After owning it for two weeks, and navigating it through several airports, I am very happy with this stroller. I did a lot of research before purchasing it. I wanted a stroller that was smaller and easier to manage than the (used) Graco LiteRider that I had been using, but still a little more than just a standard umbrella stroller. This stroller fit the bill. (I've been using this stroller with my 10 month old who is 22 lbs and 28 inches).

PROS:
*Rolls very smoothly
*Navigates and turns very easily. I can easily push it with only one hand (when necessary) on indoor surfaces and sidewalks. Sorry, haven't tried it outdoors yet, other than sidewalks, so I can't comment there.
*Light enough to lift and move one-handed without difficulty.
*TRUE one-handed fold. You really CAN fold it, then lift it, with only one hand, and it is very easy and natural after just a little "practice"
*Reclines. Not to a fully horizontal position, but to a do-able napping position for my 10 month old.
*Relatively substantial (for a stroller this size/weight) basket underneath (I put a mid-size diaper bag and my purse in it).
*Trays for parent and child.
*Stands upright on its own after folding
*Nice sun canopy with "window"

CONS:
*It lacks any sort of "locking mechanism" to keep it from opening from the folded position. BUT NOTE: I don't see this being a problem in most daily use situations. Generally I probably would not even want to "lock" it, because, not being locked, it is very easy to open one handed. It does not come open in the car, and it stands upright on its own if you set it on a flat surface (at home, etc.). However, I was worried about it on airplanes. My solution: Zip Ties. ALSO NOTE: Oddly, the picture of the stoller on this site, as well as the product box, shows a red piece on the side that one would think is a locking mechanism, however, it did not exist on the product in any of the boxes at the retailer I purchased mine from. I haven't gotten answers from the manufacturer yet.
*The childs cup holder is not big enough for most standard sippy cups. However, at this price, I can live with that. It is GREAT for cereal o's.
*It would be nice if it would recline a little bit further, and I don't really see why they can't arrange that. But, as I said, it is a do-able napping position, so at this price... give and take.

Neutral:
*The stroller is very comfortable for me to push. I am 5'4". It is probably fine for most, but I can imagine that if you are quite tall, it might be a little short.
*I read several reviews complaining about the "slippery" fabric. I guess it is a little bit slick, but for me and my 10-month old, this has not caused any problems or issues. Just make sure your child is buckled.
*The "cargo bags" seems kind of silly and useless to me. They are small and flimsy, and I just took them off to simplify. But who knows, maybe you would find a use for them. Maybe I will, too, someday. Maybe.
*I think the fabric colors are a bit darker than they appear in the picture. The main color is a darker slightly greenish khaki. I, personally, like the look of it. It is very neutral (and gender neutral as well).

I had my doubts about this stroller because of the low price (*Keep an eye on the price because it fluctuates*). However, after reading all the reviews and specifications, I decided to give it a try even though I am 6' tall. The Amazon ordering experience was top notch. When the stroller arrived it came in the original box from the manufacturer, pictures and all. I found the assembly to be very easy, the basic instructions gave me all the direction I needed, and the stroller was up and running in about 15 minutes.

I decided to test my primary worry, the height. When unfolded, the stroller handles came to just about 38 inches. I was able to stand comfortably and easily push the stroller without straining my back. Now, of course if you stand completely straight up (at 6'), you will begin to feel yourself reaching that maximum safe comfort zone. Still though, I found it acceptable. The stroller is considerably light, and has a quality appearance. The Jeep branding certainly adds to the overall flavor. I was suprised at the overall high quality impression this stroller gave me. It did not look cheap at all. In fact, I would never have guessed it was so affordable just looking at it!

There is some marginal shock absorbing ability in the front wheels, which is sufficient for normal use. When folded, I found that it fit very easily into the trunk of my mid size Pontiac Grand Am. It folds very well and with little effort (after pushing the folding button). It stands upright and does not unfold by itself (unless the wheels are not in the correct position). It does recline to a reasonable level, and contains storage bags on either side. I would not recommend using this stroller for jogging or operating off road.

Pros:
- LightWeight
- Nice Colors
- Jeep Branding
- Shock Absorbing Front Wheels
- Easy Folding and Unfolding (can be done with one hand)
- Great Price!!
- High quality "look and feel"
- Parent Tray and Child Tray
- It is inexpensive enough that you could probably also buy a second "other" stroller for a different need.

Cons:
- No Folding Lock mechanism (Hardly a complaint though, given all the other good attributes)

Overall, I am very happy with my purchase, and would definitely recommend it! Great for those with a busy and active lifestyle.

