[QUOTE="BeegRhob, post: 752949, member: 48712"] Just some thoughts. I would think to make sure it has locking brakes. If you are parked on a slope, I would want it to be there when I turn around from taking the most awesome picture that I ever would! I learned in automotive shop class, THE most important system on a vehicle, is the brake system! I would inspect the brakes, and adjust them so that they are tight, but not too tight that they will break from cheap parts. Possibly take something along on your venture to stop the wheels from moving, attaching it to the stroller with a small rope so that you don't overlook it before you venture out. Most, if not all of them will have a cover to protect baby from the sun and rain. Make sure it will be good enough for camera equipment. A small hole can ruin your day. There is waterproofing spray that you could use to better protect it, probably other ways as well. If you want new material, you could use a heavy duty outdoor trash bag. I would think some kind of cushion/shock absorber would be in order as well. The equipment will be jostling around even on almost smooth surfaces. Soft blankets may be enough, or "egg crate" foam or even both. Not sure if there would be a good suspension system on a stroller, but springs alone may not be good, as they could potentially toss the equipment around. Pockets, hanging from the rear for easy access to batteries and memory cards and such, but not camera bodies and lenses. I would keep the weight from those closer to the ground to help prevent tipping. Some kind of shelf on the bottom for the tripod and camp chair, secured by ratchet straps or bungee cords. These could also be attached on top or from the rear handles. Do you want 3 wheels or 4? If 3, do they have them with 2 wheels in the front or back and would that matter how it would work for you?
