Cons
- The frame started squeaking noticeably after two weeks of use
Our Verdict: Jeep PowerGlyde Plus
The Jeep PowerGlyde Plus scored 69 out of 100 across the five criteria we score every umbrella stroller on, and took Best Umbrella Stroller for Cracked Sidewalks in our umbrella stroller guide.
The wheels do the job. The slightly larger, textured wheels coped with cracked urban sidewalks much better than the usual umbrella wheel.
Durability is the worry: the frame began to squeak noticeably after two weeks of use.
Our Analysis, Comparisons and Test Results
Ease of use
Seven, joint fifth in this guide. The notes say little about the fold. The maker lists locking back brakes and an auto-latch umbrella fold.
Maneuverability
Six, joint sixth in this guide. The slightly larger, textured wheels handle cracked urban sidewalks much better than standard umbrella models. The maker lists puncture-proof 6-inch tires.
Transport & storing
Seven: joint seventh of the 10 strollers. The maker lists 16.7 lb (13.7 lb for the aluminum frame alone) and a folded size of 10 × 8 × 46 inches. The notes record no problem with either.
Build quality
Six, joint eighth of 10. The overall frame build started squeaking noticeably after two weeks of use, which is what holds the score at 6.
Kid comfort
Six, joint fourth of 10. The notes say little about the seat. The maker lists four recline positions and a UPF 50+ canopy with an extendable sun visor.
Should You Buy the Jeep PowerGlyde Plus?
Buy it for rough city pavement, where the wheels matter more than anything else.
Watch the frame early on. The maker lists 16.7 lb for the stroller, 13.7 lb for the aluminum frame alone, and a folded size of 10 × 8 × 46 inches.
All five criteria were scored the same way across the guide, which is why these numbers are comparable at all. None of them can tell you which trade-off you are willing to live with.
