 Found THE stroller! FINALLY! |

I have an infant and two older children, ages 8 and 3. We live in a small town with bumpy brick sidewalks. We are near the beach with a bumpy wooden boardwalk. I spend alot of time trekking across grassy, athletic fields, walking on local erands and schlepping books to and from the library.
I decided that I would skip the "lightweight" stroller I'd used in the past because they just didn't perform well or hold up well for our lifestyle. This is my first "jogger" 3 wheel style. After 6 months, I do not regret my decision.
What I love about this stroller:
- fits our infant carseat perfectly and securely.
- steers effortlessly with one hand.
- swivels on a dime.
- rides smooth as silk over the bumpiest terrain, even the huge grassy athletic field, with little effort, my 8yr old can even push it easily.
- comfortable fit and ride for my 3yr old.
- cost - Sears 119.00 on sale with a coupon.
- large basket holds plenty of books, groceries, etc.
- looks sporty, gender neutral, for baby, as well as my husband.
- tall enough for me 5'10" and my husband 6'3".
- 3 deep cups for water, keys, etc. and for baby. (we have removed the steering wheel).
What I've learned to live with...
- heavy weight. I was used to a lightweight stroller. In comparison, this weighs a ton. The weight is not a problem for steering, just for loading into my vehicle.
- bulk. We have a Suburban so space is not an issue, but this would have consumed the trunk of my old Jetta.
- changing a tire. my husband had to do this when I got a flat.
- no hand brake. this stroller can "get away from you" and the foot brakes are a must to use on inclines. |

We LOVE our Jeep Stroller! It's nice and roomy for baby and Mom. The tires make bumps and rough road easy to travel. The front swivel wheel makes it very easy to steer with one hand.
Like other posters, we love that the front basket can catch anything that baby drops.
The harness to buckle baby in is very big, it's loose on my son (who is 1 year, but the size of a 9-month old baby). The stroller itself does not fold compactly, but fits fine in the back of both of our Jeeps.
We had a problem with a bent wheel (our fault - not the strollers). I called Kolcraft and they sent a replacement for free in less than a week.
Caution: This is NOT a jogging stroller! |
Will never think about another stroller!

| I LOVE this stroller. It's comfortable for the child in it, comfortable and easy to push. Has a huge basket on the bottom for storage. We will be buying this one again for our next kiddo. The only reason we can't still use the one we already had is because we really beat it up after 4 years of heavy use. We traveled with hubby's job and it went everywhere with us. We lived in Hawaii for a long time and we walked/shopped with it almost daily. It went on the beach easily. Yes, it really is all terrain. We've replaced the tubes in the tires a couple times but it wasn't as often as I had feared. Just realize that it is heavy and bulky. For the most part, we use our truck so it's not a problem to take with. If you use a car trunk, you'll want to remove the child tray, very easy to hook back on though. I refuse to look at another stroller for our next baby coming in a few months, I'm completely sold on this one. I'll be using it for another four years or more! |
Excellent stroller!

| My son received this stroller as a 1st birthday gift from his grandparents since we were not happy with our previous stroller. I love the fact that the seat fully reclines and the harness seems much more secure than many other strollers we looked at. The wheels can handle any type of terrain but operate super-smooth in everyday environments like the park, store, sidewalk, etc. The basket underneath is very large and will hold a lot, it's also positioned so that it catches most things our son throws overboard like sippy cups, toys, etc. My husband loves the ipod/mp3 hook up and uses it frequently on trips to the park. The only negative thing I can say about the stroller is that it is heavy, but the quality and design make that necessary and the pros far outweigh any inconvenience. |
Warning: Do not jog with this stroller

My motivation for writing this review is to warn current and future customers to avoid jogging with this stroller. I did just that, and the front wheel came off and the stroller flipped forward, bending the front fork and hurting my kid.
Discussions with the manufacturer indicated that they were well aware that this problem occurs and that they would not cover the front wheel assembly replacement. The representative stated that the front wheel will shake loose when jogging -- so please be careful and use this stroller exclusively for walking.
When used as a walking stroller, it's really a great product at a great price. Perfect for the zoo, the park, or the mall. Love the front scoop catch-all and the large back compartment for diapers and shopping bags. |
