I'm looking to buy a sturdy stroller not ridiculously priced for when I go hiking on a terrain trail. There's some good sized rocks that the one we have now struggles through. For the most part it's a pretty even road except for all the rocks. Can anyone recommend a good stroller to use hiking on trails/going uphill?

    I always used a backpack carrier for that sort of hiking/walking.

    +1. A sturdy carrier like this would be ideal, but we always used our Ergo in a back carry.

    I agree. A good pack will get you further than a stroller.

    The Chariot is a well loved jogging stroller.

    Wouldn't a "jogging" stroller work? It is light weight, has big wheels, and tend to be durable / easily maneuverable. Also, unless you *have* to buy new consider buying one from CraigsList or eBay.

    I love my Bob jogging stroller, but I love wearing my toddler on my back more. I use a toddler Tula. It's a great workout on top of the hike.

    Is there a weight/age limit? My son is 2 and is around 40 pounds now I assume.

    I used a backpack for hiking, too. But, my kid is now almost 6 and weighs 37lbs.

    That's great! Yeah maybe backpacking would be best. What brand do you use?

    Ha, well, she hikes on her own now, thankfully. She climbed a pretty high peak with us on Sunday. A friend gave me a Kelty carrier/backpack. I remember she used to fall asleep in it :)

    I put my 3 year old in my Kelty backpack and she loves it... she's about 34 lbs.
