Baby Trend Expedition ELX Travel System Stroller - Everglade

We registered for this system because we didn't want to end up with two different strollers (one for jogging and one for everyday use). But the performance fell below our expectations. The front wheel would start to shake when just walking if the ground was at all uneven (you can lock the front wheel for jogging, but you can't steer it in locked position). The back wheels started squeaking pretty quickly. We tried to have a friend balance the front wheel for us, but it was just poor design/craftsmanship. Not a good quality product. Would not recommend it. Plus, the infant seat did not have a very good snug fit and I didn't feel like my newborn was well supported in it. Her head often fell forward when we were in the car. We ended up exchanging it for a Graco infant seat and stroller with some nice safety and convenience features that cost us twice as much, but worth the money if it is a better and safer product.

Loved the whole idea behind the jogging stroller and carseat combo, just have not been happy with this one!!! Loved the colors and that's partly what sold me on it, but the stroller's front wheel shakes the whole thing when walking at an average pace on a smooth surface!! Exchanged it once, the second one is worse! will be returning and getting something different. Very disappointed.

My sister had a baby almost two years ago and this was the stroller that she purchased. With my first child I had a car seat stroller set with the four junky plastic wheels. I told myself I would NOT do that again! When I used my sisters stroller I was hooked and knew that if I had another baby I would purchase this one. That's exactly what I did. I love the stroller! The handle adjusts and allows you to push it comfortably. The first stroller I had I felt like I was always hunched over. The hook up for the mp3 player or your phone works great! Granted it's not an expensive sound system but it gets the job done. I love the car seat. The carrying handle is comfortable. I bought a car seat cover just for looks and it fits well. I think the only complaint on this set would be not enough color selections. And I would like it if the stroller compacted just a little more.

I put this on my registry after "test driving" it multiple times in-store and I was so happy to receive it at my shower! At first (in-store) it was difficult to open/close the stroller, and to disconnect the car seat from it, but after doing it a few times its become a piece of cake!
THE STROLLER- it glides around perfectly, and it's really easy to adjust the height for my much taller husband. There is plenty of space in the basket for diaper bags, purses, whatever you want. I haven't had any problems with the tires going flat, and the whole thing folds up nicely to fit in the back of my SUV.
THE CAR SEAT- Safely fit my baby when he was released from the hospital at 5lbs. The base holds it in securely and the 5-point harness holds the baby safely. The handle to pop the car seat off of the base is located in a slightly difficult spot -between the baby seat and the car seat- so it can squish your fingers trying to get it out. It gets easier over time, but would be nice if this were on the back of the baby seat. The seat seems comfortable, as my son always falls asleep within minutes of being buckled in.
OVERALL- I love this stroller and have had no problems besides the pinched fingers when removing the seat from the base. I look forward to using it for a long time! My son is only 2 months old, so I will update this review when he is older and uses the stroller without the car seat attached.

Bought this set for my firstborn son. Seems like it will last a long time. I love how the car seat clips onto the stroller tray and the triangular handle is awesome. It was a little hard to unfold coming out of the box. I thought I was gonna break it. But it finally popped open :) Won't know how well the buckles and stuff work until the baby gets here.

We have owned this stroller for two and a half years, and I absolutely love the stroller overall. After my friends and sister bought their Baby Trend Joggers, I noticed one MAJOR drawback. How hard this version is to fold up. The new ones simply have two buttons to pull up on the sides, which makes it ten times easier to fold up than this one. I still struggle getting it folded back up, but overall I can not complain about the stroller. Much better than a plastic wheeled companion. I didn't necesarily want the mp3 player (as I don't use it) but all other versions were sold out which is why we bought this one.

The carseat was amazing for the few short months we used it (son outgrew it at 6 months). My sister used it as well with their son, and after being through two kids, shows no wear. It has held up great -- to the point we just sold the seat with two bases for $60. Definitely a good resale value because of the quality they put in to it.

I like the car seat and stroller. They both work well, but the stroller is huge. It does not fit in my can truck. The truck is large, but the stroller is very big and bulky when folded down. I ended up buying a smaller stroller too just so I could fit it in my car. Luckily my husband has a pick up that can accomidate the size of the stroller. Other than transporting issues, the stroller / car seat are great. Consider something smaller if you are going to be hauling it around in your vehicle.

Arrived quickly, and I began to put it together only to find out the company messed up a part. Called customer service and they walked me through what I needed to do to fix it, and even said they'd send a new one if it broke while I was on the phone. (A metal frame was put in backwards). Works great. Front wheel doesn't shake, probably because I followed the directions unlike the other reviews. Very happy with this purchase

I am a first time mom, i tried this stroller out at babies r us and love it. Its super easy to put together, the big wheels make it so nice to go out in the snow and on gravel roads. One thing i wish is that the stroller would lay flat.
