Kolcraft Jeep All-Weather Reclining Umbrella Review

What the reviewers like:
Most parents praise the Kolcraft Jeep All-Weather Reclining Umbrella as a good, lightweight stroller for travel or as a knockaround stroller. They especially like its two-position recline (a rarity in a budget-priced umbrella stroller) and mesh fabric that aids air circulation. Many say that the Jeep performs well for the money.

What the reviewers don't like:
We found a couple of complaints about malfunctioning wheels on the Jeep All-Weather Reclining Umbrella stroller, and some parents say their toddlers quickly outgrew it (despite Kolcraft's 35-pound weight specification). The sun canopy also draws criticism. Some parents say the seat does not recline far enough.

Kolcraft Jeep All-Weather Reclining Umbrella review highlights

Parents seem mostly satisfied with the Kolcraft Jeep All-Weather Reclining Umbrella stroller. This model adds a reclining seat to the Jeep Wrangler (*est. $35), a top choice among inexpensive umbrella strollers. At 10 pounds, the Jeep All-Weather Reclining Umbrella is convenient for travel or quick trips around town. It has a cool-climate seat pad that rolls up in warm weather to form a headrest and expose mesh fabric for increased air circulation. Many parents treat strollers at this price point as practically disposable items; still we found some complaints about malfunctioning wheels, an inadequate sunshade, and foot strap breakage.

Although it hasn't yet been reviewed by expert sources such as Consumer Reports or Baby-Gaga.com, the Kolcraft Jeep All-Weather Reclining Umbrella earns a fair amount of notice from parents posting on Amazon.com and Target.com.
