Customer Review: Great stroller for the money
This was a great stroller for the money. It is very light weight and very mobile with a fixed or moving front wheel. Our daughter loves it and seems very comfortable in it. It folds up for transport.
Customer Review: Wobbly POS
We got one of these five months ago. At first it seemed fine. After a couple months the frame loosened up. It's all rivets in plastic and aluminum, so there's no way to tighten anything. Now it's wobbly. With all the wheels locked it sways back and forth due to the flex in the frame. The front swivel wheel is worthless, because it shimmies and shakes the whole stroller like a paint shaker if it's not in the locked (non-swivelling) position. What a waste of money...



Here's an update. After a week InStep answered my e-mail, and they advised me that I should tighten the steering/swivel head. Remove the foot rest (four Phillips screws), and there's a nut on top of the bolt that holds the front wheel's swivel head. It's just a nylon "locking" nut. Too tight, and the front wheel won't turn. Too loose, and the front wheel wobbles like mad. Why they didn't spend 10¢ more for a castle nut and cotter pin, or why they don't mention this in the "troubleshooting" section of the owner's manual, I don't know.



Even without the front wheel shimmying like nuts, the stroller is still wobbly and excessively flexy. We've got a $600 Hartan that put up with a lot of hard use and it's still as solid as a vault. The InStep is simply cheap.

RayShade® UV Protective Stroller Shade Improves Sun Protection for Strollers, Joggers and Prams Black

RayShade® UV Protective Stroller Shade Improves Sun Protection for Strollers, Joggers and Prams Black Accessory UV protective canopy that offers full protection from the sun's harmful rays; polyester/spandex cover extends from head to toe.Hidden pocket holds bottles and sippy cups upright plus a larger pocket for tissues, cell phones and lotions.Easy to attach with hook and loop straps; folds into own storage pocket for easy portability Fits most single strollers. Stroller not included. 28"Lx 24"Wx 8"D.
Customer Review: Great solution for my stroller
I bought the Phil and Ted stroller and I realized that the shade provided was not enough. They sell one for 50 bucks, so I decided to go generic.

I am so happy with this product. It's easy to use, and it fits perfectly with the Phil and Ted (in single mode) stroller.
Customer Review: Too flimsy compared to other models
Pros:

Self contained pocket



Cons:

Doesn't get the job done when it's windy



Summary:

I'd previously purchased a similar cover by Protect-a-bub, but decided to try this model because it cost half the price. In this case I got what I paid for--the 'tent rod' that is inside the front rim of the shade is too thin and doesn't keep the shade in place when there's wind. In contrast, the protect-a-bub model has a slightly thicker 'tent rod' in the rim, just enough to make it a little more stable in the wind.

Customer Review: Great shade
After reading all the reviews I thought this was going to be a flimsy shade, but it really isn't. Yes, if its windy, it folds back, but I think that's reasonable. Very happy with the purchase.
Customer Review: Flips easily
Although it provides WONDERFUL coverage, it flips back (hitting me) during fast walks or with a slight breeze. You can forget jogging with it.

