I'm a first time mom and this is the first jogging stroller my husband and I purchased. We liked it even before our daughter was born! We tried it out at the store and even though it's big it's a comfortable ride.

PROS: I like the style. Love the five harness strap. Great reclining position although my one-year-old isn't interested in this feature. Love the adjustable handle to keep my jogging/running form. Enjoy the 16" bicycle tires which make it fun for my daughter to go over bumps, ruts and pot holes with little disturbance. Great shocks! Wonderful storage below that's easy to access. Like that it's a front locked tire since I only use this jogger for jogging. I don't take it to the mall or for shopping -- just out on the trail. Love all the extra storage with the side pockets and pockets near the handle. Great hand brake and very useful for the downhill terrain. Wonderful foot brake, easy to use and keeps the stroller in place. I don't use the music player I keep my wallet, cell phone and keys in that compartment. Easy to lock.

CONS: A little on the heavy side. I'm able to put it in the back of our truck and bring it up and down our front steps, but it's definitely not a lightweight stroller. Canvas doesn't extend far enough out to keep the sun out of my daughter's eyes, but I do have her wear a wide brim hat. Folds up relatively easily but it's not all that small. It does take up space even when folded but this isn't a huge problem for us. This is strictly a jogging stroller and not a stroller for around town. It's too big and is difficult to maneuver in small spaces. Having said that I have no trouble with it on the trail and control it with one hand for the most part.

Overall I'm pleased with this stroller. My daughter is safe and comfortable inside and she often sleeps halfway through my morning jogs even when I do go over bumpy terrain. I think it was a great purchase for our money. We bought it at the first of the year and it was on sale so that was a good thing budget-wise for us. I'm very satisfied with the Jeep Overland jogger.

I've had this stroller for 20 months and have absolutely loved it. I am a runner and have put a ton of miles on it and know that it'll go a lot more. Due to the stationary front wheel, this is not a stroller for shopping, though; it's definitely for running. I didn't use the pedometer bc I have a Garmin, and I only used the speakers a few times but they worked great when I did. The front wheel pops off pretty easily so I can fit it in the trunk of my Accord or Civic. Before I bought this stroller, I researched a lot of different strollers and decided on this one. I would DEFINITELY buy it again and would recommend it to a friend. I put my 6wk old in it and have used it with her until now at 20 months. This is a GREAT buy!

PROS:
-Adjustable handle: I am much shorter than my husband so the adjustable handle was a must.
-Straight: we have had no issues with the stroller pulling one direction or the other. It has always traveled straight on course for us.
-Adjustable canopy: the shade is fantastic and a must have. It can be unzipped and detached for additional coverage. It sometimes collapses on its own while running, but you can fix that problem by unzipping it.
-Parent tray: great for its musical abilities. You can play music while running, but the parent tray only holds 2 small bottles and weighs about 2 lbs by itself so we don't use it.
-Pedometer: great and useful, but unfortunately it does not come with a time or a clock.
-Seat and straps: nicely padded and my 3 month old seems quite comfortable and they all wipe off very easily. It is very easy to recline the seat when he falls asleep without waking him up. It's a smooth transition from sitting to lying down.
-Storage space: there are all sorts of storage spaces and the mesh bag by the handles it great to hold my cell phone, water bottle and keys.
-Wheels: good size and easily removable. The pump that comes with the stroller isn't great, but it is just enough if I need a quick fill up when I am out.
-Fixed front wheel: stable and perfect for running as it should be on a jogger. It took us little time to learn steering the jogger.
-Ride & breaking system are great.
-Weight: lighter than other joggers (after doing some research online)
-Length: this stroller is not super long like some of the Schwinn joggers can be
-Consumer Reports: this stroller is one of the top rated and has great reviews.

CONS:
-Parent tray: there are two cup holders, but they are too small for the bike water bottles we use. Moreover, the tray itself is about 2lbs so it adds weight to the stroller. But again, it is great for parents that enjoy listening to music while running.
-Folded stroller: when folded up the stroller is huge, but you can easily remove the front wheel. (About 23 x 37 without removing the front wheel.)

No stroller is perfect. You may like or dislike some of them, so you just have to find the jogging stroller that is right for you at the right price.
My husband and I are really satisfied with this stroller and recommended this exact same one to our friends.

This is the first and only jogger I've used but I love it. It has lots of storage and a fully reclining seat for baby. I love that I can "share" my music with everyone too :)
The odometer is excellent to have as well. I have no negatives for this (unless you are looking for something to fold up compactly, it doesn't do that. But it does fold easily), I just love mine!

We purchased this stroller in the spring of '08 and in August the piece that folds down in front of your child with the cup holder snapped off. I emailed Amazon.com and they sent a new stroller overnight and paid for the return shipping of the busted stroller. Happy happy customer with amazon.com customer service.

The stroller has proven to be a wonderful ride for my 14 month old son, he never complains or cries while cruising. The large tires make it a great stroller to take camping, to music festivals, to the park, to the ranch, etc. It is not a stroller that is meant to be hauled around in your car for shopping trips to the mall. The music component is a must have while running/walking outside and we just love it.

I had read several reviews about this stroller before purchasing and was prepared for the front wheel to be locked in place and no swivel action. It has not bothered us too much, although a front swivel would be nice, I feel much safer knowing that the wheel is in place and while I am running or pushing the stroller rocks, gravel, parks, etc.

I highly recommend this stroller!

I BOUGHT THIS STROLLER 3 YEARS AGO WHEN I HAD MY DAUGHTER, AND ITS THE BEST THING I EVER BOUGHT. I USED IT EVERY DAY TO RUN 6 MILES. I LOVE THE IPOD HOOK UP/BUILT IN SPEAKERS NOT A FAN OF WEARING HEADPHONES WHILE RUNNING WITH KIDS, ITS EASY TO ASSEMBLE AND FOLD, LIGHTWEIGHT, RECLINING SEAT, TONS OF STORAGE. I WISH JEEP MADE A DOUBLE =( THE ONLY THING THAT I DIDNT LIKE WAS WHEN FOLDED IT DIDNT FIT INSIDE MY TRUNK OF MY CAR, HAVE TO HAVE A SUV OR TRUCK. I RECCOMEND THIS STROLLER TO EVERYONE.. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.
