this stroller is good for jogging and for taking to events that are in the grass.
the kids love to ride in it (i have an avg size 1 and 3 year old), and even with two kids in it going up hills is really easy.
it is really easy pushing up hills too.
made our walk to the park up some serious hills much easier for this out of shape mom.
perfect for outdoors - smooth ride, easy to push/steer.
the first one only lasted a year, but we used it a lot--especially because we're in nyc (so it gets a lot of outdoor time).
62 yo grandma took it on a jaunt around the park - up hills and down, all over different terrains: gravel, grass, broken concrete.
we bought this stroller to take on an 11 day trip to florida--7 days in disney and a few days at the beach.
every time i take the orbit outside, i am approached by people asking what it is.
the bug is not as effective carrying infants outside of the bassinette but the seat has more room if your infant grows beyond 22 lbs.
the fact that it's aesthetically pleasing, spins 360 degrees, has a cool "paparazzi shield" to block the sun, wind or rain, closes with one hand, comes with a diaper bag, can go over grass, gravel or
the only thing is that your baby may be craning to see get a better view of what is outside the egg-shell shape of the car seat.
my favorite thing about this stroller is that it rolls so well on grass and uneven surfaces.
great for outdoor walks as well.
if i put my 5 year-old up front the front-to-back was impossible to push, especially up or across a hill.
this stroller has been great--it's relatively easy to push (except, of course, over grass, but that's only to be expected since it wasn't designed for that), pushes fine even with only one child in
in summary, i'd use this stroller for short trips or trips where my older son will want to walk most of the time (like the zoo, amusement parks, etc), but i wouldn't use it for longer rides where he
the only things "missing" are the cup holder which you can buy and i think that rubber wheels would have better suited the stroller especially for outside strolls.
today i took it to griffith observatory which has hills and tight areas but we got through just fine.
we tried it out at the zoo today, and it handled beautifully on the sidewalk, grass, and wood chips.
while i loved the size and maneuverability, it was simply too wide to handle some door sizes and many store aisles in the city we live (forcing us to wait outside while family got to look around - no
for the moments that the 5 year old will get out and walk outside the stroller...my 2 year old thinks she is the queen when she gets to "sit in the back"!
the only down side we have found is that it is not great on grass or gravely walkways, so you can't really go on a "power-walk" with it, but it is great for shopping in stores, and at the mall.
i love how it folds down so that the only thing that touches the ground wheels or the outside of the stroller.
i love the reversible canopy, the 4 position seat recline, and the wheels are big enough to make travelling through grass or gravel super easy.
it's easy to roll and maneuver even on the ground outside.
this stroller pushes with ease, even up steep hills, and has an easy to apply brake on the wheels.
i found another of the same base at a yardsale in perfect condition and bought it for like $8 (normally $20 new) to go in my husbands truck, so now we can easily take either vehicle.
it's very easy to push over any surface indoor or outdoor.
my right outside wheel doesn't work and it doesn't have a beverage holder, that aside i am crazy about it!
and add in any kind of hill or uneven ground and you may as well start out rocking in the corner -cause you'll end up there.
for a double, it was an absolute dream to push around the parks.
occasionally, i need to go through grass, gravel, snow, and ice.
i've solved this issue by purchasing hiker's hooks to use for my groceries.
i already had two other strollers that i wasn't crazy about and i really wanted one stroller that could do it all: jogging, hiking, walking.
we walk daily 2-3 miles daily outside and needed a stroller that would standup to this type of use.
it unfolds at a touch (safety band prevents accidental unfolding) and it is by far the smoothest stroller on all kinds of terrain, from your neighborhood sidewalk to traversing across a grassy park.
it is so versatile - the big back wheels make it smooth sailing over bumpy sidewalks, grass, even bricks - and you can adjust the seat to face you or face the world, recline or sit up.
here'e my pros/cons: pros: comfy cushy seat, back wheels make it smooth ride for outside walking, cool color choices, click in maxi cosi car seat....
we frequent austin's hike-and-bike trail, and it acquits itself as if it were in the mall.
we love how it unfolds at a touch (safety band prevents accidental unfolding) and it is by far the smoothest stroller on all kinds of terrain, from your neighborhood sidewalk to traversing across a
i can also push it on grass with one hand because the ride is so smooth.
i go to the beach often and this is great for the beach terrain.
i have used this stoller on grass, gravel, bumpy sidewalks, and it has done great!
i use the mini for daily walks in the suburbs, visits to the zoo and sea world and to parks.
our four-year old isn't a huge fan of riding in strollers, but we needed to have one for theme parks and days when we're out and about for long periods of time.
it did feel like this would be a very smooth riding stroller, but we never got the chance to try it out outside of the house, because we realized very quickly it would not work for us and are
- fantastic "ride", very easy to handle, one-hand steering due to single handle bar, "all-terrain" (it can handle snow, grass, etc.)
this stroller is like an suv it goes over bumps, curbs, grass, etc, very smoothly and is super-easy to push.
while i use it outside, it gets the most use inside shopping at the mall.
overall: if you have an older/larger child and plan on using it outside more than inside, it is a great stroller!
the front tray area when he was too small for a high chair (or none available), laid him down for a nap in the fully reclining seat, and trekked him through an outdoor museum in az with dirt paths.
we've taken it on hiking trails and on dirt walkways and it does fine.
not only is my 2 y/o son comfy in this stroller today, but i've changed his diaper in it, fed him a full finger food meal in the front tray area when he was too small for a high chair (or none
