This stroller is sturdy and beautiful and does ride smooth because of the rubber tires, but our strollers' front wheel kept wobbling back and forth. I tried locking it to see if this stopped it, and it lessened it, but not completely, but then we couldn't turn the stroller with the easy to turn wheel (which works great when unlocked). We were thinking our dog wasn't heavy enough (4 lb yorkie), so we put a heavy bag in bottom carrier, but wheel still wobbled. We took wheel off and put back on, not much more we could do, so we returned it.  But it is a nice stroller.
