Pushchairs
How far can you push your bee off-road?

How far can you "push" your bee off road - will it do nicely mown playing field?
Gravel?
Woodland trail (uneven hard mud but no tree roots)?
Cobbles?
Sand?
Badly surfaced pavements?
How much of a good allrounder is the bee?

I've done mown fields, lots of cobbles, woodland trails and badly surfaced pavements. Never tried sand, but I suspect it won't work. Probably ok on short bits of gravel but I wouldn't want to do long walks.
Is bumpy but bearable. My baby used to go off to sleep in it when very little when we pushed her over cobblestones or really bumpy streets.
It is not good in snow, as I discovered this winter.

That's great to know - sounds like it will be "up to" all I'll require of it. I have a "hummer" that can do snow etc. for everday use.

I've taken my Bee over grass, woodland tracks (including tree roots!), through mud, over unmade pavements, cobbles etc all with no problems. Haven't tried sand and gravel was a bit pants but easier if you pull the Bee behind you rather than trying to push IYSWIM.
The narrowness of the Bee and it's lightness mean that I've been able to get round places in the countryside more easily than my friends with offroader pushchairs. DS has been fast asleep as well so I'm guessing that it's comfortable!
