How well does the stroller fit most sidewalks? some side by sides take up more then the sidewalk, how is this one?

I've walked with it on a regular sidewalk on the side of the road and it fit just fine.

I have no problems on the sidewalks. If you're planning on using this for toddlers you may want to look into one of the other styles. This one has no cup holders, and the bar across the front of the seats is really flimsy.

I have had no problm with sidewlkd. Sometimes in storrs displays ate sometimes close together

I haven't had any problems. That's the main reason I bought the stroller because I had read they fit through most doorways and are not as wide. I love this stoller!

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.

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

It works well on sidewalks, a bit of rough going on grass or gravel. Turning radius not the best. Terrific in stores. Gives you freedom to go much farther than with either a walker or crutches.

My daughter loves her that I bought her. And yes it's not a "jogging" stroller. But it's great for average sidewalks and roads.

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.

It works great at the mall/zoo. It is wider than a regular single stroller, but I never had a problem maneuvering it around stores and at events. I love this jogger!

The wheels are plastic like most umbrella strollers, so it's not going to be smooth like a jogging stroller on cobblestone. Much much lighter than any jogging stroller, though.

I purchased this stroller for a girlfriend of mine. I asked her how it did on grass and gravel and she said it did great. I do know that she uses this stroller daily and takes her daughter for walks on walking trails, etc. I hope this helps you in your decision.

I live in warm and sunny Los Angeles so I may not be able to help you out here. However, I do take this stroller to the barn a lot -- and I noticed when the terrain is not smooth -- full of dirt, sand, etc., the wheels do get stuck because they're so tiny. From what I've been told, if you frequent a non-smooth terrain (like, snow), you may want to opt for the strollers with bigger wheels. That's my uneducated opinion. Good luck! :-)

We live in Seattle and haven't encountered any snow or ice yet but it holds up well on slick rain surfaces. Even though it is a street stroller I have taken it to different terrains and it hasn't failed me yet. Seriously love this stroller!

Yes, I love this stroller. (I have only ever used this as a jogging/walking stroller, I have never used this as a bike trailer.) It's really easy to handle, and I like that it holds my 4'1", 60 lb son with ease.

i have a boy and a girl and i own the countours tandem stroller and i love it i never go anywhere with out it... ohh and have i said my boy was 11 1/2 months old when my baby girl was born??? he didnt walk or anything ..... i use my stroller still and baby big girl just turned 2 the last week of july and baby big boy turned 3 the second week of august...they are 351 days apart.... so we live in texas and we have several outdoor things here yearround so i love that the wheels just go on all types of ground or pebbles and rocks , concreate, dirt, mud, grass... and i have a 1st cousin who lived in colorado and she has the same exact stroller , she loves hers too..... now it is a little bigger than some but not to much for me ..im 5'7" tall and usually around 165lbs.... im not a small woman or a large woman im not pettite in any way and i do have 3 feet of legs so that may make a difference but i drive a ford fusion and it goes in and out easily. now the only place i have ever run into something or someone is at the peds. office but i have seen women do it with the umberella strollers .... so .... the biggest problem i have heard about from moms of multipuls is about side by side strollers they dont fit through doorways or mall isles or any isles actually...... hope this is helpful , feel free to email me at kednb@aol.com if you have any questions about this stroller including if you want actual pics.....

It's really not very good on rough or rocky terrain, although locking the front wheel will help a little (but that makes it harder to turn), and it's better than most strollers - I have yet to try ANY that are good for rough or rocky terrain. It's a beast just to get it up/down curbs and wobbles a lot, so best to stick to smooth surfaces. As long as I stay on pavement/sidewalks, it's a dream and I can handle it with one hand. If I'm going off-road for walks and hikes, we use the Kelty backpack instead :)

After using mine every day for several weeks, I have found that my 30 lb toy aussie tends to sit or lean on one side or the other, which creates a bit of a stability issue when walking on roads with curved edges. 4 wheels would work better, however I do like this stroller over all.

I do love this stroller. We have coyotes in our area, so I take the stroller on our walks just in case I quickly need to place my 22 pound Schnauzer inside. I have not kicked the stroller with my shins. I am only 5'4", so I can't help you on the bending over issue. This stroller has held up over the years and miles.

I mainly use it for sidewalks but occasionly go on a slight dirt path and it does ok. It's definitely more for pathed walks though.
