Could this stroller be used on a dirt road or the wheels not designed for rough surfaces? Thanks!

I would mostly use it on flat surfaces. I've tried to take it on rougher terrains and it shakes and rattles and is very bouncy. Doesn't do very well on dirt roads.

I have used this stroller on dirt paths and had no issues. It is smooth and much easier than a normal stroller.

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.

Yes it could they are hard plastic so you don't have to worry about them popping

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.

I agree that the smoother the surface the better, but it will roll better than a skateboard or scooter because it has a BMX tire in the front. The rear wheels would be a problem only if the surface is soft. The front wheel is no different than a bike wheel. A dirt road would not be a significant problem other than in comparison to smoother surfaces. Again, the front wheel is no different than a bike and rolls over things that would be a big problem for a skateboard or scooter. Hope this helps.

I did use this for longer walks, but I wouldn't recommend anything "off road". The tires are not designed for navigating dirt roads/trails or anything like that. But for sidewalk and indoor type walking (like in shopping malls), it works great. I used this stroller pretty much exclusively until my daughter grew out of the infant car seat.

I have pushed it over grass and dirt ok. Not the best steering stroller. One wheel has cracked but it is still on the stroller and the stroller still works.For the money I think it serves the purpose for our handicapped dog - who loves it.

I would think it would do ok. We bought it knowing some of our walking paths are not paved. The tires are not "off-road" but for mostly dirt I would think they would hold up for occasional off road trips.

I love this stroller. I do not use it in rough terrain however. I use it up and down super hilly streets with a thirty 35 pound three year old in it and it is a breeze to push both ways. So glad I purchased it. I have not found anything negative about it yet. I am going to get a rain cover for it next so we can use it even in the rain.

Obviously a paved surface is best but it would go on an average back country road. Would requie a little harder pedaling. Our grand baby age 4 flew around in the grass. We love this cart! Best thing ever!

I haven't used it on gravel (yet), but I wouldn't hesitate to. For what it's worth, I run on grass fields and some sidewalks that are in pretty rough shape, and the suspension handles those conditions pretty well. BOB makes an off-road version of the fixed wheel Ironman (I believe it's called the Sport Utility stroller). As far as I can tell, it's a hybrid of the Ironman and the Revolution: Sturdy, heavy frame and knobby tires of the revolution; larger, permanently fixed front wheel and hand brake of the Ironman.

I live on a gravel road and it does fantastic there. I love this stroller. I would highly recommend it for exercising. It's not great trying to maneuver through doorways or shopping places, however, otherwise no complaints.

I love this stroller. We walk on and off paved paths without a problem. And it is pretty light as long as you keep the tires aired up.

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 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.

I use it without the large wheels going to and from doctors etc and have no problem on pavement or sidewalks. Have not tried it in grass or dirt that way though.

We haven't but I think it would be perfectly fine on clean smooth pavement. Not good for grass or rough surfaces though.

Yes, I own a Posh and I have taken my little one for a walk around the park trail and the wheels are not made for the uneven surfaces. I had to push very slowly and gently but I love it otherwise. Hope this helps!

I agree with the others. The wheels are cheap plastic and do an ok job on the sidewalk. I would not think this is a good stroller for dirt trails.
