We bought one half a year ago. Used it many many times so far. We took the cats out to local parks, we live in crowded city. They ride in the stroller until clear of kids dogs and such and we let them out on a leash for short walks/climbs. Anytime they feel threatened by dogs or we get bored because they are too slow, they are back in the stroller. The one I bought is almost $200 but worth every penny. It is good for rough trails. If you are committed to taking your cat out, get it. I also find that take them to new park, they will sniff new plants rocks forever, very slow. Take them to parks they been before many times, they will run, like 100 meter dash.
