Khaki is the lightest of the three finishes, and there is a practical argument for it beyond looks: pale fabric holds far less heat than black in direct sun, and a stroller basket sits low, catches reflected warmth off pavement, and can get warmer inside than the air around it. On a bright day that difference is real for a dog who cannot get out of it unaided.

The frame does the rest of the work. Four wheels, two of them braked and mounted on shock-absorbing hardware so the ride over kerbs and paving joins stays smooth. The Oxford cloth basket carries mesh panels front and side for through-draught, the canopy adjusts across three positions for shade or shelter, and a rain cover is included for when the day turns. Two interior leads clip to a harness so a dog who spots a squirrel stays where they are.

• Suitable for dogs under 10kg and up to 38cm; frame rated to 15kg
• Opens to 80 x 44.5 x 97cm; folds to 85 x 44.5 x 28cm
• Carrier area 59 x 34cm, 52cm high with the canopy raised
• Three-level canopy, plus front and rear rain covers
• Two braked wheels with shock absorption
• Under-basket (44 x 34 x 26cm) and zipped pouch

On hot days, whatever the colour. No stroller is a shaded spot. If it is genuinely warm, drop the canopy back for airflow rather than closing it in, and keep water with you — the mesh panels only work if air can actually reach them.

Who it's for: Small-dog owners walking in bright weather, and anyone who wants the lighter finish without giving up the rain cover.
