We only ever took it on the sidewalk and it was fine. No rough rides for baby. Not sure if you are talking about on the grass or something but we never went "off-roading" with it.

It is a little bumpy over rocks and grass. Though I am guessing most would be. However we take my son for long long walks in it all the time on sidewalks and paved paths and he loves the stroller. He sleeps for an hour or so often in it while we walk.

I think it bounces pretty well, but it's going to depend on the weight and aggression of the child. My two granddaughter's 3 yrs and 20 months love it. The older one only weighs a couple pounds more than the baby, but she's much more aggressive and can really get Blaze "rockin'"! The little one does more rock than bounce, but she loves it too.....and so far (since Christmas) his sounds work great....it's not overly loud....but loud enough unless you're in a room with a bunch of screaming kids! They ride it a LOT! I will say that the baby was a little apprehensive at first because it's taller than the old "little" one they have, but once she got used to it and got her balance, she loves it....She does need help getting on yet because she's just too short. I would definitely buy it again!! Regarding the stiffness of the springs: They are somewhat stiff so up and down bouncing is somewhat minimal, but if they were much looser, I think you'd get a lot of side to side rocking and likely unseat the little riders. The back and forth rocking is great!

My child is still an infant so can't answer this one yet. My sister has a 1 yr old and has the same stroller without any issues. We both got the GT for the all-terrain feature but still light weight. So I don't think it will be a big deal

I wouldn't go much below 1 year... The straps go pretty high and it's not really meant for infants. We took our daughter at maybe 10 months on a really slow ride around the block and she was slumping down and not very comfortable. We waited a few months and she loves it.

I have a 30 lb 2 year old that fits well, but it is a very upright seat and he seems to be sliding down a lot. Basically it doesn't seem very comfortable for him. Plus there is no shade. Another problem is that it puts all of the weight on the front tires and it becomes pretty difficult to steer. Honestly, I would get the City Select tandem with the stand on thing in the back. The Valco baby seats and storage just feel cheap. I had a 16 month old when I had twins and this stroller seemed to be the best solution, but I'm sorry I chose this one. I really wish I had gotten the tandem city select. It moves better, has the roller board thing for the older one, and the babies would be comfortable.

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.

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.

I have and it worked fine. It really depends on the child and their head control. My daughter was almost walking at that age and could handle the ride. Would think if the child is sitting up and has good head control it would be fine. I don't know if I would go mountain biking but on the road or dirt would be fine.

It rocks and vibrates, but the legs stance will have to be folded back for it to rock. It also allows the baby to sit up or lay back. Hope this answer helps - good luck!

I am doing the same. I currently have a Kitty Walk with four wheels and it gets hung up sometimes. But I have also heard that the 3-wheeled ones are not as stable. Also, a HUGE factor for me is the weight. The Air Ride strollers weigh twice as much as the four-wheeled ones, and if you are going to have to haul the stroller around much then that is a major drawback, IMO.

The ride is quite smooth on sidewalks and my hardwood floor; however, when rolling it around on a city street, it can be bumpy. Calvin doesn't seem to mind that it is not a top of the line Range Rover though. :) It does not have shock absorbers. This 3-wheel version is less bumpy than the smaller, 4-wheel stroller we have for our littlest dog.

It should be fine. It reclines a bit, but not all the way flat, so as long as he's got some decent neck control or you put in a head support it will be fine. Honestly the stroller pushes a LOT better when the heavier kid sits in the back, but the back seat is the only one that adjusts. It is a really good travel stroller tho, especially if you're tight on trunk space

it's realy good for outside, we have two PlasmaCar, my baby enjoy so much. they like play on a little hill.

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.

Not really, it just changes your center of gravity, so it's a little harder to steer, especially with a bigger baby (mine is 17 mos. old) he loves it though!

Definitely. It's a smooth ride. I have a junky stroller laying around we use for outside walks that let's my son lay flat. You can use this, but the baby would be sitting like they do in a car seat. Not really an issue, just a difference. I wouldn't use the car seat for the stroller part in the heat of summer, though. Car seats make babies hot!

The wheels are Ok on pavement and smooth surfaces. They do stick bit sometime and I don't think this would be the stroller to take out on trail.
