Kolcraft Jeep Wrangler All-Weather Umbrella Stroller

Safety

Lacks a five-point harness. Parents say the Kolcraft Jeep Wrangler All-Weather Umbrella Stroller is durable and sturdy, especially for the price. What the Wrangler lacks to be competitive with the best low-priced umbrella strollers is a five-point harness to keep children more secure in the case of tip-overs and to prevent them from slumping in the seat while napping. This is a particular issue with a non-reclining stroller like the Wrangler as upright children are more likely to fold forward when sleeping. The stroller has non-linked brakes that operate individually with a food pedal.

Ease of use

Lightweight and folds simply. Owners say the Kolcraft Jeep Wrangler All-Weather Umbrella Stroller is easy to assemble and once assembled is quick and easy to fold and unfold. Many parents keep the Wrangler in the car trunk for quick errands.

Lifestyle features

Good for hot climates. The Kolcraft Jeep Wrangler All-Weather Umbrella Stroller is a bare-bones umbrella stroller that includes a few extra convenience features, such as a seat pad that rolls up to ventilate the mesh seat in hot weather and can be rolled down in cool weather for warmth and comfort. The Wrangler comes with a cup holder and a small, under-seat basket. The Wranglers lower 40-pound weight rating, smaller seat and lack of recline limits the usable life of the stroller from older babies to the mid-toddler years.

Customer service

Experts say this brand offers good value. The Jeep Wrangler carries an industry standard one-year warranty.

Bottom line

The Jeep Wrangler is a decently featured umbrella stroller for the price, but it is missing a few key components to make it a really good value. It should have a five-point safety harness for safety, and a higher weight rating would increase its usability.
