Features of the Baby Trend Expedition Jogger

As a busy mom you want to get some time to get your exercise in and with a jogging stroller you can do just that without having to hire a babysitter. The Expedition from Baby Trend is a great choice as it has front swivel wheels so that it can turn corners as you jog around your neighborhood.

It does a great job on wonky sidewalks and on roads with bumpy terrain. The wheels are big and air filled to offer stability and to give you a better ride.

When it comes to brakes you will find them on this stroller right at your feet. One push on the red levers will keep the stroller from rolling away. The brakes are very safe and will hold even in a downhill position.

There are two foot brakes so you can make note of that when you need to have the stroller stop. At high speeds the wheels still remain straight and continue to give a consistently stable ride to your baby and a comfortable run for you.

Not all stroller seats are created equal and this one really rises above the bar. You will love the seating system as it offers one of the best designs on the market.

The stroller comes equipped with a child’s tray so your baby can have something on hand to snack on or refresh themselves while you are running. This allows you to continue your fun without interruptions.

The tray also allows your child somewhere to place their hands if they are wide awake, sitting up and enjoying the sights and scenery of your run. The tray has a hinge that allows you to swing it open so your little one can get into and out of the seat.

The 5 point harness comes with easy buckles and allows you to position your baby in a number of reclining positions. This is great so they can be with you even while its nap time or awake time.

You can recline the seat easily by simply pulling on the straps that are designed for that. This ensures that the stroller is safe for your kids and easy to use by you.

The stroller comes equipped with a canopy that will provide your child with the utmost comfort and protection against the elements. The seat is not much bigger than a typical stroller seat so your toddler child should be comfortable in this while you run.

The stroller is compatible with Baby Trend Flex-Loc infant car seat but that’s about it when it comes down to compatibility of the stroller with car seats on the market. The stroller makes traveling with it very easy. It folds up nicely and can fit into your car’s trunk easily.

As comfortable as this is for your child it is comfortable for you too. The stroller features a comfortable handle bar that is angled up and also padded for your convenience.

This will ensure that you don’t get sore wrists from using this stroller. The under seat storage is quite capable to store whatever you need to carry along with you on your runs for you and your baby.

There is also a parent console that is easily accessible by the jogger where you can keep your water and keys or cellphone along with anything else you need to have close by.

When you are ready to pack up and go you will be happy to find the fold and go design of this stroller. You can easily fold it up and place it in the back of your car.

It is great for jogging but is also great for trips to the zoo and running errands of every sort. It is lightweight when folded up so that you can easily move it into your car’s trunk or into a storage area in your home.

The seat has to be fully reclined prior to folding up the stroller and that is the only thing that stands in the way of a speedy fold up.
