Has anyone used the stroller on sand? The dogs aren't allowed on the beach where we live so I'd like to have a way to take them along.

No Karen, we did not use it on the sand. However, like anything else on wheels it would be ok on wet sand but I think it would be difficult on dry, loose sand. We did love ours, but we only used it on pavement and grass. It is strudy. If your dog is heavy, as ours was it could be hard. Think of a wheelchair on the sand. I hope that is helpful.

Yes we have used this stroller on the sand here in Seaside Oregon and it works great. Easy to push with the big tires.

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.

We've taken it to the beach. Dragging it backwards with the front wheel up works best but it's not fun. We had our stroller loaded with all sorts of stuff, however, so maybe it's OK with "only" a child in it. Once you get to the wet compacted sand close to the water everything is fine of course.

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.

Hi, I absolutely love my stroller. Everything is build tight and tough. I didn't buy the B.O.B. due to the lack of support the fabric seems to have and the issues my friends have had. I hope this helped.

The longest we have pushed this stroller from the sidewalk to our spot on the beach is about 40-50 feet. I shouldn't say pushed, because we had to pull. The tires do not sit on top of the sand exactly, they sink a bit making it hard to push. But, we can at least get our stroller out to our spot, whereas I've witnessed people attempt to take their street strollers on the sand and cannot get 3 feet. So, "does it work well on the beach?"...scale of 1-10, about a 7You will not be able to lackadaisically push through sand without some sweat.

This stroller will work on packed sand at the beach, like at low tide. Don't expect to be able to push this through deep sand on a jog. These larger wheels definitely help. To improve life, be sure to give the wheels a rinse with freshwater after a beach outing.

I love it for the beach and the sand. But just make sure you lock the front wheel in place for more traction in the sand. This is my favorite stroller EVER!

Hi. I'll answer as best as I can. I have not had an issue with the wheels wobbling w/the dog in or out of the stroller. The issue might be that your wheels are not "snapped in" properly/tightly. Also, and no offense meant, but please make sure the wheels are installed as the picture shows, larger wheels in back. You might take them off and put them on again. If directions were not included, you can find a PDF version on the web. Hope this helps.

It's ok on sand. I would suggest that you get a wagon with rubber tires if you go to the beach often. We ended up purchasing a beach utility wagon because we didn't feel that this wagon was the greatest at the beach. Otherwise, we love the wagon!

I was told it wasn't for sand but I have 3 of these and love them!! I think in packed sand could be ok but walking thru sand dunes would be a struggle but it is to walk too!! Perhaps you could retro fit it to have good sand tires put on.,,, but they are wonderfulovong strollers just wist they were made for adults :-)

We rent strollers at Orlando and at the beach, yes the Bon can go on the beach. They have inflated tires so if they are a little flat they are actually better to push on the soft sand but you will need to reinflate them when you get back to normal streets again

I've never been to the beach with it but I live in sand dunes with very fine sand and it does pretty good! I would recommend using compressed air to clean it out after every use that sand gets everywhere! But they are very fun!!

Hi. Did you two purchase the stroller? If so, I'd love to hear how you rate the stroller? Is it worth the price? Has it held up well over time? Any annoyances? Good customer service? Thanks!

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 :)
