The Perfect Gift for the Outdoor Lovin' Mommy to Be!

Do you have someone expecting a little bundle of joy soon and you want to get them a gift they can really use? Along with blankets and onesies, you can't go wrong with a stroller. Once you start looking around you'll find that there is a seemingly endless array of stroller systems available these days. They start with the most basic, and go all the way up to the super fancy, couture style strollers sold in fancy boutiques. When it’s time to buy an umbrella stroller for your precious cargo, the Wrangler All Weather Umbrella Stroller is a perfect choice! It’s much sturdier than the cheapest umbrella strollers, but it doesn’t cost much more than the discount strollers do!

This stroller offers lots of helpful and comfortable features that the couture strollers don’t, and won’t cost nearly as much. This stroller opens and folds up quickly and easily, so it’s no hassle to travel with. It’s equipped with roll up fabric on the backrest that covers a mesh seat. When it’s hot outside, the fabric can be rolled up into a headrest, and this allows air to circulate to keep the little ones cool. It also has a canopy to block the sun. This stroller pushes easier than nearly any other stroller in its class, with comfortably padded handles, and it’s even got shock absorbing wheels! Two cargo bags on the side give you a place to stash small toys or snacks, or even extra diapers when you don’t want to carry a diaper bag. The seat also has two positions for extra comfort. Maybe one of the best things about this stroller is the look. Instead of extra cutesy, pastel, baby patterns, this stroller comes in an attractive light blue and grey color scheme…even the most macho of dads won’t mind pushing this stroller around!

All Weather Baby Carrier

Yes, winter is here in full force, but on those few and far between nice days, you can still bundle up baby and take her for a stroll.

Jeep has an outstanding stroller that is perfect for walking your favorite paths in a local forest or just around the block looking at the squirrels, neighborhood kids and other activity happening in your area. Babies get bored just like you do and getting out is fun and very stimulating.

The stroller is built for comfort and safety, as all Jeep products are. The Wrangler® All-Weather stroller is a lightweight umbrella stroller that has a handy backrest to keep your little one comfortable. In the winter the mesh folds down to keep cold winds from blowing in from the back and in the summer you can roll it up and it creates a great pillow for relaxing or just napping while the mesh lets the air circulate and keep your baby cool and not overheated in the warmer months.

It's also made with all terrain as well as shock absorbing front swivel wheels so your stroller will take the bumps and let your baby just enjoy the ride. The canopy is easily adjustable to keep the sun off your little one and there are even two handy cargo side bags for storage of a juice cup, crackers and small snacks in case you want to make your trek more than just a roll around the block.

The next time the weather is clear, bundle up your little one and take her out for a stroll. Talk about what you see and make up songs as you go - your little one will love it!

Keeping Your Jeep Interior Looking Fabulous


You keep the outside of your Jeep looking fantastic,want to make it easy to keep the interior looking great too? It's easier than you think and you can do it one of two ways:

(1) Detail your interior on a regular basis which takes a little elbow grease and time.

(2) Protect your interior from the get-go by using floor mats and cargo liners.

If you choose the detailing route, there are three main types of cleaning you will need to do on an occasional basis.

1- Regular Detail Cleaning - This entails using a good cleaner to remove spots and giving your interior the once over. A good foamy cleaner is often one of the best to lift out the dirt without having to use a lot of arm work.

2-Speed Cleaning - This is the mode many people clean their interiors in. You will use this when your boss says you need to pick up an important client in oh, say 30 minutes. You won't have time to do a ton of cleaning, so just clean any major spots and use a self drying no rinse foam cleaner that will freshen your car's interior.

3-Oops Cleaning - Parents know the dreaded , "Uh-ooooohhhhhh" from the back seat means their child just dumped their small drink or perhaps opened a packet of ketchup in the backseat - either way - you now have some cleaning to do. This will usually require using a carpet cleaner to lift and clean the spill or "oops" as soon as possible so it doesn't set in.

Or once again, you can forget all that fuss and work and just use slush mats and a good cargo liner made for your Jeep!

'Tis the Season for Muddy Carpets...

