Is there a buggy that can go on sand?

As above? I have a holiday booked and will have to walk on sand. I don't want to be that person dragging a stroller behind me Grin

Bugaboo does. You flip the handle so the big wheels are at the front. Works v well.

Sling?

We used to have a micralite and it was excellent on sand with the front wheels fixed. Think we used our Phil & Teds on sand too but for some reason can't remember to be sure! Mountain buggy surely can. If you can fix the wheels you should be ok.

The 3 wheeler ones with air filled wheels do.

AliceMum09 · 03/01/2014 23:12

Yep, anything with fairly large air-filled tyres will be ok. I used to have a Britax Trekker 3 wheeler (they don't make them any more, but it was a great pram) that was great on the beach.

outnabout nipper is good on sand and all round

Mountain Buggy Terrain is fab everywhere. But eye wateringly expensive. Probably my best purchase though (did a lot of running with it so needed a good one)

Oh yep. Nipper 360. I love it. Sad that dd wants to walk everywhere.

McPheezingMyButtOff · 03/01/2014 23:19

Bugaboo with all terrain tyres, or a Stokke. Both a bit large for holiday though I guess?

Any three-wheeler with pneumatic tyres.

We have a Mamas&Papas chassis with air filled tyres, that is good on sand (or anything else).

Unfortunately, it is huge and doesn't fold down well.

Micralite, fab buggy, larger wheels at back so good even on soft sand.

GlitterFingers · 04/01/2014 07:59

Oh thanks guys I forgot I started this thread Grin. Loads of suggestions to look at. I was going on the bigger the tyre the better but you guys have confirmed it and fixed wheels at the front.

The mountain buggy terrain has a fixable wheel at the front which can also be set to 'free'. This makes it great around town too I don't work for them, honest

Don't even attempt it! Get a sling! So much better (and cheaper!). Google sling library and where you live and you will be able to go and try them sand hire one for your holiday.

Anything with bigger air type tyres - Nipper is fab, the Baby Jogger Elite and Summit are great. The iCandy Peach Jogger was great.....that type of pushchair should work.

fusspot66 · 05/01/2014 23:02

A buggy is great for carting your picnic, loungers, windbreak, bucket, spades and woody jumpers along British beachesGrin

NoComet · 05/01/2014 23:06

My original mountain buggy did, air filled tyres, three fixed wheels.

I'd have loved the modern ones you can set to swivel too. I was always destroying stupid cardboard display stands in out tiny Woolworth's. (DD1 is almost 16Sad)
