Baby Trend Sit and Stand Stroller Gray Mist

User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Awesome Stroller!
I love this stroller! Purchased 3 months ago when my baby was 2 months & my toddler had just turned 2. Very functional and easy to use. Folds more compact than my single Evenflo stroller. Easy to fold, just make sure the front wheels are facing the right way first. (Pull the stroller backwards until the wheels flip to the front). Slightly heavier than my single stroller but not much. My 2 year old loves sitting in the back. She can reach the cup & snack tray and loves being able to talk to me. Currently using the bar attachment for an infant seat in the front. I’ve read complaints about the basket underneath, but there are snaps on the side that you undo to reach into the basket. I haven’t had any trouble with it at all. I’ve taken it on walks around the neighborhood, into horse arenas to give riding lessons, and into stores. Enjoy your purchase!
4 Stars Good, but. . .
We like this stroller and it serves its purpose, but it does have a few annoying quirks: the jumpseat cushion keeps sliding off, the standing safety belt broke the second time we used the stroller, and the front footrest and tray fall off every time we fold the stroller. Otherwise, it is smaller and lighter weight than our previous double stroller (non-sit and stand) and our daughter loves the freedom of coming and going from the jumpseat.
3 Stars Less than 1/2 the price of Joovy Caboose
I managed to get this on sale at Target a couple weeks ago for $99 and consider it well-worth the price. It’s really about the same weight as the Joovy Caboose Ultralight (compared them in-store side-by-side), about the same length, but less than half the price. It corners very well, considering its length. I would agree that the basket is difficult to access (can’t get into it from the side, either), and my toddler in the jump seat isn’t terribly careful about how she puts things in and out of the basket, but she tries!
The parent tray hasn’t fallen off, but the front footrest fell off the first time I folded it up for the car, haven’t tried putting it back on (the front is occupied by a carseat infant currently, so don’t need it) to see if it falls off consistently. The jump seat pad does keep sliding off/around the bottom of the seat. I wish the storage compartment on the parent tray were a little bigger (used to the two storage compartments on my old Graco stroller). The lock for holding the stroller closed is good, but you do have to make sure the wheels are turned the right way to get it to close enough. Finally, when I’m walking very fast/jogging, the wheels in front start wobbling quite a bit. I know, it’s not a jogging stroller, but I never had that problem with my old Graco (which I was using for the same StrollerFit class until I got the Baby Trend).
5 Stars great stroller … fits graco infant seat
I recently purchased the sit and stand stroller after lots and lots of research. I have a newborn and a three year old son. I did not want a double stroller because they are so large and my three year old is focused on being a big kid and will not stay in a stroller. We finally purchased the sit and stand after going to different stores and trying the comparable joovy and also debating on just purchasing a new single stroller.
The stroller was easy to put together and I was happy that my graco snug ride infant carrier snapped perfectly into the front seat. The stroller comes with the bracket for the infant seat. Unlike other brands you do not have to purchase it separately. If you have another brand carrier and you are not sure if it fits… the stroller has a secure belt that goes around your carrier to make it fit tight. Sort of like when you place your carrier on a shopping cart and it doesn’t snap perfectly you can use the strap to keep it in place.
The key to getting my three year old son to enjoy the stroller was that we presented it as his new big boy seat (we did not use the term stroller) its all about the way you present it. We showed him how he can hop on or hop off as he pleases and that he can sit on the seat or stand. He likes that he has choices.. and he is not being told what to do. To our surprise he stays in it more then he ever did with a stroller. I think because he doesn’t feel pressured to stay put.
The Pros- Fits my graco snug ride car seat, easy to fold, fits in my trunk nicely, my three year old picky son actually sits in it! its skinny and easy to manuvor, large basket to fit diaper bag, light weight, tall handle, wheels give it a smooth ride on rough pavement, glides over bumps and easy to push.
The down sides- it is long i feel like i am pushing a train at the mall. Its also impossible to reach the basket underneath when both children are in the stroller.
4 Stars Love it!
Bought this yesterday. My 2 year old son loves sitting on the platform seat. We don’t yet have another baby on the way, but plan on it soon. Up until now I used the Graco single, and just never loved using it. We live in a city and use a stroller a lot. The Graco is bulky, heavy and not all that attractive. I decided it was time to make a more practical change. I did my research e.g. compared price, reviews, product dimensions/description and always came back to this one, and finally just went out and bought. All in all we’re really happy with the purchase.
Pros… (compared to the Graco single)… Light weight, more narrow, collapses a little bit more when folded up, multiple functions are streamlined, good for a tall person, and handles well even in light snow.
Cons… Visor is essentially useless b/c it’s too short for my son when he’s in the front seat and completely in the way when he’s in the back, platform seatbelt should work both ways, cup holders are shallow (they work, but cups wobble around) and the foot rest pops off when folding up the stroller (totally annoying). I will probably end up taping my on. Note… this stroller isn’t suitable for someone who has two kids who need to nap in the stroller. This isn’t an issue for me.
I’m using it in an airport tomorrow to push my son around and carry some luggage. If you don’t hear back from me, it worked great!
