Paid $118 from Walmart.com (they had it for $99 in a different color).I LOVE this stroller. I had been using my Comby Ultra Savvy for long walks around the neighborhood and grew to hate it, as my daughter felt every bump imaginable. The last straw was when we went over a big bump and she bit her tongue!  So I voraciously checked out strollers with bigger tires: Bertini (didn't like the steering), Emmaljunga, MBUS, Valco, Phil and Ted's, Bob, Queen Bee. They all had pros and cons, and had big price tags. The Jeep is the best deal for the money. It has a smooth, easy ride, and is steerable with one hand. I went for a walk with my friend and her Valco, and the Jeep took the bumpy pavement and uneven curbs better than the Valco! The Jeep's handlebar is higher too. I also love the toy, or should I say my daughter loves it  It was easy to put together, has a big canopy, is well padded, has a HUGE basket, is a nice color, and has great cupholders and places to store your keys, etc. The only things I don't like about it are: the recline is difficult to adjust (it is a drawstring- the only thing I miss about my combi) and althought the fold is a true one-handed fold, you have to have a strong hand to hold the button in, and I'm not so strong. It also feels kind of heavy- but I think all all-terrain strollers are heavier than my Combi, and because of all the trays etc. it probably doesn't fold as compactly as other strollers, but it seems pretty compact to me. I also wish it was infant car-seat compatible, but you can't have everything.All in all, I'm thrilled I purchased this stroller, and I can't wait to see how it holds up over time and in the winter. I had planned to ask for the Baby Jogger City Single for a birthday/x-mas present, but now I'm not so sure!
