Is it sturdy to use for long walks on the pavement around the neighborhood? I was considering a jogger (not that I jog a lot) but for durability.

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 !

Yes. We took it on a 5K run (primarily pavement) and it did well. Our son seemed comfortable.

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 :)

I wouldn't expect to jog with it for two reasons: 1) the tires are not inflatable bike tires like you find on jogging strollers so the ride is bumpy and 2) the front wheels turn easily enough that you would constantly need to course correct. It's still a phenomenal stroller, though it isn't necessarily built for that purpose. We opted for this one instead of the jogging stroller because we realized that running would be the exception of use cases for us, whereas everyday walking is the norm.

I have jogged with mine before but I would say no, the tires aren't designed to be used for jogging on all terrain. I love the quality and manuverability of the stroller and was a little afraid to cause damage by using it as an everyday jogging stroller.

Gravel? Not at all. Sidewalk bumps? Sure. This is an "urban" stroller. Perfect for pavement, shopping malls, stuff like that. I take my kids to the park and it's fine going from the car through the grass/trail to the play area, but only in short bursts. We purchased a Bob jogging stroller for jogging and any "off-roading" that we do. The bigger, pneumatic tires are what you need for those types of environments.

It strolls and maneuvers very easily. However, the wheels are hard so if the surface you are walking on is rough there will be air of vibration and I don't think the wheels would last long on a rough surface. Mine has had heavy use and has lasted through 1 baby and is now being used for a second baby so it is durable. I use a Bob stroller for our numerous long walks because the tires are like bicycle tires.

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 purchased this jogger for my daughter. She has a 3yr. old and 7 mo. old, daughters. She and her husband are long distance runners. I really don't know about your question, but the jogger is fairly easy to maneuver and quite sturdy. So, I could imagine it would work well for these activities you have mentioned. I do not have any other suggestions as my daughter did the research and chose this particular jogger.

I walk on it barefoot sometimes, but (along the lines of what Angela said) this is not a treadmill I would recommend using at higher walking/jogging speeds. I would ask the manufacturer about the actual specs of their cushioning system (if there is one) if you need details. In my experience, though... it is exactly as comfortable to walk on this treadmill as any of the expensive Precors at the local gym. A nice pair of shoes should suffice.

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.

Often in a hurry to plck up grandchildren from school, never had a problem with stroller with my 4 chihuahuas in it. Stroller is sturdy and strong. Dont know about jogging but wouldnt think there would be a problem.

We push our city select all over, hills included. It handles really well and feels like a smooth ride. I have not tried jogging with it as I have heard it is not ideal for jogging from a couple of girlfriends with the same stroller. We do walk fast with it with no trouble.

Are there any cons to this double jogger? I'm looking to use it with my 7 month old & 3 & 1/2 year old. I'd like to use it as my everyday stroller as well as jogger

Yes, it will last well outside. Remember that you have to attach it to the floor, or some other surface to hold it down in use.

I used it for my daughter's Autism walk last week and depending on how bumpy the surface you should be okay. We were pushing it on uneven sidewalks and the road. The grass was a bit tricky. Seeing as it's a heavier transport chair it was a bit harder to push than my daughter's old lightweight chair. She weighs 185 pounds but I needed a more durable 'meltdown proof' chair.

We have had this for over 3 years now and we have succesfully used it outside. It's a little worse for wear, and i certainly would not recommend it on pavement, but yes. Taking it outside is fine as long as it is not left outside.

Our sidewalks are pretty torn up, and it's held up for me, havent even had to fix any wheels on it. So you shouldnt have any problems at all :)
