How does this stroller handle the stairs on a regular basis? Is it difficult to pull up a set of five stairs?

It is a sturdy stroller, but it's also heavy by itself. With 2 kids it's going to be heavy to pull up the steps. By itself it's not too hard to pull up the steps. But I guess it also depends on how big you are and how strong you are. It's significantly heavier than the double umbrella type strollers from Target, etc. but sturdier and better quality. If you can, look at one at a local store if possible before buying it.

It's easy enough for fold up for taking up and down stairs, but if you have 2 kids in it, I imagine pulling it up 5 steps would be tricky--the wheels are not very big.

I have the push up as far as my model allows. My husband is 6'3" and while it does seem lower than the average stroller he hasn't had any trouble with it. The new models may have longer bars or extenders I haven't checked. We love this stroller though! The peanut bassinet was wonderful when our baby was tiny. We have 5 kids so this system is by far our favorite over the monster strollers we had previously. It maneuvers so nicely through amusement park crowds and stores. Your height may make you feel a bit like you are pushing a toy around at first but my husband definitely isn't stooped over or uncomfortable when pushing baby around. Best of luck!

Yes, I love this stroller. (I have only ever used this as a jogging/walking stroller, I have never used this as a bike trailer.) It's really easy to handle, and I like that it holds my 4'1", 60 lb son with ease.

I agree that this is a pretty heavy vacuum which is why I often skipped the stairs but when I finally decided to tackle the stairs, start at the top because it is much easier walking her down than it is pulling and holding her while trying to force her up hill.

Stairs are difficult, after starting up the stairs, the position of the object will have to be adjusted. The person on the top really can't reach the object being carried and the person on the bottom will have most of the weight. But, it's a heck of a lot easier than doing it without the straps!

The stroller itself is light but this version does not have the swivel on the front wheel. So it's hard to turn. Doable, but more of a workout. I didn't know this when I purchased it. I use it to push my 2 kids who are 55lbs combined and I do fine. And I just am a light runner.

Has anyone used this by pulling up stairs? I live on the third floor of my apartment building and need somthing to help with groceries.

We have 15 steps of various levels. I set the blade level to the highest setting so that the blade does not hit the steps, and I drag it backwards up the flight of steps....you have to be moderately strong to pull it up...and then to take it back inside, I roll it down the steps forward....

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.

it's heavy to pull, but it does go up stairs if you have the strength to pull it

I live in a second floor condo, so I actually pushed it up the stairs like a sled. I'm 61, and it wasn't that difficult to maneuver. If you feel that it's too heavy, open it when it gets delivered and bring it in a few pieces at a time. Hope this answer helps. :-)

Yes and no! It is not like a baby stroller just click a button and it collapses. There are a few pieces involved. So, not as convenient. But, a great doggie stroller my fur babies love it!

Easy, just make sure you hold it by the handle and go down the stairs wheels first. The handle is on opposite end of of the Wheels.

The stroller is SUPER easy to fold. The well can be locked into place or free turning. I have not had any issues with wobbling. Not sure what they are referencing there. We have taken it to places where you walk around for hours and have had no issues. It is very easy to push also.

If the path is hard-packed it works great. If the dirt is loose or sandy it is difficult. This stroller sometimes has trouble with the wheels not adjusting as fast as they should when encountering a slight difference in elevation or a rough patch. You must back up to allow the wheels to go where they need to be. Being a larger stroller, it is necessary to use two hands and even then it can wear on your forearms some if the terrain is a little rough or hilly.

It has adjustable handle, I think it has three or four options for handle adjustments, two towards ground and two towards top. My husband is pretty ta and he always set it up higher, I use the lower position of handle. Overall, we are happy with the stroller, it's pretty light, fits to the trunk very easily and it's easy to steer around, even with one hand.

This stroller is extremely maneuverable due to its lightweight and front swivel wheels. But because it turns so easily and quickly, it's actually more difficult to push along one-handed than something heavier. You could however lock the front wheels if you plan on using one hand and not making a lot of turns.