Customer Review: Great stroller for twinfants
I bought a Bob Revolution Duallie stroller with the car seat adapter, not knowing that it only would hold one car seat - and I'm having twins! After much searching, I found this inexpensive stroller that would hold 2 car seats and not take up a ton of room in my vehicle (or stores, pediatricians office, etc..). I was a bit skeptical after reading some reviews because I have Grace snugride carseats - but it is a wonderful product. I put it together in no time at all and adjusted the bars for the perfect fit with my Grace car seats! My twins aren't here yet, but I know this will get a lot of use while they are in their car seats! It is easy to maneuver and fold and unfold. The basket seems roomy enough and the parent tray is the bomb! It is true you will only use it while they are in their car seats, but at $89 (WalMart) - my sanity and ease of movement is worth every penny! Good luck - if you are having twins, this is a must!
Customer Review: Best Stroller for Infants
When we found out we were having triplets, we like all other multiple parents bought a stroller to accommodate all the babies. The stroller is so large that we can not even fit it into a mini van. We have to purchase a large SUV or Full size van to go anywhere.
We bought the Latch Lock carriers from baby trend and we just love them. When we saw the stroller that went along with them. We decided to order the Double Snap N Go.
The stroller comes all put together, you just need to snap on the wheels. Then comes the fun part. The stroller is made for many different brands of carriers. You find the carrier you are using in the instruction manual and then you remove bars or rearrange them to fit your carrier. It is very simple and all the parts are well labeled.
The carriers just snap on to the top, just like when you snap them into the base that is in the car. There is a strap that goes over the lower half of the carrier to prevent it from rocking or coming off the stroller. It is great because you do not have to unsnap your baby from the car seat and them snap them into the stroller. No need to transfer toys and blankets from car seat to stroller. What a time saver.
It is very light weight and easy to set up. I pull it out of the trunk and just snap and lock it into place. I then just snap the carriers in place and we are off. It takes up the same amount of room that a normal single travel system would take up.
For all you shoppers out there. I took the stroller into a women's clothing store and was able to easily navigate the store. The stroller handles very well. The front wheels are adjustable. You can set them for straight ahead or let them rotate.
Because we have 3 babies, we easily become a tourist attraction. The stroller handles so well that I was able to move swiftly and accurately through spectators and display racks.
We love the Double Snap N Go so much that we have asked for the Single Snap N Go for our Baby Shower.

Kolcraft Tour Sport® Umbrella Stroller With Adjustable Canopy

Kolcraft Tour Sport® Umbrella Stroller With Adjustable Canopy

  • 5 1/2" Shock absorbing front swivel wheels
  • Reclining padded seat back
  • Adjustable canopy
  • One reclining position
  • Extra-wide frame
  • Comfort-grip foam padded handle
  • 3-point quick release buckle
  • Rear storage bag
  • Parent cup holder
  • 35 lbs. maximum child weight
  • Stroller weighs approximately 12 lbs.

Customer Review: Wish I bought it sooner!
My son and I love this stroller! It's so much easier to navigate than the travel system. It's lightweight and sturdy, very easy to assemble (you pop on the wheels and the sunshade!), comes with a nifty removable cup holder, and the padded backrest reclines to about a 45-50 degree angle. The part I love the most (besides all the fore mentioned!) is the adjustable sun canopy! Love it! As we all know, the sun doesn't always shine upon the top of our heads, so when I push him facing the sunlight, I can easily adjust the canopy to shade his face, it's wonderful! The only problem I have is that the backrest is a little short as the other reviews have also stated. My son is only 3 months old and his head is almost to the top of the backrest. Closing the stroller is a breeze- there's a lever which you push to the left and then push up and the stroller folds down. The backrest has to be in the up position in order to close the stroller and the canopy, if not removed, will pop off on its own. I highly recommend this stroller if you're looking for a great umbrella stroller with great features.
Customer Review: Great Upgrade on Umbrella Strollers
LOVE this stroller so far! And it is very reasonably priced (at least where I got it :-) I paid about $35 for this stroller through Amazon, but saw it elsewhere for anywhere up to $90. It is MUCH BETTER than a classic twenty dollar umbrella stroller. It is sturdy, navigates well and is compact. It has a small basket, cup holder and small sun shield. The wheels are even lumbar. I was at the mall just the other day with SIL and for a few minutes I had to push both children's strollers at same time. My SIL's stroller was akward and the wheels did not rotate well at all. THis stroller moved wonderfully and made me realize that you get what you pay for! I would recommend this stroller to anyone!!!!!!

Customer Review: Perfect Stroller for Those on the Go
I bought this stroller before taking my toddler (2.5) and baby (3 month) to Europe for three weeks, alone. It proved to be great. It is very sturdy, handles with one hand, and folds easily. I really put it to the test going on and off subways and trains and over cobblestone roads. I would recommend it in a heart beat. If you buy it, allow yourself a few days to get used to it and make the adjustments to the straps etc. It is easy to use once you have done it once....but not necessarily easy right out of the box.
Customer Review: Great double stroller!
Bought the double Mac as our primary stroller for our vehicle. Compact fold, easy carry and fairly lightweight for a double. Niced sized hoods for an umbrella style, great basket. Pushes well, even on roads and sidewalks. No tipping issues at all. Fold and unfold is a little tight and requires some muscle, but after using for awhile I'm confident fold/unfold will become easier (as is the case with all Macs).

