Baby Trend Sit N Stand Double, Carbon

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I purchased this stroller when I found out I was pregnant with twins. I wanted a tandem stroller that could hold 2 infant seats (not all do) and I didn't want to spend a ton of money.There are things I really like and things I don't like about it. Likes: 1)The color is very nice and neutral. I have b/g twins so it really works for us. 2) As mentioned above it holds 2 infant car seats. I have the matching Baby Trend seats. They snap in and out easily. 3) The parent cup holders and little storage bin is great. 4) I really like that both seats have a tray and I didn't have to purchase the second one separately. 5) It is easy to set up/open. Dislikes: 1) It is difficult to fold down all the way. It takes a lot of muscle to get it to fold completely so I can hook the strap that keeps it closed. It is also big and pretty heavy. If you were a petite person you would probably have a lot of trouble getting it in and out of the car. 2) The basket underneath is large but basically inaccessible due to the back seat footrest and sit and stand step. This really drives me crazy when I'm trying to shove my diaper bag in there. It mostly just rests on the step in back. 3) It steers fine if you are going straight on a smooth surface, however if you want to turn or go on a bumpy surface it is very difficult to maneuver. Often one of my twins becomes fussy when we're out at a store and I pick him/her up out of their infant seat to carry. This leaves me trying to push the stroller with one hand. It is VERY difficult to do. When walking around the neighborhood I have to be careful not to tip it when going up onto the sidewalk. Overall, it does the job I need it to do, but it's not great. I'm glad I didn't pay a ton of money for it.
