Jeep Wrangler All-Weather Umbrella Stroller

By Beth Fitzsimmons
The Jeep Wrangler All-Weather Umbrella Stroller has taken a hit among ratings, with an average of three out of five stars, so I wanted to investigate why this is. Jeep strollers generally rate well in stroller reviews, so it was surprising to me to see this.  Umbrella strollers are best to use for errands or quick travel through airports—I wouldn’t recommend them for rougher terrains or day-long excursions.

The biggest safety issue with the Jeep Wrangler All-Weather Umbrella Stroller is its lightweight fabric.  Every parent that rated it poorly noted that the fabric that holds the child safely in the umbrella stroller was beginning to rip.  As a parent, I know I want to know that the stroller I am placing my child in is well-constructed with quality materials that are durable.  This doesn’t seem to be the case with this stroller.

On the upside, the Jeep Wrangler All-Weather Umbrella Stroller is lightweight and easy to maneuver.  My suggestion to parents that have purchased this stroller is to write to Kolcraft, the manufacturer of Jeep strollers, and express any concerns.  Let Kolcraft how you feel they can improve this product.  Manufacturers can take the negative feedback they have received on their products and use those suggestions to make improvements.

Mothers are a powerful group of consumers and we need to politely and respectfully let manufacturers know what we’re looking for in a stroller.  If you wish to send your suggestions to Kolcraft, you have a number of options:
