Ours is an Emmaljunga too. Very sturdy and the wheels are fixed. We used a Hug-A-Bub carrier in shopping centres and the pram for walks around the block and that kind of thing. Once she was a bit older we got a smaller stroller for the shops and travel, but TBH it didn't get anywhere near as much use as the Hug-A-Bub, or the other pram.
