We adopted an elderly Australian Bull Terrier (30kgs) whose love of life and new places was huge but whose capacity to walk was very limited. Instead of calculating how far to walk before turning around (or racing back for the car) we were amazed at the possibilities the Ibiyaya Grand Cruiser Pet Stroller gave us. We had (relatively) much better and longer walks, covering more places our lovely dog enjoyed exploring. When arthritis pain kicked in she could then step into the stroller and be wheeled home in comfort, enjoying what became her expanded horizons. Easy to push, manoeuvre, and great height for her to enter. Always feels stable and safe over pavers, leaf litter and rougher surfaces. Wonderful product.
Beautifully designed stroller... beautifully constructed.
It has some drawbacks:
1) Not big enough for a medium sized German Shepherd female of only 30kg as the stroller is too short... most dogs have long bodies and so an extra 150mm minimum is necessary.
2) Even though my medium sized dog of 30kg is too big for this Grand Cruiser, we have to keep the canopy of the stroller up - a great option, allows for clear vision - but then the old girl falls off the side of the stroller. Generally an old dog has one better hip than the other and prefer to sit on either right or left side. Even a dog recovering from surgery could need to lay down. You will see from the photos that I have had to place a towel bolster to keep her from rolling off the sides.
3) The bed is actually a little slippery for an old dog. But I have folded a dog futon in half to put onto it.
4) The ramp is a must... because an old dog needs a backrest. Without the ramp, as the support, the weight of the dog on the back canvas area is a massive problem... The strain could split the zippers and her rear ended up in the gap that was created between the bed and bulging canvas ... The ramp serves to stop this.
5) Mind you the ramp has proved to be very helpful - more than I anticipated and it has a good non- slip surface on which dog will take to.
* Would I have purchased it knowing all the above??? ... Well, yes as there is nothing else on the market that is quality and can support the weight and is easily collapsable.
* Would it be worthwhile for Ibiyaya to design a longer stroller - YES (if you keep in mind a dog is MUCH longer than it is wide and this would reduce the overall weight of the stroller.
Unfortunately when my male Swiss Shepherd of 40kg is elderly, there is no way he will be able to fit on to the Grand Cruiser.
* Ibiyaya need to realise the length of a large dog's body and it's head height cannot possibly fit into the Grand Cruiser - fortunate that the canopy folds up.
It is a wonderful 5 star design for smaller sized dogs.
Pictures show that the girl is medium-sized dog and not a large dog... and that she needs to rest on one side when laying down... laying straighter is more pressure on hips.