Customer Review: I like it except for one big flaw
I like the feel of this stroller, it's sturdy but not too bulky. For its actual use, the stroller seems to be perfect - smooth ride, easy to maneuver also. The Graco car seat that we use also fits perfectly in it. I was disappointed to realize that when the stroller is folded, it can't stand on its own; it lies flat on the floor. Because we need to travel a lot, this is a big bother because it requires too much effort to move around when it's folded. The Graco Lite Rider however folds perfectly and can be rolled along when it's folded; I wish the Glider was designed with that feature.

Customer Review: good stats, bad functionality
i'm a new mom and petite. wanted something lightweight and stylish and loved the stats on this stroller. used it for the first time yesterday and the steering is horrible for maneuvering in tight spaces and turns. limited basket space. would not recommend
Customer Review: If you are over 5' tall, do not purchase this stroller!
To say I hate this stroller is an understatement! Everyone who has pushed our child in this stroller has kicked the wheels while walking and had to modify their stride while walking. The handle is too low for me and I am only 5'4" tall, my husband looks like a hunchback pushing it!



If you happen to acquire this stroller, do what we did. Go to the local home improvement store and get 3/4" PVC in the plumbing section. Take the wheels off the stroller and add about 6" of the PVC to the stroller legs. You will no longer be able to fold the stroller as small as originally, but it is totally worth the sacrafice!

My baby loves this toy...gives me something to attach other toys to it too! Also, folds right into the stroller so you don't have to take it off and on.
Customer Review: toy
this item didn't work for us. It didn't stand up straight on one stroller and the straps were too small for the other one. It looked cute though.

Stroller Connectors

Stroller Connectors Transform your two single strollers into a working twin stroller with this set of three stroller connectors. Made of sturdy molded plastic, the 7.5-inch-long connectors are pre-assembled and easy to attach. Four rubber grip pads and two lock tabs hold each of the three connectors securely in place once they have been aligned properly, squeezed together, and "clicked" into a locked position. Releasing the connectors is equally easy--just pinch the lock tabs together and the two-piece connectors will be disengaged. When the connectors are attached they will hold two strollers together, side-by-side, approximately 6 inches apart. Unfortunately, the connectors are only effective with two identical strollers; strollers of different models and sizes cannot be effectively paired up with the connectors. --Chris Burns
Customer Review: Works great . . . if you have the right strollers
These connectors work great if the frame of the strollers is made of circular steel tubing. But the frame of our strollers is oval tubing. As a result, the connectors do not provide a tight fit around the frame, and we ended up with a very loose, wobbly connection. The moment we tried to navigate over anything other than a perfectly smooth tile floor, the connectors popped open from the strain.
Customer Review: Excellent Product for mom with twins
This is a life saver for a spare set of umbrella strollers I keep in my car. When I am out by myself, I keep these in the car, and I have a double stroller when needed. Great product, and much more inexpensive than a double umbrella stroller.

A large basket underneath the stroller accommodates all of baby's gear which can run the gamut from diaper bag to portable changing pad.
Customer Review: front wheels break
After only a couple of months of use the two front wheels broke- they tend to turn sideways or go in different directions causing the stroller to stop and almost flip. I still use it but have to push it tilted on the two back wheels with the front off the ground to prevent this problem. I would have been better off with a $20 stroller or spending a bit more money for one that would last longer.
Customer Review: Front wheel design flaw
There was much that I initially liked about this stroller. It has a nice overall design, and it's a good size. However, there appears to be a major design flaw in the front wheels, and they lock up continuously. Initially it only happened on somewhat rough surfaces, but now it's constant. We've reached a point, after only about 7 months of use, that we have to get a different stroller, because it won't go for more than a few feet without the front wheels locking up, unless we're on a perfectly smooth surface. I've noticed that most strollers have double front wheels on each side, and I regret not having taken note of this before I bought this stroller. The apparatus that holds the wheels in place is just a snap on part, that wobbles easily, and that also appears to add to the problem with the wheels.



