Baby Trend Double Sit N Stand Stroller, Skylar
Best deal for the price!
After months of reading reviews and wading through all of our stroller options… we picked this one for its features, style, great price! We have a tall 2.5 year old boy (36 lbs) and a 1.5 year old girl (29 lbs). Our old stroller was a bus and didn’t have some of the features I wanted like cup holders for mom and dad! So we sold it at a yardsale and upgraded! This stroller steers like a dream with my toddlers totaling 65 lbs plus my purse/diaper bag. The pros: TWO parent cupholders that hold our water bottles great. Snack trays for BOTH seats (other strollers only have one), the easy swing away feature of the tray to get the kids in and out. This is much better than the “clip” on kind that had me dropping the tray and fumbling for it while trying to get my kid in the stroller! The material seems easy to clean, though we haven’t had any major spills yet. My 2.5 year old son LOVES the sit and stand feature. This is wonderful for trips to the zoo, etc. when he wants to sit some times and get up to look sometimes. The jumpseat/backseat is easy to remove after you’ve done it a time or two. I didn’t even have to read the directions to figure it out. When we’re in the store and he wants to use the bench instead of the full seat, it’s an easy transition and I store the seat in the basket below. There is plenty of room in the backseat for my 2.5 year old and his long legs. In the earlier model of this stroller people complained of their kids’ feet hanging into the basket below, but they raised the seat and the foot rest so this isn’t an issue so much anymore. The cons: The storage basket isn’t as large as other models, nor is it super accessible, but we were willing to compromise there. The canopies aren’t as protective as we’d prefer, but again, a small compromise. I wish the seat backs were a little taller for my kids’ heads when they’re sleeping. They’re tall and the seat back doesn’t come to the top of their head. The backseat doesn’t ever sit fully upright even when adjusted as much as I can. And they don’t recline a lot… enough for napping, but not total reclined comfort. Finally, it doesn’t fold as compactly as the earlier model of this stroller did, but that could be due to the raised backseat and the extra child tray.
