does this stroller work well on sand/at the beach? Any recommendations?

Have not used it on sand or at the beach, but I do know that it works great on grass and dirt roads! Hope this helps.

For a beach, I can't say. However, I have gone through sand and it works just fine. I would think it would handle it okay?

I haven't used it at the beach, but I have used it in really sandy conditions in NM. It's challenging to push through sand, but it's doable. It prob does better than other strollers because the wheels don't pivot, however I wouldn't try to go very far - it'd be exhausting. Wet, packed sand would be fine!

I have used it on sand with a 23 pound baby inside. It is slow (except where the sand is packed, near the surf) but infinitely better than a normal stroller, which gets stuck immediately.

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.

Yes, our family has used it at OBX on both the ocean and sound sides and it moves easily compared to other beach devices we have used. We have also used it at our grandkids soccer games to cart everything from car to the fields as well.

Hi. It should work quite well on sand. In fact, the beach is where you may find all sorts of metal keys, coins, etc.

The wheels are plastic like most umbrella strollers, so it's not going to be smooth like a jogging stroller on cobblestone. Much much lighter than any jogging stroller, though.

It does not pull good in beach sand. I hate mine. On solid ground or street its great

Yes, it's a very nice not too heavy stroller that would work on average sidewalks and roads.

Definitely! We went everywhere with the stroller, I originally bought it because I felt the tires were more sturdy than most strollers. I never had any problems .

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.

That is exactly what I use it for. It's the only stroller I have! It's a little heavy compared to a cheap umbrella stroller, so the loading in and out of the car trunk is a little heavy (esp. if you're pregnant like me), but definitely doable. I use mine for errands as well as exercise walks (and very slow jogs) around my neighborhood. I take mine with me everywhere.

I live in warm and sunny Los Angeles so I may not be able to help you out here. However, I do take this stroller to the barn a lot -- and I noticed when the terrain is not smooth -- full of dirt, sand, etc., the wheels do get stuck because they're so tiny. From what I've been told, if you frequent a non-smooth terrain (like, snow), you may want to opt for the strollers with bigger wheels. That's my uneducated opinion. Good luck! :-)

I have taken the stroller on a gravel track and it wasn't the smoothest ride but works. Works well on uneven pavement like if you have to go over bumps or cracks in the pavement.

I have and it worked great on the sand near the water but was difficult on the deep loose sand. However, much better than any other stroller- it still pushed through the deep stuff.

I am not sure about a beach, I do know the cart is fantastic. Whenever I go out with it, several people always ask, where did you get that?! It is extremely sturdy with lots of room. I am not sure how it would do on beach sand though. Probably very well with a little extra effort. You may have to actually share the carry burden with your beach buddy to get to that perfect beach lounging spot. But on all other surfaces? It's fantastic. Cannot go wrong with this cart. I did have one problem when I ordered, it was delivered missing 2 small pieces of hardware. Sandusky overnighted them to me and it was super easy to put together.

I have not used it on sand but have used it on bumpy trails and grassy areas and it worked very well on both. It is very easy to handle and my granddaughter loves it

I do not know about the beach. I only use my on solid surfaces. I am not sure if the wheels are big enough for beach sand.

I purchased this stroller for a girlfriend of mine. I asked her how it did on grass and gravel and she said it did great. I do know that she uses this stroller daily and takes her daughter for walks on walking trails, etc. I hope this helps you in your decision.
