Just wondering how 'all terrain' you have found this to be? Is it smooth on gravel and rocks? Can you take it jogging &amp; have it handle some big bumps?

This is the only stroller I've ever had, so it's hard to compare with other 'all terrain' strollers. However we have a very long gravel driveway and it's pretty smooth on it. As for big bumps, it does shake a bit when it comes to bumps, but again who knows how well different strollers can handle bums and pits. My opinion it won't handle jogging on a bumpy road, it has 3 wheels after all, so it does shake.

I've taken it on brick paved areas in NYC - it does pretty well, but it can be a little bit of a bumpy of a ride. My little guy doesn't seem to mind though. The wheels are pretty durable plastic. If you're looking to off-road it, go with a jogging stroller with big bike-tire type wheels. Although for travel purposes, this stroller does fold up easy and is fairly light weight, unlike jogging strollers.

I saw a brief video (perhaps @ the vendor's site?) which had a nice demo. Near the end of the "run" just do a little "fling" up. I find it works great with dry or wet snow. Just did a search - this demo looks good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9GgYKtBE9Q. PS: I also got the gravel attachment. Hope this is helpful. All the best. Pat

Hi Gary, I had a spare piece of 2x4 (about 22 inches long) so decided to test this. Initially, I heard some squeaking, but I adjusted the placement of the 2x4 more towards the front of the machine and that stopped. I noticed a very slight wobble side to side but it seems stable enough. I do just walk at the moment, so I'm not sure if the wobble would become more pronounced if you jog / run/ Even with just a 2x4, the incline is noticeable when compared to yesterday's 'workout. I'm loving the incline - thanks for the idea!

I have not used it very much on gravel; mostly street running. I have taken it to the park and it works well on the dirt and grass. I would think it would be fine on a gravel road. It is difficult to turn though.

It rides very well on grass, however, if the ground is not fairly smooth you will feel every bump. I say this because I have spinal problems and that causes me to move very slowly on grass. Slow speed makes a bump easier to tolerate.

I have rolled it along on grass that is between smooth and rough and it has done well. Look out on side walks etc. you get up and it takes off if your on a slant. I can scoot it along on most of my surfaces. I love my wagon it is the second one I have bought. I gave my other one to my neighbor and it is still going strong.

It is really smooth on pavement not good on sand as another reviewer stated. Did not do well on gravel. Overall it is a good buy once you figure out how to remove the tray. It's pretty well padded. It folds easily. It's a good price for what it is. Hope this helps!

I have walked 5km on gravel with no problems.when I jogged on gravel I didn't lock the front wheel.i know you are supposed to but I didn't just because of the rocks, again no problems at all. Hope this helps!

Hi, Yes love this as a jogger. I spent a month researching since these things are so expensive and have been very pleased with this model. You lock the front tire for jogging and it handles great. Absorbs bumps well too. I have a 26 lbs French bulldog and you end up with a great arm workout as an added bonus.

It does really well on smooth surfaces. When in parking lots, etc., you do need to watch for bumps, as it can catch and potentially topple. This almost happened only once, as I watched closely after that when leaving parking lots to go onto sidewalk ramps. I am still very happy with it and feel it is superior to other similar products, having researched several brands before going with this one. I also saw other people in the doctor's office using a knee walker that really looked inferior to mine.

Yes, it is very sturdy. it has a wide wheel base and the back wheel fenders keep wetness and dirt off your pant legs when the ground is wet. Not sure it would be good for jogging. If you jog you may want to get the jogger because it would be designed for that purpose. I like it a lot !

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 like it for running. The wheels are good if you run where it isn't too rugged... My sister has one and disagrees. She says her feet hit the bar on the bottom when she runs. She's shorter than me, so I guess it will depend on how tall you are. I love it though. Hope this helps.

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.

It is pretty easy to maneuver even with 4-5 kayaks on it. Especially on smooth surfaces. Not so sure about rocky/bumpy surfaces. Can move it loaded through grass OK. weight well balanced on the rear axle.

I would use it everyday. It is definitely a smoother ride than other non-jogging strollers. I found it good when going over brick sidewalks & other rougher terrains. As you mentioned that you live in the city & may have limited space, it would be good to take a look at one of these strollers in the store as it does not fold up as compactly as other strollers. That's mainly due to the larger wheels.
