Jeep Cherokee Sport Stroller

by Kathy on September 12, 2010

I’m not sure what you would call this stroller. It is not a full feature stroller and it is not an umbrella stroller either. And it is definitely not a ‘sport’ stroller whatever its name says. The closest description for the Jeep Cherokee Sport Stroller is probably a lightweight stroller.

Jeep Cherokee Sport Stroller, Impulse

This compact sized stroller weighs only the best part of 14 pounds, and takes up to 35 pounds of child. I think it is good for bringing out on errands round the block because it is so light and not cumbersome.

It’s also good for walks in the parks because its all terrain wheels and shock absorbing front wheels give you freedom to go off the path and onto gravel or grass. You can put a medium size diaper bag together with your purse in the basket, or a book to read in the lovely outdoors.

What’s best about Jeep Cherokee Sport Stroller is the one hand fold. Perfect for driving mums! You can hold baby in one hand while folding the stroller up in the other, and the light weight makes it easy to lift with one hand into the car. One thing that most reviewers noticed is that it doesn’t come with a lock or strap to keep the stroller from opening up when it’s folded. But so far nobody has an issue with this.

The only real con I can see with this stroller is that it doesn’t recline fully, which is not good for young babies who want to sleep more comfortably. Considering that this stroller only takes up to 35 pounds, this incredibly shortened the length of time you can use this stroller (from the time baby won’t need the full recline to the time baby outgrows the weight limit).

Well, luckily the Jeep Cherokee Sport Stroller is so affordable then. It’s only around $50, the price of a decent umbrella stroller.

Graco LiteRider Stroller

by Kathy on September 11, 2010

Despite the fact that many people praised this lightweight stroller, I rather think the Graco LiteRider Stroller is just all right. I much prefer the Jeep Cherokee for its all terrain wheels, but if you want to fit Graco car seats, this is the one to choose.

Graco LiteRider Stroller

The Graco LiteRider Stroller is light weight, maybe a little heavier than the Jeep, but it does have the one hand fold that is my all time favorite feature, because light weight strollers are meant to be folded and carried with one hand sometimes, e.g. up and down stairs, over rough terrain or into the car, while holding baby at the same time!

Other than that and the fact that it can accept Graco Snugride and Snugride 32 and 35 infant car seats, other features are just ok. Oh, and the basket is good too. It is quite a big and accessible basket for a lightweight stroller.

What I didn’t like about this stroller is just like what other users have mentioned as well, that the tray bangs on the floor when you fold it up. The tray is plastic, so that doesn’t look as if it will last the life of the stroller, especially if you fold it up every day.

Plus. the tray doesn’t open up for you to put baby into the stroller, unlike Graco’s other strollers and travel systems. There goes a designer who imagined all babies stay still when you put them into strollers.

This stroller also only run on pavements and smooth surfaces. Although the front wheels do swivel and have a bit of suspension in them, they don’t handle dirt paths and gravel well enough for baby’s comfort.

Like I said, if you need a light weight stroller that will fit your Graco car seats, the Graco LiteRider Stroller is an affordable option. Otherwise, choose the Jeep Cherokee.
