why not just replace the wheels on a cheaper stroller?
Since a lot of city dwellers/people in snowy climates say that the little wheels on a regular stroller just won't cut it, why not buy a $100-$200 stroller and replace the wheels with bigger, stronger ones? You can buy wheels for tricycles and push mowers at most hardware stores for about $5-10 a pop, and they're pretty sturdy. You'd have to take a look at how the stroller folds etc., but it could probably be done on a lot of models.
(I don't have kids but I take my laundry to the laundromat in one of those folding grocery carts. I live in a third-floor walk-up in a building with thirteen-foot ceilings, and the sidewalks are very uneven in the French Quarter, so I replaced the little plastic wheels that came with the cart with more substantial ones, and I can now "roll" about fifty pounds of laundry up the stairs with one arm.)
