I want this stroller for everyday use, but I also want to use it for the rough terrain at soccer fields. Is this a good stroller for both?

I feel like it is great for every day use and still be ok on a soccer field but will be a rough ride.

No, you need one with proper air tires. These tires don't do well on bumpy surfaces.

Despite the brand name "Baby Jogger", this isn't a jogging stroller, so it can be a bit bumpy on rough terrain. I've "off-roaded" a few times, but my younger baby has definitely given me some indignant looks about being bounced around!

The stroller could handle the fields if they are not too bad. We live up north where there's tons of snow/ice making it rough terrain even going around the block! It does make for a rather bumpy ride though for the kiddo as the City Select does not have shocks for the seats like most jogging strollers do.

Yes, the stroller works great on short grass like a soccer field as long as the terrain is mostly flat and not to bumpy.

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'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 think so. This is a great stroller! If you pack lightly, I think it would be great! It is durable, lightweight, and easy to maneuver.

I can go thru grass and fields no problem! I have the jogger double and this is my single stroller so they handle the same to me off road:)

I've done some light jogging with it, but I wouldn't call it a everyday jogging stroller. It doesn't have trail tires and the maneuverability isn't what I would want it I wanted to job with it all the time. Mostly I do a lot of really long walks, mall and zoo trips, etc.

Not a great choice for either I would say... its not an offroad stroller, and its simply too large to be reasonable at a busy airport. I wont lie, this sucker is heavy and long. I would take measurements of your vehicle before you buy because it wont fit in some. That said for things like zoo days or parks with sidewalks, we absolutely love it. Our 4 year has some physical limitations and the back seat allows her easy in and out and lets her feel like a big kid without being strapped into a traditional mobility stroller. I completely endorse it, but you need to be aware this is probably not an every day kind of stroller.

My daughter uses hers inside and outside. It is very smooth. Like many doll strollers it does not have swivel wheels in the front which would certainly make it better but that doesn't change my feeling that it is a great stroller! My daughter loves bringing hers on shopping trips as well. :-)

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.

As commented, this stroller does well in different environments but is primarily designed for casual use. We would normally recommend our BOB strollers with more suspension for rugged terrain.

Unfortunately if you go on the Baby Jogger website they specifically say it's not a "jogging" stroller but I walk around everywhere with it and it rides really well. For jogging my hubby purchased a used BOB Utility Sport. If you're specifically looking for a travel stroller, perhaps you'd like the City Mini since it's a few pounds lighter and I believe it's a bit cheaper...good luck!

I have not tried the stroller on dirt trails, but do NOT think it would be very good. The wheels turn fine when the stroller is empty, but put my 30 pound dog inside and sometimes it does not maneuver that well. It is fine for the airport, which is what I have used it for.

There's a different Bob's stroller for rugged ground ~ it has thicker tires. This is a pavement jogging stroller.

I've used it on gravel, grass, and sand. Never had an issue maneuvering it. Three years later I still 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.

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 did use this for longer walks, but I wouldn't recommend anything "off road". The tires are not designed for navigating dirt roads/trails or anything like that. But for sidewalk and indoor type walking (like in shopping malls), it works great. I used this stroller pretty much exclusively until my daughter grew out of the infant car seat.
