How do I know if my dog fits in the City Hopper?
The interior dimensions of the cabin are 50 × 30 × 47 cm and the weight limit is 12 kg. This suits most small breeds, such as the Maltese, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Toy Poodle. Always measure your dog's back length and chest width – if you are on the borderline, feel free to contact us and we will check the measurements together.
Can two small dogs travel in the same carrier?
Yes, as long as the combined weight stays within the 12-kilogram limit and both have room to turn around. For example, two Chihuahuas or Pomeranians can travel comfortably side by side when secured in their own harnesses and you ensure the leashes do not get tangled.
Can the City Hopper be used as a carrier bag?
Yes. The carrier detaches quickly from the frame, and the included shoulder strap makes it a convenient carrier bag for vet visits or train trips. Choose lightweight accessories so the total weight stays within comfort limits for a small Shih Tzu dog or Ragdoll cat.
How do the stroller wheels perform on city cobblestones?
The 5-inch EFA wheels roll smoothly on flat streets and withstand light cobblestone surfaces without bouncing. The small wheel size makes turning easy in shops and buses – perfect for a Yorkshire Terrier’s shopping day.
How quickly can the stroller be folded for a small apartment?
The frame folds into a 55 × 54 × 20 cm package in seconds, and the 7.2 kg weight is easy to lift into a closet or the back seat of a car. This fits well in an apartment building closet or a small city compact car.
Is the City Hopper approved as carry-on luggage on airplanes?
The carrier’s dimensions are close to many airlines’ pet limits but vary by company. Always check the requirements of your chosen airline in advance and ensure your dog can stand and turn inside the carrier.
Is additional rain protection needed?
The carrier’s mesh canopy keeps light drizzle away, but in heavy rain we recommend a separately sold rain cover tailored for the City Hopper. This way, a Bichon Frisé stays dry even if the sky surprises you during a walk.
How is the City Hopper secured in a car?
There are openings in the bottom of the carrier through which you can thread the car seatbelt around the carrier bag. Place the carrier on the seat, tighten the belt firmly, and ensure the dog is in a harness – this way, for example, a Cairn Terrier travels securely even on winding roads.
Will an active puppy stay safely inside?
The closable mesh roof prevents jumping out, and inside there is a loop to attach a harness with a short leash. This keeps an energetic Parson Russell Terrier safe even if a squirrel darts by.
Is the push handle ergonomic for leashes of different lengths?
The 96 cm high handle suits most users between 160–180 cm tall without awkward wrist angles. The soft foam padding adds comfort when you walk your trendy Bichon Havanais through downtown streets.
How cool does the carrier stay during summer heat?
Large mesh panels on three sides allow air circulation, so a small Jack Russell stays cool. Partially unzip the canopy zipper and add a cooling mat if temperatures exceed 25 °C.
How is the City Hopper cleaned?
The padded bottom of the carrier detaches and withstands a 30 °C machine wash, and the exterior can be wiped with a damp cloth. Regular cleaning keeps a Rottweiler puppy’s toy hair and mud out of the fabric seams.
Is this a good choice for socializing a puppy?
Yes – the rolling carrier provides a safe nest for the puppy to observe the world without overload. This way, for example, a Papillon learns new sounds, smells, and people calmly in a shopping mall.
Can cats travel in the City Hopper?
Absolutely. A Maine Coon youngster or Bengal enjoys the 47 cm high carrier with good visibility through the mesh windows. Secure the cat in a harness and close the roof carefully for a stress-free trip.
What colors and accessories complete the City Hopper’s look?
The charcoal gray frame is timeless and suits Scandinavian style. Boldly combine a rose gold harness, neon yellow reflectors, or a pastel-colored fleece blanket – a lively contrast makes evening walks stylish and visible.