There is also little back support, so my daughter tends to slouch in this stroller. The back is held in an upright position by a strap that is adjustable, but since the back is made of what seems to be corrugated plastic, it bows, and between that and the strap, it stays in a somewhat reclined position rather than solidly upright.

Customer Review: Not a good quality stroller
After one year, this stroller became very difficult to use. The wheels have become incredibly hard to steer and folding/unfolding is painful, you need both hands at all times. I'm very dissatisfied.
Customer Review: Best of everything!
I LOVE this stroller. I think "travel system" strollers are too big and bulky and umbrella strollers too small and flimsy. This stroller is perfect....it can be used with Graco infant car seats and is small enough to keep in the car or travel with. My son loves it.

Customer Review: Great Product
I have the Baby Jogger Mini City Classic stroller which comes without a tray. This tray is very sturdy and clips right in. My daughter is very hard on her things and she hasn't figured out a way to tear this up or rip it off (she did with her last stroller). I would highly recommend this if you want a tray for you Baby Jogger stroller.
Customer Review: Beware - only for 2008 models
I really want a child try, but I have a 2006 model. I did not realize it was only compatible with 2008 models. My only other solution is to spend over $80 for the belly bar and a special console. I'm disappointed baby jogger doesn't have a better option for older model strollers. I'm not about to go buy a newer model just to get a child tray. I gave the child tray 3 stars only because it doesn't work with older models.

Customer Review: A Must Have!!!
This stroller is one of the lightest strollers that I've found. It's very easy to manuever. Perfect for traveling. We just returned from Disney World and it was convenient to have as we had to fly there and use Disney's transportation; it folds very quickly and it was a breeze getting through the parks. Nice stroller to have when on the go. My toddler seemed to like it too and had no problems napping in it. And the rain shield was a plus!!!
Customer Review: Everything we wanted in a stroller
We bought our Volo (admittedly, not this color) about a year and a half ago, when our daughter began to outgrow her "baby" strollers. My husband and I are both tall, so we wanted something that we wouldn't have to hunch over, and we saw that users rated the Volo as lightweight and durable. We bought it and used it--and used it, and used it. This summer, we took our daughter (now 3) to Europe and we were amazed at how well the Volo held up -- we visited seven countries, stayed at a dozen hotels, and took over a dozen flights, and the Volo made it through everything with flying colors. It was amazingly convenient and sturdy. We will definitely recommend it to anyone who asks!

    Customer Review: Great Stoller!
    I really like my Joovy Caboose! My boys are crazy about it and want to ride in it all of the time. It unfolds easily and is fairly compact when folded up. My biggest complaint the tray on the front. It's not easy to open to get my nine month old strapped in. I have to take the tray off entirely before I try to place my child in the seat. Otherwise, we love it! It's incredibly strong and sturdy- much better than my previous Graco double stroller. I think this stoller will withstand my three sons!
    Customer Review: LOVE it!!
    I got this stroller in the mail yesterday (military). I LOVE it. My active 3 year old actually ENJOYS being able to sit on the bench for our walks, and my 5 month old likes it too. The basket is easy enough to get into once you figure out the bench moves. ;)



    2 things - 1, I wish the seat straps in the front seat were softer or padded. My baby fell asleep in the stroller, and the strap rubbed a raw spot on her neck. 2, I wish there were hoods covering the back wheels. It took all of 5 minutes for my toddler to realize she could rest her feet on the wheels, which not only wears her shoes down, it makes the stroller harder to push.

