Can this stroller handle snow and ice? (Can it handle poorly shoveled sidewalks?)

I bought this stroller for my grand baby so I sent the question to my daughter as she and her husband are the ones that use the stroller for the baby well shes 1 1/2 now :] My daughter wrote back, The stroller works great even pushing it in the sand is 10000 times better than a normal stroller. We take ours camping and through ice and stuff and it works fine...

The assembly was easy. The challenge is that the wheels are not really strong enough for outdoor use. I actually use it in my home as a stroller and to keep him in when I am cleaning the floors (so the cleaner doesn't get on his little paws). It is absolutely lovely. However, the wheels are just not good for sidewalks or outdoors.

The wheels are Ok on pavement and smooth surfaces. They do stick bit sometime and I don't think this would be the stroller to take out on trail.

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

We've taken it on packed gravel but it wasn't comfortable to push. I try to stick to nicely paved paths with this stroller because of the small front wheel that can't take too many bumps.

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?

Rubber wheels. It handles like a regular baby stroller. It's not heavy duty like a jogging stroller, so it's not meant for rougher use. But for walking on roads and sidewalks, it's fine.

Depends. Are you planning on jogging and or walking on trails? If so you would want a real jogging stroller that is built for that. On the occasional dirt road it will work. I love my mini but I mostly just use it on sidewalks. If you are looking for a stroller that can be and do everything I'm not sure it exists. But if most of the time you need a stroller that folds nice, offers a smooth ride under normal conditions, and fits in small store aisles then this will work for you.

Our sidewalks are pretty torn up, and it's held up for me, havent even had to fix any wheels on it. So you shouldnt have any problems at all :)

Since I gave this stroller to my niece in Pennsylvania where they have snow and ice all winter, I have to assume it works okay. But I don't really know. I've sent her an email asking her, but haven't heard from her yet.

It could because this does not have wheels. It slides on the surface and is made of plastic. I don't think it would do any worse then a snow shovel.

I've used it on gravel, grass, and sand. Never had an issue maneuvering it. Three years later I still love this stroller.

Honestly, it's a great stroller. I've had it on and off paved roads. Great stroller!

My girlfriend uses it with no issues. It is more the amount of snow you have to deal with. I find that it can handle about four or five inches. If you have more snow on the ground you have to work in layers

I would not use this as a jogging stroller over gravel paths. It wouldn't travel smoothly over those surfaces. I've used it on wood chips, gravel, grass, etc. And it's more if a challenge than on cement.

The stroller could handle the fields if they are not too bad. We live up north where there's tons of snow/ice making it rough terrain even going around the block! It does make for a rather bumpy ride though for the kiddo as the City Select does not have shocks for the seats like most jogging strollers do.

I bought it as an emergency shovel to keep in the car in case I get stuck in snow. I can use it to dig out around the wheels if necessary. I haven't had to use it yet but I believe that it will serve that purpose. I would not recommend it as a regular snow shovel for sidewalks and such. It is too small for that kind of shoveling.
