Description:

Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller Does it require a little bit of motivation to go out for a jog? Maybe it requires some song to get pumped up, say Eye of the Tiger? Or, maybe it's something mellow, something along the lines of a James Taylor. Whatever the musical stylings may be, the Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller can take care of them all. It features the Music on the Move tray which is compatible with CD, MP3, radio, cassette or mini-disc players. It is the perfect stroller for getting the juices going for a jog.

The weather shield keeps wind and debris from flying in the child's face. Maybe it's classic rock getting the blood going or perhaps it's something soft like Phil Collins to provide a calming influence, either way it's no problem getting what is needed for motivation with the Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller with Music on the Move tray. Hook up the musical player of choice and burn the calories while burning some classic riffs.

This is the greatest stroller I have ever had my hands on, The IPOD adapter was a huge selling point for me, the volume is terrific and it really makes me want to go out and walk or run. Its very easy to push and light weight. It came with an odometer so I know how fast Ive gone, it also has a pump to put air in the tires! I feel like a millionaire taking my 3 month old on a walk in this jogger and she loves it too. an other great selling point is that the seat reclines ALL the way down, very few strollers I've seen do this.

This is a really tough stroller as I use it where I used to go mountain biking. Dirt, mud, berms and low creeks were no match--we had a blast with this stroller. It's pretty heavy though and doesn't exactly fold neatly into a small space. But if you take the wheels off it shouldn't be problem. It's a really good product rivaling others costing hundreds more.

Great stroller for the money

This stroller was very easy to assemble, and looks very good. For Amazon's price with free shipping, it cannot be beat. I had a problem with one tire not inflating properly, and customer service at the manufacturer promptly sent me a new wheel with no hassle.

Very sturdy

This is a very heavy duty stroller. The only thing my wife doesn't like about it is that the front wheel doesn't pivot. It folds down but is still pretty large. I have to take the back wheels off to fit in the trunk of our Dodge Stratus. The back wheels do pop on and off very easily so that's not a problem. The tires seem to loose air kinda fast but it comes with a pump. Overall I like it lot and it's very hardcore.

Great Buy

We are very happy with this jogging stroller! We use it for walks around the neighborhood and at the zoo, which it is great for. It has lots of zipped pockets and a nice size basket at the bottom. We love being able to play music. The only thing to look out for is that when it is folded up it takes up a lot of room. And it has taken me awhile to get used to the front wheel not turning, but most jogging strollers are that way. We reccommend this jogging stroller!!

