Baby Trend - Expedition® Race Tec™ Plus Jogger

I would go with the Bob. We had a Baby Trend single jogging stroller that lasted us for 7 years with lots of use. It needed some basic maintenance here and there, but otherwise was totally fine. I got a Baby Jogger double jogging stroller (which I would say is pretty comparable to a Bob) second hand and was blown away with how much nicer everything was — the braking, the handling, all of it. It was a dream!

My Baby Trend Expedition is still going strong after 5 years and large enough to hold my now older kiddos too.

Another vote for baby trend expedition!

I ended up just getting the baby trend expedition and we actually love it! I had a friend who had the BOB and it was like a Cadillac but just didn’t DO anything much better than the baby trend

The babytrend expedition is the SUV of wagons….which is why I hate it. It’s absolutely enormous, like too big to bring into a grocery store, and it doesn’t fold. The sides collapse but the footprint remains the same. It’s a huge regret purchase for us (we live in the city in a small rowhouse and I don’t drive so it’s basically my car).

We always loved our Baby Trend jogging stroller. It’s certainly not one of the fanciest, or most expensive, but it was sturdy and lasted us years. We brought it to Disney multiple times. It was comfortable for both me and my husband to push, despite him being a foot taller than me.

So, this is my personal experience: Back in 2023, my wife and I took my oldest daughter to Disneyland, we used the Chico Bravo folding stroller which folds pretty compact and is good quality. It would be more storage than your smaller compact strollers but small enough that they fit through X Rays. We did Disneyland only, and just one day, and walked about 15-20 minutes from our hotel to the park gate area. Last February, we did a four day Disney World trip with a Babytrend Expedition double, with a 3 and 1 year old in the stroller. Obviously significantly more space since it’s a double, but the single version has significantly more space than my Chicco Bravo for 2 or my single Chicco bravo that we used on the Disneyland trip. The Chicco is easy enough to maneuver until you start loading it with stuff. If you plan on purchasing souvenirs it means you’ll need to carry more. It’s a bit harder store things. It’s very light but if your daughter is going to be in it a lot, then it’s not something I recommend. I hold this opinion with most compact, lightweight strollers. The Babytrend is a heavier stroller, and is a jogger type stroller. Mine is a double so it’s quite a bit larger but the single looks to be about 2/3 the size of the double, so I wouldn’t say it’s a compact stroller but it still folds up pretty small. The storage on the single looks to be significantly more, you could fit a reasonably full backpack under the seat. As long as you keep the weight down at the bottom, it maneuvers about the same full vs empty. You take up more space in public but not a significant amount more IMO. My recommendations: I’m assuming you’re doing a 3-5 park day trip, or park hopping with 2-4 days. I personally would recommend using the Babytrend Expedition single, which is priced at $140 at my Target according to google. It’s not a “compact” stroller but just about any compact stroller is going to be less enjoyable to push a child in for days at a time, especially if you don’t push a child in a stroller for a long time on a regular basis. If you absolutely HAVE to use a compact stroller, look for one with three wheels. Like the Graco Outpace ($220) at target or the Babytrend Tango 3 ($150) at Walmart. I recommend something with inflatable wheels, since it’s gonna be better at going up sidewalk curbs, multiple terrains, and be more comfortable pushing for long terms. I do not have any experience with park strollers so can’t offer insight there.

I got a baby trend jogger set off Amazon. I liked the bike tires instead of normal foam tires on the stroller. It makes for a smoother ride for baby, especially if you are in a more rural area.

We have three strollers: - a classic Graco upright stroller, which was a hand-me-down from a friend, and we use for walks around the neighborhood. We use this one daily. - A baby trend expedition that we got when she kept falling asleep, that she can lay down in it and rest. It's also come in handy for day trips, places that are paved, like the zoo. We use this one about once a week, since I will also put her in it while I'm doing work around the yard. - The Graco expedition stroller, or as I call it our ATV stroller. We go for weekly visits to a farm for our produce and we are frequent hikers, it has these giant durable wheels that can handle those situations. Unfortunately, it has a drop bottom so it's not good for her to nap in. We use this one weekly. We use all three pretty routinely so I feel good about our choices! I can't imagine being worried about wear and tear on a stroller... The point is for them to be used. We have 3 very different strollers for very different purposes.

We love ours too! Only negative is that it doesn't fit in my trunk (mazda3 sedan)
