Best all-terrain stroller under $200
- Great value
- Built-in sound system
- Accommodates a number of car seats
- Low weight limit
- Heavy
- Quality issues
Experts continually pick the Jeep brand, which is manufactured by Kolcraft, as the best budget option among jogging and all-terrain strollers. Parents and experts particularly like the Jeep Liberty Limited, an all-terrain stroller that was a top performer in a recent independent test. It has rugged 12-inch tires, plenty of storage space and a one-handed folding mechanism. The features that parents really love, however, are the built-in sound system (for use with an MP3 player) and the child tray that includes a toy steering wheel and horn. The fact that the stroller can accommodate a number of infant child seats is another plus.
However, the Jeep Liberty Limited is heavy at 30 pounds and its weight limit of 40 pounds is very low. That's 30 pounds less than the top-rated all-terrain stroller, the BOB Revolution (*Est. $390) . This stroller also seems to suffer from wheel quality issues, the major complaint by one review site as well as parents.
The best review of the Jeep Liberty Limited comes from a professional testing organization that reviews 11 all-terrain strollers using a thorough evaluation process. The stroller is also mentioned in one top baby gear book, a popular buyer's guide for children's products, and a review on BabyGaga.com. For owner feedback we turn to Buzzillions.com, which has hundreds of user reviews for the Jeep Liberty Limited.