Customer Review: great purchase
I am so happy with this stroller! We have loved using it this summer. I have a 3 month old son and a 3 year old daughter and what is cool about this stroller is that they can swith spots according to the temperamental wishes of my toddler. She can see great from both spots (if the front umbrella is off, which it always is for us). The only tiny probem for me is that when the baby is in the back, you can't see him and he is kind of covered by umbrellas (from the stroller and his car seat). The graco snugride seat fits perfectly in both slots and seems very safe. This stroller pushes great and maneuvers through tight spaces pretty well. It doesn't seem too heavy at all, even with the two kids in it. The front seat is larger than most stadium strollers so my 3 year old doesn't seem squished or uncomfortable (though she may be a little smaller than the average 3 year old). I really struggled between 4 or 5 stars because we do LOVE it, but the very few things are that thing I mentioned earlier about the baby in the back seat, and that it does fold up easily like it claims - but it does take up quite a bit of space in the back of our SUV for trips (however, I am sure that it is good compared to other models), and one of the front wheels somehow got warped already and we have no idea how- but it still works fine anyway. I would recommend this stroller over any of the readily available ones in Wal-Mart,

Target, etc. Spend the extra time and money and get a good one like this one- it'll be worth it. As for the color, this one is great because it could be for both a girl and boy, and is a nice gray color that looks nice with about any car seat color, and dad isn't embarrased to push it.
Customer Review: Unsafe!
I am so disappointed in this stroller. My twins are now 6 months old. B/G and there is a big weight discrepancy between them. I have had the stroller tip back on me 3 times. At first I thought the added weight of the carriers were contributing. So I went out and bought 3-1 convertible seats for when they are older and installed them rear facing. But it has also happened 2 other times without the carriers. My heart dropped to my stomach each time. The very first time, I didn't have my son buckled in, but I still caught him from the adrenaline rush. Since then I always buckle them in. The seatbelt system is a pain and gets old real quick. It's a five point system, but not like car seats. This stroller may be fine if your twins are close in weight, but one of mine is 15 lbs and the other 22lbs. I have tried the heavier one in the front and back and it still tips. I have been saving up money to get a side-by-side stroller. It gets scratched up easy when you are folding it up. The canopy tends to get stuck under the seat, when you are opening it. The unlocking latch is a serious pain in the rear end. It seems fine in the store, but after using for a few months. I really would NOT recommend this stroller!

Graco IPO Stroller in Soho

Graco IPO Stroller in Soho Customer Review: excellent product
Excellent product! folds nicely, unfolds easily, truly one hand operation. Very comfortable and easy to handle and maneuver. Great for travelers.
Customer Review: Great stroller!
We already have a big bulky stroller and were looking for something small that folded up to become nice and compact. The Graco Ipo is perfect. It's not as sturdy as the larger stroller but does the job when needed. We recommend it!

Stroller Hooks

Stroller Hooks These hooks can be attached to any stroller to hold shopping bags or a diaper bag. They can also be attached to a wheelchair to carry bags. They are black and brand new in package.
Customer Review: Turn your stroller into SUV
What can I say ?

Simple and brilliant - how can we go to the supermarket with a baby without this thingy ???




Customer Review: These stroller hooks are amazing and strong
I bought these hooks after being very frustrated with some junky hooks that kept breaking on me. I then tried a metal hooks but that was a pain because I had to open it in order to get my bags on and off. I tried this one next and love it so far. It is strong and holds alot. It also has an adjustable velcro so it fits all three of my strollers. I love it!!!

