I have a three month old and travel would be mostly gravel - would this be a good stroller for my use?

This stroller would do a good job on gravel. I think the tires and shocks would absorb most of the bumps. Its a smooth ride and the seat back reclines some. If your baby has a strong neck and holds its head up well, I would say it would work well. I'm a little overly cautious, and I waited until 5 or six month to start jogging with my baby in this stroller.

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.

It will go smoothly over gravel but I am not sure if it would ok for a 3 month old. I waited until my baby was over 6 months before putting her in this.

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.

Probably, it is light. I gave it to a 1-year-old, just beginning to walk, and it was just right. I would think an older child would want a sturdier stroller.

I think it could be too small, but most importantly, it is not a great stroller, it broke after just couple uses for us. Uppababy is what we ended up with especially from what I learned from other reviews, it has great warranty if you use its brand traveler bag.

I have not taken this stroller overseas yet but am planning to take it to Australia in a few months. The wheels are plastic (and standard "umbrella size") and certainly not as cushy as the rubber ones on most jogging strollers but for an umbrella they are pretty decent. I took my jogging stroller to Australia last year and it was a pain in the ass during all the flights. If you are planning on a lot of flying I would highly recommend the umbrella for convenience/weight. I opted for this umbrella b/c it reclines so my son can nap in the airports during connections. It's not as compact as some other "super lite" strollers but it's light enough and folds down that you can carry it over your shoulder with the strap through airports if the baby is in another carrier. This was the lightest fully reclining umbrella I could find. It has a great sunshade compared to most other umbrellas too. So far I have only used it around town to run errands but it handles fine on paved sidewalks and I'm really happy with it. Hope this helps you!

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.

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

Yes it will; I have a 20 month old and a little boy who is almost 3. I see other comments that are negative but honestly I love this stroller. I have never had a problem with pushing it or it falling apart. Especially because of the price it's an amazing deal!

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.

No, and I don't think I would. This is one of the more substantial stroller fans I found out there, which is a good thing for us in terms of durability. However, it might be a bit heavy on an Ergo. (Baby carriers are tough in hot weather, too!)

this is a "travel system", which means you will use it from new born till 3YO or more. Just for that is heavy, but there are lighter ones. I would not recommend to travel with it in a bus, you will find it heavy, bulky and way too impractical. For that better to buy a light weight stroller.

Absolutely! This stroller is roomy and very easy to maneuver. You will love it!

Yes I use it as an everyday stroller. The wheels are quite narrow - I've only been stuck once in 6 months now and I use it every second day in shops, through car parks etc.

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

Absolutely. I began using the stroller with my 2 month old, for walking only. I started jogging when he was 4 months. I think the recommendation is 6 months, so go for it!

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 used it as a stroller yet, but I would imagine it to be good for that purpose. I like that it is a single child carrier so it is not as bulking as some of these can be. I really am happy with as a bike trailer.
