Jeep Overland Stroller – Review

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’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.
