Kolcraft Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller + Silent Auction to benefit K.I.D.S.

Even though my "baby" is now 2 years old, I still am not quite where I want to be in terms of pre-baby body.  I am mostly concerned with the middle and lower half, it's just not working for me! I have found that with 3 kids, it can be really difficult to find the time to get a good work out in, at least one where the kids aren't bugging me every 2 seconds.  I have been trying different ways to get the exercise in even with kids around.  Yoga isn't really working because its just not relaxing when you have kids giggling and acting silly.  Treadmills and stair steppers aren't always the safest things to have in the house with small kids, and not in my budget right now.  So I decided I would try jogging.  And since I can escape more easily with just my 2 year old, I decided to tow her along in the Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller from Kolcraft! Jogging is a great way to get those buns and thighs in shape, and the resistance of the stroller is an added bonus! I am so excited to jog my way slim!

Personally, I think this stroller is the queen of all jogging strollers!! It really has it all! First and foremost, I love how easy it was to put together. Almost all of it came assembled! I only had to put the wheels on, attach the child's tray, the adult cup holder tray, foot rest and the odometer! This took me about 15-20 minutes to assemble and double check it all.  And best of all, NO HUSBAND HELP NEEDED!! This is important to me! I like to try to do it on my own, but sometimes I have to call in my handy helper.  Fortunately this stroller is easy to assemble and there are only 4 screws to be put in total.

As far as features, there are tons! I mentioned that it has an odometer. This measures both your speed and distance.  This will be really useful to make sure I am keeping a good pace and to push myself to go a little further each time!  Something else I think is awesome is the iBaby Sound System.  You plug your mp3 player or iPod to the connector and you can listen to your favorite songs while you jog!

iBaby and Odometer on the handlebar and parent tray

This stroller has soft-ride air tires.  And the front wheel is fixed which makes it really easy to jog with.  And steering it with that fixed front wheel can be done easily by raising the front wheel and using the back to steer.  The handlebar is a SmartHandle that is adjustable.  To me this is one of the stroller's best features.  I am usually hunched over my stroller since most handles are so low.  That causes strain on my neck and back and makes pushing a stroller really uncomfortable.  This stroller handle rotates to multiple heights, so you can adjust it to the best position for you.

I love this stroller!!

I also love how the seat reclines.  Most seats require you to adjust with a button or something similar.  This stroller uses an easy to use strap in the back to adjust the seat. You simply tighten or loosen to the desired position.  This is the first of its kind I have seen and I really like it. This is a quick and easy way to adjust the child's seat.  The stroller has a great basket on the bottom to hold anything and everything you may need, as well as a hanging mesh holder beneath the parent tray, which I think is a great place for keys, your phone and other necessities you don't want loose.  I love this stroller, it has it all!!!

SILENT AUCTION

Kolcraft is teaming up with K.I.D.S. (Kids in Distressed Situations) to hold a Silent Auction here on my blog! Kolcraft believes in giving back, and K.I.D.S. is such a great cause.  Plus this is a great way to help moms get a really great product for less than retail price! Kolcraft knows that it isn't always affordable for parents to get great quality baby and kids products.  The silent auction gives these parents the opportunity to get this great stroller at a great price, for a great cause! This partnership benefits everyone involved!

Personally, I think this is way more fun than your everyday giveaway!  I am really honored to be able to work with Kolcraft and to help connect parents with K.I.D.S. and raise awareness for this wonderful non-profit organization!!  K.I.D.S. has helped families to obtain crib mattresses, bassinets, strollers and more. K.I.D.S has reached out to more than 64 million children in need since 1985 by distributing more than a half billion dollars worth of merchandise donated by corporations.  This organization is truly amazing!!

A silent auction online is just like a regular silent auction. The starting bid will be $5.  So the first person to bid will bid $5.  The bids go up in increments of $5.  The auction will only run for a week, so you will want to check back daily to see what the current bid is!  The winning bid goes to the top bidder at the end of the auction, which will be 9pm PST February 3. If you are the winner, you will be notified via email on Friday February 4th. You have until midnight Sunday the 6th to visit K.I.D.S and make a donation by clicking the Donate Money Now link.

