The Jeep Overland Limited jogging stroller's standout feature -- small speakers that work with an MP3 player -- makes it a favorite with parents posting to user-review sites. Reviewers also give it good marks for overall quality and durability, and owners say it delivers a smooth ride that makes it comfortable for kids. It features 16-inch pneumatic tires in front and back, and the front wheel is fixed, making this a true jogging stroller. Additional convenience features include an adjustable handlebar, kid's tray with cup holder and an odometer. Parents say their children seem to love riding in the Jeep Overland Limited stroller, and some say it's hard to beat the value. However, the Overland Limited is relatively heavy at 27 pounds, and it only has a 45-pound weight limit -- 25 pounds less than the top-rated BOB Ironman (*Est. $350). Some critics say the stroller is hard to maneuver, which is a common complaint among fixed-wheel jogging strollers. If you want a versatile stroller that has a swiveling front wheel for easy maneuverability, reviews point to the Jeep Liberty Limited (*Est. $160). However, this all-terrain stroller has a swiveling front wheel, so it's not meant for serious running.
