Jeep Liberty Urban Terrain 3-Wheel Stroller — 

My stroller plights....
I have three children, and for various reasons, I have had around nine strollers (that's right, nine). First off, I am on my 3rd umbrella stroller. I have not found one that lasts too long. You have to have an umbrella stroller for those quick trips, in addition to your big, bulky stroller. I had my 1st big stroller last about 3 years (a Kolcraft, I think), which is pretty good. Then we had a second child and upgraded to a double stroller (Evenflo, I think). Well the first thing that went were the canopies....they stripped and fell down all of the time. Then the wheels couldn't take many more State Fairs or Apple Fests. And forget taking all of that fabric off to wash it, and remembering how it all goes back on! When we outgrew the double stroller, we won a Chicco stroller through a baby contest, and it was supposedly an expensive, fancy one. It was o.k., but not worth over $300.00 (to me, anyway). The four sets of wheels were independent, but kind of made it even harder to steer. It would go sideways! That stroller did actually stand the test of time, but I never wanted to use it. Then my mother-in-law bought a Graco stroller that was more than an umbrella stroller, but slim and lightweight with a basket underneath and a canopy. Kind of a souped up umbrella stroller. It was PERFECT!....until a wheel broke off in the middle of just strolling along! Don't ask me what happened there! Finally we were expecting our third child and my mother-in-law insisted on a GOOD stroller, this time, for a shower gift (she felt bad that she purchased most of them, and most of them failed).

Where have you been all of my life?
I gotta say, the woman went to what seemed like 100 stores, not settling for mediocracy. She finally decided on the Jeep Liberty Limited Urban Terrain 3 Wheel Stroller. No longer do I have to "put my back into it" when pushing my stroller. I can go over rocks, tall grass, go uphill, you name it - with EASE! She is a big fan of storage, like I am, and the basket underneath this thing is huge, plus it has two side cargo bags and a little compartment with lid on the top (did I mention 4 cup holders?). For the first time, I am ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE with my stroller. I literally love this thing! The pros are listed at the top - too many to repeat...but I will elaborate on the one con: The seat has many reclining positions, but to adjust you have to loosen a toggle and let a string out or tighten it to put the seat up. It is fine now, but if that toggle strips - you will be in permanent recline.

The last word(s)....
I give this stroller a 5 star rating, because so far it has not let me down in any way! P.S. This stroller is not a jogging stroller, they make a searate Jeep jogging stroller. Guess what...I jog with mine. The only differences in the jogging stroller are :it is lighter, has better brakes, and reflectors. Oh, and I think the front wheel does not have the swivel option. I jog with mine all the time - I see no difference. But that's just me.
