Selection Tips Guidelines
1. Pay attention to recommended weight capacity in kilograms
Each pet stroller has its weight limit. For safety, never overload it. Be sure to confirm your pet's weight before choosing a suitable model.
Generally, medium-sized dogs weigh about 25 kg or less, but some pet strollers suitable for medium-sized dogs can only carry about 10-20 kg. If your dog weighs more than 20 kg, it cannot use such a stroller. Therefore, before purchasing, remember to carefully check the recommended load capacity of the stroller to avoid buying something that cannot be used, which would be a waste!
Our website allows you to use a filter to select the weight capacity, as shown in the image below.
- On the stroller category page, first click on the filter.
- Then select the pet stroller weight capacity range.

2. Confirm cabin space dimensions
It's not just about paying attention to the recommended load capacity; even if the weight capacity is large, if the space is too small, it will be cramped and make pets uncomfortable.
Here's how to check if the stroller size is suitable:
- Length: Measure your pet's length from head to rump (excluding tail) with a ruler.
- Width: It should be wide enough for them to turn around and stretch slightly.
- Height: The height of your pet standing up is sufficient.
- Then check if the stroller cabin length is appropriate.
It's best to choose a slightly larger size, not one that is just enough to fill up with no extra room for activity.
Due to the wide variety of pet breeds, pets of the same weight may occupy different amounts of space. Use the filter to select the cabin length, as shown in the image below.
- On the stroller category page, first click on the filter.
- Then select the pet stroller cabin length range.

Additionally, we have also listed the cabin space dimensions on the page so that you can check the actual cabin space dimensions after measuring.
Also, if multiple pets are placed in a cabin that is too small, they might start fighting. Therefore, when choosing, please consider the number and size of your pets.

3. Choose comfortable cabin fabric
To ensure cleanliness and comfort every time you go out, you need to consider two issues.
- Is it easy to remove for cleaning?
- Is the material suitable for cleaning?
Some strollers allow for the separation of the frame and the cabin, enabling the basket to be detached. Separating the frame and cabin not only makes storage easier but also allows for easier cleaning and maintenance after separation, ensuring that dirt and pet waste from outings do not remain, so you can always go out cleanly.

4. Safety and storage convenience
When taking your furry friend out, safety is paramount.
Regarding the safety of pet strollers, key points to note include the "number of safety buckles," "braking system," "stroller body weight," and "pet safety leash."
Since pets tend to move around in the stroller, if there is no brake to secure it when parked, safety will be greatly compromised. Furthermore, while it may not be a big issue with just one pet, having only one safety buckle when transporting multiple pets can be quite inconvenient, so extra attention is needed.
In addition, if the frame is too heavy, it will be troublesome to use or store. Don't forget to check the weight of the stroller body when purchasing!
Can the stroller be folded? There are strollers on the market with two-hand press and one-hand press folding mechanisms. Choosing a one-hand press model allows for easier and faster folding and storage, which is more suited to the situation in Hong Kong.

5. Convenient with storage basket or space
When going out with pets, you'll inevitably need to bring many things like pet treats, water, poop bags, etc. Plus, after shopping, having a storage basket would certainly be a great help, and some even have cup holders! Therefore, consider your other needs and choose a stroller with suitable features.

Other purchasing considerations
1. Wheel style
Choosing a stroller with 360-degree swivel wheels makes turning easier, while elastic pneumatic tires provide better shock absorption. Can the wheels be detached?
If the tires can be replaced after wear, the product can be used as new. Do the tires have brakes and shock absorption? If the brake pads are installed on the wheels, it can make the braking system more reliable, easier to control the balance and speed of the stroller, and further ensure the safety of your furry friend.
2. Ventilated materials
The canopy or bag of the cabin must have mesh windows or vents to ensure pets inside can breathe and do not get stuffy.
3. Cabin height
A higher cabin can prevent pets from touching ground heat and dust; if your pet is afraid of heights or needs a sense of security, you can choose a lower cabin.
Conclusion
We believe that by understanding your furry friend's physical characteristics and preferences, and then combining them with the purchasing criteria above, you'll be able to find a suitable and safe pet stroller. This will allow you and your furry friend to enjoy outings happily and return home safely!
