How good is this stroller on different terrain? We are looking for a stroller we can use at the beach and go off road.

It depends... We live in Hawaii, so ours has seen its fair share of beaches. If the sand is somewhat packed, it pushes along like a dream. If it's loose and deep, you'll feel like you're pushing through quicksand. We've had pretty good luck 'off-roading', but I can see the ride being jerky for smaller babies. We've also encountered issues with burrs and thorns puncturing the tires. Now it needs a new tube.

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

We took our BOB on a cruise and on our beach vacation. It worked great on the sand as long as the tires are inflated!

its great on different terrain. Sand will always be harder though - much like like bicycle wheels.

I was told it wasn't for sand but I have 3 of these and love them!! I think in packed sand could be ok but walking thru sand dunes would be a struggle but it is to walk too!! Perhaps you could retro fit it to have good sand tires put on.,,, but they are wonderfulovong strollers just wist they were made for adults :-)

I bought this stroller when my baby was 4months old. He was supported and held in there well with the shoulder straps and seat recline. I didn't run with it as I read you shouldn't until the baby is 9months, but as for walking on off road terrain with some bumps, my son was totally supported and I felt beyond confident with the stroller. I would say if you are planning to walk with your newborn he/she would be fine.

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.

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.

No, unfortunately it is not. It is more of a mall stroller. If you are looking for an off road stroller I would suggest Bumbleride Indie, BOB Revolution SE or CE, or Baby Jogger City Mini GT. if you will only occasionally be going through grass I would suggest UPPAbaby Vista or Baby Jogger City Select. If you would like to chat about the various features feel free to call me. Best, Mary Elephant Ears 734.369.6038

If the path is hard-packed it works great. If the dirt is loose or sandy it is difficult. This stroller sometimes has trouble with the wheels not adjusting as fast as they should when encountering a slight difference in elevation or a rough patch. You must back up to allow the wheels to go where they need to be. Being a larger stroller, it is necessary to use two hands and even then it can wear on your forearms some if the terrain is a little rough or hilly.

hmmm depends on the sand I guess. wet compact sand would be no problem but "fluffy" sand would be difficult. But if any stroller could it would be this one.... its got rubber off road style tires.

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.

Not a great choice for either I would say... its not an offroad stroller, and its simply too large to be reasonable at a busy airport. I wont lie, this sucker is heavy and long. I would take measurements of your vehicle before you buy because it wont fit in some. That said for things like zoo days or parks with sidewalks, we absolutely love it. Our 4 year has some physical limitations and the back seat allows her easy in and out and lets her feel like a big kid without being strapped into a traditional mobility stroller. I completely endorse it, but you need to be aware this is probably not an every day kind of stroller.

The stroller is a bit too big for shopping. I generally use it for running and for walking trails (excellent for trails - a true off road vehicle). I've had trouble getting around inside stores when using my Bob and sales associates generally get a little nervous when they see you coming. It's so big that they think you'll knock something down. We have a compact stroller as well and they both have great features and benefits. For shopping, leave the Bob at home.

As commented, this stroller does well in different environments but is primarily designed for casual use. We would normally recommend our BOB strollers with more suspension for rugged terrain.

Hi. Did you two purchase the stroller? If so, I'd love to hear how you rate the stroller? Is it worth the price? Has it held up well over time? Any annoyances? Good customer service? Thanks!

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.

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'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.

Did you end up purchasing this stroller or a different one? I am in the same predicament and haven't decided. Concerned that my two kids, 2 years and 5 months, both 100th percentile, will outgrow quickly. Thanks for any feedback.
