Side by Side Comparison of: Baby Trend

The stroller itself is fantastic, and I love the details that make this such an intuitive and excellent jogger. I had a minor problem with the storage cover on the runner's cupholder tray, in that once it was closed, it would not open unless you dismantled the cover completely (in the photo, the two divots on the top are caused by the defect jamming against the inside of the tray). Fortunately, I was able to get in contact with Amazon to get it resolved, so I give this stroller a 5/5 :)

Glides smoothly while walking; haven't tried jogging or running with it yet. Straps secure my "slightly smaller than average 9 month old (18#, @25")" nicely. Storage compartment is handy, but if I remember correctly, it doesn't fit my GalaxyS8+ phone. Front wheel lock easy to lock/unlock. Stroller comes mostly unassembled, but easy to put the pieces together, barely used the directions. So far so good here!

LOVE this stroller. So sturdy, tons of room in the under basket, and I love that most cups actually fit in the cup holder. Sounds silly to say but our past stroller did not fit many cups. Great value.

This is perfect. We purchased this for our grandson he is 1.5 years old and 28 pounds. In other strollers all the babies weight was all in the front of the stroller which made it difficult to push. This stroller sets the baby more towards the back which makes pushing him around easy and we don't have to worry about the stroller falling over and face planting him in the ground. He loves the ride, he loves the tray The under the seat storage is very roomy. You can push this with one hand with NO problems. We are very happy with the stroller.

I LOVE this jogging stroller, as does my 15 month old son. It is highly versatile, with a front swivel wheel, that can also be locked for rugged terrain. Storage is limited, although there are quite a few cupholders, an underbasket, and canopy. It's easily foldable, and travel-able. It was difficult locking the recline of the seat into place, but with the help of someone far more capable than myself, we got it. I know this is trivial, but I also love how the front harness snaps. It's easy and convenient, which are two things I need when dealing with my little ball of energy.

We loved this so much we have 2.

Purchased as a gift. Was told that it's extremely easy and quick to put together. The recipients love the headrest in the car seat and the smooth ride of the stroller. Would definitely purchase again for another gift.

Awesome jogger stroller. Very well packaged. Cannot believe the price, quality and the amount of items that it brought. For those who are wondering, it does include car base for carseat. Very sturdy and easy to set up. Can't wait to take my baby on a nice stroll around the park or a light jog!

What a great stroller! Easy to assemble! True one-handed fold up/fold out! Seat adjust easy. Car seat clicks in and out with simplicity! We know our daughter-in-law will love everything about it for our new granddaughter!

This whole combination is amazing, I love the colors it's very vibrant and still subtle , the handle on the car seat is very versatile and the seat belt is very interesting it's the 2 prongs that hook in across the chest then two prongs that come together and belt in below.. it's very sturdy. The stroller is worth the price I paid over all a fantastic buy!!

This seat saved my daughter's life. My wife, our 2-day old daughter (at the time) and I were involved in a car accident. My car received heavy rear end damage. I got by a motorcyclist and a very big truck. We were going about at speeds of 35 mph. The paramedics saw my daughter and told my wife and I that she was fine and there was no bruising and no irregular respiratory symptoms. The paramedics and firefighters even were at awe to see that the car seat had not received any damage. They gave us a "good job" thumbs up and told us everything will be fine (except my car).So I trust this seat and product from this company. At first I bought this because it was a little more around my budget and the positive reviews from other buyers made it more trusting to buy, but now I'm here typing this telling you that this is a sturdy seat from my point of view. Totally up to you if you guys want to buy it, but it saved my daughter's life.

I bought this to have for my first child. (Due November 2015) Shipped to me in one week. A simple glance over the instructions made it very easy to learn how to hook up for use and tear down to stow away. I was concerned buying a carseat online as I know they have expiration dates but thankfully mine has a manufacture date of June 2015 on the carseat therefore no worries, as it won't expire anytime soon. The straps in both the carseat and stroller are easy to clip together and feel securely in place. I bought this for $146, plus $10 for shipping, I looked in many many stores for combos which were all around $200 so I'm very happy with this online purchase.

