Product Name: Jeep Overland Jogging Stroller
Rating: 9/10

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, there is a child tray, parent tray with a "music on the move" hook up for IPods or walkmans, and the canopy 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. It has an adjustable 5-point harness, a big 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 over 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 (lost all my baby weight with it) while keeping my son nearby and 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 enough to disturb the neighborhood.

I've used this jogger on the street, sidewalk, grass and dirt trail 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.

Description: Jogging stroller with many pockets, cup holders, and storage with adjustable canopy to block sun.

Review: I like this stroller overall, but it is very hard to steer. When you want to turn you must lift the stroller back, with front wheel in the air. I love all of the storage compartments and cup holders, but if I had to purchase again I would not. I would purchase a jogging stroller with a rotating front wheel.

Description: Very affordable single child stroller. It folds up really smooth and easy, has convenient rear wheel locks, a head rest for baby (under 35 lbs), along with a fold out sun shade/umbrella.

Review: I hate lugging huge things around, and I completely fell in love with this very affordable single child stroller. The all terrain wheels really work great too, I've taken mine over dirt, gravel, and grass and it keeps going without getting stuck. The fabric wipes clean
easily, and mall, the park, the zoo, anywhere you take baby. I've even run into the grocery store with it to grab some milk, it's that quick to set up.

There are two little "saddle-bags" on the side to carry snacks and stuff. The lap belt works smoothly, I can snap or unsnap it with one hand.

I can't say enough how convenient it is to have such a compact little stroller in the back of the car that I can whip out any moment for strolling in the mall, the park, the zoo, anywhere you take baby. I've even run into the grocery store with it to grab some milk, it's that quick to set up.

Criticism: I wish it had a strap to hold it folded together after I've stored it under the seat in the car.
