How does this stroller do going through lots of snow? Has anyone had to use it in bad weather in snowy climates that can weigh in on this?

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.

As a Maine resident, we definitely have our fair share of nasty snowy weather. This stroller has sturdy wheels (that can rotate or lock in the forward position) and it navigates through slush and snow quite well. Love this stroller.

I have yet to use this particular stroller in the snow (I have used the BOB revolution in the snow and it was awesome) but I am confident it will stand up to the snow just fine. I use it at the beach and it goes through the sand without any problems. This stroller is awesome, you don't even need to use 2 hands to navigate it.

We live in Colorado and have only had snow and cold temps so far. It's very heavy duty. My only recommendation is that it runs big and we have high winds and it tends to blow off (even with the straps). I wish there were more straps. I've had to resort to large bungee cords.

We love this stroller and so does our 17/18 lb pup. The material is strong and put together well. I wouldn't say it is a real heavy canvas, but it isn't a light weight either. When I think of heavy canvas, I think of our old tent material or the totes, that I love from Land's End. This is a lighter material than either of those. We have used the stroller many times, in the good weather and when it has been raining....both times the material held up well and shed the rain. The ease of pushing the stroller is wonderful. We did add a piece of foam on the bed of the stroller, for more comfort. I hope this helps in your decision. We love this stroller and so does our 17/18 lb pup.

Hello Jennifer. We actually bought this specifically for NY during the winter in December. Walked through snow, slush and rain. Worked perfectly. Get the wind breaker for the stroller though.

I've filled my cart with groceries and rolled it along 3 or so blocks along brick, sidewalk, and cobblestone. I've only rolled it on 2 wheels rather than 4 (because the groceries were heavy) but it managed just fine through ice, a thin layer of snow and salt. I haven't tried it on rougher terrain i.e. Thick snow, but I think it's great!

I bought a Snow Joe 622U1 in 2011. I was impressed. I live in NE Missouri and do get snow, heavy and wet at times, and use it about 5 -8 times a season Not like a big, gas one, but it beats shoveling.. No problems until tonight (feb, 2014, 4th time this season.). I hit a chunk of ice and it broke a belt. I got my money's worth.

We have not had any significant snow since we have had the canopy. We have had it for almost 2 years now and is still doing great. Withstands strong winds very well.

I LOVE my Mountain Buggy, it is great in grass and all terrain. My complaints on it would be that when you are going off a curb or a tilt you have to be careful because it is 3 wheeled and easily can go from 3 - 2 if not careful. Also when the second child is still in the cocoon I found that the head was lower than her feet and therefor not super comfy for her, she was long also so her head was right at the back of the first seat. Now that they are both older 2.5 and 9 months I really like it and the child in the back doesn't ever complain. For 30 min running in the stroller I think it would be a great stroller. I always have people come and ask me about mine because it is the same size as a single and not bulky at all! Worth every penny.

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! :-)

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 do not know about snow but it was able to keep rain (heavy rain) off of baby. On a side note it is very bulky and awkward when the cover is rolled up and not in use. I would remove the arm cushion when it is not being used for keeping baby away from weather.

I could see some LIGHT jogging with this stroller. It is great for hauling 2 little ones around and getting in doorways. It is comfortable for the kids and even fits in the TSA scanner. It is heavy though and would have a hard time on rough terrain.

We haven't had any snow yet so that I can't fully answer, but it has held up really well against the couple of storms we have had lately. There have been at least three high wind/hard rain storms and it has held up great on the side of our house.

Well it doesn't snow a lot here but when it does, it holds up very well. I've had absolutely no problems with mine. No regrets making this purchase.

I've never drove a vehicle, so I walk everywhere. I used an umbrella stroller, which was rated as 0-3years, when my son was about a month old - ONCE - it clattered and shook horribly across the gravel parking lot. I put him in this at just over a month, and added a bit of extra padding, and it was a much smoother ride than any regular stroller. I walk, not jog, but either way, I still think this is less bumpy than a regular stroller.

I love this stroller. We walk on and off paved paths without a problem. And it is pretty light as long as you keep the tires aired up.