After reading all the good reviews and considering the price, I ordered this for my 7 month old daughter. The good part is - this stroller is light weight, easy to assemble and move around. However during our very first trip to the mall I noticed that our daughter likes to lean her head to the side. This stroller does not have a head support flap, so my baby's head is actually leaning against the metal rod; not good. Also, the material is plastic like ( polymer) and tends to not dissipate body heat. I decided to buy a padded body support from a local store for this stroller but instead bumped onto a better stroller: Graco LiteRider, which I ended up ordering from amazon (this is much better and the price is almost the same). I am going to return this jeep stroller back.

We absolutely love this stroller!! With that being said, I will give you the back story. We like everybody had the stroller car seat travel system when my son was a newborn. When he grew out of that car seat we sold it. We bought a jog stroller and an umbrella stroller for quick trips to the store or around the mall etc... Well the jog stroller is too bulky to take in the car or to go around mall or any store. We had to use the umbrella stroller, I hated that it didn't have a cup holder for me or for my son. It also had no under stroller storage for my purse or anything. So when we saw this we purchased it, it had everything we needed and it was light weight like umbrella stroller and had an awesome price. We have had this stroller over a month and use it everyday. I would definitely recommend this jeep stroller we love it!!!!

Although this stroller had a lot of negative comments, I still decided to purchase it. Upon receiving the stroller I have to disagree with a lot of "cons" other people have said. For one my stroller came with a locking mechanism, It was so simple to assemble, I did it myself in less then 10 min. I own another jeep stroller that was just too large to navigate through stores, or malls, and this one is the perfect size. It's so light (I can lift it with only one finger!!) It has plenty of room for a small diaper bag, and a bag of yours. Overall I'd recommend this stroller, it folds very easy and fits in my small 2010 Toyota corolla without any issues. This is definitely a great stroller! despite any negative reviews!

For the price its the best your going to get. You can truly open and close it with one hand. I did it while holding my 3.5 month old.

Love this stoller! Small, compact, and easy to fold. It is a graduated version of an umbrella stroller. The wheels are not meant for rugged terrain or jogging, but for going in and out of places and walking long distance, they have been fine. My little one sleeps good in it too. Seat easily reclines and I have reclined it after she's fallen asleep and it didn't wake her. The snack tray is a good size for eating off of. The undercarriage is nice for light weight items. I am six foot tall and stroller height is suitable for walking. Great price!

Bought this stroller to keep in the car for my 8 month old grandson. I wanted something comparable to his Evenflo travel system stroller, but not as big. After looking all over online, I decided on this one. It fits better in the car and is easier to get in and out of the trunk. I like the one handed open and close. My grandson seems very comfy in it. The tray is narrow enough on the side that I was able to hook a toy to it using link-a-doos, so no dropping them on the ground. The parent tray is small, but the cup holder will accomodate a 20 oz Propel water bottle. The peek-a-boo window on the canopy is big enough to see the child. I don't know how easy it was to put together, but it must not have been too difficult, my daughter put it together by herself and she's more 'assembly-challenged' than I am.
My granson is still just an infant, but he has plenty of growing room on this stroller.

The recline strap on the back is horizontal, rather than verticle like on his Evenflo. I seemed to have better control laying him down with the horizontal strap.

I'm 5'5" and the handle could have been an inch or so higher for my personal pushing preference. The handle is 37/38 inches from the ground, but it's something I can live with.

The little pouches on the sides are a nice feature. Not sure what exactly we'll use them for, although I did toss a couple individual wet-wipes into one of them...just in case.

It pushes very easily...although not so much across grass, and it's got a very smooth ride.

The only thing that I would have liked to see on this stroller was a latch so it would stay together when folded up. But I knew from other reviews it didn't have that.

We've only had this stroller a few days and have only used it once, but it seems like it was a good buy. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a lightweight stroller with features like that on a travel system stroller.

I bought this stroller for my 1-year-old granddaughter, because we were tired of hauling the Graco metrolite in and out of the car. She likes a tray and it's hard to find a small, compact stroller that also has a tray. This stroller is perfect. And it's no headache whatsoever to manuever it through crowded store aisles. I bought this one for my daughter, and after checking it out, I bought another one for myself since I babysit a lot. The price is right, and I think it will hold up just fine.

After having owned this stroller for 3 months, I have to say I am quite happy with it. It rolls well, folds easily, and my toddler loves it. It is very lightweight, and contrary to other reviews, it does have a locking mechanism to keep it from opening. There is a red hook on the side that will lock it into a closed position. The only reason I am giving it a 4 instead of a 5 is because the handle is not tall enough. I am 5'7" and I find that it would be much more comfortable if the handle was about 2-3 inches higher. I find myself using my fingertips to push it often because gripping it makes me have to walk too close to it and my feet hit the wheel bar. I wanted to make sure to post this because another reviewer posted that she is 5'8" and it is comfortable for her, I bought it based on her review eventhough I was looking for an adjustable handle. Now I am searching for an extender. If I were less than 5'5" or so, this would be the PERFECT stroller.
