Default Just one thing about the Zee Two

I haven't needed to use it much since the new baby hasn't arrived yet, but I did use it the last two days with my 3 1/2 and nearly 2 year old.
For the most part, our sidewalks are fine, but there are of course the really nasty ones that are all cracked and uneven. I can't believe how much I was getting stuck on these cracks and uneven spots, it was so annoying and popping up the front wheels isn't the easiest thing to do when you're 38 weeks pregnant.
Now, full disclosure- I have been completely spoiled with the Vista and Stroll Air My Duo- they could handle anything!
I never quite understood why everyone perferred air tires, but now I do. I'm pretty sure Valco Baby said they are coming out with them, so I guess I'll be investing.

Are they making air tires for the front though? If they only replace the rear tires then it won't really prevent the front tires from catching on cracks. Just sayin'

From Valco's facebook page on June 10th...

Valco Baby: We will have an air tire option available for Zee in the Future and will keep you updated when we are expecting them. Keep in mind that the air tires will also make the unit heavier.

Honestly, for the terrain that you describe, I would get something with bigger air tires; like the Valco Trimode, MBUD, etc,
