Is it good in the dirt?

Hi Nathan. I have had a City Mini Double for over a year now and I absolutely love it. It really is as good as all the reviews say. The front wheels can be locked to handle some terrain better, but it really is not designed for off-roading. If you are just going on some flat dirt or even grass at the ballfield, you should have no real problem, but if you are a more outdoors family, I would recommend the Baby Jogger City Elite Double (must confess, I own this one too) instead or at least something with air filled tires. That's the one I use all winter in New England in the snow and to the zoo and stuff in the summer. The City Mini really is versatile, though. I've taken it on planes and to to Disney & Busch Gardens, etc. Just depends on your needs. The Elite is expensive, but can be found elsewhere online for significantly less. Good luck!

Yes. Good for crumbs and dirt. It also has a narrow hose that you can slide out of the front nozzle to get in crevasses.

I guess that depends on what you mean by offroad. On compacted dirt I think it would do okay, probably not so good on gravel or sand or loose dirt.

It can roll around on dirt, carpet, etc. We had it buzzing around my buddies deck (he's the one we got it for; former tank commander) and over people feet and other obstacles.

They do ok on dirt. But I ended up returning the first due to a bad stitching job on the side and returned the second due to the front wheels being too wobbly. The first one didn't do that. I ended up getting the Pet Gear Envy. Have had no issues at all.

I work on smooth surfaces and grass; don't know about dirt. I think it would become mired in wetness but should be ok when dry. She may not be able to 'scoot' it along as easily in dirt.

I've never tried it but I doubt if it will work in dirt. Since it is not contained by the walls of a pipe I though it would be almost impossible to control. Just my opinion.

I think there is no perfect answer. For city and walking on sidewalks, this is wonderful. It won't do well on rocks or uneven ground. I am happy?

I recommend taking it in if it's not under a roof or canopy. It does get dirty from the pollen and rain.

Like, dirt? I dropped mine in some minor dirt, and it was fine. Also, I dropped it a lot of times in different places and it was still fine. Not sure about liquids tho. Never got it wet. Wouldn't recommend it tho. lol

Pete: Sorry, I cannot attest to its outdoor worthiness. I suggest you contact the manufacturer for the reliable answer. Perhaps others may post responses from their own experiences.

It's AMAZING on the dirt! That is all we drive it on. It spins and will kick up dirt and rocks everywhere so be careful not to do it too close to yourself or a vehicle. It is powerful and really peels out!

Not technically a dirt bike but its durable so it would do fine on dirt. Not really a climbing bike but designed to take impact.

Seeing how the basketball is made, yes its good outside. Seeing that its not one of the popular balls and not made of the finest material the performance of this ball will not be the greatest or to your advantage.

It's pretty rugged, I take it all over the place. It's not waterproof but sand and dirt won't matter.

I don't recommend playing in the dirt, because debris can get into the gearbox and jam the gears. Even in full sunlight, the gearbox torque isn't enough for bumpy terrain. My gearbox had a slight misalignment and the robot would often jam at a particular part of the gearwheel rotation, and I would have to make sure that the robot had enough momentum to overcome the jam on its own; otherwise, I would have to rotate the wheels myself to fix the problem. The best solution for me to overcome the jam was to have my robot travel down an incline plane that had a significantly flat surface. If your gearbox is better than mine, you probably would be able to use your robot on any inclined plane, possibly even fairly rough surfaces, but you will still be taking a risk to the delicate parts of your robot if you played with it in the dirt.

No Not really. It has a tendency to just push the dirt rather than flip it into it.
