If harness will not work, how about the backpack carriers?

I have joint issues right now, so it needs to be something that I can push and is light weight. I have the stroller now, still have to set it up for the fids. My son was pushing it around the house today

I actually bought a doggie stroller from ebay today. It wasn't very expensive, so I'm giving it a try.

Let us know how yours works out, Barbara~

Thought I would post a pic. Mickey is only 18 weeks now, so he is curious about everything and nothing scares him. He took to it right away. Tigger is slowly getting used to it being in the same room as him, and it will be a while before I'll get him confortable enough to even think about putting him in. We jsut wheeled around the house praising him and i nfront of the door outside. He did really well

Now that is the cutest thing I ever saw! What is the perch and how did you rig it up, if you don't mind my asking. I bought a doggie stroller from ebay and I'm waiting to get it in the mail.

The perch is just pvc pipe with the perch wrapped in rope. It is actually part of one of the table top perches that I took apart. It fits in really tight so it is stable. The bottom of the stroller has a removable pad that is washable and I laid a towel on top of that.

I just took my baby Jezebel for her first walk in the doggie stroller I tried to rig up to be a birdie stroller. First of all, the perch I had installed across the stroller fell right down!

So Jezzie had to stand at the bottom of the stroller. She was ok, we visited a parrot friend of hers who was in his cage outside his building. Jezebel was fine until a large dog came too close. She got very frightened, and started crawling around on the mesh, making holes in it.

I finally decided to buy a small cage, and set that inside the frame of the stroller. Can't wait to try that out!
