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 one of the top performers in a recent independent test. The Jeep Liberty Limited 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).

The best review of the Jeep Liberty Limited stroller comes from one professional testing organization, which reviews 11 all-terrain strollers using its thorough testing process. The stroller is also mentioned in one top baby gear book, a popular buyer's guide for children's products. For owner feedback, we turn to Buzzillions.com, which has hundreds of user reviews for the Jeep Liberty Limited.
