We'd like to go for walks this winter--and we may encounter snowy/icy sidewalks. How will this stroller hold up on that kind of terrain?

We live in Seattle and haven't encountered any snow or ice yet but it holds up well on slick rain surfaces. Even though it is a street stroller I have taken it to different terrains and it hasn't failed me yet. Seriously love this stroller!

We live in hawaii and just recently bought this stroller, but it's not that easy through grass. I would think it would be hard to push through snow.

I know this is kind of old but you can push it through grass and snow if you really needed to. Just gotta lock the front brakes. I forgot to lock them and pushed through snow, the wheels went sidewards haha. Not a terrain stroller for sure, it can't handle mud and I don't expect to go through any more snow than in a parking lot. That said it can handle a lot more than the simple umbrella that I got as a hand me down. The wheels are kind of a beast for this type of stroller. It works for me and I live in a rural area but I also have jogging strollers. It is much easier for smooth flat surfaces and it's easier on my back.

This is not an all terrain stroller. It is better for sidewalks, malls etc. It does great for those but I wouldn't recommend it for snow/ice.

Not the best for that. On very smooth pavement may be ok but my mom had a hard time on sidewalks. It's definitely more of an indoor device. Perhaps someone can fit it w better tires? Hope that helps

It holds up fine as long as you scrape the heavy snow off it. That is until the material degrades which in my case only took a few years.

We have taken the stroller on over 50 miles of walks with our dogs on sidewalks, grass, asphalt roads, and small rocky roads. While the wheels show some wear, we have not had one of them fail. I have also contacted Pet Gear Customer Service to order a backup set of wheels which are relatively inexpensive. I hope this helps.

Not so great in snow or ice. Snow tends to gather in the bottom treads, and that takes away any traction.

I think they would....I've walked on huge metal sheets covered in ice layer and had no issue... They grip very well and haven't had issues with them getting snow packed like with the coil style bottom tracks

Not sure about the snow, but I live on the gulf coast and mine is holding up pretty good! It is heavy duty and it is very nice, the picture doesn't do it justice!

This is the only stroller I've ever had, so it's hard to compare with other 'all terrain' strollers. However we have a very long gravel driveway and it's pretty smooth on it. As for big bumps, it does shake a bit when it comes to bumps, but again who knows how well different strollers can handle bums and pits. My opinion it won't handle jogging on a bumpy road, it has 3 wheels after all, so it does shake.

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 think there is no perfect answer. For city and walking on sidewalks, this is wonderful. It won't do well on rocks or uneven ground. I am happy?

My experience with the cleats has been great traction on ice and snow. I did not notice any slippage on cleared asphalt or concrete. However inside they are very slippery on hardwood and laminate floors so I recommend taking them off as soon as you enter a building.

Well it doesn't snow a lot here but when it does, it holds up very well. I've had absolutely no problems with mine. No regrets making this purchase.

Just bought it this summer, no experience with snow yet, but the frame is strong and it has a good pitch, snow should slide off.

I haven't used it in snow yet, but I'm sure it would be good. I've used it on grass, rocky driveways, wood chips at the playground, etc. It's a dream to push and the suspension makes it a comfortable ride for baby. I'm really happy I bought this stroller.

I have it on my truck non stop. I don't live in the snow, but it's rained and I take it thru carwashes often! I think it would hold up well, but don't know how much weight of snow it wos support. My guess is quit a bit! It's sturdy!

I've used this stroller on rough surfaces and it did fine. The tires are solid, not air filled, so you don't have to worry about getting a flat.
