Baby Trend Sit N Stand LX

The Baby Trend Sit N Stand LX (*Est. $125) is among the most popular of the newly emerged sit-and-stand double stroller designs. The stroller features a front-facing traditional seat for younger children and a back area where an older child can stand or sit on a bench. The stroller also allows for a baby carrier. The unusual design lets older children walk or ride, depending on their mood -- a feature that many reviewers say makes this stroller a winner. At 27 pounds the stroller is lightweight compared to traditional double strollers. The design of the stroller is nearly identical to the Joovy Caboose, albeit 1 pound heavier, but it is less expensive. However, nearly every review of the Sit N Stand LX notes that the stroller is long and can be difficult to maneuver and turn. Reviewers also say that the stroller is very bulky when folded, with some noting that it can be difficult to travel with or store. The storage basket is very large, providing plenty of room for essentials but is difficult to access from the rear of the stroller. Reviewers also complain that the front seat only has one reclining position to maintain the space in the back of the stroller for the second rider. They also note that the stroller is less than ideal for an older child who may want to nap, because the bench does not allow for this. The stroller, reviewers say, is best fitted for families with children at least a couple years apart.

Formal reviews of the Baby Trend Sit N Stand LX are limited, and the stroller is featured in only one round-up of top strollers. There are, however, many owner reviews, with the most coming from Buzzillions.com. Reviews are mixed, with owners noting that toddlers tend to enjoy the freedom that the stroller offers, but saying that the size and somewhat poor quality bring the Sit N Stand LX down.
