  • Good value
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Large when folded
  • Minimal weather protection
  • Cumbersome to fold

The Baby Trend Expedition LX all-terrain stroller gets mixed marks in professional and user reviews. It excels in a recent independent test, where it posts higher overall scores than pricey strollers such as the BOB Revolution (*Est. $390) and phil&teds Sport (*Est. $450). However, the Baby Trend stroller gets lower ratings in user reviews. Those who like the stroller say it's roomy and easy to maneuver. Others say the Baby Trend Expedition LX is difficult to fold. The Baby Trend Expedition LX has a swiveling front wheel that locks in place for rough terrain. For maneuvering in store aisles, experts say strollers with a swiveling front wheel are easier to use. Parents on several different websites say this stroller has wobbly wheels and poor tracking, although one or two of them appear to have been attempting to jog without first locking the front wheel. Experts give better reviews to the budget Jeep Liberty Limited (*Est. $160).

The Baby Trend Expedition LX is discussed in the baby book, "Baby Bargains" and at ConsumerReports.org. Owner-written reviews at Buzzillions.com and Amazon.com complete the picture with some parent perspectives.