Bought & shipped as a gift, arrived in a timely manner & the new parents have told me it's perfect for their baby, they've already been using for about a month. I was able to buy on sale & think it's a pretty good value.

This stroller is great value for money. It navigates the bumps on our sidewalks well and is much easier to push around the neighborhood than our old stroller with four small wheels. It sometimes feels a little cheap, but given the price and functionality it's a wonderful deal.

Really like this stroller. Works well strolling our Granddaughter in the yard or over the shell roads in our little sub-division. Seems to be a very smooth ride. The sun screen works well for us at the coast. Helps keep both sun and wind off. The handles with grips are ergonomically good for my wife and she likes the cup holders. The unit is a little "clunky" to fold up and latch together. Otherwise, this appears well built and is doing a great job for us.

After my Jeep stroller bit the big one in July, I seriously debated about whether or not I wanted to get another one. After all, my son was walking on his own and probably needed to get as much exercise as possible, so I thought that continuing to use a stroller would just impede his steady progress towards independence.That was very flawed logic. After about a month or so of walking with him on a leash and harness, I realized something. If a child can disrobe at a moment’s notice, with or without being told to do so, and can get himself onto the kitchen counters from two different vantage points, and can also open doors on his own and demolish an entire home in less than an hour, then it is time to take away some independence from the child and convert it into some semblance of mental health for the mother. And a great place to start is with regular walks around the neighborhood. In a stroller.So I started researching strollers again. I didn’t want to go for any cheap strollers like I did before, but I also needed the stroller to be between about $75 and $125. So the hunt began. At first, I disregarded any and all jogging strollers. My logic was this: I do not jog, therefore I do not need a jogging stroller.Once again, my logic was very flawed. On a whim, I took a look at some joggers, eventually coming to this one. And so I decided that the price was right and so I could take a chance on this stroller.and I’m really glad I did!Pros:*easy to push. It is literally like pushing air around.*Nice size basket under the child’s seat. I can fit my purse and my son’s backpack under there with a little extra room to spare just in case.*Hinging child’s tray. So, when we go out for a walk, I move the tray away from the seat, beckon my son to sit down, buckle him in, put the tray back in place, and go*Great parent’s tray. I especially love the little compartment with the lid on it. My Jeep stroller didn’t have the door, so basically anything and everything fell out if you forgot you had put it there.*Canopy moves as close to 180 degrees as you could imagine. So, if the sun is in my son’s eyes when we’re walking, I can put the canopy down over his face. Of course, this leave the top of his head exposed, but that’s OK for now. I’ll probably get a net of some kind later on if this becomes too much of an issue.*Easy to assemble right out of the box. This was the easiest assembly of a new stroller I ever experienced. It was done in about 10 minutes and I did not even swear one time. Take that, Jeep Sport Stroller!Things needing improvement:*The bar on the right side of the stroller was not properly secured in place as it should have been. I have figured out how to work around this for the time being, and I’m pretty sure I know how to fix it, but this is the main reason I am only giving it 4 instead of 5 stars. Baby Trend really should have been more careful during factory assembly.*I would really enjoy this stroller so much more if it had a way to fold it with one hand. Again, this is something I can work around and am doing so, but it would be really nice to be able to keep a hand on my son while I’m unfolding and folding up this stroller when we’re out and about.*One foot brake lock. This is a complaint I have about pretty much all strollers. I used to have a used Graco that I got at Goodwill that had a pedal on the back wheels that allowed you to lock both wheels simultaneously. That is really convenient for single moms on the go such as myself, especially since locking the back wheels is kinda the first step in folding up this stroller.Overall, I am really really REALLY happy with this stroller. My son loves it, and we are back to taking regular walks around the neighborhood, for the purposes of helping Mama feel good and lose weight, get the dog his exercise, and to have daily adventures in the world.

