Can anyone who has owned both the zip and no-zip models of Happy Trails compare the two? Thanks for your help!

The no zip model didn't work out for us because I fold it down 5 x a day & it has this special notch in front you have to undo each time, very inconvenient. The zip stroller is great & we love it however it comes undone every time you take your pet in or out & you have to restart the zipper each time. Hopefully in the future the company fixes this problem because it is inconvenient.

I have had both. The zipper was a pain. It had to be "started" each time and it can be tedious trying to get the zipper going. But it was really easy to fold. Just one button and done. This one that doesn't zip is nice because it is easier to quickly secure it but the folding situation is just ridiculous. The folding design seems like it was made for long-term storage or transporting once in a while But for any regular use the folding design is not well engineered at all.

Sorry but I don't know the difference. I bought the clip zip as a gift. If I find out I will let ya know.

Last night I struggled with this exact same issue when I opened a new bag. I never got it to zip back up. So if anyone has a tip please tell us.

I found this blog post that does an excellent comparison of the two models. Hope it helps others trying to make sense of things!<http://talesofamountainmama.com/review/kid-cos-new-2013-peapod-and-peapod-plus-comparison>

Hi, Thanks for your inquiry! There isn't much of a difference other than colour. However, only some of the Orange Models currently feature the vertical stiffeners at the foot of the bivy, where as all of the green models possess this new feature, which helps improve breathability. If there's anything else I can do, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks, The Gear Out Here Team

I'm sorry, I haven't used the Happy Trails, but FWIW I can offer some details on the Sportster. I find the three wheels to be effective and a little easier to control over curbs and grass. The larger-sized wheels (compared to the smaller Pet Gear model pictured) are very stable. You do experience vibration in the front wheel if you are walking quickly, however it's intended for jogging and with a simple snap of a button at the front axle the wheel locks and eliminates the problem. At the same time, when walking at a leisurely pace you would prefer the wheel to be unlocked and spin freely for more responsive control over those uneven surfaces. It DID fall over once (because of the three wheel configuration), but it was totally my fault- I walked away from it after knowingly perching it on a very uneven surface, balancing it between a level sidewalk and a grassy hill. Had I even set the brake, which works very easily, it wouldn't have happened, but ultimately it comes back to the fact that one has to pay attention. Personally, I couldn't be happier and will undoubtedly stay with the Sportster. it folds easily and is light enough for my wife to toss it in the trunk.

I haven't tried to zip in another bag but I do love this grizzly Plus 25 sleeping bag. Just used it last week and it was fantastic.

If you are familiar with the North face duffel bags, the mesh storage pocket on the inside cover of the bag is very similar to the mesh on the sleepy pod air. The only difference is the SPA has two layers of mesh whereas the duffel has one. As I've never seen a Sherpa bag in real life I can't say whether the sleepy pod is better or more claw resistant , but I'm sure it's not claw proof

Yes both zips, I had a litter of 9 Italian Greyhounds and they fit with room to spare. I also was able to use it as they grew up and then when I had 8 Italian Greyhound adults at one time, I put all of them in there for a holding pen.

I ordered one of these to zip together with the one I have. When I got it I found that it had a zipper end ... the part that does the zipping ... on each end of the zipper. No way will two be able to zip together!!!! I returned it.

I think the Magic model has more coverage. The canopy is also extendable. It has a zipper in the back. I have not used the Zip model but from what I saw of it online, it looks like its shade doesn't have much coverage.

The Clip + has a smaller display then the Zip. Matter of preference mostly. They both are awesome.

There's a lot of discussion about the advantages of the old version in the Amazon user reviews of both versions. I bought the (more expensive) old version and am happy with it, but never tried the newer one for comparison.

It has no zip, only elastic rim. It encloses a mattress on all sides and reaches over the sides to the bottom quite reliable. I do not have need to readjust it.

No single zip only. Still recommend the cooler tho. I only wish the strap was longer so I can throw it over my shoulder. It can only be hand carried.

Though it does not zip, I have not had an issue with it falling out. I also carry it in my tote and it's always intact when I take it out. Hope this helps.

I've never had a problem with the zipper but my Dog Haus is about five years old but it is my third one. I love them. The first one had a dog claw a huge hole in the mesh (he can't be kept in any soft crate, but the rest are fine in it). The second one got blown away in a micro storm (big tents ended 40' up in trees...). I've not had an issue with the zipper in any of the three tents, but not sure they still make them of the same quality...
