) or call us. We have recommendable models starting at $84.95 with free shipping.

I used to put my cat on a leash and try and take him for a walk. He used to walk part of the way, all over the place and never in a straight line. Then, he would get tired of it and lay down and refuse to get up. He got carried the rest of the walk :)

RE: Converting a Baby Stroller Into a Pet Stroller
My cat used to enjoy going for rides in my daughter's doll carriage, in the family room. He also wanted to go for rides in the wheelbarrow outside, when she was a teen. The utmost care was taken.
A cat could ride in a stroller without netting, etc., if the cat is harnessed and a short leash is attached to the stroller handle and harness, care being taken for the cat's safety.
People that need to take their cat to the vet's and do not have transportation, can do so quite easily with a stroller.

RE: Converting a Baby Stroller Into a Pet Stroller
Try one of the umbrella-style children's strollers (I bought one a couple of years ago at a yard sale for $5...and KMart sells them new for $12 or so) and combine it with one of the soft pet carriers that have recently been showing up at discount stores (saw some the other day at Big Lots, for approx $12-$14). Remove the fabric seat from the stroller and somehow affix the pet carrier to the stoller frame. Plastic cable ties would probably work, if there are some type of attachment points already affixed to the sides of the pet carrier. Good luck. Training your cat to walk on a leash might also be a viable alternative.

You could possibly take netting and velcro it around the sides of the stroller to keep kitty inside, although it's beyond me why someone would want to push their pet around in a stroller.

RE: Converting a Baby Stroller Into a Pet Stroller
Why in the world would you want to put a cat in a stroller??? Makes no sense to me. If it is an indoor cat and you want to take it out for a walk, you can get a harness and put the cat on a leash, and take iot for a walk. If you take the cat out in a stroller, the cat doesn't get any exercise at all.
