One thing that I really appreciate is that it has high safety ratings, which makes me feel better about my children’s safety.
As this is a travel set, it also comes with compatible car seat. Children who weigh up to 30 pounds and 30 inches tall can use this car seat. The car seat easily snaps onto the stroller, which is a huge convenience factor that many parents have enjoyed.
Features of Baby Trend Expedition Jogger Travel System, Phantom
One of the best features of the Baby Trend Expedition Jogger Travel System, Phantom is the canopy. This is wonderful from protecting baby against the sun, wind, and more. My friend really appreciated this feature last week when she was out jogging, and out of nowhere it started to sprinkle. Her baby could stay dry as she quickly hurried home.
A feature that I would personally love is the two cup holders located by the handlebars. This is perfect for a water bottle if you are exercising or for an iced coffee! Alternatively, you can place your car keys in this holder, your baby’s Binky or bottle, a burp rag, small snacks, and more. And while we are on the subject of handlebars, these are covered with a foam that is comfortable. The handlebars are extra wide, which helps maneuver the stroller easier. There is a storage compartment underneath, which works well for a diaper bag, a change of clothes, small toys, a purse or wallet, a picnic lunch, and more. If you are using the stroller when shopping, you can easily place all your shopping bags in this
compartment for safe keeping.
This stroller is made with large wheels, which is perfect for moms and dads who jog fast. The back two wheels measure 16 inches while the single front wheel is 12 inches. The leading tire swivels when needed, or it can be locked into place when running. The three wheels offer quite a bit of stability, and allow it to be smoothly used on most terrains.
Other features of this stroller are that it comes in four other colors besides Phantom, such as Bubble Gum. This is perfect for those moms that like to walk or jog with their friends who have children as well. It makes it a very easy way to tell each family’s stroller apart! It is also very compact and super simple to fold up. Just push the trigger release to fold up into a smaller size perfect for stowing away in the trunk of your car.
Pros of Baby Trend Expedition Jogger Travel System, Phantom
One of the biggest concerns I have when out and about with my babies is sun protection. With the Baby Trend Expedition Jogger Travel System, you do not have to worry about the sun harming your baby. This is because the canopy on the car seat meets up perfectly with the one on the stroller, so there is complete sun protection. The top canopy does have a peek a boo window, which is great for viewing baby while on the move.
A safety feature that I like is the 5 point harness. This will ensure that your child is safe and secure during a car ride as well as a stroller outing. I appreciate the fact that the car seat latches safely to the stroller. This is a huge deal for parents who may have to drive to their jogging location. If your baby is sleeping, it only takes mere seconds to latch the car seat into the stroller before you are on your way
running!
The seat also reclines, which is very important to me and many moms. This will ensure that your tiny tot is comfy whether they are asleep or awake. As soon as baby starts to doze, the seat can be eased back, keeping the child comfortable without waking him or her up.
Cons of Baby Trend Expedition Jogger Travel System, Phantom
Some have noticed that the tires on the Baby Trend Expedition Jogger Travel System often go flat. Other times they will leak air. The tires can easily be filled up with an air compressor, but unfortunately these may not be available while one is at the strip mall or out on a jog.
This stroller is not the easiest to lift off the base. The lever can be difficult to press, which releases the car seat from the base. Another con that some do not like is that tray in front of the child cannot be completely lifted off. It can be partially moved up to migrate it out of the way.
Summary
I hope you have enjoyed reading about the Baby Trend Expedition Jogger Travel System, Phantom with all of its wonderful features. This jogging stroller is perfect for anyone who loves to exercise but does not want to give up time spent with their child. Most important, it keeps your child safe and comfortable while you are out in nature together. This stroller is very easy to use and extremely durable. It will last over many years to come!
