With Summer coming to an end, I wanted to give an honest review of one of our family’s favorite products. A few Christmases ago my parents gifted us with a Baby Trend Expedition Double Jogger Stroller- Centennial. At the time we had two kids ages two and under with Baby #3 due the following Spring. This gift has been wonderful for our growing family over the years! In this post, I want to share with you what we like and dislike about the Baby Trend Expedition Double Jogger Stroller- Centennial.
Plenty of Space
The Baby Trend Double Jogger Stroller is very spacious. As our kids and family grew, I wondered how well this stroller would hold up. Would we deal with fights over someone encroaching on another’s space? At what age would the kids be too big or heavy for a ride? Our kids have begun using this stroller as young as 6 months and currently our 5 years old can still sit in the stroller and lack of personal space have never been a problem. There are even times when we have a child in one seat and the diaper bag in the other. There has yet to be a space issue.
Lots of Storage
Nowadays when we head out for a Family Fun Day, we are carrying enough stuff for 5 kids, plus myself and husband. This might look like having a diaper bag on hand. Water bottles, hats, and shoes. Blankets or beloved stuffed animals. Sometimes even treasures we purchase or find while out and about. The Baby Trend Double Jogger Stroller has two large baskets underneath the seats as well as two pouches on the back of each seat. At times it can be a struggle to remove something from one of the baskets underneath if children are sitting in the stroller. Having them jump out of their seat real quick so we can retrieve something solves this problem.
Easy to Use
Collapsing the roughly 15-pound Baby Trend Double Jogger Stroller is very easy as well as setting it back up. Whether pregnant or not, I am able to easily collapse and set it up without the help of my husband. When collapsed, the stroller folds down for easy storage, however the wheels stick out a bit. Even though our 2014 Ford 12 Passenger Van doesn’t have the best truck space the stroller still fits with ease. Pushing the stroller when loaded down with kids and stuff is very easy. Even using it off road is a breeze and not a struggle like when using many strollers with the basic tires on them. I absolutely love the bike tires!
Dislikes with the Baby Trend Expedition Double Jogger Stroller
The only thing I would change about this stroller is the amount of cup holders it contains. There are only two that sit up by the handles alongside a small compartment perfect for keys, a phone, pack of gum, or ChapStick. With our large family having only two cupholders can become a problem. Other Baby Trend Strollers tend to have roughly four cupholders with two being on a tray in front of the child’s seat. With our first child we actually had a Baby Trend Single Jogger Stroller, and I loved that it had numerous cupholders. I wish Baby Trend would have come up with a creative way to add a few additional cup holders to this Double Jogger Stroller.
Overall, we have enjoyed using the Baby Trend Expedition Double Jogger Stroller- Centennial for almost 5 years now and hope to get many more years out of it.
