Baby Trend Expedition Travel System Stroller - Stride

"This has been an awesome investment! I got it in 2010 when my Son was born, at the time we were living in Savannah, GA. This handled great when we went Downtown walking on the coblestone and when we went walking in the woods. NOw (2012) We live in Germany where there is twice the amount of cobblestone. We now have our second child and we are using the SAME set. it has lasted this long and still look good! I have seen people complain about the size, well we have a Dodge Neon, and we can fit this AND an Inline Jogging stroller in the truck without setting the seats down, we simply remove the rear tires (which is nothing more than a push of a pin and its off!! I would recomend this 100%!!!"

"Have used it for 14 months and have loved every second! I don't get why people say the car seat is so heavy. EVERY car seat out there is going to be a bit bulky and heavy and I did not think there was any difference in this one compared to any other one on the market! I loved the handle, it made it much easier to carry than the others. I had no problem with the straps, I liked that it pieced together because I knew it would hold up. I also took my carseat to the fire house to get it installed and they thought it was a great seat- I don't know what that other customer was talking about.



The stroller is wonderful. While I do admit that it will shake a little when jogging without the wheel locked, when it is locked, I have no problems and I only lock it when I go jogging. I take this stroller to the mall, outside in the dirt, and on the beach and have found no where it can't go. It is also SUPER easy to push and turn. I took back other strollers because they needed two hands, this one is so easy. It also folds down really easily and the wheels come off for better storage, if necessary!



I love this one and recommend it to everyone out there!"

"I love the baby trend travel system. My son is 12 1/2 weeks & is almost ready to be moved up to the next notch on the car seat. Words of advice: baby is at a good age to pick him up and carry him where you go because he is heavier now. We find that nice because of spending time with him. Not unless, you just need the stroller.



If you want a good price and an overall good quality, this is nice to have. I knew the stroller would be heavy and I knew the stroller wouldn't fit in my back seat (sportrac '07) All you have to do is look at the measurements before purchasing this product.



The only thing I would say that is aggrivating: this stroller is under the "jogging" feild but I can't even get into high speeds of walking without the front tire shaking horribly. I am going to call and see what the manufacturer will do about this. If nothing, we will keep tightening the chrome lever on the front tire. No biggy. Just have to go fast walking or jogging without him. ;)"

"I have the stride model which is a step down from expedition but so far I have not had any problems other have. The car seat was easy to install with the latch system and is easy to get in out of the base. It does seem a little heavy but I have not compared it to others. I have not had any issues with moving the handle. The stroller rolls like it is on glass. Very very smooth ride on the street. I have not been jogging yet just have a 1 month old. I do use the kiddopotamus snuzzler thing to help keep her nice and snug and she always falls asleep when we go out and stroll or drive in the car. So far no issues at all to complain about."

"- The way i used this stroller? HA I havent even usded it and i have more than a month with it.

- The only thing i like about this stroller is the style

- But is too BIG it doesnt even fit in my car. the car seat is too dip in and i feel my baby is uncomfotable. I think im going to sell this stroller"

"This is our 3rd baby. We waited 8 years between the last one and this one. So many things had changed, we read the reviews and registered for this stroller. We got it and it looks great. Our baby was born 3 weeks ago. The car seat part is great, the handle is a little hard to get up and down. The stroller however is terrible. It's to big and I can never get it opened and closed. I actually had to put it in my SUV open the other day because I spent 30 minutes at the mall trying to get it closed. Also, the front wheel is very stiff and is hard to move around. I'm actually looking to buy a new stroller because I just can't use this one."

"My husband and I use this product every time we go anywhere. It is so easy to fold and unfold the stroller. We have to take the 2 back wheels off to fit the whole thing in the trunk of our Mercury Mystique. The infant carrier is great as well. Our son loves it. Sometimes the button on the right side of the handle is hard to move, but we put a little WD-40 and it works perfectly! This is the absolute best travel system I have ever seen and used!!"

"I got this system to use with our newborn. She's now 1, and I still love the jogger. While shopping for something else, I noticed how low the reviews for this system were, so I had to check it out. here's a few things I've learned about the system:

1. To jog, there is a red lever above the front tire that you have to flip so the stroller doesn't shake (crazily) while you run.

2. The installation manual says that you can use something like a cut down water noodle to help position and angle the infant seat. (I had to do that for my 2011 Kia Sorrento).

I contacted Baby Trend customer service and they were very helpful.

It's not the "perfect" system for everyone (the stroller is pretty big and kinda heavy), but things that people are giving 1 star reviews for are problems that customer service helped me solve."

"The car seat was a dream! My son LOVED it, seems like anytime I would put him in it, he would immediately fall asleep!



The stroller is also GREAT! For the people who say it is hard to open... really? Read the directions! It isn't hard at all, you just have to know what you are doing! I literally have people asking where I got his stroller everytime I take him out in it! It takes turns with ease, and is great for taking walks! I give the whole system 5 STARS!"

"I have not experienced any problems or regret and we've been using this for over 6 months. I wanted something that was gender neutral, something that my husband would use and not feel embarassed pushing, and would be tough enough for our active lifestyle. At first I was a little hessitent to purchase this after reading the reviews of how heavy the seat was and about how the front wheel would shake when you walked. Then I looked into the safety ratings and figured my baby was worth it.The triangle designed handle makes it easy to carry, switch grasps and is also wide enough to slip under your forearm comfortably for those long distance treks. Any carrier with a 15-20 lbs baby in it is going to be heavy! As for the front wheel on the stroller, it only shakes if you walk fast or run. There is a red lever that you lock into place (takes longer to bend over than it does to lock) that you use for fast walks or running to avoid that shaking. We have a lot of cracks and uneven sidewalks in our neighborhood and the four wheeled plastic strollers hit them and stop, with this stroller we jump right over them! It's great for "off-roading" too! This thing can turn on a dime and it "stands" when closed! The rear wheels can come off and the handle folds down to help make it more compact.I LOVE this system! I would suggest going to a store and push around all of the models that you are interested in. [...] Also, look at the car seat that comes with the system, some are different than the one that you can purchase seperatley. Include your significant other and caregivers, they have to use it too!"