Evenflo X Sport Convenience Stroller - Grey

Evenflo X Sport Convenience Stroller - Grey The Evenflo XSport Convenience Stroller has all the features of a standard stroller with the convenience of a bi-fold frame. The large storage basket is accessible from the front and rear of the stroller. The fabric console two cup holders and a concealable storage area for items such as keys, wallets, cell phones, and sippy cups. The XSport's seat pad includes mesh which allows for better air circulation. The stroller also has a removable, adjustable canopy to help block harmful sun rays. For children up to 40 pounds.
Customer Review: Good but not great!
As other views have mentioned, this is a very sturdy, easily manuverable (small enough to zip through crowded store racks), everyday stroller. I will also agree that the handles are a bit too short as we end up leaning over quite a bit (very hard on the back) and kicking the back wheels all the time. -And I and my husband are only 5'5" and 5'9" respectively. I don't consider us tall, and so therefore didn't think this would be our issue as well. In retrospect, we would have both much preferred to purchase the one with the raiseable handles that was only slightly more money. Also since these smaller strollers don't have the large bar that the travel systems do, our son LOVES to lean forward to try and touch the wheels while we are in motion. Because of this, we probably should have gone with a 5 point harness as well, even though we never used the top portion of it on our Graco travel system stroller before.
Customer Review: Great stroller
I love this stroller! I wanted something compact compared to our travel system yet better quality than your typical umbrella stroller. I found it all in this stroller. It's sturdy - I can hang my diaper bag on the handles and it doesn't tip over. The water bottle holders are a nice size plus it has a zippered compartment. The storage space underneath isn't deep but it does hold things. Easy to put together, my 14 mo old helped, ha ha!



This is a great quality stroller with a great price!

Customer Review: saves your stroller from getting torn and dirty
Just used this for a flight and was happy to see that even after being tossed around in the luggage area of the plane my stroller was not dirty or torn thanks to this bag. The bag itself however did get quite dirty and had a few small tears. It is not a very durable bag as other reviewers have said - but it did the trick. Would it stand up to use for multiple trips - probably not.
Customer Review: A must for travelling family
Great product! Keeps baby umbrella stroller clean and protected at gate checks. Let's you spot your stroller right away. Folds into a samall zippered pouch that fits anywere. I use it with my Graco IPO umbrella stroller.

BOB Weather Shield for Single Revolution/Stroller Strides Models in Yellow

BOB Weather Shield for Single Revolution/Stroller Strides Models in Yellow The BOB Weather Shield is made of PVC-coated nylon with clear Mylar windows. Our Weather Shield is ideal for keeping rain and chilly winds off of children, and the windows enable children to retain a clear view of the passing world. The seams are high frequency welded, making the weather shield waterproof. Vents are positioned to allow for proper airflow to your child while providing the protection from the elements.
Customer Review: Surviving a Minnesota Winter
We ordered this weather shield for our BOB last fall, and we used it all winter long. It allowed us to venture out into the cold Minnesota winter knowing that our infant daughter was shielded from the wind and cold. In fact, after the first few uses I realized that I was overdressing her! This cover does an excellent job of holding in body heat. And it is super easy to use and folds up small for storage. If you own a Revolution and live in a wet or cold place, this is a must.
Customer Review: Baby is dry and toasty
This weather shield has been a great accessory. It is a little cumbersome at first to put it on the stroller but after the first time it has been very easy.



The shield definitely keeps my little girl warm during the windy days with out needing to tuck a blanket around her. Also, dry during the rainy ones.



The full-body window provides me with the ability to see that she is buckled up safely at any time during the walk. It enables her to see things just about as well as when the shield is off.



The yellow color is definitely a color contrast to our navy colored stroller but it sure makes us visible to oncoming vehicles.



Construction appears to be very good. The material reminds me of a very duty plastic tarp (not like the cheap ones you find at the big discount retailers). I would imagine this would be repairable with a inner tube patch kit or clear adhesive caulk for the window if it ever needed it.



I would definitely purchase this again.

Customer Review: Excellent, except it pops open when folded.
We got this stroller and love it...BUT...When the stroller is closed into its "smallest" position, the double fold, the little plastic device that holds the stroller closed pops open all of a sudden. We have had to attach Velcro to the same area that the plastic device is on, to keep the stroller closed. Kind of a nuisance, but otherwise the stroller is very easy to push; it fits through doors well; and our year old twins seem quite comfortable. We definitely would buy this again. (Especially if they find a better solution to the cheap plastic gizmo that is supposed to keep it closed!)
Customer Review: Nephews present
My newphews love this. Especially the 2 year. It's the best double stroller we've seen on the market.

