Does the foot brake lever slide down and start to engage from shaky bumpier ground?

No I have never had a problem with the brake lever. We have used it on a gravel road even. I really like this stroller and think its great!

I live on a gravel road and have used this stroller several times on it. The brake has never engaged on its own. We have been very pleased with this stroller and would recommend.

The brake seems to work fine. I have not really needed to use it much - just to slow down if I get going too fast in the grocery store or something. I just haven't needed to use it. But the few times I have used it, it stopped me without any trouble. I had read that maybe dual brakes would be better, but this one has been just fine for me!!

Yes, very smoothly on ball bearings. Also kind of locks in place when pushed under.

Yes, but at some point soon it will start to rattle and drive you crazy. You also will need a speed reducer.

Yes. You just hold down on the pedal with your foot and it stays up no problem. We are very happy with this trash can.

It has rubber stops on the bottom of all four legs. It is very sturdy. It should not slide.

Speed is controlled with a rotor dial on the top.. I'm not sure about a foot pedal

There are "handle squeeze brakes" that only lock the wheels when squeezed till you hear a click. You an slow your pace, if that is your question.

Yes it does. It's a slide on clamp attached to the brake and has a hex head for adjustment.

Loosen the lever. The shoe/plate should drop down (pivot). You might have to force it the first few times if it is tight. Mine was easy to do.

No. One sets the brakes with gentle downward pressure on the brake handles. Then, one releases the brakes by gentle upward pressure on the brake handle. The release is a little like a squeeze, but only when releasing the brake.

Check that the reverse lever at the back is in the correct position, it gets knocked easily and causes it to stop/ back up & get ruined.

Not really, it closes as you release the step peddle. So, if you just remove your foot the top would drop down; but if you slowly release the peddle the top would slowly close.

I (Eleanor's husband) ride with my special needs son. Between the two of us we have a little over 300 lb. on the bike. The brakes are similar to a standard one person bike so no it will not stop as quick because of the weight. A matter of physics. I have my brakes adjusted close so I can give a very hard squeeze if necessary. I can keep the bike under control going down hill although I do want to upgrade to better brakes because braking is more work than I like. Also added rim tape before using.

Double check the installation or return. Ours go down smoothly with the lever while sitting on it.

The brakes when squeezed is not going to make the bike stop completely and instantly while going down hills, however it does have a strong enough brake to stop the bike while going down steep hills.

Not sure, I had to mount my boards on the highest setting for my feet to fit under the brake lever. After a test ride I had to adjust them down a little for comfort, but I never had a problem with them hitting up against anything. Sorry but good luck to you!
