Jeep Liberty Urban Terrain 3-Wheel Stroller —
We purchased this stroller for our son, because our other traditional stroller just wasn't cutting it for walking in the woods and on trails.
This stroller has a great entertainment center for the kiddo, boasting a steering wheel with squeeking horn and cup holders for a bottle or sippy cup. The steering wheel comes off, leaving a place to put a snack or toy. You can also remove that whole piece so that the child can easily get in and out.
The front wheel can be locked into place like a traditional jogging stroller allowing for better control while jogging or on uneven terain. When in the mall or on pavement the front wheel can be unlocked allowing the stoller to turn quite efficiantly.
On the handle there are two cup holders as well as a compartment for keys, cell phone, etc. and there is a nice sized basket under the seat for shopping bags.
The seat can be adjusted for a sleeping child, and there is a nice sized awning that can be pulled out when the sun is bright or when raining - with a small window to look through to check on your child. Child has safety belt that fastens around waist and up between legs and you can also fasten the straps that come down over shoulders (optional).
The back wheels are decked out with shocks - which I think is the biggest fault of the stroller. I had thought that it would make sense to have them to make the ride more comfortable for the child, but have found that it causes the stroller to be more tippy - falling to the side quite easily. I've also noticed that when walking on level ground the stroller seems to lean to the side a bit - maybe the shocks are too soft. Our stroller has tipped twice now and it is very scary when the child is inside. Also, I've had the stroller for about 1 year now, and I have a horrible squeek in the wheel that just won't go away which was there from day one.
The stroller folds down for storage in the trunk or just to save space. Compared to traditional jogging stollers this is a huge advantage. I couldn't make it fit into a Ford Focus trunk, but it would fit in the back seat. It will fit in the trunk of our Ford Taurus and our Dodge Grand Caravan with ease.
Overall, I've been pleased with this stroller - it is quite easy to manuver and offers lots of toys. I think the shocks are not necessary and are more a risk of causing the stroller to tip.
