Size
The Baby Trend Expedition Jogger Stroller fits one child up to 50 pounds. It’s one of the smallest strollers and weighs only 23.6 pounds making it one of the lightest strollers compared to its competition. This makes it easier to maneuver, lift and store in smaller spaces. The rear wheels measure 16 inches wide and the front wheel measures 12 inches wide helping to provide a smooth ride. Some reviewers state these wheels are similar to bike tires an work well on different kinds of terrain. It also comes in a few different color styles so families can decide which color palette is right for them.
Ease of Use
The Baby Trend Expedition Jogging Stroller doesn’t have adjustable tracking, which is a feature that allows parents to adjust and accommodate for any dragging that may occur, so the stroller continues to travel in a straight line. However, testers have reported that this was a relatively unnecessary feature has it respectably stays on course. It does pull a little bit when running at higher speeds, but this can easily be corrected by tipping it back onto the course or turning the wheel. The stroller doesn’t have an adjustable handlebar which can contribute to the issue if it’s not set at the proper height for the runner. The stroller is extremely easy to push and turn with great response. Turns don’t have to be initiated ahead of time due to its narrower width and shorter wheelbase. It’s lightweight which adds to the ease of use. Back tipping and wheelies are easy if runners need to maneuver around curbs without any bouncing. Reviewers often state that it provides an ultra smooth ride, and transitions between two different terrains don’t wake their sleeping child.
Durability
The fabric feels a bit rough, but still quite durable. It’s made with a steel frame, includes some flex at the hinge point with plastic connectors at the folds. The parts fit well together, but isn’t as tight as joggers normally are. There are no shocks included in the build so that it may be a rougher ride than some others on the market. The wheels are metal-based and the tires are rubber with smooth tread. The wheels have room to move on the axles which can cause vibration making longer runs a bit tiresome. However, it’s important to note that the front wheel swivels which are great for navigating tight turn around events and parks. But it can also lock into place which is a must for marathon running when runners want to help stay in a straight line.
Price
It’s one of the lower-priced joggers compared to the competition. With a reliable construction and a smooth ride, this makes a great consideration for a neighborhood jogger.
Bottom Line
This is a great neighborhood jogger at a great price. It has great storage, a reclining seat in case the child wants to sleep or lay back and enjoy the scenery. The front wheel can swivel or be locked in place, depending on the location and what kind of maneuvering needs to happen. While it may not be perfect for long-distance running, it’s great for the family who wants to take a turn around a neighborhood or enjoy local festivities in town. Users state that it feels like an incredibly smooth ride which is a main concern for many shoppers. For families looking for a reliable stroller at a great price, consider the Baby Trend Expedition Jogger Stroller.
