Exactly 3 months after I bought this stroller, a bracket on the back that holds the bars together popped off, making it dangerous and impossible to use. Luckily I bought the extended warranty and will receive a full refund (in-store warranty expired just 3 days previously).

When I tested the stroller at the store, I thought it seemed very flimsy and felt it wouldn't last long (which is why I bought the warranty), but the idea of having such a great stroller is why I decided to take the chance. PROS for the stroller: very light, compact and easy to fold; easy to maneuver; great for tall people like me--don't have to hunch over to reach the handles. There are some nice little things too, like ventilation for the back, a headrest, a cup-holder, and a reclining position.

CONS are: only rated for carrying children under 40 lbs in each seat (didn't know this when I purchased it)--I have a 35 lb. 2 y.o. and a newborn, so we don't exceed the limit there, but my 42 lb. 3 1/2 y.o. can't use it. The canopy doesn't cover kids well from the shade (only the face--and that's a big deal when living in southern AZ--or if it's raining)--and when the seat is reclined (for my newborn) the canopy doesn't even cover her head (I have to clip on a blanket and drape it over). My 2-y.o. practically is too big for it--her head extends above the top of the seat. And finally, the general construction of the stroller is not sturdy.

Overall, this COULD be a GREAT stroller, but it's just not sturdy--obviously not, it broke--but one would expect that with a brand name "Jeep" it would be built better. We only use it for walks and going out, no off-trail stuff--we used it about 10 times before it broke. My umbrella stroller I bought 6 years ago is still going strong--why can't they make this just as well-built? I would love this stroller if it were just built better.

I was looking for a double stroller that I could get in and out of my sedan easily. I didn't like the tandems because they not only take up tons of space, but they are also very heavy. This stroller is light, and I can take it in and out of my trunk with one hand. Plus, because my kids are heavy enough to push, I am not pushing an extra 25+ pounds in stroller. Because it is side-by-side, it can be a tight fit going through some doors, but I have never been unable to get through a door.

My husband thinks that some of the parts are cheap and look like they can break easily, but with 6 months of lots of use, we have had no problems. The sun visors have bent at an angle when storing, but I can still use them fine and I like that they rotate down, so you can angle them with the sun. I am so glad that I bought this rather than a larger, more expensive, heavier tandem stroller.

I purchased this stroller about 6 weeks ago for my 11 month-old twins as a more compact and lighter alternative to my Graco Duoglider. I chose it over other double umbrella strollers because of its lower price. When my husband and I go for a walk I make him push this stroller because it is a little too short for me to use comfortably (I'm almost 6 feet tall). Both of us sometimes accidentally hit the brake with our feet as we walk, and this is a little annoying. It does fit through most modern doors, but if you're going to an historic area of town where the buildings are older, I don't think it would fit. As with all umbrella strollers, you must be careful not to hang anything off the handles that is too heavy, otherwise the stroller can tip backwards. The canopy doesn't cover much, but it's better than nothing. There is one position to recline and we've used that as well. The mesh backing is great when it's hot, and you can cover it when you don't want the air flow on the kids' backs. One advantage of the side-by-side stroller is that the kids can look at each other and get the same view. Also, you are closer to both kids and can see where you are going better. My husband has taken this stroller through grass and over gravel and had no problems, though I'm wary about off-roading. It was pretty easy to put together, and it functions how I expected it to based on other reviews. Overall, I am pleased with the product, but continue to use my Duoglider as my main stroller because its height fits me better and has greater cargo carrying capacity.

We have three children, ages 2 mos to 3 years, and we use this stroller with all three. The seats fold down flat enough that, with use of the seat belt and a head support, our infant does just fine in it. Our 2 year and 3 year old love it because they can sit side by side and talk, share snacks, etc. The only problem we have had with it is that, in 18 mos worth of serious wear and tear (i.e. a dozen plane trips, two vacations, and weekly use at the zoo), the clip that holds it together when folded has gotten warped and so sometimes pops off. The cure? We wrap a luggage strap around it when flying- the rest of the time it is no big deal.

We actually have a double jogging stroller (which cost 3x as much) that, while we loved it for about 2 mos), we haven't used since our second child was 3 mos old. It is big and bulky, and it much more difficult to maneuver. The Jeep double umbrella stroller has been great.

We bought this stroller to pick up our adopted 3 year old twins from India. We needed a lightweight stroller but one that would hold up to tough treatment. This stroller made it through checked baggage to and within India, and has handled many trips with our twins. I see others have had problems with quality, but we were lucky and have had absolutely no issues.

Love it! It's easy to operate. I took it on our trip oversea. Easy to open and close when going thru security and custom, and getting around airport. One downside, it doesn't have undercariage basket to put diaper bags and toys.

I bought this stroller a month ago and since then I have been using it every day with my 4 and my 2 and a half year old boys. It's practical, easy to close, easy to open, lightweight, it fits everywhere, it went all through New York and Disney and two plane trips and it is still intact.
The cup holder is no use, I took it off as it kept falling, but I don't think it's such an important item. And of course it has no basket people! It's a practical stroller which meets all the expectations for what it was made! And the price is unbeatable!
I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase. Plus a thumbs up to Amazon.com which sent my order 24 hours later, even though I had chosen standard shipping! 24 hours after my purchase I had the stroller at home!!!!!!

I really like this stroller! It is super light, easy to manuver, folds up nicely, my girls love it..and the really love being next to each other! With my stadium stroller someone was either kicking the back or pulling hair..and fighting who is in back or front...the only thing I would say about it...it does just about make it through the door ways..it makes it but a tight squeeze. The canopy I can't figure out for the life of me ...but that is minor...cup holder is decent and at least it holds something. No storage bin but I hang everything from the handles...it's a good buy for the money and my kids love it and that is all that matters!

Don't buy this stroller. The only good thing about it is that you won't be sad if you leave it somewhere. The "restraints" don't restrain at all. My one year old twins barely stay in it so when we're in a store they can reach very far to pull down all sorts of things. (not safe) The stroller barely fits through regular door ways - and I mean barely fits. It does not maneuver well at all and is difficult to stear. The "adult drink cup holder" snaps off when struggling to go through doors and I don't have to describe what a mess that is. I'm just lucky I don't drink hot coffee; otherwise I would be suing the manufacturer for burns to the children. There is no storage. The "saddle bags" can hold a few small things but you should only use it for things you don't mind the children being able to reach. This stroller is not only a nuisance, it has potentially dangerous features, so please don't buy it.

I have a 2 1/2 and 1 1/2 year old and I don't care for this stroller. The main issue is that there are no shoulder straps, it only has a belt strap so both kids like to try to stand up while they are in it. Based on that issue alone, I would not buy this again.

On the plus side, it is relatively light, as double strollers go, and that was the main reason that we purchased it. It's light enough that I can lift it in and out of my trunk without my husband's assistance.
