Baby Trend Double Jogging Stroller

For over 25 years Baby Trend has been one of the most innovative and elegant brands on the market. Their one goal has always been to create the most reliable product built with safety and affordability in mind for all families. The following are some reviews with some tips on what to consider when purchasing one.

Baby Trend Expedition

Safety
For parents, nothing is more important than ensuring their children are safe and the Baby Trend Expedition double jogger is designed that in mind. The rear wheels are actually set wider apart than other brands in order to ensure maximum stability during regular use and during emergency stops at higher speeds. In addition, a wider wheel base makes it much harder to tip over when traveling on angled surfaces or over rough terrain. Also, the large 16 inch rear wheels and the 12 inch front wheel allow it to navigate much more easily over larger obstacles without the worry of tipping over. The five point harness is easy to adjust as well as being quite comfortable for the little passengers all while keeping them snugly and securely in their seats. As a final safety feature, a wrist strap is included to keep it from getting away from you just in case you should fall.

Comfort
For ultimate enjoyment and comfort the seats are adjustable to multiple positions so your children can either watch the scenery or nap quietly without a lot of fuss. This model has a ratcheting overhead canopy which provides varying levels of protection from sunlight and glare. Your children will love the generously padded seating and oversized footrest. You’ll also find its air filled tires contribute to an even more comfortable and stable ride for your infant.

Convenience
Perhaps the best feature of this Baby Trend is that it is designed to provide the right amount of space for your feet and legs especially for parents with long legs and an even longer gait. Go jogging all you want without the hassle of kicking the rear wheels of your new Expedition. Parents will appreciate the easy access peek-a-boo window provided on the canopy. The area that this model really shines in is with its loads of extra storage. With pockets for keys and cell phones, a parent console for snacks and water, and a large underseat basket for important items like diapers and feeding bottles this model has room to spare. Last but not least, a simple folding mechanism allows for fast and easy storage.

Performance
The Expedition's larger than usual 16 inch rear wheels require far less effort to push on longer runs especially considering you have two passengers instead of just one. In addition, the fixed front tire significantly increases its stability making it much easier to keep straight with a single hand when running. Combined with the comfortable handle this model is a dream when it comes to maneuverability on exercise trails. Although this jogger lacks any rear suspension it can still effectively and smoothly handle gravel, grass, broken sidewalks, snow and other common obstacles.

Drawbacks
The only concern is the width. At 33 inches wide, it cannot usually fit in the average-sized door. But seeing how this is a true double jogger, hopefully it will be stored in the garage until it needs to be used.

Baby Trend Skylar

The Baby Trend Skylar is a double jogging stroller that features a front tire that can swivel free or can be locked straight. This option provides far more flexibility in the uses for this model. A swivel wheel provides far more maneuverability and is best for urban environments whereas a fixed wheel is better suited for bumpy terrain and long distance running. Setting the front tire into either position is a snap with a simple metal lever that you lock into position with your thumb making this double jogger one of the most versatile around.

Other notable features of this model include quick-release tires and a simple folding mechanism for compact storage or travel, a padded five-point harness and a multi-position seat recline that offers just the right placement for baby as he or she sits up or naps. A ratcheting shade canopy contains speakers for an MP3 player hook up so your children can rock to your tunes while still being protected from the sun and wind making the Skylar a very hip little buggy.
