Hi,

Well it does pull okay, but the best strollers I've seeen for pulling are 
the peg preego strollers with the reversible handles.  The sit n stroll has 
four wheels and the front ones are the ones that swivvel and can be locked 
into place, while the back ones, the ones closest to you when you're pulling 
the stroller, are fixed.    I find the stroller sometimes fishtails if you 
don't lock the wheels, but it pulls failrly well and doesn't tip.  Sometimes 
if I'm on unstable ground i lock the wheels so I have to pusl down on the 
handle to turn the stroller.  This is okay though because you're only 
lifting the wheels enough to turn the stroller.  Actually Remus likes when I 
tilt him backwards a bit, and as long as he's strapped in he's safe.
