HORRIBLE! Do not buy!, October 10, 2008
This review is from: Jeep Wrangler All-Weather Umbrella Stroller (Baby Product)
We received this stroller as a gift, and were glad about it because we no longer wanted to lug around our bulky stroller from the travel system. We wanted something light and compact and thought this was the answer to our problems, but we are terribly disappointed in it. The first thing I noticed when I took a walk was that the handles were too low. I am 5 foot 7 inches and consider myself to be average height, and I had to actually bend at the waist and push the stroller. It was vastly uncomfortable. When I tried to stand straight and walk, only my finger tips reached the handles and my feet would step on the back wheels. I couldn't even count how many times I did that! The width of the wheels happens to be just where my feet would comfortably fall when walking. I tried walking and placing my feet more toward the center, away from the wheels, but it was awkward. Plus, there is no sort of shock absorber or anything and the hard plastic wheels don't handle little bumps well at all. The stroller would hit a small bump or a crack in the sidewalk and my daughter would fly forward. I tried being careful, but sometimes it would catch on the smallest bumps and I'd see her go forward. Even though I had adjusted the straps I could just imagine her falling out of the 3-point harness head first and onto her face on the hard concrete. At one point during the walk I was so frustrated that I seriously considered pulling her out of the stroller and leaving the stroller in the street for a car to run over. I am going to try and take it back tonight, even though I used it, because this is a dangerous piece of junk.
