Baby Trend Expedition® Double Jogger, Elixer

This is my favorite stroller hands down!I've owned several strollers with the ones I most recently sold made by Baby Jogger (Performance series double) and Joovy Caboose.The Baby Jogger had a fixed wheel, and turning it required I push the front wheel in the air. This was difficult and frustrating because with two children of differing weights, towards the end of a walk, I was really tired (which can be bad depending on what time of day it is).The Joovy Caboose was a great stroller with the exception of the small wheels that hated uneven pavement. I had to avoid little bumps because the stroller would come to an abrupt hault causing angst in my children. I always felt I had to look far ahead to anticipate which way I'd have to maneuver the wheels to avoid a wild ride.So, I figured I had to find a decently priced double stroller that had big rubber tires and a front wheel that swiveled. It seemed like a very tall order until I saw the Baby Trend Expedition.Amazing.It pushes effortlessly with one hand (with a 40 lb. child on one side and 27 lb. child on the other). The space on the bottom is so generous and can easily fit 4 lightweight bags of groceries.I have always owned no frills strollers but the parent cupholders and center console with lid are really nice and it feels like a luxury item.The canopy is really nice although doesn't come down as low as my old Baby Jogger, it's very adjustable to keep sun out of your children's eyes even if they're differing heights. There is a little window that opens up with a screen on it. There is no plastic window there like on my Baby Jogger. It basically feels like the netting on pack n play walls.The handlebar feels like it's made with bicycle tire rubber. Nice touch! I'm so used to the foam handles that fade and flake off with age. If you've ever had a child that liked to pick on the foam, you're well aware that it's not super durable for the long haul. This handlebar seems like it will outlast all the others I've owned.Putting the stroller together was a little frustrating. Have an adjustable wrench and crosspoint screwdriver handy. My husband wasn't available so I did it myself which felt rewarding but I could have used his muscles.Our children LOVE walks so they were ready to go as soon as I was done assembling! It fit nicely through our front door and it rides sooooo smoothly. Uneven pavement, stones, grass...you name it; it drove over it all without hesitation. I'm comparing this with the older model Baby Jogger, Joovy Caboose, Jeep stroller, various umbrella strollers and a Maclaren double--all the strollers I've ever owned.I decided to purchase some 100% cotton liners since the seat fabric isn't very breathable. With toddlers, I don't want to wipe down seats all the time. It's easier just to throw a removable liner in the washer when necessary.I bought "Sleeping Lamb" brand reversible baby seat covers. I also installed "DorDor & GorGor" brand organic baby seatbelt cushions since the nylon straps can be a little rough on a sleeping baby.I'm thrilled beyond belief. 😍If I could dance down the street without the neighbors looking at me strangely, I would. Walking with a double stroller has become more of a pleasure again. This stroller was a game changer AND it wasn't overpriced. So perfect!

The media could not be loaded. Ok first off if you are reading this and have 2 kids just add to cart now and buy! Especially when it’s on sale I waited and purchased it for $174.99 it’s amazing the best double stroller it’s light weight, you dont even have to push it glides and let me tell you this is my 3rd double stroller other two I returned because I have a 3yo and 18months old and I should not be sweating pushing these kids. First walk with this stroller I started running it glides it’s light weight it turns easy it works on all terrain it’s just amazing it folds up pretty small fits in my sonata trunk and that’s a small car it’s just amazing would recommend to any mom of doubles or dads my husband runs with the kids in this and he’s shocked how light the kids are in this stroller

This really is an amazing stroller!!!! Especially for the price!!!! It fits my 3 years old and 4 month old very comfortably with plenty of wiggle room! The storage is really great although the under carriage is separated into two smaller storage spaces i can still seem to fit everything I need! It's comes with two cup holders and a storage case which is great to hold your phone, keys, etc. There are also two large pockets on the back of the seats for more storage! This stroller also is soooooo SMOOTH and turns really easily. It fits through standard size doors which I was worried about before buying because some reviews said it didn't but I'm here to say it definitely does. Sometimes I just need to wiggle it through but I have never had to take the wheels off to fit! I would 100% recommend this stroller to anyone with 2 or more children! I love going out now with both of my kids because this stroller just makes It that much easier!!!

I cannot say enough good things about this stroller. I was honestly hesitant about it because it was so inexpensive compared to other brands. After assembling it and pushing it around, it is my new favorite thing!I initially purchased a used jogging stroller, as I swore I would never be one of those moms that used a side-by-side model. I did not realize that some jogging strollers had a swivel wheel while others only had a front wheel that locks in place. I, unfortunately, purchased a used stroller (one that is no longer manufactured) with a locking wheel. This meant that I could not go around curves without lifting the front of the stroller. After a couple of walks with my infant twins, I realized that this was not going to work for me! Hence the reasoning for making this purchase. (Note, this stroller has a swivel wheel, but it also locks into place if needed).First of all, it is a really snazzy looking stroller. I love the colors, and it is well made. I put it together by myself very quickly and easily. It was packaged well, and for the most part is assembled right out of the box. The only things that I had to do were pop the wheels into place and screw on the foot rest and parent tray on the top. There is storage underneath each seat as well as a pocket on the back of each seat. Further, the parent tray has room for bottles of water as well as a little covered boxed area that I can place my phone or keys in so I don't have to worry about losing them.The canopy is also awesome because you can adjust it to allow for wherever the sun is aiming. Once placed, it locks into place so that it doesn't flop around. This was an issue that I had with our original jogging stroller. My poor babies were getting sunburned because it wasn't adjustable.The recline on each seat is separately adjustable. If one baby wants to nap, I can push her seat back further than the other. It is also an easy adjustment to make, and it can be done while the baby is still in the seat. There is a jogging safety strap that you can hold onto if you are using the stroller for that. I don't really jog, so I can't comment on how well it maneuvers while using it for that.Lastly, the stroller folds easily and is far more compact than expected. I could not fit our original jogging stroller in the back of my SUV without taking off the back wheels. This folds into a little rectangle and is easy to lift. I can also store it on my sunporch easily so that it is not hogging space in my car if I am not using it.Like I said, I was really on the fence about how much I would like this simply because of the price, but it was worth every single penny (and more!).