Easy Stroll Stroller Attachment Review & Giveaway

I love my stroller. It's big, its bad, and it looks good doing it!! Unfortunately being a person with long legs, it can get uncomfortable at times from bending forward to push.  That is why I was so excited to try Easy Stroll!
This extension to your handle bar makes pushing a stroller a breeze-a single handed breeze!!  You are easily able to push the stroller and guide it with one hand, freeing the other hand to hold an older child's hand, or to rest naturally.

I was glad that the installation was simple, because I'm not always the greatest with tools. ☺  I really enjoy being able to push with my natural stride.   You use your natural walk to guide the stroller, not your arms and back.  There are great instructions at Easystroll.com that explain that when you want to turn to the right, for example, simply walk slightly to the left and the stroller effortlessly turns with you!  The East Stroll really makes pushing a stroller easier!


Easy Stroll is available in 4 colors: Grey and turquoise, red and orange, brown and purple, and black.  I have the black, it looks great with my stroller!!  The Easy Stroll is only $29.95!! That is a great deal!!  And with a 30 day risk free trial period, you have nothing to lose by trying the Easy Stroll!! I am sure you will love it!

From Easystroll.com:
"Easy Stroll™ is one product with two benefits...

Convenience and Comfort.

Convenience... Easy Stroll provides total control of the stroller with just one hand.  Your free hand can swing naturally as it would while walking without a stroller or can be used for other tasks, such as carrying a bag of groceries or holding hands with another child.  A free hand is needed at some point virtually every time a stroller is used.  Easy Stroll gives you this new freedom.
Comfort... Easy stroll is an ergonomic stroller handle that promotes proper posture.  Baby Strollers without Easy Stroll require two hands for operation.  "Hunching" over the stroller puts an unnatural curve in your spine.  Unfortunately, these improper body mechanics are unavoidable when pushing a stroller with two hands.  Over time, it manifests itself as fatigue and/or discomfort in the back and arms.  The good news is Easy Stroll fixes the problem.  Using single handed operation, Easy Stroll straightens your back and allows for "normal" posture when pushing the stroller.  There is no arm or back strain."

GoGo Babyz Review and Giveaway!!!

I am one busy lady. My kids are 4 1/2, nearly 3 and recently 1. You could say I have my hands full!! So I love products that make my life easier on a daily basis. The Go Go Babyz Infant Cruizer AT from Go Go Babyz is one such product!!! This stroller system is unlike anything I have ever tried before! The stroller comes as shown above , and you attach a carseat that you already have. The stroller works with the following infant car seat models:

Graco Safe Seat

Click here for a video demo via Invodo.com

They also offer a Twins adapter and the This is the first stroller I have found that allows you to attach a toddler carseat!! It makes it super convenient for plane trips or everyday use!
What really impressed me was the one hand steering!! I was able to walk around our shopping plaza, push the baby with one hand and hold my middle child's hand with the other!!! The steering was amazing, as the wheels go 360 degrees!! It truly is one handed steering. Any mom who has 2 or more young kids NEEDS this stroller!!

Here are a few more details via Go Go Babyz:

A true one-handed travel system - One hand to carry, unfold, secure car seat, and push. It’s perfect for everyday use, travel, and public transportation.

Don't struggle to carry your baby in the infant car seat. The Infant Cruizer Travel-All is so maneuverable and convenient you can take it anywhere - restaurants, drug stores, doctor's offices, taxis, trains and more.

The Infant Cruizer Travel-All is a fantastically convenient travel system for parents who travel with small children, frequently or otherwise. It is also great for maneuvering your child through an urban environment. Its compact design, easy push, and car seat compatibility reduces the need for a stroller on short or long-distance voyages. The Infant Cruizer's fold up design and telescoping handle save a TON of space over full size strollers. With the Toddler Adapter the Infant Cruizer can be used for years as your child grows.

*car seat not included

I was also impressed with the ease of assembly!! I was able to put it together quickly and without the help of my husband!! Truly a great stroller!
