Has anyone tried running with this? How did it do? I see that there are shocks according to the demo video. How is it for grass and rocks as well?

You could run with it but it's quite heavy. It's a great stroller but it's bulky, you need a full size sedan trunk for it. But, it will handle all sorts of terrain, it's a tank.

It does not work well with running and can be difficult to navigate on rocks/grass.

We have used ours when we roller blade and it does just fine. As long as your on pavement you can go pretty good with it. As For grass...it will go as long as it is not tall..rocks...not so much.

I don't think it would be good for jogging... 1) it's heavy 2) the wheels are little in circumfrince for jogging... I wouldGo with a jogging stroller madeFor jogging with high reviews

I have never ran with this but have gone on plenty of walks. The shocks are okay but I would probably suggest a jogger stroller. It's a little tough to steer through grass and rocks walking. I cannot imagine at a jog or run pace.

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...

this chair will go up and down hills great. It takes more battery power so the battery may not last as long as advertised. I really haven't tried it on grass, but it does just fine on my carpeting. The chair has more than enough power. My husband is the one who uses it and I would recommend it for ease, size and weight. It has 4 speeds, and I recommend paying attention to them.. Makes a big difference

Update. ... im just talking to my sister and she told me that tree adults(including her) had a super time on it, there were going very fast and no problem or what so ever. Maybe the weight has to be at the back. Hope you decide the best...

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 :)

It does better on pavement but it handles ok on gravel too. The road in front of my house is gravel so I have to ride down it to get to pavement and I have never had a problem.

I would add that I have had mine only since Sept and it is broken; one wheel will not swivel and makes it hard to turn. It was used only inside. It works poorly on carpet, and I would not try it on grass, sand or gravel. Customer service refuses to assist me with a repair; I am going to talk to them again after the first of the year and if I get no assistance at that time, may report the problem to the safety agency.

I purchased this stroller for a girlfriend of mine. I asked her how it did on grass and gravel and she said it did great. I do know that she uses this stroller daily and takes her daughter for walks on walking trails, etc. I hope this helps you in your decision.

It does not run very well on grass unless it is very, very short, like turf. It is very fast and can sometimes get out of grass if say you just barely go off road and get back on pavement quickly, but it is so small with not much clearance, so it does not do grass very well at all. I would suggest a larger scale like 1:10 or larger if you plan on running on grass.

I have taken the stroller on a gravel track and it wasn't the smoothest ride but works. Works well on uneven pavement like if you have to go over bumps or cracks in the pavement.

This cart is one of my best investments as a mobile DJ. The larger wheels roll over most terrain with ease. I'm not sure about "all terrain" but i've used it on grass, gravel, and uneven pavement. If you are expecting harsher terrain, it may not perform as well.

My 5 year old grandson used it on grass but bounced around a lot giving it a lot of boy abuse. It's held up well, so far. In my opinion, it would not hold up well on an abrasive surface such as concete or asphalt.

I have used it, and still using it! It works great! I use it for plowing so I would say it gets used a lot, never had any issues with it!

It is an inflatable, so your not going to be able to ram a jagged rock at high speed and expect not to have a problem. Having said that, I have taken mine down a shallow river in E. Tennessee where I was rubbing smooth rocks virtually the entire 2 hour trip. At some points I even got high centered (due to the shallows) on top of a rock and had to sort of scoot off of it. This caused me no problem, as the rocks were smooth. I have also had a tree limb jab the top portion and managed not to puncture it. Generally, I would say that it is as good as you could reasonable expect from an inflatable.

I own both the Ironman Dualie and the Revolution Dualie (and coach cross country) and have found that the revolution is more run worthy than I thought it would be. I fun with the front wheel free, as the fixed wheel doesn't hold a line well, and the free wheel is so easy to steer, particularly with the heavier load. The only scenarios where I have minor issues are on routes with meaningful hills, as the revolution has no hand brake, and when running faster than 8 minute miles over bumps. If the front end comes off the ground at faster speeds the wheel drifts and when it comes down catches momentarily before straightening out, which causes a sudden deceleration. Not an issue at jogging speeds, but something to watch for. That said I trained for my first marathon with the Revolution. The Ironman is awesome for trails/off-road that's stroller worthy, hills, and for running on paved trails. I ran our neighborhood with it for two years and you adapt to steering with the front wheel up pretty quickly. In either case, keep track of your load weight and adjust the shock setting when you exceed 50 lbs.

I have used it on sand (beach) and rough terrain (tree roots/grass) and it has been great. Big wheels and good shock absorption.

I have only used for running and hiking. However, my understanding is that it would give you speed but not pace. there would be a settings change needed for this. Similar to the cycling mode.
