The Best Dog Strollers

✔️ BEST FOR: Anyone with a small or medium dog, or two toy breeds, looking to regularly stroll.

✔️ WHAT TO KNOW: This smooth-rolling three-wheeler can hold one dog up to 25 pounds, or two tiny dogs up to 25 pounds total since there are two tethers. The zippered basket, storage console and two cup holders are useful features.

✔️ TESTING NOTES: The bed, to our human hands, feels comfy and springy. "I've pushed baby strollers and this is totally comparable," said a tester, who used it with a 19-pound Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. "The dog loved it."

This has a large and sturdy basket. You can't just reach into it; you'll need to bend down and unzip a zipper at the back to access the space. The nice part about that is nothing can fall out when you zip it back up. There's also a useful pet parent console with two cup holders and a storage compartment that clicks shut.

A mesh window in the canopy makes it easy to check in on your dog as you roll. We found folding this lightweight stroller to be fairly easy, though it did take a minute to learn the process. Our only hiccup was the assembly; you must insert two pins into the back wheels, which takes good eyesight and dexterity. (You might need to phone a friend!) Even with that, it came together in less than 15 minutes.

✔️ BEST FOR: Bargain hunters with a small or medium dog (or two tiny dogs) who want to spend under $100 and don't need extra features on their stroller.

✔️ WHAT TO KNOW: The bed itself is small (only 19 inches long), but it's nearly 10 inches deep and can hold up to 30 pounds. Two tethers mean you can put two dogs in here. (They'd have to be pretty tiny though!)

✔️ TESTING NOTES: If you're nervous about assembling a stroller, this one is no sweat. We were able to snap the wheels on and have it ready to go in about four minutes. For such a lightweight stroller (at 11 pounds), it rolled well and turned easily while our tester was walking with it, thanks to its swiveling front wheels.

Our 20-pound tester dog enjoyed lying in this and peering out the front mesh panel. The Frisco brand is a Chewy exclusive, and Chewy customers reported that using this dog stroller for French Bulldogs and similar-sized pets.

The detachable cup holder is fairly loose, so our tester used it for a water bottle only. ("I would not trust it with a cup of take-out coffee," she said.) The storage basket is shallow yet fits several dog toys. Folding the stroller is a bit awkward but once folded and locked, it's slim and easy to store.

✔️ BEST FOR: Pet parents who want to exercise with their dog, or those who want to push a heavy doggo weighing up to 50 pounds.

✔️ WHAT TO KNOW: A dog stroller with large tires and a front wheel that can be locked is ideal for running or jogging with your pet — extra exercise for you, and a fun outing for them. Because of the robust tires and frame, you can take a medium-sized or fairly heavy dog in this, as long as it's less than 50 pounds. That means this is also a great choice even if you only intend to walk but you have a chonky dog who weighs more than the 30 pounds that most regular dog strollers can hold.

✔️ TESTING NOTES: The 15-inch rubber tires on the back provide a smooth ride over most terrain, including grass, making this good for hikes too. But beware, as with jogging strollers for kids, the bike-like wheels add weight and size. They're also air-filled, so it comes with a tire pump.

This is zipperless; a mesh window rolls open and closed and the top latches for entry and exit. There's plenty of mesh ventilation along all sides for breathability and a panoramic view out the front, even as your dog is secured inside. It comes with a safety strap to use around your wrist and the handlebar height adjusts.

The wheels pop in for fairly easy assembly, and there are storage pockets on the back. There's also a long, low storage basket underneath.

✔️ BEST FOR: Pushing a small-size dog (or two). If you'll also be driving your dog around frequently, the bed becomes a car bed.

✔️ WHAT TO KNOW: Little dogs can ride up high with this new dog stroller called the Tinker. The bed detaches to double as a car seat or carrier. It's not small enough to, say, fit on a plane, but it works great for rides in the car. It snaps on and off the stroller frame, like a car seat does for babies.

✔️ TESTING NOTES: This is a brand-new model so there aren't many online reviews and we haven't been able to test it yet, but we've road-tested previous Ibiyaya strollers and have liked how they perform. We especially like that this one has privacy shades so you can really shield a scared pet, like at the vet, but you can also open them up to mesh sides that pets can see through, if that makes them happier.

The actual bed is on the smaller side, which is why we like this for small dogs. That said, since it can hold up to 33 pounds, you could also fit a medium dog or two small dogs in this.

✔️ BEST FOR: Strolling large breeds, or hitching a stroller to your bike and pedaling your dog around.

✔️ WHAT TO KNOW: Are you looking to stroll a big and heavy dog? This is made to take a large dog on outdoor adventures and can be hitched to a bike or pushed like a doggie jogging stroller while you walk or run. This stroller only has one tether, so it's meant for a single rider.

✔️ TESTING NOTES: A tester in Cape Cod takes both her dogs to the beach, but one trots happily and one (Teddy, shown) is a grump, so the sour guy rides in this stroller. Thanks to the air-filled tires, the Booyah can do well on rough terrain.

Another advantage of this kind of stroller is it's low to the ground, so if your dog is too big to lift, you can help them step in — the dog bed is about a foot off the ground. The brand's extra large dog stroller can fit up to 110 pounds or, if you've got a smaller dog you want to take on bike rides, Booyah also makes a mdium dog bike trailer.

A sun-roof panel zips open so your dog can stick his head out of the top (truly adorable). The wheels can pop off so you can load it in your vehicle to get where you're going. Ideally you can store this large dog stroller in a garage or shed, or on a covered patio.

✔️ BEST FOR: Two tiny (17 pounds or less) dogs who like to ride separately. The brand also touts it for cats or bunnies!

✔️ WHAT TO KNOW: Other choices on our list have one bed with two tethers and can hold two dogs, but with this model, each dog has their own separate bed. The beds detach and can be used as carriers.

✔️ TESTING NOTES: Some online reviewers had trouble with the initial assembly directions, and the frame is not as robust on this stroller as some others — it's more like a grocery cart in weight and feel than a baby stroller. It works, though, for small, lightweight pets (each pet can only be up to 17 lbs). A good number of online users said they use this to stroll cats, and it would also work for one cat and one dog.

As carriers, these work well, and each has a long strap you can wear over your shoulder. They can also function as car beds. The mesh sides provide plenty of airflow and a view.

✔️ BEST FOR: This could be a worthwhile investment for people who drive often with their dog in the backseat.

✔️ WHAT TO KNOW: Tavo's high-end modular system functions as a stroller, car seat and carrier, and is comparable in quality to a premium baby stroller. It was designed with Nuna, a popular baby stroller brand.

✔️ TESTING NOTES: The Roscoe pet stroller has the smooth wheels and easy steering you'd want from gear with this price tag. The "pod" that your dog rides in, the Maeve, clicks on and off the stroller frame. In car-seat mode, there's a stability leg you can use and clip-on side impact protection. The brand says its dog car seat benchmarks against United Nations ECE child-restraint standards and is even crash-tested (for dogs, not children), labeling the whole thing a "pet protection system."

Our tester, however, only used this as a stroller. "We are training a puppy and this is helpful when she gets tired," they said. " There's a plush mattress and also two machine-washable mattress covers, plus nice details like leatherette trim, a pet-parent organizer on the handle and both a short and long tether for the carrier. This model is for medium dogs; Tavo also makes a set for small dogs.
