Baby Trend Expedition LX Jogging Stroller, Vanilla Bean
- Lightweight sturdy construction
- 16″ rear and 12″ front all terrain bicycle tires on light weight wheels
- Extra wide open wheel base offers exceptional stability
- Locking front swivel wheel for easier low speed strolling
- Quick release wheel system
I bought this stroller even after reading some of the bad reviews. The bad reviews are more than likely from people who can’t follow instructions. I put our stroller together following the instructions and we have nothing but good things to say about it!!! Great for wheeling on the grass or dirt but agile enough to cruise around the local supermarket or retail store. We most often have the front wheel in the swivel position and have never experienced the wobble others have mentioned. GREAT PRODUCT!!

For all those people that fault the stroller for shaking or the wheel falling off, you people need to assemble this stroller right and tighten the wheels! IF you use the stroller with a loose front wheel the bearings may break and cause permanent damage to those bearings! The wheel bearings allow for a SMOOTH ride and turns. So, DO NOT FAULT THE STROLLER, you are the problem!
Great stroller for a cheap price. Front wheel locks to a stationary position or it swivels. Great feature depending on what you are using this stroller for.
Stroller comes with a compact tire pump for free. Yes, the wheels inflate which makes the ride smoother, unlike the strollers with plastic wheels. Another great feature.

I bought this baby stroller and a few months after purchase, the wheels would vibrate and the whole stroller would wobble. There was an obvious problem with the rear wheels. I could not jog with the stroller let alone walk with it.
I contact the company by phone and email. I told them there was a problem with the rear wheels. They asked me to send them a video of the stroller when it was having a problem. After watching the video, they agreed there was a problem and sent me some, unrelated, replacement parts for the front wheel. I asked them why they would send me replacement parts for the front wheel when I specifically told them the problem was with the rear wheels. They refused to do anything further. I email them several times and they refused to respond.
Don’t buy this companies products, they have very poor customer service and are not very accommodating. Check the web, there are others that feel the same way about this companies customer service. They have a bad reputation.

After reading the positives and negatives of this stroller, and testing one in a store, I bought this just before my son was born. We live at the beach and there are also a lot of bike paths, so we walk with our dogs a lot! The stroller was on sale here at Amazon, arrived quickly, and has been great!! So easy to push and turn. In 16 weeks of use, the front wheel has only come loose once and was very easy to tighten back up. I’ve learned when to lock it and when to let it spin – if you leave it to spin on too rough a terrain it does loosen up – but if you lock it on the same terrain it’s no problem at all! I recommend this stroller and I am very satisfied with mine.

My daughter in law got this stroller for her babyshower gift. She loves the quality of this but, unfortunaly the front wheel popped off. While the baby was in it! Luckly she was buckleted in and okay. We had no idea why this happened. In order for this not to fall off we locked the front wheel. The only problem was that the wheel it self wouldn’t move. So, we had to make a few ajustments.
This product is very easy for transportantion but, I would be very cautious. If you didn’t buy this product yet I suggest not too for your childs safty.
