Can this stroller handle snow and ice? (Can it handle poorly shoveled sidewalks?)

I bought this stroller for my grand baby so I sent the question to my daughter as she and her husband are the ones that use the stroller for the baby well shes 1 1/2 now :] My daughter wrote back, The stroller works great even pushing it in the sand is 10000 times better than a normal stroller. We take ours camping and through ice and stuff and it works fine...

I'd say yes..once you get the handle turning. You do have to hold it down with. Your other hand. It does make very good snow, for a great price.

I think the wheels are fine. You can't wait until 6 inches of snow has piled up. If you get out there with it after 2 or 3 you can move the snow very easily.

The stroller could handle the fields if they are not too bad. We live up north where there's tons of snow/ice making it rough terrain even going around the block! It does make for a rather bumpy ride though for the kiddo as the City Select does not have shocks for the seats like most jogging strollers do.

Yes. I have had it out all winter long. Lots and lots of snow and ice here no issue at all. It handled it beautifully. It's a wonderful item. No problems with it.

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.

not super well, the wheels can slip a little bit, however, I simply put some grip tape that you can buy here on Amazon or at a local hardware store and it solved the problem. It works great outdoors on the sidewalks though without the tape

Snow caster works well on cement sidewalks !!But it will only move the light new snow not the hardened snow banks from previous shovelling. Not advised on gravel driveways ;( It can be done but with a lot of jolts !!Dead stops when your pushing ;(

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

Yes! I just used mine last night to walk with the baby downton to the Christmas parade. This stroller is not set up to be a 'jogging stroller' with bike-type wheels for off-road jogging or anything, but as long as there is pavement or relatively smooth grass or dirt surfaces, you are fine. I highly recommend this piece of equipment. We have really loved ours.

Yes. We bought this stroller a few months back. Although it is BEAUTIFUL, I disagree with the responders below. It sucks having to put pressure down on the bar all the time to lift the wheel. My elbows, wrists and arms hurt after a while. We live in the Bay Area - lots of turns and twists on trails and streets. Will likely be selling this model VERY soon. Not happy. One bit.

This stroller is not as shock resistant as a real baby stroller would be. It will bump over cracks in the sidewalk or gravel paved surfaces. But it certainly can go outdoors.

This snow blower does have wheels. Small ones in the back. It's not difficult to maneuver as long as the snow is not too deep. It can handle up to 6 to 8 inches OK, more than that will probably require a couple of passes. It's single stage, but it does throw the snow a good distance; it's direction of blowing the snow is easy to adjust and it does fairly well for a single stage blower. You should not have too much difficulty clearing your deck. Weight wise, its not to heavy to handle just make sure you use a heavy duty extension cord and keep it cleat of the blower.

I've never had any troubles with the bulk and I live in a city with very narrow sidewalks. It maneuvers and handles so easily that I can cut the tightest corners on the streets, stores, etc with one hand no less. It's definitely much larger than an umbrella stroller but smaller IMO than the massive gracos I've seen around.

Not the best for that. On very smooth pavement may be ok but my mom had a hard time on sidewalks. It's definitely more of an indoor device. Perhaps someone can fit it w better tires? Hope that helps

Depends. Are you planning on jogging and or walking on trails? If so you would want a real jogging stroller that is built for that. On the occasional dirt road it will work. I love my mini but I mostly just use it on sidewalks. If you are looking for a stroller that can be and do everything I'm not sure it exists. But if most of the time you need a stroller that folds nice, offers a smooth ride under normal conditions, and fits in small store aisles then this will work for you.
