Baby Trend Sit N Stand LX Stroller Review

When we added another child to our family, my oldest was 2 1/2 years old.  I had a single stroller by Graco that I loved, but I knew my oldest was still going to require a way to rest when we were out on adventures.  I originally purchased a traditional double stroller, but, as with most toddlers, my oldest decided she wanted the opportunity to get down and walk when the mood felt right.

I purchased my Baby Trend Sit N Stand LX stroller at Target for around $129.99.  When the new baby came home, we were able to use the included adaptor to hook the pumpkin seat over the front seat.  My oldest was pleased as punch to have the ability to sit, stand, or surf on the back half of the stroller.  As both have gotten older, they have enjoyed trading spaces with each one taking a turn sitting in the traditional seat and the other exploring on the back one. 

After about the second trip, the canopy that came with the stroller broke.  I'm sure this would have been covered by manufacturer warranty, but I know that can sometimes be a hassle, so I didn't even try to get it replaced.  The basket below appears roomy, but it is very difficult to stuff diaper bags and other things between the seats in the space provided.  I purchased some hooks for about $4 at Babies R Us that attach to the stroller handle and allow you to hang bags, purses, or whatever from them for extra carrying capacity.

As the kids have gotten older, the stroller seems to have a little more difficulty carrying all of the weight.  It doesn't physically buckle, but it is significantly harder to maneuver around corners than it was when they were both smaller.  Their combined weight now stands at about 55 lbs.

That being said, this stroller has been a lifesaver for us.  Everytime I am out and about with it parents stop me and ask if I like it.  I do like it very much and I always recommend it.  I think the newer models have easier access to the basket for storage of items, and that is the biggest downside I think this has.
