Baby Trend Expedition Double Jogger Stroller, Griffin

I love this stroller!
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!).

This is my favorite stroller hands down
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!

It’s great overall.
This is a great stroller and I can’t deny that it’s a smooth ride for my kids. However, I’ve got a couple very small gripes. #1. It’s simply too wide for normal doorways. #2. Tires seem to deflate slowly over time. I’ve only had the stroller for about a month and it’s already losing air. Easily remedied, just a bit annoying. #3. The canopy is very small and ineffectual for ANY rain coverage- it barely keeps the sun out of my children’s eyes.#4. It’s started to rattle a little bit as it’s being pushed over uneven terrain. It could simply be down to a need for a tightening, and the tires needing a bit of air.Otherwise, it’s a wonderful and affordable double stroller. It’s easy to push, the kids fit in nicely, and the tires make it easy to push through wooded trails.

super comoda. muy util. super precio

Estaba escéptico con respecto si comprar o no esta carriola por el tamaño, tengo dos hijas (3 años y medio y 1 año y medio). Teníamos un viaje de vacaciones y por eso la compré. La mejor compra que he hecho, en definitiva la recomiendo mucho, no le piensen mucho. Hay comentarios que dicen que es un poco inestable, etc. La verdad es que no lo es, las llantas con buena presión de aire, funcionan a la perfección sobre todo si vas caminando por cualquier tipo de calle y no tienes el pendiente que se rompa etc.Lo único es que ciertamente es un poco grande por ser doble, y en autos pequeños (si usan uber por ejemplo) no entra tan fácilmente, hay que quitarle las ruedas traseras. Y en algunos elevadores como de departamentos o inclusive plazas, es un poco ancha y no cabe, por lo que tienes que buscar alguna ruta alterna. Pero es entendible, sin embargo no nos arrepentimos en lo absoluto.Para transporte en avión, no había como tal una bolsa de viaje que afirmara que la carriola entra. Sin embargo compré esta y entró sin problema, hay que quitar las llantas de atrás y después meterla de lado. Les dejo el link de Amazon.https://a.co/d/c34t90p
