Ibiyaya makes one of the widest ranges of pet travel gear we stock, and it can be genuinely confusing to work out whether you need a stroller, a carrier, a backpack or something else entirely. Here is a decision guide across the actual lines we carry, so you can match the product to how you and your pet actually get around.
Strollers: for longer outings and pets who cannot walk far
A pet stroller makes sense when you want your pet along for a longer walk or errand, but they cannot (or should not) walk the whole distance themselves. Our stroller range spans a big weight bracket:
- The JetPaw 3-in-1 pairs a stroller with a removable carrier pod, so you can wheel to the vet, unclip the pod, and carry your pet straight in without disturbing them mid-ride. It suits cats and small dogs.
- Larger dogs are covered by strollers rated up to 30kg and 50kg, built with a low chassis and wide entry for easier boarding, useful if your dog cannot easily climb or jump.
If your dog is closer to the top of a stroller's weight rating, it is worth checking the listing for the specific kilogram rating before buying. This range spans small lapdog strollers through to genuinely large-dog capable prams, and they are not interchangeable.
Carriers: for shorter trips and vet visits
A carrier is the right call for shorter trips: the vet, a car journey, or anywhere your pet needs to be contained rather than walking or riding upright. The Classic Eva Carrier is a lightweight, easy-to-carry option built for exactly that kind of trip. For something more versatile, the 5-in-1 Combo transforms between carrier, stroller, car seat, backpack and shoulder bag, a genuine all-in-one travel system if you want one product that covers multiple jobs rather than buying a carrier and a stroller separately.
Backpacks: hands-free carrying
Backpack-style carriers suit hiking, public transport, or anywhere you need both hands free while still carrying your pet. The range includes options for cats and small dogs up to larger dogs:
- The Champion 3-in-1 is a carrier, backpack and car seat booster in one, rated for dogs up to 12kg, with structured support and ventilation for longer wears.
- Lighter, more compact backpack carriers suit cats and smaller dogs who mainly need shorter hands-free trips, such as a café visit or a train ride.
Stairs and the portable ramp: helping pets get on and off gear
Two accessories solve a problem the carriers and strollers themselves do not: getting your pet in and out safely, especially if they are older, recovering, or simply cannot jump.
- The Everest Pet Stairs is a collapsible set of steps with a soft, non-slip cushioned surface, rated to support pets up to 20kg, described by Ibiyaya as great for injured or elderly pets who need a boost onto a couch or bed.
- The Portable Dog Ramp is made specifically for the Grand Cruiser stroller, assisting senior or less mobile dogs to get on and off from the rear opening. The listing notes it is designed to relieve the weight burden on the owner and help protect the dog's spine during entry and exit, rather than lifting a large dog in and out by hand.
Both are worth considering alongside a stroller or bed purchase if your pet is ageing, recovering from an injury, or simply smaller and less able to manage height changes on their own. As always, consult your vet if you are unsure what your pet can safely manage.
Matching gear to how you actually get around
A quick way to decide:
- Regular long walks with a pet who tires or cannot walk far: a stroller sized to their weight
- Occasional short trips, vet visits: a lightweight carrier
- Hiking, public transport, hands-free days out: a backpack carrier
- Getting an older or smaller pet on and off furniture or into a stroller: stairs or the portable ramp
- Want one product for everything: a combo unit like the 5-in-1 or JetPaw
