Does this go over bumps and cracks smoothly like a jogging stroller would with bicycle tires? Would it ride smoothly over gravel trails?

I would not use this as a jogging stroller over gravel paths. It wouldn't travel smoothly over those surfaces. I've used it on wood chips, gravel, grass, etc. And it's more if a challenge than on cement.

Gravel? Not at all. Sidewalk bumps? Sure. This is an "urban" stroller. Perfect for pavement, shopping malls, stuff like that. I take my kids to the park and it's fine going from the car through the grass/trail to the play area, but only in short bursts. We purchased a Bob jogging stroller for jogging and any "off-roading" that we do. The bigger, pneumatic tires are what you need for those types of environments.

Not that great. I wouldn't take it on long walks in those conditions, but NO stroller does good in gravel :)

It tends to spin out on uneven grounds but we just help it along ! If it's a smooth path it will do fine it does great in the gravel on the grass or on pavement !

I agree with the others. The wheels are cheap plastic and do an ok job on the sidewalk. I would not think this is a good stroller for dirt trails.

We have gravel roads and older paved roads and it is just too bumpy. The stroller itself pushes easily over the rough surface cause it is so light weight but at the same time the ride is super bumpy and kind of moves the baby around more than I would like. There are no shock absorbers or anything to make the ride on a rough surface smoother for the baby. When I think of dirt road, I think of something smoother so it would maneuver well and probably be fine but if it has holes or is rocky at all, you might want to consider something with some kind of shock absorber. Needless to say we stick to sidewalks and smooth surfaces. We have gravel roads and older paved roads and it is just too bumpy.

I like mine. The front wheel itself did not brake but the plastic holding it did nut they sent a new one. Also in the write up it states it can be made stationary but it can't. I use mine for jogging and biking. Biking works great on roads and trails jogging is best on trails. Walking in the road is ok but not jogging. But for price and durability it was a great buy.

Yes, my mother uses hers on uneven pavements and sandy trails. Pushing the stroller on these surfaces is a little harder and it's a bumpy ride for the dog. The item is lightweight and works very well on smoother concrete surfaces.

Despite the brand name "Baby Jogger", this isn't a jogging stroller, so it can be a bit bumpy on rough terrain. I've "off-roaded" a few times, but my younger baby has definitely given me some indignant looks about being bounced around!

I gave this Trike to my Grandson and he loves it. They have a grassy backyard where it seems to work fine, in spite of the uneven surface. He also rides in on the sidewalk, while not the same as pavers, there are numerous gaps and bumps which it seems to handle with no problems. I think the wheels are big enough that they should be able to handle pavers as well.

I have a smooth surface so I don't know for sure but there doesn't appear to be any obstacles to hinder it from moving over a pebble surface and the wheels are large enough to ride over good size pebbles.

I love this stroller. I do not use it in rough terrain however. I use it up and down super hilly streets with a thirty 35 pound three year old in it and it is a breeze to push both ways. So glad I purchased it. I have not found anything negative about it yet. I am going to get a rain cover for it next so we can use it even in the rain.

It is very smooth! The two small front wheels are not good for jogging however.

Does fine. It's wheels are relative small so if the street is bumpy, you'll feel the bumps.

I have this model and don't jog with it. Jog strollers typically have larger wheels made for fast travel on bumpy terrain. These wheels are smaller.

We just took the trike out for its first spin, so I don't have lots of experience, but I can tell you that the tires look very durable. They are real pneumatic tires of a sturdy-looking rubber. The design of the trike allows for some give, too which I think would help on bumpy pavement. Our neighborhood had lots of uneven brick and it didn't have any trouble. Hope this helps!

It is really smooth on pavement not good on sand as another reviewer stated. Did not do well on gravel. Overall it is a good buy once you figure out how to remove the tray. It's pretty well padded. It folds easily. It's a good price for what it is. Hope this helps!

I have not tried the stroller on dirt trails, but do NOT think it would be very good. The wheels turn fine when the stroller is empty, but put my 30 pound dog inside and sometimes it does not maneuver that well. It is fine for the airport, which is what I have used it for.
