does this function well/easily in rough or rocky terrain? I will only be walking, no running or jogging. child is 2 and on the taller side.

It's really not very good on rough or rocky terrain, although locking the front wheel will help a little (but that makes it harder to turn), and it's better than most strollers - I have yet to try ANY that are good for rough or rocky terrain. It's a beast just to get it up/down curbs and wobbles a lot, so best to stick to smooth surfaces. As long as I stay on pavement/sidewalks, it's a dream and I can handle it with one hand. If I'm going off-road for walks and hikes, we use the Kelty backpack instead :)

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.

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.

I just tested it out at BRU today and the seat would work with newborns as it lays almost flat, although I'm sure they would have the standard cautionary warning that you cannot use it while jogging until around 12 months. I would check their website for seat compatibility.

Have not used it on much uneven ground it will function on unlevel ground ok by just turning the legs to fit terrain. seems to function as well as the more costly ones.

Nathan, I really recommend this stroller, it is easy to carry and fold, my kids like it because the seats can flip backwards or forwards. I am very satisfied with this stroller because I can go where I want to go with it. Sure you can use it for running, it worked for me and my kids enjoy the ride.

Personally I do not run/jog but I'm trying to imagine if I did and I think it would be great for that? I love mine a lot, I wanted one strong enough to go on hiking trails and it works great. The handle itself is as tall ad a kids stroller. I'm also 5'6" Hope this helps some :)

It can take the weight, but you're going to want to plan on venting heat somehow - it's somewhat breathable, but both you and the one-year-old are likely to throw off a lot of heat on any significant hike. It'll be fine for a light-to-moderate hike in a cool climate, but too much for strenuous hiking or hot weather.

I have used this stroller on dirt paths and had no issues. It is smooth and much easier than a normal stroller.

It pushes very easily, but if you are running on a gravel road that might be a really bumpy ride for the kids. Just walking it'd be perfect!

No, i would have to say it's more for flat terrain. Uphill would be extremely hard for children & if they were to slow down the least bit it would get away from them and roll backwards.

I would not recommend if for jogging... wheels are too small for that kind of activity and although it steers well for its weight you wouldn't be able to do it single handed. As for the tires... i'll second the previous post and add they are HORRIBLE! I hope someone is listening at Mountain Buggy...

It's not really designed for running. The wheels are hard plastic, not rubber. It's more a jogging style look as opposed to function

It collapses easily but is quite cumbersome even when collapsed. Not ideal for travel. We travel from Michigan to North Carolina frequently. We have one at home and one in North Carolina. LOVE the jogger, but honestly, it's best for running, hiking, walking. The fixed front wheel is perfect for runners but can be difficult to maneuver if you're trying to use it for shopping, errands, etc. We keep an inexpensive umbrella stroller in the car for that reason.

Not really. It's good for walking on an incline but I'd look around for a better one. This one seems to be weak in the rear for running.

Baby's not born yet, so have not tried. But it does not appear to be designed for running (it has small wheels).Hope that helps.

If the path is hard-packed it works great. If the dirt is loose or sandy it is difficult. This stroller sometimes has trouble with the wheels not adjusting as fast as they should when encountering a slight difference in elevation or a rough patch. You must back up to allow the wheels to go where they need to be. Being a larger stroller, it is necessary to use two hands and even then it can wear on your forearms some if the terrain is a little rough or hilly.
