Is this a good choice for grocery trip runs? I am going away to school and am not planning on bringing a car

The solid metal bottom makes it great for groceries. You dont have to worry about dragging at all. I used it daily for a few months for hauling groceries and my two kids around until we bought a car. The cover is great with groceries in case it rains. It isnt completely wateeproof, but definitly water resistant. If you expect rain a couple rubbermaid containers will fit great on the trailer I have even moved furniture with it. You can remove the side and back bars.

I've used mine for jogging on pavement and it's great. You just lock the front tires and it's very stable and easy to steer. Also, this stroller does have suspension (hidden in the rear frame forks) so it's actually quite a comfortable ride on the run. Of course the suspension is nowhere near as much as a jogger would have, but even so, for simple runs on pavement I use my Vista instead of my BOB.

if you are planing on jogging in a city or town then sure. And if it's a park just make sure that dogs (or cats) are allowed and don't jog on the grass in the park. the item dose have two pouches. one for your water bottle and the other for what ever you are gonna put in there.probably a plastic bag just in case the dog needs to go :(. how ever if you're planing on jogging in the wood then i would not take this item.(some people jog in the woods with their dogs)

I weigh about 180lbs and will go about 10 miles at full speed on mostly flat terrain. I have thought about a spare battery, but have not found a good way to carry one with me.... I could imagine if I commuted to work or somewhere regularly keeping a spare battery to switch out.

I think you wouldn't have a problem transporting this to take shopping, either in the back seat or storage area of your vehicle. There have been comments previously about the purple covers coming off the wheels. That would be my only concern. If you would be rolling this across a blacktop surface (parking lot), it may cause the covers to come off or chew up the wheels. I didn't see a problem with the covers but since it isn't at my house, I may not be aware. Hope this helps.

I purchased this jogger for my daughter. She has a 3yr. old and 7 mo. old, daughters. She and her husband are long distance runners. I really don't know about your question, but the jogger is fairly easy to maneuver and quite sturdy. So, I could imagine it would work well for these activities you have mentioned. I do not have any other suggestions as my daughter did the research and chose this particular jogger.

No. It's good to fit your keys and ID. When I run Half Marathons I can fit 2 packs of sports Jelly Beans. I like it b/c it's a Lite Pack as advertised, not bulky or heavy when running.

Hi Kitty! I think the trailer is great for commuting but I'm not sure that I would do a long tour with it. It handles my 57lb dog just fine but I think I would want the quality, reliability and availability of parts if I was going to be out on the open road. It's a great trailer for the money but just not something I would trust touring. A Burley or something comparable would be money well spent if you can afford it. Happy Trails! Dan

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.

Yes, it's quick and easy to fold/unfold. I use it all the time for grocery, mall trips and general running errands. It has a large basket that fits bags/groceries. It also does awesome on walks through the neighborhood and has good turning base and large wheels. Very happy with this stroller!

I should probably preface my comment by saying I'm not super knowledgeable about bikes, but yeah I think you should be good as long as you're not planning on going off road. The portability of this thing is great. I stash it in my car and bring it up to my campus from the parking garage below every day. It unfolds quickly and collapses easily. Just keep in mind that the front reflected can snap off like a twig so be prepared to replace with another one.

I got it for my husband and he loves it. He's a substitute teacher and much prefers the shoulder strap so as to leave his hands free to carry other items. I'm a small woman and just tried it. I have handbags that are bigger, though maybe not quite as wide (from front to back is about 6"). It's well insulated. Hubby took a frozen entrée (such as Stouffer's) to work one day but didn't have time to eat it. When he got home, it hadn't thawed completely and I re-froze it. It has lots of room and can get a lot of items in it, plus pockets for smaller items such as snacks. I think it might be awkward or a bit difficult to carry if it's loaded up with heavy items, but for a typical lunch, it works perfectly. I got it for my husband and he loves it.

It's not too bad. I have a big purse, and it fits in there. I like it because of its different compartments. Nothing gets soggy anymore. And the entire stays cool without refrigeration. If you have a car to and from work, I would definitely get one. One would also fit in a back pack. Hope this helps.

I didn't use it for commuting on a regular basis but used it while biking on vacation. It is very small and not really heavy duty. But if you're just carrying some light stuff, should be good.

I think it would be way too big for that. The cart is large and somewhat heavy for folding and lifting onto a bus. It is perfect for the beach because it can hold folding chairs, blankets, coolers, towels, etc. I would not recommend it for groceries.

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!
