Great inexpensive stroller, October 21, 2009

This stroller is fantastic for the price! It doesn't have a lot of frills (practically no storage at all and not a lot of back support) but it does allow for independent seat recline and can be folded using just one hand. My kids love the fact that the seat backs roll up into pillows and I love that I can hang bags from the handles unlike our day to day stroller. All in all, this is a great stroller to keep in your car, to travel with, or even just to use when you don't feel like lugging something bigger around. One caveat: it is a bit wide so if you live in a big city like New York you may have difficulty going through doorways or aisles. Otherwise, it's perfect.

very convenient twin umbrella stroller in great colors, June 12, 2009
the twin umbrella stroller is easy to handle, cool colors, much more convenient than heavy regular strollers- a friend got one too, and loves it-
Good and bad, May 23, 2009

This product has some very good things and some very bad issues... On the good side, it's inexpensive, very maneuverable, and comfy for the kids. The seats recline so you can put relatively young babies in there. It fits through most doorways, and isn't very heavy compared to most double strollers. I also like the colors. It folds fairly easily. But there are some negatives. First, it does feel a little flimsy, especially when going over rough pavement or dirt roads. There's virtually no shock-absorbancy, and the wheels are made of foam instead of inflatable tires. The sun shades are USELESS - I really hate this feature of this stroller; they are tiny, so you have to keep moving them around, and they won't stay put when they're in anything but the highest position. Also, the handle positioning is weird; the outside handles are too far apart to use them (plus you keep stepping on the middle wheel). But the middle handle is too close to the others to use that comfortably, either. I'd recommend this stroller for use as your "extra" stroller, or for when you need something small-ish or lightweight, like at an airport. If you are a heavy-duty stroller user, don't get this as your only stroller.

great for the price, April 25, 2009

Perfect for our needs, February 25, 2009

The Jeep Wrangler Twin Sport All-Weather Umbrella Stroller fits our family's needs perfectly. We have two children, a son that is 15 months and a daughter that is 2 months. With the birth of our daughter came the need for a stroller for two. My wife drives a Toyota Matrix. Needless to say, trunk space was limited. The stroller is durable and compact (when folded). It handles well whether there is one or two adults pushing it and is reasonably comfortable for the children as it reclines. Even though it seats two side by side it is not unreasonably wide. Although you'd have to enter at an angle with regular sized doors it is not cumbersome and can easily be taken for shopping or walks in the park. It also comes with a cupholder, if that is important to you. The down side is that since it is a compact stroller you cannot carry anything large on it as it does not have underneath storage. It does have 2 pouches located on either side of the stroller to carry diapers, wipes, bottles, etc... Overall, the stroller works for us.
