The friction it removes: the outing that ends early because someone's legs gave out.
Old dogs, small dogs, dogs a week out of surgery, cats who don't walk on a lead — none of them get a vote in how far you go. Half a mile in, someone sits down. So you carry an eight-kilo dog the whole way home, or everyone turns around.
He rides instead. He still comes; he just stops walking when he's done. Folded flat, it goes in the boot.
What we gave up: it's 6.95kg itself, and built for small and medium dogs. This is not a jogging stroller.
