1.  Ibayaya Hercules Heavy Duty Pet Stroller

ROADTEST RESULTS

The Ibayaya Hercules Heavy Duty Pet Stroller is a stand-out among large dog strollers for pets weighing up to 110 pounds due to its robust construction and the ease with which it handles a wide range of terrain including gravel and sand.  It features large air-filled pneumatic tires and alloy wheels which make it a dream to easily manoeuvre heavy dogs, even when jogging or pushing the buggy uphill, and a brake for extra safety. Not only is this unit uniquely compact and stylish for a big dog stroller, it is also exceptionally sturdy thanks to its aircraft-grade aluminium frame.  There is no need to lift your dog into the spacious carriage as most dogs can enter on their own through either the wide front or back zippered entrances which stand just 13 inches off the ground.   This stroller is well-ventilated and comes with a rain cover so that your fur baby is comfortable in all weather conditions. Its ergonomic design features a cushioned handlebar that can be set to three different heights for the owner’s comfort and there is a large storage pouch at the back.  Although the Hercules is a little pricier than some other heavy duty strollers, its rugged construction and smart design will ensure it stands the test of time.

The HPZ Pet Rover strollers have established a solid reputation as heavy duty dog buggies and the new 2019 extra long premium stroller is no exception.  Having improved further on what was already a great product, the new XL model offers even greater levels of spaciousness for larger pets up to 75 lbs with a convertible compartment that can expand to a huge 35 inches in interior length.  There is a large zippered rear entry which offers ample access to the cabin but the weatherproof canopy itself is zipperless and features sturdy quick-release latches that allow it to be quickly folded back into various viewing positions.  Your pet will travel in comfort over all terrains thanks to the puncture-proof rubber tyres which reduce vibration and the 360 degree swivelling wheels, which are equipped with front and rear braking system. The wheels come with a bonus 3-year replacement warranty and are easily snapped on and off the pram.  The lightweight aluminium frame is exceptionally strong as well as scratch and rust-proof and folds with a simple foot lever action.  Owner luxuries have not been forgotten either with features such as an attractive pu-leather covered handle that can be adjusted from front to back and plenty of storage compartments for shopping trips with your pup.

If your dog is on the larger side then the Expedition Pet Stroller may be for you.  It has the strength to handle animals weighing up to 150lbs and offers easy access to the cabin through either a front or back entrance which is low enough to the ground for your dog to simply step in.  Petgear is known for its zipperless technology and this stroller is no exception – just push a button to open the latch and your dog will be able to enter or exit the pram in seconds.  The back door swings open to one side and the cabin’s mesh cover folds completely up and out of the way leaving a flat platform for your pet to rest on.  The padded handle can be set in multiple positions for ease of use and there is a handy tray attachment with double cupholders and a compartment to store small items while out walking.  The wheels are made of plastic and swivel 360 degrees, making this stroller easy to turn and a good choice if you plan on travelling on relatively smooth pavements.  Each wheel is lockable and there is also a rear footbrake to secure your pet when stopped.  The mesh-enclosed cabin offers a panoramic 360 degree view for your pet to take in the world and larger dogs can pop their head through a zippered viewing hole.

An ideal pram for transporting multiple small to medium pets, the Ibabaya Elegant Retro 1 is also a great stroller for a large dog, such as a hefty bulldog, weighing up to 77.2 pounds.  One of the unique features of this carriage is a convertible 4-way hood that opens from both front and rear of the buggy and completely flattens or folds into multiple positions for your dog’s comfort and easy cabin access.   This means that your furbaby can be rolled along either facing you, facing forwards or with a fantastic 360 degree open air view.  Inside is a clever detachable padded liner that can be quickly removed and machine-laundered for hygiene. The Elegant Retro 1 lives up to its name with a chic look and it is also robustly constructed with strong oval aluminium tubing for longevity.   The pram boasts excellent one-handed mobility over a variety of terrains, including dirt and snow, having shock absorbers and large front swivelling wheels made from low-maintenance EVA foam rubber.  These can be locked into position and there is a rear foot brake for added safety.  The cushioned handle has a detachable cupholder and can adjust to different heights at the click of a button, making it ideal for jogging.  There is a generous basket underneath the cabin.

The Towerin Large Pet Stroller is another option for those needing to accommodate large dogs weighing up to 120 pounds.  There is no lifting required – dogs can enter the waterproof nylon and heavy duty mesh cabin on their own via the zippered front door which is less than 8 inches off the ground.  This sturdy, well-made unit steers comfortably with swivel front wheels that can be fixed if preferred.  There is also a single rear braking system for safety.  By removing the handlebar and manually folding in the sides the stroller can be folded down into a compact bundle for storage and transport.  Although the handlebar is not adjustable it is comfortably padded, and there are pouches at the back for storing essential items such as keys and phone.
