Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller with Front Fixed Wheel, Fierce (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I spent a lot of time researching what kind of stroller to get. I am not a "serious" jogger, but like to have the option of running outside. So I considered a stroller with a front wheel that swivels but has the option of locking. However I heard a lot of people say that the wheel would wobble when running - and I definitely didn't want to have to deal with that. But I was hesitant to get a fixed wheel jogging stroller because a lot of people complained about the maneuverability. Ultimately, I went with this stroller because it had decent reviews in Consumer Reports and in the customer reviews here on Amazon, and the price was extremely reasonable for a stroller of this class. And I figured if it wasn't something that I felt I could use all the time outside of jogging because of the maneuverability, I would just buy a cheaper and/or used "regular" stroller elsewhere.I'm so glad I bought this stroller! My husband and I used it for the first time this past weekend for our first time out disc golfing this season. It worked beautifully on the road, grass, leaves, rocks, tree roots, dips in the terrain etc. It maneuvered just fine by slightly lifting the front wheel to adjust your direction - and it was entirely instinctual - didn't feel awkward at all. The tires never slipped, and it was even a bit muddy. Granted we only had our 6 week old infant in it so it wasn't extraordinarily heavy, but I can't see it getting much more difficult. We had to use an infant insert (not sold by Jeep) for our baby, but it worked just fine. I loved the fact that it reclined to nearly flat and inclined to sitting up - super easy to do as well. The 5-point harness straps were a little more difficult to adjust, but I imagine that's for safety reasons. You don't want your toddler to be able to loosen his or her own straps. The hand brake was a pain to figure out how to adjust once the front wheel was on, but I don't plan on needing to use it! There is also a foot brake that locks the stroller in place. Putting it together was very easy as well with the enclosed instruction booklet.All in all - highly recommended - even for the casual jogger.9/26/11 - Update - I still love this stroller. I've been out running with it, had it in the mall, out disc golfing several times and it is still exactly what I was looking for. If you are on the fence, definitely buy it!

I am over the moon with this jogging stroller. I had purchased a used Baby Trend a few years ago, and it was just awful. It was heavy, hard to push, difficult to turn, my kid seemed uncomfortable and it pulled to the side. Needless to say, I gave up. I've recently gotten back into jogging again, and having a toddler was making it difficult for me to work out regularly. So, I decided to purchase a new jogging stroller. I did a few days worth of research, and kept coming back to this model- so I bought it. And, I am so glad that I did.First, let me just say that it is a shame so many reviewers marked this stroller down based on the fixed front wheel. This is a safety measure, as it is not safe to jog or run with a swivel wheel. This stroller is NOT intended for trips to the mall or for everyday errand use... it is a JOGGING stroller... it is meant for jogging. I suggest purchasing a separate stroller for trips to the mall.In regards to the wheel, even though it is fixed, I have found it very easy to turn. For small curves to go with the sidewalk, I can just push on the side a bit and it adjusts to my direction. For sharper turns, I just pop a wheely and it turns with ease.The stroller was fairly easy to assemble, and took me about an hour. The reviewers that stated that the wheels come on and off so easy a child could do it are correct... it is super easy. I have not put it in my trunk yet, but with the wheels coming off, I don't see an issue with it fitting. For storage, it is taking up about the same amount of space as my Chicco Cortina; the wheel just sticks out a bit further. The two rear wheels did ship light on air, but a few pumps of air and they were fine. Note: this stroller does NOT come with the pump.I am still a little clunky with folding and un-folding the stroller. It is rather easy, just not as smooth and quick as my Chicco. I suspect that once I get used to it, I will be able to fold and un-fold it more quickly.This stroller is fairly light, and with the wheels unlocked, I have no struggle getting it up and down my stairs. I can also push it with my index finger while my toddler is seated in the stroller. My previous jogging stroller was very difficult to push while jogging, this one is hardly noticeable.The shocks/suspension system are fantastic. I live in a historic city- lots of uprooted sidewalks, broken down concreate, cobble stone, etc- this stroller handles it all, as well as the mud, grass, etc. My son LOVES the ride and seems very comfortable. He will actually ask several times a day to go for a ride! I also love that it has a hand break- just in caseMy son is 2.5 and roughly 30 lbs. He fits very comfortably in this stroller and seems to have room to grow. The fabric is also light- so I think it will still be comfortable when the weather gets warm.It is winter here, so I have not used the parent cup holders. While they are small, they are also deep. With the right water bottle, I am sure that your drink would stay secure. The child cup holder is rather wide, and my son's take-and-toss cups bounce around a bit. I might try a standard sippy cup to see if they hold better.The sunshade is *almost* perfect. It unzips to be adjustable and provides good coverage. I do wish that it is expanded just a bit further without having to unzip and expose his head. I own a total of 3 strollers, and of all of them, this one has the best sunshade.The handle bar is great- I am rather short and this goes low enough for me to jog with it comfortably, but will also go high enough for my 6'4" husband. It is also super easy to adjust.There is a mesh pocket that is attached behind the child seat that fits my iPhone and keys perfectly. The pocket is divided, so they are not sloshing around together and are both very snug. There is a 3rd pocket in the mesh that would be great for a power bar or something similar in size.The cargo basket is deep and easily accessible. I have not put anything in it yet, but it will easily accomodate a day's worth of stuff should we choose to take this stroller on an outing.The only real cons that I have are for the more gimmicky items- the pedometer and the speaker. The speaker doesn't work and the casing that it comes in was flopping around on our first outing, so, I took it out. The pedometer is working for now, but seems fairly cheep. I'm okay with that though, as I did not purchase the stroller for these items. I use a GPS device on my phone to record my workout.Overall, I just love this stroller, and most importantly, so does my son. I am very happy with my purchase and hope to get many years out of this stroller. I'm a pretty picky person and this fits the bill perfectly- and you can't beat the price!
