Baby Products Reviews of Jeep All Weather Umbrella Stroller, Ice Pink
Customer Review: Great stroller until baby gets active
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this stroller to take on a visit to the in-laws, and it has been great for the last 6 months. I tested it in the store before purchasing it (I put 30 pounds of weights in it to see how it would push with a heavier load) and was pleasantly surprised at how it handled corners. It is taller than most Umbrella strollers, which is great if you are any taller than about 5'4". You can close it with one hand because you can slide the lever over with your foot: a particularly useful feature if you are someplace you can't put your baby down. We've used it everywhere a larger stroller could go, and had better maneuverability than most of our friends' strollers. I also found that I could remove the bags that come as the stroller's storage. I'm really big on keeping things as streamlined as possible, and I usually just keep an extra diaper and some wipes in my purse: I figure if I have this stroller than I am at least within walking distance of my car, where I keep a few more diapers and a change of clothes. It ends up cutting down a lot on how much I carry with me when I shop or go for a quick walk, and ultimately makes it a more enjoyable experience. That said, if you carry a large diaper bag, or find that you are the kind of person who likes to use stroller baskets, you may want to find a different stroller. Even with the bags on, there isn't much storage room.
I unfortunately had to order a new stroller about a week ago because this stroller doesn't have a five point safety harness, and my 10 month old daughter figured out that she could lean all the way forward and over the side. We never leave her alone in the stroller, but decided to order a slightly safer stroller since she can reach the front wheels with no problem. I'll review the Mia Moda Spirito when I get it: it is basically the same style as the Jeep, but with a better harness system. Hopefully it works as well for us as the Jeep!
Customer Review: A few concerns....

I've had this stroller now about a month. I really love the colors and its super cute. I would recommend this to anyone but there are a few things I don't like about it, so I want to share them so new consumers considering this one will know about it. First this stroller is one inch narrower then your standard umbrella stroller. It does fit a bit tighter, and my daughter is 15 months old, but a pretty petite little girl, and still I notice the difference. She doesn't seem to lay back in this one, she seems to sit up and hold herself up. This one does sit higher than the standard kind, and they don''t slouch into it either. I do wish it was a bit wider, because in winter with a heavy coat she would be smooshed(sp?). The other dislike is that the canopy touches the wheels when it's closed. I already have dirty marks on the inside of the canopy, I'm not sure if it will come clean either. Plus you can see it from the front. That is what bothers me most. Overall I am really happy with this stroller. My favorites, are the cargo bags on this side. I'm able to fit a travel container of wipes and a diaper or two, her sippy cup and snacks. That is really nice! Also I like the "shocks" in the wheels, it makes the ride smoother. The part you can pull up for warmer weather I haven't used yet, but I'm sure its nice. I am also able to push this stroller with only one hand, and the stroller itself is a little bit taller than a standard, so it should help with people a littler taller (I'm only 5'3). Oh and I like the fact that it reclines, although my daughter doesn't use it at all, and I like the cup holder too. Well I hope this review has been helpful!!Customer Review: great umbrella stroller, especially for the price

I actually had a different umbrella stroller for my son when he was younger. It was okay for the toddler age; however, it did not recline or have a cup holder. My biggest complaint is that when you had something hanging from the bars in the back and my son got out of the stroller it would tip over. The Jeep Umbrella stroller resolves all of these issues. We still have our larger stroller for my daughter (which works nice when she falls asleep in the car seat because we don't have to move her). But this umbrealla stroller is great. It doesn't tip over when something is on the back and the seat is empty - just put the bags on the side with the cup holder or it may unclip the seat from the bar when it is reclined. It has a cup holder, so my son and I can have a drink and it easily stores. Also, the side pockets are perfect for a burp cloth and snacks for the older one. I have not used the canopy yet, so I can't review that. But the seat cover/head rest is a nice feature. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking for an umbrella stroller. The only complaint I would have is the color - it's pink and I'm not a pink fan, but since she is a girl I couldn't bring myself to buy the blue or gray.Customer Review: Really Great Umbrella Stroller
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this stroller afer getting fed up with my cheap Wal-Mart umbrella stroller. Can I just say, I love it? Because I do! I am finally able to take my daughter out onto the walking trails and not have to worry about the rocks or the wheels getting stuck. My daughter is in love with it as well, and enjoys the ride much more than she ever did with the other stroller-she even asks now "can I ride in my stroller?". The weight limit is 30 lbs, but my daughter is very small for her age, so if you have a tiny toddler, this a great find as well. I love that it has two positions, a drink holder and a back flap to cool off those little backs in summer heat. The only real issue I have had is the top shade likes to pop off when I put it in the trunk, but it snaps back on easily and should get worn into shape with time. Another great thing about it is it has higher handles than regular umbrella strollers, so you dont feel as hunched over. The average sized man or woman should be able to steer this stroller comfortably.
This really is a great inexpensive stroller, and I would highly recommend it to other parents looking for one. If I had known how good it was I would have bought it a long time ago!
Customer Review: Ok for what is...I guess
Summary: 3 Stars
We ordered this stroller and ended up returning it. It comes pretty much exactly as advertised. However, it did seem to be a little smaller than I thought it would be. The height is fine, but this stroller is very narrow. I'm not sure how they expect a baby near the weight limit to fit in it. Also, although I knew it did not have an underneath basket, I didn't realize how much you actually use it. Not having one is a huge detriment to me, even on very short outings. Another thing was that for some reason whenever I used it I kept kicking the back wheels with my feet as I walked. The replacement stroller we got seems to be very similar in height, but the design must be just enough different that I don't kick the back wheels. We ended up buying a slightly more expensive Baby Trend stroller that works much better. I has both the under basket, and its a little wider. All in all, I won't say its a bad stroller, but I couldn't recommend it. Also, if this is your first stroller, trust me you will want the under basket. If your current stroller has an underbasket, try using it for a week or two without using the basket. Then, I think you'll look for a different stroller.
