Would this be a good idea for the inside of a dog stroller when walking around on hot days?

It would work fine if the dog is going to stay put. But if the dog is leaping about, the claws might rupture the membrane. It's designed to be walked on, then the dog lays down and goes to sleep. Four paws with claws leaping about would probably cause an early failure

I do like it but I think it would depend on how hot. At least take cold water along too

I think so. I was planning on using mine for when we are out at ball games and have my dog lay on it .

I am not sure mine is indoors> I think it could handle the heat or cold. just not the rain or snow

I don't think so, at least not any hotter then a stroller, bed or any other place you would put an infant. It has a very soft cover, and my grandson also had a head and side support insert because he's so small. He seemed very comfortable in it when it was 85+ degrees with no air conditioning.

I have not owned it during the winter, but I do not think it will be very useful as bugs are not a concern and the sun is not as much a problem. Because of the side vents, I do not think it would keep the baby significantly warmer in cold temperatures.

I think you could place this anywhere and it would work great. Very stanle and hood texture for walking.

In my opinion that your dog is a little heavy for this stroller. I would get a carrier like a pull along luggage case. Best regards, and good luck.

If your stroller is similar sized to the car seat, you could use it for both. I preferred a blanket in the stroller because the seat wasn't as warm as a car seat.

I live in Minneapolis which also gets quite hot during the summer. (No lake effect, ya know?) Anyhow, there are flaps on the sides and the flap up top which can be opened entirely, or have a mesh cover. The end result is that even if I leave my dog in the carrier to run into a gas station, the temp inside the bag doesn't really get any higher than the temp outside the bag.

No, if it's hot outside it will not keep it cool inside. The main use for it, is to circulate the "stale" air inside with fresh air from outside. It makes it significantly more bareable but definately not cool.

Well, it's on wheels. If you aren't worried about it rolling off, seems like there would be no issue. But why would you want to? The unit more resembles a radiator than a heat fan. The warmth will reach you, regardless of its position.

Putting a bag on the upper parts of the stroller could make it tip which is why they advise against it. It's rather lightweight which is good for getting it around. I have seen a bag that baby jogger sells that installs along the side. We either store a thinner bag under or carry a larger diaper bag putting it in the stroller when our 2 year old wants to walk.

I think this would be as cool as any seat on the market -- as with all car seats, hot if you leave your pet for any amount of time in a car on a hot day. The cover is kind of silky, and the cushion is suede on one side, and wool on the other. You could buy a baby's crib sheet and put it around the cushion to make it a little cooler of a fabric. I like it because it keeps the dogs secure when I am driving, and it puts them at window level so they can see out.

My pet stroller has been great. My dog was biting at the mesh, but it is still in tack. I love it. My dog is a 12 pound Shih Tzu

It doesn't make my dog hot and she always has a dress on. I believe it can be use in the summer and winter. Because i use it when i go to the mall and they have the AC very high. It also has soft cotton on one side and flat material on the other side.

I use this indoors so I don't have any experience with it outdoors! I would think the elements outside might break it down over time! It's pretty enclosed on the inside so I would think this would get hot on the inside with only airflow through it's one entrance/exit doorway. But with a little alterations like cutting out a window on each side & in the back that would the give u the airflow your looking for. If you know someone that is good with power tools to make the window cutout it would be an easy fix.

I believe that might work, its very expandable but be warned, there is no ventilation other then that little opening where the top comes together and the thing is quilted and that for hot. I also dislike that there is no way to close it down entirely, that vent hole is big enough for a small dog to slip out, a mesh closure there and more ventilation would make that bag much more usable.

I personally don't think so, at least not the way it's meant to fit. Its a pretty big piece of material and my concern is that it would be too long. If you're a DIY-er, you could bring in the bottom and add more ties (the bottom ties taught with two strings that are sewn in each side). I use my cover everyday, it is awesome, protects my kid from the sun, wind, cold, rain, and doesn't look cheap. It'd be well worth the effort of making it work for you, or getting a different stroller. I use it on an inexpensive, baby trend jogging stroller.
