Baby Trend Expedition Jogger Travel System, Millennium White

Me me encantó Super recomendada, la verdad es muy práctica para manejar

Muy buena compra, materiales de primera, resistentes y bonito diseño. Muy recomendable, mi bebé con total comodidad.

I needed a stroller for a second home and so didn’t want to spend too much money on something that wouldn’t be used too often as we have another that works great already. However, after having this one shipped (arrived way ahead of schedule and in time for Christmas, unplanned!), I prefer this over the more expensive designer strollers I have and have had in the past. This stroller floats in front of you like it and its contents are made of air, and corners like its in rails! It has a locking feature for running so the super easy to turn front wheel doesn’t get unruly if you hit a bump in the road, very thoughtful. I took my daughter down, up, and around massive curbs with this thing and she was able to sleep through it, entirely undisturbed and peacefully enjoying the smooth ride. There are great hidden features that my more expensive strollers didn’t come with. I love the somewhat hidden hard case between the handlebars. Not sure how big it is but I decided I would be able to fit at leas 3 large pairs of sunglasses inside of it comfortably. It has 4 drink holders and a pretty decent sized under carriage for purses or groceries. The handlebars are grippy like tire tread very easy to hang on to plus it comes with an easiest stored hand strap complete with Velcro to hang while not in use, to make sure the carriage doesn’t get away from you during events such as runner wipe-outs (I guess). This stroller makes me want to get out there and go for a run even though I haven’t been a runner in years (pre-baby anyway!). So excited to continue using and very happy with my purchase and continued streak of being an amazing shopper with this buy. So much bang for my buck, so much bang period! $109 and would have spent $800+ had I known how awesome it would be.

I purchased this two weeks before my son was born in August of 2020, and we are at almost two years of use. I don’t often review products but I love this thing. So I came back to let you all know it.

The car seat:

The car seat is fine. It’s safe, it wasn’t super bulky, it was incredibly easy to install, and it made changing cars a breeze if you buy an extra base. While the seat is technically rated to 36 lbs, we found that our son was uncomfortable reclining so far back as he got older and more capable of moving his head. We could not safely change the angle of the seat to help with his discomfort, so we got a new one around 6 months that has those adjustment features but can grow with him to front facing as well. This car seat is specifically designed for newborns and as a set with the stroller, so it absolutely served it’s purpose. As far as using with the stroller, the seat settled very securely in the stroller and made my hours-long postpartum walks with my newborn absolute ease. He often fell asleep because of how smooth the ride was but the buckles, while safe, were never too obstructive that I had issues accessing him if he needed a feed or change while we were out. The sun cover on the car seat itself is a nice feature, but it is obviously made for tiny babies and does not hold up to the curious hands of older babies. It was, however incredible for giving my sleeping newborn shade on those early walks, especially in conjunction with the stroller’s sun cover. All in all, this was a solid newborn car seat but don’t expect it to last much longer than that.

The stroller:

I’m new to the stroller game, but I’ve done a bunch of research. It’s been almost two years of using this stroller at least once a week, but it’s probably more like two/three times a week. And this thing is the most “worth it” piece of equipment I’ve ever purchased for my child. It holds up to multi-hour walks, jogs, and awkward skips. It holds up to peaceful sleeping newborn and kicking, crying toddler. It holds up to spills and the unexpected pouring rain. My son is comfortable, he’s easily accessible, he’s strapped in such a way that it makes it hard for him to escape but easy to access, and he always has the biggest smile on his face when he sees it. The seat is adjustable, so when he was younger but too old for the newborn seat, it was easy to lay him back and let him sleep. Now that he’s almost two, he wants to see everything and can sit straight up. There’s storage underneath enough for the diaper bag, my purse, a ball, a mega bubble bottle, and whatever drinks and snacks I have. The jogging strap gives me security when I’ve got him out with me on runs (I had to purchase another one because I lost the first, but it’s virtually the same). The only complaint I have is with the mom compartment on top: it sometimes doesn’t fit my phone, drink, sippy cup, and mom snacks, making me have to stop to pull those out of the bottom compartment when I need them. A little bit more depth on that top and a bit more space in the cup holders would have gone a long way.

But the star of the stroller is the wheels. The WHEELS. I can tackle almost any terrain. Sidewalk? Of course. Grass? Sure. Dirt road? No problem. Gravel? Easy. Park mulch? Effortless. Uneaven roads? Fabulous. I take this thing trail running. I’ve taken it to historic districts with brick pavers instead of sidewalks with my child sleeping comfortably. I’ve walked on all sorts of terrain, hopped so many curbs. Never a problem. Steering is so effortless, even while running, but especially in venues with more limited space like our local park. I had to use my niece’s old stroller when I went to a Halloween event with my sister, and plastic wheels are not it. It was harder to push, harder to steer, it did terrible on sloped driveways and cracked sidewalks, it was a disaster in her newer suburb.

The rubber wheels not only make for a smoother ride, they’re patchable and refillable. We have a local bike shop near the park and they’ll literally take care of it for free. The wheels hold up great, though, we’ve only needed to ask the bike shop for air twice and we haven’t needed a patch yet.

If you’re on the fence, know this; a few months after my son was born, we took a cross-country move in hatchback. Despite our incredibly limited space, I refused to leave the stroller just out of fear that we wouldn’t be able to repurchase the same one at our destination.