A Comparison with the InStep Safari TT Single Jogging Stroller

About a year ago, we looked at front swivel wheel jogging strollers. We wanted one with a supportive seat that would allow our son to sit more upright than most jogging strollers allowed. We also wanted one with a child tray. We opted to get the Instep Safari TT Single Stroller (which I think is the same as the Schwinn Safari TT Swivel Stroller) over one of the Jeep® Liberty® Limited Urban Terrain Strollers. We were able to buy the Instep much cheaper than the Jeep. Also, the Jeep we saw had speakers for a cd player which we had no interest in using. We have just recently purchased a used 2003 Jeep stroller. For our current off-road, non-jogging purposes, this is working out better.
br /
br /I would like to offer our comparison of the Instep/Schwinn Safari and the Jeep. There seems to be a few choices in Jeep models. Ours is used and I don't know which we have. Therefore, these are just basic guidelines.
br /
br /We've taken both strollers around a neighborhood with sporadic sidewalks and no curb cutouts and both have handled the mixed/rough terrain well. We've also walked on the university campus where there are small (2') hills and both strollers go up and down them fine.
br /
br /My main complaints with the Instep, and what I like about the Jeep, are little things. The cupholders are so shallow that bottles of water fall over. The child tray is not removable. When our son falls asleep we have to lift him out over the tray. The sunshade is beyond stupid. We live in Arizona and the Instep shade provides no protection from the sun. It actually curves upwards. We bought a Kiddopotamus sunshade. Although it provides ample sun protection, our son must essentially look out a tube. The Jeep sunshade is a bit better, but not really. It seems bigger and does not curve up and let the sun in as much, but we still use the additional sunshade. I will address the bad Instep brakes later.
br /
br /The Instep is bigger and the seat for the child is roomier. However, there is more head clearance space under the Jeep Canopy. I wonder if the foot rest on the Jeep will be outgrown faster than the footrest on the Instep.
br /
br /The seat on the Jeep seems better padded. The one we bought was FILTHY when we got it and it cleaned up easily. I had been certain it would be covered in stains, but it looks brand new. The Instep has a thin seat cover that can be removed for washing. However, it is velcroed in place. When our son sits down, we have to hold the pad in place or it slips and wads up underneath him.
br /
br /There are reflectors attached all over the Jeep. The Instep has no reflectors that I've ever noticed.
br /
br /The handle on the Instep is adjustable, so you can make it taller. You can also position it facing backwards and be further back from the stroller. This is probably advantageous for joggers. The Jeep is okay height for me 5'7." My 6' husband has to walk a bit to the side to not kick the stroller when he is walking, but he has to do that with most strollers that don't have adjustable handles.
br /
br /The back wheels on our Instep are bigger than the rear wheels on the Jeep. That might make a difference for someone who jogs. I haven't jogged with either stroller.
br /
br /Our Instep has a locking front wheel as does our Jeep. I don't know if all models of each brand lock or not.
br /
br /The brake system on the Jeep is better. Although they both have foot brakes that interact with the rear wheels, the Instep partially falls into place when you go over bumps. You then get a bump-bump-bump rhythm in the stroller. My husband actually stretched a bungie cord between the handle bar and the foot bar to prevent this. I haven't noticed the Jeep brake falling into place.
br /
br /I like the cargo basket better on the Jeep because it is bigger and much more accessible. Another advantage of the Jeep is for our son. He loves to push the stroller like he does shopping carts. He grabs the horizontal bar at the back of the stroller and pushes. On the Instep, this is the brake so he sets the brake. On the Jeep, he grabs and pushes with the cargo basket so he does not set the brake. The cargo basket on the Instep is very inconvenient. It's small and it is hard to get stuff in and out. I suspect for someone jogging, they would collide with the Jeep basket but not with the Instep basket.
br /
br /We've never used the Instep as a jogger, but rather as an off-road stroller. Now that I have used both, I think the Jeep is better for off-road general stroller, but the Instep is probably better for jogging. I still like the cup holders, brakes, and removable tray of the Jeep MUCH better and think the Instep would be a superior stroller if it had those. Although I like the jeep cargo basket for my purpose, I think the Instep cargo basket that doesn't stick back, the handle that folds backwards, and the large rear wheels could possibly make a difference for a jogger.

For the most part I am very satisfied with this product. To make this review easy to read I will list the pros and cons.
br /
br /Pros: Folds up nice, Comes with a wind/rain shield, reclines all the way back (which makes it easy to change diapers and for nap time), shade moves to provide cover from the sun, LOVE the music speakers that hook up to a cd or MP3 player
br /
br /Cons: Sags to the right for some reason, Cup holders do not hold hold an average sports bottle.

This high-quality jogging stoller is an excellent value. Very well made and easy to put together. The ride is very smooth. The mp3 player does not charge your player, but is instead a set of speakers in case you want to listen to music out loud as you are walking. It works with my iPod, but I doubt I will use the speakers very often. It includes everything you might need (e.g., pedometor, air pump, rain cover, basket, hand break, safety strap, cup holders, etc.). Amazon is definitely the best deal around. The gray, yellow and black color combination provides a very attractive modern look. We will be buying something to cover up the ugly "walk play" logo on top of the mp3 holder.

Cant believe I got all of this for this price!

