Overview

The Travel Lite Plus arrives ready to use with no assembly required, and it folds down to a compact 15.5 x 11 x 23 inches for storage or car trunks. The metal alloy frame weighs about 8 pounds and uses a breathable mesh seat with a 600 denier nylon fabric build, and it rolls on a total of 6 wheels with a 6 inch front wheel diameter for handling curbs and rough sidewalks.

It is rated for pets up to 15 pounds and uses a tether-only harness rather than a clip-in harness, plus a locking brake system. Pet Gear backs it with a 30 day non-transferable limited warranty.

At $96.98, it holds a 4.5 rating across roughly 4,800 reviews, one of the larger review counts in this category, though it shows no units bought in the past month on this listing. It also ranks higher among dog strollers than cat strollers on Amazon's category rankings.

Performance notes

The metal alloy frame and breathable mesh seat are built for a compact, foldable design rather than a heavy-duty jogger. Six wheels with a 6 inch front diameter help it roll smoothly over curbs, and the tether-only harness is a simpler restraint than a full clip-in harness, so it is worth checking that fits your pet's comfort with tethers before buying.

What buyers say

A 4.5 rating from about 4,800 reviews is one of the largest review bases in this category, showing a long track record of buyer satisfaction, even though the listing currently shows no units bought in the past month.

Frequently asked questions

Does this stroller require assembly?

No, Pet Gear designed the Travel Lite Plus to be ready to use with no assembly required once it arrives.

What is the maximum weight it can hold?

It is rated for cats and dogs up to 15 pounds, so it works best for smaller pets rather than medium or large breeds.

What kind of harness does it use?

It uses a tether-only harness system rather than a clip-in harness, which is simpler but worth checking against your pet's comfort with a tether-style restraint.
