Opinions re Kolcraft Jeep Wrangler Umbrella Stroller or Other US's

[westamp]

I saw this advertised in Babies R Us for $29.99

Has anyone ever bought this or used this? What's your opinion on this umbrella stroller?

If this is a piece of junk, which umbrella stroller is good? I know about the Maclaren and Peg Perego but I do not want to spend major $$$ for something I'm going to use sometime (I already have a big stroller for that). I just want a mid-priced u stroller. Any recommendations?

We plan to use the u stroller when we travel.

The BB book recommends the Combi Savvy as the next best thing to a u stroller. Anyone have any experiences w/ Combi?

Thanks.

My SIL has this stroller and found that my DB was always kicking the wheels, she said she even kicked them sometimes. You might want to test it out before buying for that reason. HTH.

I bought this while on vacation. I thought that it was a pretty decent stroller for the price. The seat does not recline, it has no underseat storage, and the little pockets are a bit of a joke, but those are the worst things about this stroller. It's not the best steer in the world, but it's by no means the worst. The handles are tall enough that an average sized person, 5 foot to 5'6ish is not going to be hunching just to be able to grab them, the push is fine, and the hood rotates to where ever you want to stick it to keep the sun out of your kid's eyes. I did a review on it back in Febuary on this board. Lemme see if I can find it.

HTH,
