The Baby Trend Expedition Double is one of the lowest-priced double joggers on the market. At $200, it's nearly $300 less than other comparable models, like the top-rated Baby Jogger Performance Double and BOB Ironman Duallie (*MSRP $560). Earlier this year, Baby Trend decided to discontinue the Expedition Double stroller, though it still might be available. Reviewers say the Expedition Double is not as durable as the more expensive models, with some owners noting substantial wear-and-tear after one to two years of use. However, they do say that for the price, the stroller performs quite well. Some owners complain that the front wheel tends to shake, making it difficult to run with; it's a problem that is remedied when the front wheel is locked.
Most reviewers also appreciate the stroller's unusual accessories. The Expedition Double has a parent console, two cupholders and an MP3 player hookup and speakers. Seats are comfortable, and the large canopy provides substantial protection from the wind and sun. This stroller's main drawback is its size: At 32.5 inches wide, the stroller struggles to fit through most standard doors. The size also makes the stroller difficult to maneuver through tight spaces or around sharp corners. Parents looking for a budget-friendly outdoor stroller likely will be pleased, but those who need a more versatile stroller should look elsewhere.
Formal reviews of the Baby Trend Expedition Double are limited. About.com lists the stroller as one of their top double jogging strollers for twins, but the testing and ranking methods are unclear. User reviews of the stroller are plentiful, with Amazon.com and Viewpoints.com featuring several detailed consumer reviews. The majority of reviews are positive, focusing on the stroller's low price. Nearly every reviewer, however, notes that the stroller can be difficult to maneuver through average-sized doors.

Amazon.com features more than 50 user reviews. The Baby Trend Expedition Double earns an average rating of 4 out of 5 stars. Most of the reviews say the stroller is a great purchase for the price and has many of the benefits of similar but more expensive strollers. However, several reviews note defects, including missing screws and broken parts. A shaky front wheel, say some reviewers, makes this stroller unfit for running or jogging parents.
