How would this stroller do on a gravel driveway?

It is not very rugged. Perfect for sidewalks but I am not so sure about gravel.

It's going to be bumpy and the wheels might have to be replaced sooner than you think.

Although I can't say for sure how it would do on a gravel driveway, I have had a few pet strollers over the years (including a couple from Pet Gear) and found that rolling them on more rugged surfaces was not good for the stroller. The wheels became misaligned and made it harder to steer the stroller.

It might be okay for a very short distance if moved slowly but I don't think it would stand up well for prolonged use on a gravel surface. On paved surfaces it is great for the price.

I have a dirt driveway. Not gravel but certainly not paved either. My 1800 Power Curve has not been a problem. I have learned where specific embedded non-removable rocks are and have learned to avoid them easily enough. Hope that helps.

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.

This wagon will roll over gravel easily. I have found it very helpful in moving my son's equipment, etc. from the parking lot to the ballfield at his games.

Yes. I have used it in grass and on dirt and gravel driveways at a fairgrounds. It rolls well on the main rubber tires but when you set it down on call four wheels, the smaller wheels tend to dig in and may get a bit stuck.

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. Needless to say we stick to sidewalks and smooth surfaces. We have gravel roads and older paved roads and it is just too bumpy.

I have a long gravel driveway and it works well. Better than a snowblower in my opinion. Just have to be sure not to go too deep and pick up the loose stone. A little practice is all it takes. I usually leave a thin layer of snow when I do my drive.

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 have used on gravel driveway. It works great just keep it up so your not picking up stone.But may be small for a driveway..

I haven't used it in snow yet, but I'm sure it would be good. I've used it on grass, rocky driveways, wood chips at the playground, etc. It's a dream to push and the suspension makes it a comfortable ride for baby. I'm really happy I bought this stroller.

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.

I would not use this on a gravel driveway since it will throw the rocks & stones like a lawnmower.

Tammy,I have this stroller for my maltese, and it's great !! Rolling on gravel or pavement is no issue :)The ONLY complaint is folding quickly...I have a little trouble , my 14 yr old son can do it swiftly! So it's most likely ME VRS the stroller! My maltese loves the conscience of strolling EVERYWHERE with us instead of being home ! Hahah

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 :)

Is is sturdy enough to go outside! That is where it is at right now, actually. We have a concrete drive, then gravel, and my daughter has loved pushing her "baby" in the stroller on both. Very study stroller.

definitely. I've gone through grass, wood chips at the playground, gravel, etc. This stroller handles these terrains well. It's easy to push and it's a smooth ride for baby. This is a great stroller.

We've used ours on our driveway/sidewalks and not had any trouble. If you have hardwood floors, just be sure to wipe off the wheels bc any grains/dirt that embeds in the rubber wheels tends to scratch the floor.
