Oh Baby: Kolcraft Jeep Adventure Jogger Stroller Review and Giveaway!

Is it just me, or are there a ton of stroller choices on the market?! Full-size strollers, umbrella strollers, jogging strollers – the possibilities seem endless! With my first child we purchased a full-size stroller and a snap and go stroller for quick trips. I wasn’t really thinking about a jogging stroller (probably cause the last thing I wanted to do while pregnant was run!). When I finally did look into the jogging strollers, I quickly realized that they were the best of all worlds. They fit car seats so you can use from birth, they are really easy to maneuver with a smooth ride and were the perfect size/weight compared to many of the full-size strollers. If I could do it all again, I would go straight for a jogging stroller.

After checking out the selection in the stores and reading about them online, one of my new favorites is the Jeep Adventure Jogger.

First, I have always liked black strollers because it is timeless and works for all babies. The handlebar is soft and the canopy has a see-through slot (love!) and is made with thick fabric.

A great feature of the Jeep Adventure Jogger is the iBaby® sound system. You just attach your portable audio device, like an iPod or phone and go:

I have the iphone 5 and it fits pretty well.

Since the iphone5 is slightly bigger than prior iphone models, the cover of the ibaby doesn’t snap perfectly (but does close). I don’t see that as an issue as i’m sure i’d keep it open to access the phone. I’m not sure how some bigger phone might fare so if it might be an issue for you check it out in person. It’s a pretty nice size box though, and keys or credit cards could easily fit in securely. I also love the built in cup holders since I know some jogging strollers don’t include that.

I’m also a big fan of the size of the basket underneath. Trust me, it’s important to have space for extra supplies, bags, toys, etc. when you’re on the go and need those free hands. I like to shove my diaper bag underneath too. I don’t love hanging bags off the handlebars but I think that’s a personal choice.

All-in-all this is a great stroller with lots of bells and whistles, while still looking sleek and not taking up a ton of space.
