Measure before buying
Measure the narrowest space the folded stroller regularly needs to pass through: the boot opening, stairs, lift or storage area. Compare width, height and depth rather than relying on a single dimension.
Check the product weight too. A small packed size is of little use if the stroller cannot be lifted safely. Removable wheels may make the package lighter and considerably more compact.
A reliable folding mechanism
The mechanism should have clear locking positions and must not release accidentally while moving. When unfolding, the frame should audibly or visibly lock fully into place. Keep hands, fur and the lead away from hinges and scissor mechanisms.
Practise folding without your dog or luggage first. Engage the brake, empty the basket and remove loose objects. Lift the folded stroller only at the intended grip points.
Remove and refit wheels safely
Removable wheels reduce packed size and keep dirt out of the car. After refitting, pull each wheel gently to confirm it has locked. Briefly check the brake and straight tracking before the next ride.
Which MOON Dog model?
City is the most compact model for dogs up to 8 kg and narrow everyday routes. Country combines manageable folding with larger ETPU wheels and suspension for dogs up to 15 kg. Trailer Outdoor gives dogs up to 35 kg more room; its larger chassis naturally requires more storage space.
The product pages show current dimensions and weights. Compare them with your vehicle and, if unsure, practise lifting an object of similar weight.
Practical checklist
- Let your dog exit and engage the parking brake.
- Empty the basket and storage areas.
- Fold according to the instructions and check the lock.
- Remove wheels if needed and secure them separately.
- Restrain the folded stroller in the vehicle so it cannot move under braking.