I have the baby trend elx as well, i needed a decent jogger while im out of state for a couple of months, but didnt want to spend another couple hundred on another jogger. It really is a great deal, the front wheel wobbles if you don't lock it on a run. There is no padding on the side for a child head, it's literally a thin lining against hard metal poles so we had to fasten a thick pillow sham around the poles so her head wasn't banging against metal on a walk/run. Tons of storage space on the bottom. Folds up very easy. I like how the capony above her head actually can be moved depending on where the sun is. My nicer one doesn't even have that feature, and that's so important. Great stroller for the price but you'll need to rig some cushions for baby's head because it's so ridiculously uncomfortable.

Love this stroller! Purchased this about two mths ago. It is easy to fold up for storage and lightweight. I can easily push this stroller with one hand and it still rolls smoothly. I am 5ft1in and the height is perfect for me. Im sure it would be okay with someone taller as well. My son is currently 4 months but i feel the stroller is sturdy and would last us quite a long time. He is a pretty big 4 mth old but i am still using an infant carrier to put him in. The straps and buckles are a good system but would be better for an older baby who can sit up on their own.I own an 02 rav4 and it does take up most of the trunk space in my car. But overall i think this was a great purchase and you would regret it. Have had no issues with it. All i did was took it out of the box, put the front wheel on and pumped air in the tires as they are bicycle type tires.

These are cute and work well. The only thing I didn't like is how the car seat fits in the stroller, it's too far sitting/tilting up. Can't really adjust how it sits in it.

I bought this for my grandson. It is very safe sturdy. It looks great and rolls with ease. It's a beautiful set easy to put together. It's kinda hard to adjust the straps on the carseat tho which is minor. Overall it's a great combo kit and very good price. Amazon does it again!

Good stroller + car seat combo system. Great choice for those on a budget. Friends who got fancier/more expensive car seats complain about their babies getting heat rashes from all the padding. This option is padded enough to be safe but is definitely not a luxurious cocoon. I don't regret buying it, but my one complaint is that I wish the stroller were easier to push and navigate. When I change direction, it sometimes requires an extra application of force but careful steering so that the stroller doesn't tip over. This is annoying. The car seat feels fine, but the stroller does feel cheap -- it needs to be handled steadily when lifting, otherwise stress bend marks will appear.

Stylish and great quality. East to assemble and clean; all fabric components can be taken off and thrown in the washer. the adjustable straps in the car seat is a bit stiff so there's some tugging at time but all in all I love my stroller. 4 months in and its still in great condition and my sons till fits safely in the care seat.

Only complaint is the buttons to move the handle up and down are hard to push in and it's annoying when trying to push handle down to put baby in but overall it's a good baby seat/stroller combo and perfect for regular use. Price is great so that's a minor inconvenience for price. Also cup holder and compartment are very small. Doesn't fit my smart phone which is disappointing.

We've used Baby Jogger / City Mini before and this doesn't have the same sturdy feel to it. However, using it for 4 months, baby in and our of the car, it does the job well and at a good price.

About 10 years ago I bought the older model of this stroller at target. It worked like a dream and I used it with two kids. Not just here and there, I jogged with it a lot! I finally needed an upgrade because the old one had seen its better day so I figured this one would be just as good. It had great reviews and a great price.The new one is cheap. You can tell they’ve cut corners, it wobbles when it shouldn’t and the overall functionality is disappointing.

The stroller itself is great! I love the space it has for my two year old. I love how it feels when I'm walking with her. Very easy to put together as well. The one thing I was very unhappy about was to see scuff marks on certain areas of the stroller which was surprising to see.

Stroller is great - Looks nice, smooth, light ride, love the sun shade. But the rear TIRES ARE TERRRIBLE! After 4 months of use have already had to replace tubes and actual tires ($65 total). Still way cheaper than buying a premium stroller brand, but each time the tires go out, the stroller, and our running with baby is out of commission because we are waiting for tire replacement parts.

