Have any of you had success taking this stroller on "non-active" outings, like to the mall, stores, etc.? A little concerned about the width...

i've had no issues with the width, and haven't found a door that it doesn't fit though, other then very old bathroom doors. it fits though a standard door way. my mother in law used it for 8 weeks as her everyday stroller well i was in the hospital. she took it everywhere.

Yes! I have a minivan, so getting it in my trunk isn't an issue, but the front wheel easily comes off to make it more usable in a vehicle with a smaller trunk. It does fit through doorways, but just barely.you have to push it straight in, carefully! I love it for indoor malls where you don't have the go in and out of small doorways, the zoo, the fair, taking walks, the playground, things like that. It pushes so nicely, and I put all three of my kids in it, because one can sit over the front tire. I wish I had just spent the money on this stroller from the beginning, instead of buying the cheaper ones to try to fulfil our demands!! Yes!

A quick search showed triple strollers available on EBay, at Wal Mart and Target (online only!). I would try to find one in a store to "test drive" however because the longer they are often makes them more difficult to drive.

The stroller folds more compactly without the lock in place. This allowed us to take it on a road trip. I used a measuring tape, which gave me these measurements: 17" in width (across the seat area), 12" deep (folded, from the wheel to the handles), and 31" in length (after easily removing the front "crash bar"). My daughter will be three next week, and I still take it for errands, etc., for the same reasons I did two years ago. Namely, the basket is great for a trip to the market, a walk, etc., the sunshade is fabulous in most(!) conditions (except full-on afternoon light), and the seat is deep and high enough for a growing child.

I'm not sure i threw mine out after I was don't with it. It was a awesome stroller and fit perfect threw ales at the stores. I'm 5'2 and it strolled perfect to and compacted well for my car. This one was the best double stroller I found there's another one I liked to it was pretty compact a side by side one and it had the reversible seats to. If your interested in the brand etc I'll have to look it up just send me a message crosscountrygl@yahoo.com subject:your name and stroller information

Not really. You kind of need a handle extension to keep from tripping over it. Works great for going to the mall, but I wouldn't use it at a theme park all day, or for jogging. It might attach better to different strollers, but ours is a double stroller and I have to step pretty shallow to avoid it. Not a full-stride kind of extension. Our toddler lives it though! He feels like a big boy (we have 5-mo twins)!! Not a bad buy, but more often than using this, we just push two strollers. PERFECT for when alone though. ;-)

It is not good as primary stroller. Specially if you live in the city, it is too heavy and bulky. It barely fits in toyota Camry trunk. Front wheel came of in 3 months, called them and have been waiting for replacement over 45 days. So I purchased lightweight one and boy what a difference. Going up and down stairs is so easy. Shopping became easy too. Although, i miss it when i got into the parks or hiking. Next, car seat attached is low quality and became too small in just 2-3 months.

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 is going to sound stupid but i'll say it anyway. The front end of the stroller is so light that you can push down on the handle and lift the stroller off the ground while you jog. I do it all the time because of the wobbly non-lockable front wheel. I'm not fond of it. But it is what it is. Other than that, I think the stroller is a good one. Just can't have kids that are too big (about 4 yrs old is max) because the belts don't allow for large kids, nor is there much leg room. My 4 yr. old boy (sorta big for his size) and slightly tiny/thin 2-1/2 yr. old girl are shoulder-to-shoulder in the stroller. Good thing they don't fight too much.....

The width should be in the description but to answer the rest of your question, yes, it is very easy to navigate. My daughter walks, jogs, runs and this stroller has been a life saver for her. She has a wild two year old and he loves it.

I would not consider this strollers compact in it's opened or closed form. It's quite large.

Not that I have found. Chicco should get on that though. It seems to be the #1 disappointment in this stroller. Besides that, I do love my activ3.

As much as I love this stroller, it cannot fold for travel. You can break it down but it's really not meant for quick fold and go.I think there are some out there that have that feature but of course they are a bit more in price.

I don't use it for long walks. I feel the older, and heavier my kids get the harder the stroller is to push and turn. And I don't think my kids would be comfortable in it for a nap. I use my mountain buggie duo for long walks and this for the mall or travel. I love it as my double umbrella stroller.

It works great at the mall/zoo. It is wider than a regular single stroller, but I never had a problem maneuvering it around stores and at events. I love this jogger!

Nop I usually used the stroller with the car seat when I go shopping bcs if you put it on top of the shopping cart it might slide so becareful

I never actually saw the stroller as I bought it for my granddaughter. However, we did return it because it was really lightweight and tipped very easily. I asked my DIL and she said it would not be suited for rugged outdoor play. Hope that helped.

You are very welcome :) I use it on my second baby and still love it. I hope you find a stroller you are happy with! good luck!