My husband and I like to hike, walk, and once in a while run/jog. We wanted a stroller that could do all of this with us but since we already have a good stroller for everything else we didn't want to spend too much on it yet still get a good product. We found this stroller read all of the reviews and felt that it would fit our needs. We have since then gone on walks on the sidewalks which this was great for. It handled the bumps and cracks that you run into with no problems. We find it does even a better job when running or jogging. That is when the fixed wheel comes into play. Then we took it on a few hikes where we even went off the trail with it. It had no problems going over branches, eroded parts of the trail, and we even went thru water with it. We did not attach the tray on top. That thing is quite large and heavy. We have no need to play music thru this on any of our trips and our water bottles and our diaper bag all fit in the compartment below. The fixed wheel is more of a problem when going slow. Its not a stroller you would go to the store with. Overall this has been a great product for our family. We are very happy with it.

LOVE IT!

I love this stroller! Since I have purchased it, we've used it for rollerblading, walking, and light jogging. It is such a smooth ride, my son falls asleep every time! The music on the move is awesome, really helps me when he's snoozing! The beat of the music helps me keep up my pace when I'm running or jogging. My son even points to the stroller and says "Walk" (he's 19 months old). I find it easy to steer, but a little more difficult while walking. It is bulky while folded, but it sits in a corner in my house until we're ready for our next trip.

br /I recommend this stroller to anyone! It's wonderful.

Great stroller for outdoorsy people!!!

I absolutely love this stroller. Can't beat the quality for the price. I'm not a jogger...but an outdoors person. We live in the country and don't like to walk near roads with our baby. We just put him in this stroller and it pushes with ease through out the woods and through fields. I love the rain canopy...it's clear so Levi can see where he is going...it is also nice to use on chillier windy days. Keeps him nice and warm. Absolutely love it!! Easy to put together and easy to fold and unfold too!!

My daughter loves going running with us in this stroller. After a couple of minutes she is fast asleep even with the music playing. Its very sturdy. I read most of the reviews on Amazon before I decided on this one. The BOB strollers are nice but you can't beat the price on this stroller.

br /My only gripe would be that it is a little difficult to turn since the front wheels don't swivel.

I gave this product a 4 star review only due to a pull to the right. Even after double checking the tire pressure there was still a slight pull to the right. I due however love the on board music, and so does my baby. We have never found anything that my child was willing to be confined to before. Actually first thing she has napped in while out for our walks. Very impressive in that respect. So Maybe it is a fluke that mine had this problem, but still would recommend this to a friend, just for the fact that it is a miracle that my child will stay in it, let alone sleep in it.

My daughter usually falls asleep when I take her jogging with me. I guess it's due to the comfortable seat and air-inflated wheels. I could not get the hand break to work but I don't see how I would ever use it. Mine did not come with an air pump although the instructions indicated that it should have. It's not great at turning, when you walk to Central Park. As you jog, you can lean to one side to help you move it in that direction. Thanks to this stroller, I can keep in shape for the Leukemia Society's Team in Training events. Go Team!!!! I like the music adapter. I connect my shuffle to it as we run.

Great!

We love the Jeep jogging stroller. Very steady while running. There are zippered pockets everywhere for optimal storage choices. I like the flap that can cover the clear window in the top shade (our other stroller doesn't have this, it always lets in the sun). Straps are nicely padded. Reflective edging material (do people jog at night?) The fixed front wheel makes it hard to turn when walking, but hey, this is a jogging stroller. I think a swivel wheel in front would make it wobbly while running. Happy we got this one.

Great Stroller!

I love this stroller! It rides smoothly and my 10-month old usually falls asleep. We recently went to the beach and used it on the sand. I don't think a regular stroller would have worked. The odometer that it came with didn't work, so I called the manufacturer and they sent a replacement right away, no questions asked. I would recommend this stroller to anyone. It has really motivated me to get back in to a regular running routine since the birth of my son.
