 Worse Buy Ever April 22, 2010

I have had absolutely nothing but trouble with this stroller each and every time we use it. It is poorly manufactured and next to impossible to close. Each time we have tried to use it we've been stuck in the parking lot for upwards of a half an hour to fourty-five minutes trying to get it to close properly. We've had up to four people trying to close it at one time and still not been able to close it. Its horrendous! Not only that, but its heavy and takes a lot of muscle to maneuver. Most of the time I have to use my full force and all of my effort just to turn a corner. It's hands down the worst purchase we've ever made.
 So great! March 1, 2010

This is a little heavy but that's what you get with a double stroller. It's so nice in the winter because the kids stay warm and it carries all the coats and blankets under in the basket when its too hot inside stores. I do have a hard time trying to close it to put it in the car, so you do need two hands for that. It is very strong and will last. My son loves the stiring wheel in front and I love putting my other boy to sleep in the back because it goes all the way down.
Bad Buy February 25, 2010

This stroller has a great concept but poor manufacturing. After having the stroller for 2 weeks it stopped collapsing properly and a piece broke off of it. For being a Jeep product it has poor quality. After it was 2 months old part of the sun shield broke off that secured the baby seat carrier. This stroller is now useless to us and isn't even 90 days old!
 Good stroller for taking walks February 23, 2010

I use the stroller mostly for taking walks, not running errands. It's much easier to use than the strollers I was using previously, except as others have also noted, when you have to turn. It's harder to turn the more weight that is in the stroller. It's a piece of cake if I only have my 7 month old son in the stroller.
I love the extra storage space underneath. We take walks even in the winter time and I like to store extra blankets, hats and food underneath. I do wish there was a tray for the parents near the handle. I like to have my cell phone, snacks, chapstick, etc. handy without stopping and the single cup holder doesn't have enough storage.
The front seat seems a little tight for an older child, but at least the seat reclines to provide more space. I haven't had to fold it up much to place in the trunk (which fits into my sedan easily), but during the times I have, I have needed help from my husband to do so. The back canopy also came loose on one side, but I am still able to use it. It's just a little wobbly.
 Fine at first, then it gets worse February 12, 2010

I bought this stroller for our twin daughters when they were 8 months old. I chose the Jeep Traveler Tandem mainly because of its compact size -- it folds to fit easily into the trunk of my Honda Accord.
At first, I liked the stroller. It felt rugged, had decent storage, a parent cup holder, and of course, the compact size. It also steered pretty easily in tight spaces such as department stores.
But the longer I own it, the more I hate it.
PROS
1) Good price for a tandem stroller.
2) Fits into a regular sedan trunk.
3) Parent cupholder.
4) Okay storage space underneath.
5) Both seats recline really nicely.
CONS
1) The sun shades on this stroller are basically useless. The front shade barely provides any protection, and both shades constantly fall down, especially the back one. The worst part it, the rear shade is constantly in the way. When it's folded back out of the way, it covers the storage basket underneath, making it impossible to reach inside the basket without struggling to get the bulky shade out of the way.
2) The shoulder straps for the kids are very difficult to adjust. The strap that goes between the baby's legs doesn't adjust at all, so it's now pulling up on the baby.
3) Though lighter than other tandem strollers, the Jeep Traveler Tandem is still pretty heavy for me to haul up into the trunk.
4) My biggest complaint is the steering. It was fine when my kids were light (13 pounds each), but now that they're over 20 pounds each, the stroller is a major pain to steer. It's so hard to push sometimes that I think I've left the brake on when I haven't. Absolutely awful.
I did like that it's a budget-friendly stroller, but I guess you get what you pay for. We've had this for 7 months and I've hated for the past 3 months, so really I got 4 good months of use out it. Waste of money in the end. Now I have to find something else that will last a while. I should have spent the money on a great twin stroller to begin with.
