What Makes the Jeep Scout Double Stroller Stand Out?
Functionality
This a highly-functional double stroller that is lightweight and easy to push. The stroller comes with a 5.5-inch diameter front swivel wheel that provides easy maneuverability. The efficient suspension system absorbs shocks and provides a smooth ride to your babies. The multi-position reclining seat lets you adjust the stroller as per the requirement of your babies.
The extendable canopy provides good protection to your babies from sunlight. For added protection, the canopy comes fitted with a sun visor that prevents sunburn and harsh light. The stroller comes with a nice reflective material that ensures the safety of you and the baby. The parent cup holder on the side of the stroller lets you keep your bottle while on the go.
Ease of Use
Though a double stroller, the Jeep Scout stroller is easy to use. The stroller is lightweight and easily fits through a standard 30-inch door. The front swivel wheel offers good maneuverability and parents find that they can navigate it well through crowded streets.
It can be folded when not in use and compactly stored under the bed or in a closet.
Assembly
It is rather easy to assemble this double stroller. The stroller is well designed so all you have to do is to put on the wheels and it is ready to go.
Dimensions
The dimension of this stroller is 23.4 Inches D x 29.9 Inches W x 37 Inches H so it is compact for a double stroller. The folded dimensions are quite remarkable at 13 Inches X 11.2 Inches x 42.1 inches.
The total weight of the stroller is 18.3 pounds which is quite lightweight compared to even some single strollers. Despite being lightweight the stroller is strong and can safely hold up to 70 pounds, with each seat having a capacity to hold a 35 pound child. Parents can easily fit twins in this stroller from infancy to their toddler years.
The stroller comes with 5 ½ inch diameter wheels on the front and back and middle. The six sets of wheels helps contribute to the overall stability of the stroller and keeps it from wobbling when carrying bigger kids around.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Maintaining the Jeep Scout Double Stroller is rather easy due to the fabric having more of a plasticy feel. All parents need to do is to wipe the stroller with a damp cloth periodically to keep it clean. As for the wheels, parents should lubricate them annually to help maintain a smooth ride.
Additional Features
The Jeep Scout double stroller comes with canopy bags on both seats for extended storage. Some parents really like how the dual canopy bags help parents store their baby essentials separately if necessary. The 5 point safety harness comes with reflective material to help people easily notice you and the baby even when it is dark.
Jeep also has some great optional accessories available for this stroller, like a mosquito net to protect your baby on summer nights.
Final Verdict
The buyers of the Jeep Scout double stroller are looking for a lightweight but sturdy and dependable double stroller and Jeep does not let them down. The Scout stroller is rugged and dependable. It is not equipped with the sort of tires to take it far off the beaten path, but with its twelve wheels it will keep on rolling.