For the price it's pretty okay. They sent us one that had been returned, someone attempted to assemble and broke off a piece of the back tires so we had to request new but customer service was good. The back of the seat broke when trying to adjust, so now there's a crack and it's not incredible comfy looking for my toddler. The tires also went flat fairly quick, but you get what ya pay for

I bought this stroller for jogging and not completely satisfied. It starts shaking during running, so I have to stop all the time. Also it is kind of heavy to put it into the car.

I purchased this since we only had an umbrella stroller and it does not do so well when we are out on walks. The product itself was very easy to put together. I came mostly assembled so we just had to put the 2 back wheels and then front latch and the umbrella on. Super easy! Then we got to inflating the tires. I read many reviews about the tires not keeping the air and needs to be refilled frequently. I still wanted to try it since it was a great price for a jogging stroller. I should've listened though. One of the back tires would just not fill up properly even though we used a bike pump like the user manual recommends. I called the Baby Trend customer service and they were very nice and sent me a new inner tube for the tire. When I received it, I filled it but once I took it out, the air came out pretty quickly so I decided to return it and bought another brand. It's too bad because it was a great price!

Overall good product... Original picture of product was Not high wheel

I don't particularly like the seating adjustment on the stroller. It is somewhat difficult to adjust when the baby falls asleep without waking him up. Other than that it's a nice stroller.

This is not great product .But value for money.Mine game up with rear end damaged but i managed to fix it.And the installation document needs to be revised its very difficult to setup.Once i unfolded the stroller. Iam unable to lock it back i tried what they mention in the guide.It was folding but not locking.

Good deal for the money. The stoller could use some refinement when it come to ease of turning. Turning can be clumsy and akward.

Car seat is cheap and doesn't fit my newborn properly.

Its heavy and not easy to unfold it!

After extensive research I went with this one. It was massive! For my petite frame I had major trouble getting in my SUV. It also took up way too much space! The wheels are huge and there is nothing simple about opening and closing this.

Height from seat to foot rest is too small for toddlers. My daughter's knees were in her face when she sat on this.

The front wheel on the stroller completely locks and the wheel won't spin at all once a week - seemingly always on the weekend when I want to go for a run with one of our toddlers. When that doesn't happen the stroller is great, but given this is supposed to be a jogging stroller and I often can't job with it because of a design flaw it is definitely sub-par. We previously had a Joovy Zoom stroller about twice the price that never had this issue but eventually wore out after 4 years.

Great stroller for cost, but the tires are always deflating. I've replaced the tube twice and had a bike shop look at it. Dont understand why it keeps going flat. I always carry a pump when I use the stroller.

UPDATED REVIEW: I am SO SO sad because I really mostly love this stroller. However, the only negative, and it's a pretty big one, is that the device in the back to raise/lower the seat is poorly designed and after just 3 months of use, the buttons got stuck and will no longer raise or lower the seat. Thank goodness that it got stuck in an upright position so it's still useable - but very frustrating that it broke so soon and I can no longer recline my daughter when she falls asleep in it.FIRST REVIEW: AMAZING stroller! Glides so smooth, folds down easy and fairly small for being a bigger stroller, comfortable for baby, nice snack tray/cup holder/closed compartment. There is ZERO need to buy anything more expensive or "better" than this! This is a very attractive, very well made, amazing amazing stroller! I have no idea how I had 2 children before this stroller!! gah! So wish I had gotten it for my first!

Didn't even have it a year and the front wheel started to wobble. Very annoying.

I started using this 2 months ago after my mom got it for my son and hate the carseat! It is only spring here (around 60 F) and after 10 minutes of sitting in this, his back and back of his head is completely soaked with sweat. Thankfully we have another carseat because he screams everytime we put him in this one. Not worth it especially of your going to try to use it on vacation. He is also 23 inches and 13 pounds and it is a real snug fit for him.

