Parents say the Kolcraft Jeep Wrangler Umbrella Stroller is an excellent choice for a second stroller, or if you just don't want to spend so much. Experts say that, while it doesn't compete with high-end, more durable strollers such as the Maclaren Triumph (*Est. $170) or the Maclaren Volo (*Est. $125), the Kolcraft Jeep Wrangler umbrella stroller works well considering its low price. Although similar in price, the Evenflo XSport has an edge in user reviews. The XSport includes a lower storage basket, one feature missing on the Kolcraft stroller.

"Baby Bargains," an excellent all-around source of baby-gear reviews, includes a good section on strollers. Not every model gets an individual write-up, but major brands, including Kolcraft, are covered and compared in some detail. Parent-written reviews are another good place to look for information on the Kolcraft Jeep Wrangler umbrella stroller. Epinions.com has a few, as do ToysRUs.com and Windsorpeak.com, the "Baby Bargains" online forum. ExpoTV.com is worth a look as well, especially since owners posting video reviews there are able to actually demonstrate -- rather than just describe -- the Kolcraft Jeep Wrangler stroller's strengths and weaknesses.
