Dog Falls Backwards In Chair?

[TropicBrat]

Hi ,
I purchased one of these chairs a few months ago and its seems great except for the fact that when my dog isnt walking ... and goes to rest of sit he falls over backwards.. is there some kind of stopper for this... he cant constantly be oving hes 13.5 yrs old...Please help! he is a german shorthair pointer (lg dog)
Thanks

Do you have the leg struts angled backwards or straight up and down? If they are angled from front (top) to back (Bottom) then it is harder for your dog to go over backwards.

I am not noticing any differnce in the 2 dogs carts... Please help? and Thank You

See how the upright struts are angled to the back? In most pictures they are straight up and down, perpendicular to the ground. This dog fell backwards, also, until we angled them back. There is a sort of dial that allows you to rotate the struts up to fold the cart, that also allows you to angle them back.

ok i see the difference ... can u please instruct me as to how to to this.... that would be great if i could let my dog stay in chair for more than a few minutes without catchin him... thank you so much

It should be in your instructions, but basically when you unfold the leg you go to a position further back than you probably did at first. I can't remember exactly how that works as I don't have a WW cart here, but it wasn't very hard to figure out. Someone from Walkin' Wheels can probably give you more detailed instructions.
