Oyster 3 on sand?

Just wondering if anyone has the Oyster 3 pram and has taken it to the beach? Just wondering if it's possible to push it on sand??

I don't have that pram but do live near a beach. Most buggies seem to struggle tbh, best technique is to drag it behind you if it's very sandy sand.

That's worth knowing, does dragging it help I'm guessing?

Prams are terrible on beaches. I live near a beach and you never see prams or buggies on it. You would be best using a sling or a backpack depending on the age of the child.

There are beach wheel chairs for hire on our beach and the wheels on those are massive. Like beach balls.

I have this pram but would imagine any pram would be quite hard work on sand!

I bought the Uppababy Vista specifically because I’ve saw it handled well on beaches and fairly easy mountain hikes. We took DS out to the beach recently in it and it was pretty good but we did put cling film around the joins for the handle adjustment.
