Description: The Jeep Overland Jogging Stroller is a traditional fixed front
wheel jogging stroller with an ultra-light aluminum frame. All 3 wheels have
reflectors. The Jeep Overland features a child tray as well as a parent tray
with a "music on the move" hook up for IPods or walkmans, and a canopy that can
swing front or back to block out the sun. It comes in black and silver vinyl and
the seat has ample padding that can be wiped clean with a sponge. The Overland
also has an adjustable 5-point harness, a large lower basket, and a rear brake
system. I purchased mine at Babies 'R Us for $170.
Review: I've been jogging with the Jeep Overland for more than 8 months now with
a son ranging from 15 pounds to 22 pounds. This is my absolute favorite baby
product purchase because it allows me to stay in shape (I lost all my baby
weight with it) while keeping my son nearby, and it lets both of us get outside
in the fresh air.
The rear brake works in an instant and the "music on the move" is a lifesaver to
keep my ambition up. My son even dances along to the music, which is loud enough
for us, but not loud enough to disturb the neighborhood.
I've used this jogger on streets, sidewalks, dirt trails, even grass - and have
been pleased with its ability on all these terrains. I wouldn't use it for
walking or for going to the mall because it's too bulky and difficult to turn
without speed behind it.
The canopy could be a little longer, but it does unzip and slide forward so my
son is never being blinded by the sun.
The basket underneath is big enough to carry 2 full diapers bags, and the parent
tray can hold 2 water bottles. This is a steal for all its features.
Criticism: It's difficult to turn at first, but after a few runs, it became very
easy and I only have to pull up on the back wheels for especially tight turns. I
can do so without slowing my pace at all.
