Any strollers for both indoor & outdoor?

chloespurple · Apr 7, 2007

Hi, I currently have a Dorel Eddie Bower Deluxe Travel System. This is a great stroller for the mall, with its parent's tray, child's tray, adjustable seat & roomy basket underneath; but is sucks

on trails & greenway paths. Are there any strollers out there that have all the features listed above that is also built for outdoor use?
Thanks!
Michelle

Jeep Liberty?

Or buy a really really good stroller and some Carry You accessories to go on it? (I have a Mountain Buggy Urban with a Carry You Siena on the bar for Cheerios, and some little insulated cupholder thing on the top for me, or a BOB jogger console fits, too).

Instep makes the Safari TT. It is a three wheel that you can swivel or lock the front wheel. It hold up to 50 lbs. Instep is made by Pacific Cycle, who also makes Schwinn. I have carried it in my store for 4 1/2 years now and like it. It runs about $130. They also make a Schwinn model.

Would a Britax Vigour work? I know it doesn't have all the features I am looking for but I love the fact that the seat is reversible.
Here is a description I read

Air-filled rear tires; locking front-swivel wheels for better steering on rough terrain; one-touch dual rear brakes

.
Plus if it would work are there in add-ons I could buy, like drink holder etc?

Or is a jogging stroller my only option?
Plus, where is the best place to buy from, any good sales?

I'm with Julie--get a really good all-terrain (Mountain Buggy, Valco, Phil & Ted's, etc) and then buy a nice hang-bag and a universal cupholder for it. I wouldn't get an actual jogger for the mall--anything fixed wheel will drive you nuts.

I want a phil & teds but i do not know if i could fit that and my other stroller in my trunk. Maybe if i cleaned it more often?
But to the poster i think if you really want something of outside a jogger is the best

That Vigour DOES look nice! I've been trying to find one to push and see how it pushes...and I do love a reversible seat, and it's cheaper than a bugaboo or rockstar and better than the Fisher Price bugaboo knockoff...but I can't find one! I have the Verve and find the quality to be fabulous, fold is good, pushes easily, turns on a dime, but you just never know from model to model if the quality is 'there', KWIM?

Hi Julie, what does KWIM mean

?

broken4u05 · Apr 8, 2007

KWIM- know what i mean

The Britax Vigour wouldn't work well on gravel, etc.

Even with the air tires, though? (probably a pain to tip it back for a loooong time on a bumpy walk, of course, lol!)

Thanks! :thumbsup:

It is mainly because of the tire size with that one. You would end up digging in with the tires. I;m kinda a stroller collector....

LOL, that's ok.. my house is filled with strollers...gotta have the right tool for the job, right?

If you're wanting to do some power walking on trails, a jogger or pram really is your best bet.

However, if you're just going on the occasional leisurely stroll, the Peg Perego Pliko might work well for you. We have one that we used all the time on cobbles in downtown Heidelberg, Germany. I still use it at the zoo, as well as at the mall. The newer ones even have cupholders for mom.

Thanks broken4u05

Judi & Juli,

Would it work better than the Eddie Bower?

I have kinda fallen for this stroller since it is reversible & purple

.
Like I said would would go with one of the others you mentioned, but I need it to be easy to use shopping as well.

Thanks UlrikeDG I will check that one out too.

P.S. The trail I normally walk has gravel, both fine & large as well as dirt.

Oh yeah, it'd be better than the eddie bauer, totally. 12 inch air tires are pretty versatile for most walking purposes...having the smaller front wheels might make things a little more bumpy, but still not as bad as your current beast (uh...'convenience stroller'...it IS convenient for carrying loads of stuff, I can't argue with that! lol).

I have a 2004 mountain buggy in grape, so I feel that purple love....

Eddie Bauer is a Dorel product. I don't like most of their stollers. The three wheeler isn't too bad though.

Any strollers for both indoor & outdoor?
