Hey y'all what strollers for larger tripawd have you tried? Any reviews? Also have any of you tried the trailers you hook up to your bikes? How did they handle it?

Hello,
i have been looking into this as well. I have a front tripawd 65 pound Golden and i will soon be adopting a front tripawd 8 month old pit/lab mix. I figured they could alternate walking and riding. I have actually found a few human jogger strollers or carts on craigs list that i think i can make work with very little modification. Have you tried looking that route. I dont want to spend hundreds of bucks in case they dont like it. On craigs list they are $100-150. Look for the jogger stroller or cart that doesnt have the built in seats. Its more of an open cart. Most of them can switch between being a stroller or a bicycle attachment. As far as if your dog will like it i cant help with that. Im sure others have tried it and will chime in. Good luck!

We have not personally used an of these (yet), but have you checked the Tripawds Gear blog for the various stroller recommendations for Tripawds?
Xena's mom also provided this review which includes more recommendations:

I got a stroller for Cora a long time ago. I bought a cheap one because I was worried she wouldn't like it and didn't have much money. And, it was clearly cheap. I wouldn't recommend it. I would definitely recommend getting a more expensive one, new or off Craig's list. Having said that, Cora didn't like it at all so I didn't end up using it. She's mellowed though so I might actually try again.
