Is this a good stroller for gravel roads?

Yes. We love this stroller. We have ran several 5k races with this stroller on small gravel roads

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

Yes, it is a good running stroller. It would most likely be one of the better ones for off roads too, due to thick tires and shock system. It just isn't a good stroller for something like a stroll at the zoo because it is difficult to turn.

I have not used it very much on gravel; mostly street running. I have taken it to the park and it works well on the dirt and grass. I would think it would be fine on a gravel road. It is difficult to turn though.

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!

There's a different Bob's stroller for rugged ground ~ it has thicker tires. This is a pavement jogging stroller.

We ride ours outside up and down the driveway, and occasionally on the road. It can handle minor pebbles, cracks, bumps. I wouldn't go on a particularly rocky road, however, since the wheels aren't that big.

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 can go thru grass and fields no problem! I have the jogger double and this is my single stroller so they handle the same to me off road:)

I wouldn't recommend this kart for gravel. the wheels are hard plastic which enables it to drift easily but the gravel would chew them up really quickly, and i don't think you'd have much traction.

definitely. I've gone through grass, wood chips at the playground, gravel, etc. This stroller handles these terrains well. It's easy to push and it's a smooth ride for baby. This is a great stroller.

It might be okay for a very short distance if moved slowly but I don't think it would stand up well for prolonged use on a gravel surface. On paved surfaces it is great for the price.

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.

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.

It's really easy to maneuver and it would be ok on gravel if you were using it on the main rubber tires. However, using it laying down on all four wheels would be tricky since the smaller wheels would tend to dig in.

I used to live on a gravel road, so I understand. It should work ok, but not great. I don't think you'll find anything out there that will work better though. It definitely will be better than one of the tricycles with plastic tires!

Is is sturdy enough to go outside! That is where it is at right now, actually. We have a concrete drive, then gravel, and my daughter has loved pushing her "baby" in the stroller on both. Very study stroller.

I have done light jogging on smooth pavement with mine with no problems. That is not really what this stroller is intended for, but if you mostly use it for walking and outings and occasional jogging on smooth surfaces, I think it would work for you. If you are planning to buy this stroller to use mainly as a jogger, I would recommend you look at the BOB or the Baby Jogger Summit. Those can be both joggers or everyday use strollers.

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.

In my experience the tires are very durable, but they're also essentially slicks with no real gripping power. If the gravel is loose, traction on turns and hills could be a problem. Packed gravel or dirt should be fine... mud would be a problem, though.

Hi Laura, the Britax B-Agile stroller is more for everyday use on paved even surfaces from my experience, if you want a more off pavement type of stroller I would check out All-Terrain Strollers by BoB. This type of stroller is great for off-roading excursions, hikes, beaches and even the uneven urban jungle. Hope this helpsRocky

Yes I took the stroller to Argentina were the streets are cobble stone !!! I just recomend you be careful on packing it. My hook to keep it close broke on the plane trip .