It's easy to put together. It comes with two good things for the for an OK price. But it's really wobbly, it's not very strong build.

Car seat broke as soon as it passed the 180 day warranty period. Now will need to get another infant seat which child will soon grow out of.

Put stroller together and noticed the paint variation in the front tray. Very noticable.

I wish I paid the extra money for a better stroller. It's easy to put together but that's all I've found for pros ( other than price). It's hard to maneuver and it's pretty heavy in my opinion. The latch to unclick the car seat from the base/stroller has jammed up a number of times and the button to fold the stroller gets stuck and doesn't push at all sometimes. Once the button does get pushed I have to jiggle the stroller to get it to fold and the bottom basket ends up bruising my shins. It's such a struggle and I hate looking like a mom who's having a tough time. Unfortunately I have to stick with this unit because we don't have hundreds of dollars to spend on a better stroller.

The stroller is a pain to fold up, and after three uses the stroller will not fold at all, the lock for the folding won't unlock so it's stuck in the open position. The car seat however, is nice and works well, but it's not the lightest. Stroller does not push well, you get what you pay for here.

Cheap. No shocks. Not for jogging. Returned it.

Worked fine for 3 months then the front wheel locked. Do not buy this stroller

I loved this stroller for the first few months especially for the price I paid. Then just after the return window closed the back wheel started bouncing violently during runs. I guess you get what you pay for.

Have had this less then 2 months and the wheel on front is locked up and not functional.

My Babytrend jogging stroller front wheel swivel axle snapped off while is use. This catastrophic failure of the axle that holds the front wheel assembly to the jogger caused the entire unit to fall forward in a rapid violent decent and crash the unit nose first to the concrete. I have pictures of the unit. The defect is the too small diameter swivel axle for the load and frequency causing metal fatigue, metal yield and rapid failure. The unit was not hardly ever used. Be very careful with your little loved ones in these jogging strollers. There is no type of warning before failure occurs.

Seems decent enough except all three wheels seem to be very "cheap" metal, and all three are bent to an extent. Not a big deal at the slow speeds this would be rolling at - even while jogging... except one of the rear tires pops off of the rim the second I put any air at all in it.After even 5PSI (supposed to hold 20-25PSI) part of the tire pops off and the inner tube is exposed - almost as if the tire itself is defective... or too large for the wheel.I contacted their support via the Baby Trend website asking for a replacement wheel/tire and haven't heard back yet. Wife is bummed out that she can't use this just yet :(

Seat belt is super super tight! Can not adjust the belt, its not safe for my little one, she cries when I buckle her, bc it hurts her!

I had ordered this as gift for a friend. The front wheel stopped working within 1 month. And now there is no return policy because it's more than 90 days since we purchased it.

Absolutely NO padding just this scratchy plastic junk. I wouldn't trust this set with my daughters dolls let alone a human baby!!

Edit after 8 months: Absolutely junk. Initially it was easy to turn, now to turn it you literally have to do a crunch. The coffee holder complaint below never got resolved. DO NOT BUY.Its just ok. You get what you pay. In addition to the low quality feel, when my item arrived, the box looked undamaged from outside. Most of the individual items inside were undamaged. But the snap on pins for attaching the wheels were pushed too far into the tubes. Took me an hour of fiddling about to get those relocated correctly. After installation the feel of the product isnt too solid (for the lack of a better word) (or maybe I am biased due to my out of the box experience). Also, after collapsing, the pram does not stay locked in fully collapsed position, it is all floppy. Its collapsed condition is locked by a really poorly designed lock bracket which lets it move about 5-10 cm.On top of all this, the parent cup holder that is supposed to latch onto the handle was the wrong size and obviously would not even come close to being latched in.Seems to me that some one else rejected this item and was sent to me without being inspected.

Not strong and sturdy. Seat sets too high, not loww enough. So baby head leaning forward when car seat is attached to both stroller and base

low material quality, uncomfortable for baby, use it for 1 month and got rid of it!
