Overview and Features
This isn’t your standard dog stroller. In fact, this is an all-terrain jogger, which allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds. Not only does this jogger literally glide over cultivated terrain, but it can smoothly roll over uneven ground, gravel, dirt trails, and more.
Unlike strollers designed to handle larger breeds, this model will do best for small to medium sized breeds. The lower weight capacity doesn’t take away from the stroller’s overall durability, or its ability to take on more challenging terrain.
