Baby TrendExpedition Jogger Travel System, Tropic

Now that our daughter is a month old, I feel confident in my ability to provide an honest review.After hours of scouring the internet for reviews and ratings on various travel systems and car seats, we decided to go with this Baby Trend system. I did my research thoroughly and found the safety ratings and simplicity of this system were exactly what I was looking for. This system comes with the infant car seat, one car seat base and the jogging stroller with bicycle tires.The car seat is like any standard infant seat; it has a chest clip and a hip clip, retractable carrying handle, retractable sun canopy and a washable cover. The entire seat secures onto a car seat base, which is hooked into any modern automobile using anchor clips and a seatbelt. If anchoring bars are not in your automobile, a seatbelt alone can be used to secure the base. The car seat can be used without the base by securing it with only a seatbelt and the handy leveling guide on the side of the seat ensures you have it at the safest angle. This has been a great feature since moving and installing the base from one vehicle to another for short trips is a bit impractical! We did purchase a second base here on Amazon so that my husband and I both have one in our vehicles, however our little one’s grandparents simply strap her seat into their vehicles using the seatbelt when she’s with them for a short time.The seat removes from the base (and from the stroller) by pushing down on a red lever on the bottom of the seat near the feet, making it easy for pretty much anyone to use.The stroller in this travel system is by far my favorite stroller I have ever pushed! It is simple to fold down and even easier to pop back up. The stroller has very sturdy tires and navigates well on uneven terrain, such as a gravel trail. It has two cup holders and a small compartment at the handle that I use to store small items like my mobile phone, keys and small wallet. The bottom of the stroller has space to put larger items, such as a diaper bag. The infant seat snaps on and off of the stroller with ease. It can also be pushed with one hand! It is a bit bulky, but fits fairly well in the trunk and back seat of my Nissan Altima.Our daughter doesn’t seem to mind being in this car seat. It sits at what appears to be a comfortable angle when in use in the car or on the stroller. We aren’t sure how long she will fit the car seat, however the stroller will be useable for years to come!For the price, this system cannot be beat!

So I went back and forth when trying to decide on a stroller set. Honestly... I don't do a lot of jogging (okay, like any) so I was conflicted on if I wanted to pay extra for a jogging stroller and car seat set as opposed to a regular set. I am so glad that I decided to get this! I've had it for almost a month now and it has really proven it's worth.The tires are all terrain, so I can drive it on grass, gravel, pavement, dirt. It's very versatile! The tires are similar to bicycle tires.It was also super easy to assemble, you just have to take it out of the box, snap the tires on and snap the snack/water bottle trays on.It has two trays, one in front of the child seat, and one in front of you. The tray in front of the child comes up, allowing for them to climb in and out of the seat easily. The tray in front of you has two cup holders and a small compartment that opens and closes to hold your phone, keys or whatever else you can fit!There is an adjuster in the back of the child seat in the stroller that allows you to move the seat forward and backward, so the child sitting in the seat can lay back more. My three year old loved that. Lol.It was surprisingly light and very easy to collapse, with two levers that you just hook onto with your fingers and push down, and it folds together, allowing you to store it easily in your trunk.The matching car seat was perfect and had a removable head support piece that I found really convenient. It snapped easily in and out of the stroller. It snaps onto the cup holders on the tray in front of the child seat. The car seat also had a "level" on the side of it that guides you with the perfect angle to set the car seat at depending on your child's weight.The base has a piece that you can adjust to change the angle of the car seat. Whether you want the seat to be forward more, or back to allow your child to lay back more. It was simple to install in our car, with two hooks that unhook from the back of the base to clip onto the anchors behind your back seat in your car. Super easy to install the base and super easy to snap and unsnap the carseat from the base.Overall, I was really satisfied with the travel system and the price couldn't be beat!

Having the carseat with the stroller was so handy while my baby was little as it is easy to put on the stroller. Now my toddler rides in the stroller well when we go places and this stroller handles well even in grass, or other non paved places.

So far it works pretty well and looks pretty snazzy. My wife and myself are pretty happy with our first higher priced baby purchase.Pros: The build quality seems to be pretty good. The tires are great and are easy to maneuver. It really does give it a nice ride. Assembly was extremely easy. Also, I like the design of this version compared to the older model. I like that everything is a uniform color instead of having red here and there for levers. The stroller folds up VERY easily. Just pull the two hooks on each side of the frame and push down slightly, gravity will do the rest.Con: Taking the stroller off of the base in the car and the stroller can be a little difficult. The lever takes more force than what we think it should need. A couple of times my wife had difficulty squeezing the lever enough to remove it from the base/stroller. It isn't a deal breaker, just something to prepare for. If you do not hear it click, you most likely need to squeeze harder. This is why it is getting 4 instead of 5 stars.I will try to update this to reflect our experience over time.

Todo muy bien, perfecto, 100% recomendable

Muy buena y recomendable. Todo bien con el empaque, lo único que es un poco raro es que no hay barra para el freno, son mecanismos independientes a cada una de las dos ruedas.

Es muy bonita y ligera, fue un regalo y están super contentos los papás

Muy fácil manejó y muy práctica