You want your Jeep to stay looking nice and do your best to upkeep the interior as well as the exterior, however there is one thing you can't avoid. Winter slush. When snow meets dirt and it gets on your shoes or boots and then melts in the warmth of your Jeep; you get muddy slush and if you're not careful you'll soon have stained interior carpeting.

Most Jeep owners are the kind of people who like to get out and take advantage of everything that Mother Nature has to offer. This will mean heading out for road trips all year long and even braving the elements when the cold and bitter winter weather strikes. While you might have no problem at all when cutting through the snow and ice with your Jeep, you might find it to be a bit difficult trying to keep this mess from coming inside on your feet!

When you are looking to protect the carpets on the floor of your Jeep, help is just as easy as laying down a set of slush-style floor mats. These great floor mats are just the thing that you need in order to hold all of the mess in one place without it being able to escape and stain your carpeting. The floor mats are made from durable material with deep grooves that are just right for keeping your carpet clean all year long. You can even order the slush-style floor mats in either dark taupe or dark slate to match your Jeep's interior.

Keep the slush out of the carpeting of your Jeep, invest in a set of mats and your interior will stay looking new - despite all the winters you take your Jeep through.

Cold Weather is Coming - Are You Prepared in Case You're Stranded?

It doesn't matter if you have the newest model Wrangler or a Jeep that is years and years old. You can get stranded and while you're waiting for help, during the colder months it's essential that you have items available to keep yourself and your family or traveling companions warm until you can get out of the situation.

First of all, put together your own little kit and keep it in your Jeep at all times. Put a few thermal blankets, an LED lantern that runs on batteries not fuel, jumper cables, a basic tool kit, band aids, duct tape, electrical tape, a heavy duty tow strap, road side flairs, a "Help Call Police" sign for your windshield another type of sign that gets a quick response from passing motorists is "Children Inside - Call Police", portable warmers (like hunters and military personnel use) and some people even pick up MRE's (military ready to eat meals) and put them in their Jeep-just in case. The MRE's have a shelf life of years so you can toss a few in your kit and forget about them, additionally many MRE's have a self heating feature so you can warm your insides while you're waiting for help.

In the event you are stranded and you are unable to get a signal on your cell phone, you may wind up spending the night in a cold and dark place. Also make sure a crank battery is part of your kit. You can recharge a cellphone, power lights and other items, even if your battery is dead. Just a few turns of the crank and you've generated electricity.

If you're traveling with kids, they will feel a lot better if you have a lantern handy and everyone can cuddle up with extra blankets. If there is a chance of traffic on the road you're on - put up the sign in your windshield and you can use a roadside flair to make sure your vehicle is visible to any traffic passing by. You can stay warm by popping open the warmers and given one to each child. The warmers work by creating a chemical reaction that will generate heat for roughly two hours. They are available in most military and outdoor supply stores. When you're stocking your roadside kit - stock enough for an overnight stay for at least 3-4 people so you have enough to keep everyone warm throughout the night if you may be stranded that long.

There are a lot of things you can do to prepare for the unexpected. Your Jeep was built to handle the most extreme of conditions, however there may come a situation where are you stranded for a while and it's for those times you need to be prepared so you can get through being stranded in safety and a minimum of stress.

Get Your Little One Outside With a Jeep Trike

Obesity for children is at an epidemic rate and the earlier good activity habits are learned, the less of a chance your child has for becoming a statistic.

For most children, riding a tricycle is easy and because of the stability of the rear tires in conjunction to the large front tire - very little balance is actually required and the child will acquire the necessary balance skills through riding a tricycle to graduate to a bicycle when he or she is older.

The only skill your little one needs to have mastered is to ability to sit up in a chair on their own. In addition to being easy to learn to drive, this tricycle also has some fun features that your little one will truly enjoy such as the rear mounted jerry can that opens for storage and will hold all the "treasures" your little one finds outside.

The saddle seat on this tricycle is very comfortable and the handles have easy grip so little hands don't slip off.

Also, this tricycle has a replica Jeep® grille and fenders and also has the fun edition of built in electronic sounds and lights.

It goes without saying that your child should only ride a tricycle under adult or other responsible person supervision. Your little one may not really be old enough to roll with the bigger kids but they can look and feel the part along with getting great exercise, with their own Jeep Trike.