BOB Infant Car Seat Adapter for Duallie Strollers '06 or Newer

BOB Infant Car Seat Adapter for Duallie Strollers '06 or Newer Customer Review: Best purchase ever
Being a mother of a 3mth old and 23 month old I needed something for the both of them I would highly recommend this stroller to anyone who wanted a double stroller. I also did my research on many double strollers and found out the the BOB strollers are better then anything else. They are totally worth the money!
Customer Review: Tools required
To attach this to your Bob stroller, you need a 4mm allen wrench and an 8mm socket. Most things that require assembly include any odd tools, like an allen wrench. I think for 90 bucks, this cheap tool should be included. Other than that, the adapter works fine for my Graco car seat. It is not as secure as when we attached the car seat to a Graco stroller, but it's fine.

Customer Review: Great buy
Great value for money stroller which served it's purpose well. We wanted a stroller for travelling and to take on the plane. This stroller was very light weight, easy to fold and the two recline positions were put to good use when my daughter was sleeping.
Customer Review: great stroller for the price
I got this stroller because my 70 yr old mother in law who comes over to my house to watch our 5 month old daughter, wasn't able to maneuver the big travel system stroller we have. This stroller has been a total relief for her and my daughter loves it!! The only downside to it (as I am sure is with a lot of smaller umbrella type strollers) the shade canopy doesn't provide a lot of shade protection from the sun, so we have to be very careful to keep out of the sun. Also, this stroller is not meant for very tall people, such as my husband who is 6'2", as he has to lean over and often finds himself kicking the wheels. It is just perfect for my mother in law and myself who are 5ft and 5'1" though. Overall, this is a very sturdy stroller at a reasonable price!

Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller in Swift

Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller in Swift Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller Does it require a little bit of motivation to go out for a jog?

Hook up the musical player of choice and burn the calories while burning some classic riffs.
Customer Review: Nice Jogging Stroller
My daughter loves going running with us in this stroller. After a couple of minutes she is fast asleep even with the music playing. Its very sturdy. I read most of the reviews on Amazon before I decided on this one. The BOB strollers are nice but you can't beat the price on this stroller.



My only gripe would be that it is a little difficult to turn since the front wheels don't swivel.
Customer Review: Good product
I gave this product a 4 star review only due to a pull to the right. Even after double checking the tire pressure there was still a slight pull to the right. I due however love the on board music, and so does my baby. We have never found anything that my child was willing to be confined to before. Actually first thing she has napped in while out for our walks. Very impressive in that respect. So Maybe it is a fluke that mine had this problem, but still would recommend this to a friend, just for the fact that it is a miracle that my child will stay in it, let alone sleep in it.

Customer Review: Super stroller
We love this stroller.

It folds one-handed, it has a decent parent and toddler tray, the basket is huge and easy to get to, compact when collapsed....

Only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that it is a pavement only (no good on dirt trails etc) and therefore is limited in it's use.

Customer Review: Light-weight, easy to use, great double stroller!
As a proud parent of "Irish twins" and owner of a double stroller which had one child behind the other-- I soon saw that neither child wanted to be in the back and so looked for a side-by-side stroller. This stroller is light-weight, folds very easily, is easy to navigate, can get through most doors and gives both my kids a great view. The colors are light and bright and the children love sitting in it! Their 5 year old cousin likes sitting in it too! Great price as well. Thanks, Jeep!
Customer Review: Great lightweight stroller
I bought this for my kids who get tired after long walks in certain places, like Disney or amusement parks, etc. After spending $[...]/day (we went for 2 days) for a double stroller rental at Sea World, we figure it's best to invest in a double stroller now that we have 3 kids (1, 4, 6). The older 2 are a little big for it because their legs are longer, but we just put it in the recline position when they sit and they're ok with it. I just wish I had gotten it sooner when the older 2 were younger. I didn't want anything big and bulky, and this is perfect. Very easy to fold and compact in the trunk. And the price is easy on the wallet too.



The canopies are a little hassle when folding the stroller, but I just have to remind myself to unlatch the canopy before folding it. Otherwise, it's not a big deal. The reclining feature is awesome, and the seat belts are easy to use. The cup holder is useless as it's not strong enough to hold any drinks, so I sometimes use it as a snack holder since it's not as heavy as a drink.
