Does this stroller have any type of suspension? If not, how smooth is the ride on a rougher trail?

It is very smooth! The two small front wheels are not good for jogging however.

The ride is quite smooth on sidewalks and my hardwood floor; however, when rolling it around on a city street, it can be bumpy. Calvin doesn't seem to mind that it is not a top of the line Range Rover though. :) It does not have shock absorbers. This 3-wheel version is less bumpy than the smaller, 4-wheel stroller we have for our littlest dog.

I've done some light jogging with it, but I wouldn't call it a everyday jogging stroller. It doesn't have trail tires and the maneuverability isn't what I would want it I wanted to job with it all the time. Mostly I do a lot of really long walks, mall and zoo trips, etc.

We only ever took it on the sidewalk and it was fine. No rough rides for baby. Not sure if you are talking about on the grass or something but we never went "off-roading" with it.

The seat base is smooth, not bumpy, it is stiff but the fabric on top gives enough cushion for my 30lb toddler. He loves his stroller, hope that helps.

My child is still an infant so can't answer this one yet. My sister has a 1 yr old and has the same stroller without any issues. We both got the GT for the all-terrain feature but still light weight. So I don't think it will be a big deal

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.

We have gravel roads and older paved roads and it is just too bumpy. The stroller itself pushes easily over the rough surface cause it is so light weight but at the same time the ride is super bumpy and kind of moves the baby around more than I would like. There are no shock absorbers or anything to make the ride on a rough surface smoother for the baby. When I think of dirt road, I think of something smoother so it would maneuver well and probably be fine but if it has holes or is rocky at all, you might want to consider something with some kind of shock absorber.

Actually so far just community park trails. But I'm 295# (one of the reasons I bought the bike, losing weight) and I love this bike. Suspension has worked fine, even with my size, though I did adjust it up right off. Having a few flats though .. thorns. Going to get a better tire for that issue.

I have this stroller and while it's definitely not as light and easy to push as a real jogger like the BOB, I've found that on a decently smooth city jogging trail (like the one close to my house), I can do a slow jog and push it just fine. And slow jogging is all I'm doing these days, post baby. :)

The clamp is tight, it doesn't have up n down movement but side to side will shift on bumps. I don't have experience with trail systems, but this is very stable to me.

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.

It is really smooth. It's awesome on wood floors and with the soft poly urathane tires it doesn't damage the floor. On sidewalks it's good and streets too. If the surface is level there are good times to be had but this is scary going downhill and uphill is impossible.

This stroller is not as shock resistant as a real baby stroller would be. It will bump over cracks in the sidewalk or gravel paved surfaces. But it certainly can go outdoors.

I am 6'3 and run with this stroller all the time, very comfortable handle hieght. Second question I can't answer as my kids are very you yet, but it does have weight adjustment shocks on the back so you can adjust the ride comfort for occupants of different weights very easily.

It's a champ. We take it around Georgetown regularly (full of crappy old stone sidewalks) and it bumbles around a bit but the ride is still surprisingly comfortable for the kid. Or at least mine makes no complaints!

My now 10y/o daughter has had no issues with it. She states it rides smooth on side walk (including uneven areas in our neighborhood) and asphalt road. She never rides it hard, i.e. racing. From my observations no safety issues with it.
