Baby Trend - Expedition® Jogger Travel System with EZ Flex-Loc® 30 Infant Car Seat

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.

We got the Babytrend jogger and love it!

2.5 strollers, 3 car seats, 4.5 high chairs 🤦‍♀️ We mostly use the stroller (Mockingbird) and car seat (Evenflo 360 slim) that I bought first before he was born. I bought a cheapo travel system (babytrend brand) with an infant seat and jogging stroller (which I pretended I would use for exercising) it snaps into at 5 months when we first traveled by air. He outgrew the infant seat by 10 months so we got a cheap lightweight convertible car seat (Cosco Serena) and traveled with that and the Mockingbird over the summer. Then we moved to a house close to a lot of parks and my in laws came to visit for a few months, so we got a tricycle/stroller thing that’s lighter weight and the kid can use as he gets older. I’m also considering a cheap umbrella stroller for next time we travel now that he has good body control. High chairs happened because of needing them in multiple locations (one cheap Ikea one for in front of the TV, one travel collapsible) and one was bought at 3 months as a place to put the baby while we cooked so he wouldn’t feel abandoned. It lays back quite far, but then it wasn’t very good as an actual high chair. We use the Graco 95+% of the time. So yes, these things happen sometimes!

The Summer 3D quick close is amazing for shopping, travel, etc. it’s super easy to open and close with one button and the tray pops open for you to insert the baby. I also have the Baby Trend Expedition Jogger and it’s smooooth as heck. It’s what I use for hikes and neighborhood walks. I don’t believe in spending a ton of money on equipment because of the brand but I do look for quality and longevity. Both are around $120.

I have a babytrend jogger stroller/travel system and love it. Wasn’t even going for something like this initially but my bestie passed me hers. Highly recommend. Jogging stroller in general tho, big wheels handle sidewalks a lot easier. Eta: I believe mine is an older version of the babytrend expedition

FTM and we went with the baby trend stroller and car seat. It worked for us really well because the car seat could be moved to in and out, and then sit on the stroller. You could also buy multiple bases for ours, so that’s what our parents did for whenever we came to visit them.

Nothing Baby trend. It’s on the cheaper side in both quality and cost. It gets the job done but I REALLY wish I’d have gone with a different brand.
