Default Looking for stroller friendly walking trails on Oahu!

Would really appreciate anyone's help if they could point me to a website or other information on stroller-friendly walking trails on Oahu. We have three small children and want to continue our family tradition of walking every weekend along beautiful nature trails.

We have looked on the internet and have found many trail sites, but very little that delineates whether the trails are stroller friendly or not.

I think most of the trails on Oahu are NOT stroller-friendly. I'm not a serious hiker, but I can tell from the descriptions here:

Backyard Oahu - Oahu's Hiking Trails

and from the scheduled hikes here:

HTMC Schedule of Hikes and Events

that most Oahu hikers are. The objective seems to be to get to the top of a ridge at about 3,000 feet, and look down.

I looked through a number of the trails on the first site, and the only one I saw that is stroller friendly is the Makapuu Lighthouse Road.

The only other hike I know that MIGHT accommodate a stroller would be the hike down the old pali road from the pail lookout to the golf course, and even on that one, you would have to lift the stroller down a ladder (a two person task at best) half way down. The rest of the hike is an easy stroll down the old road.

One that comes to mind is the Kawai Nui Marsh trail in Kailua... its about three miles long, paved, meandering through marshland with unobstructed views of the Ko'olau mountains.

Makapu'u is completely paved. Though I prefer to put my 2 yr old in the backpack and hike it.
