Baby Trend Expedition® Race Tec™ Plus Jogger, Ultra

I put the time in doing research before buying and we decided on the Race Tec stroller. We couldn’t be happier with it. Even though it’s a jogger, we actually use it more as an everyday stroller — and it more than does the job, especially where I live since the sidewalks here are very uneven. It’s got a smooth ride because of the large, sturdy wheel. It can handle bumps, cracks, and rough spots in the pavement with ease. The baby seems very comfortable and happy in it, which is the most important thing! I also really appreciate that it can collapse fairly easily when it’s time to pack it up or store it. It’s not the smallest stroller once folded — it still takes up a good amount of space — but that’s to be expected for a jogger-style stroller with such solid construction. The folding mechanism itself is straightforward and not too heavy to lift into my trunk. Overall, the build quality is excellent, and it feels premium product without the same price tag as the ‘Bob’. You won’t be unhappy with this purchase!

We are not actually joggers, but we walk daily in areas with extra rough roads and sidewalks. This grade of jogger did just what we needed to give our little guy a smoother ride than he had in our other small-wheeled stroller, without breaking the bank. Its stability and ease of walking on varied terrain helps make it possible for one person to walk the big dog and push the baby solo whether we need to roll across a broken sidewalk, over some asphalt, or into the grass at the park. The features and construction are more bare bones than the big brands, but the stroller is functional for our needs. Example: It has manual foot locks, but no handle brakes to slow down while running. So if I were training for a marathon or planned to use the stroller for years through multiple babies, I’d invest in one of the fancier brands. Example 2: It also takes up lots of room in the vehicle and isn’t the easiest to fold up/down and load into the car. So I would not use it for a state-hopping travel stroller or if I lived in a tiny house and needed something compact. But for a reliably smoother ride and daily comfort for the little guy, this works great for us!

Rides very smooth I can run and my baby still sleeps. I love the support strap placement and the multi-adjustable handles!

Gorgeous quality for the price. Exceeded my expectations for ease of assembly, amazing features and storage, quality of the tires and the material. Shade covers so well and has that peekaboo top. Smooth over bumps and doesn’t get stuck. The stroller is somewhat lightweight but feels very sturdy.

Good quality and great value

I love this stroller! It is a smooth ride. We have run over goat -heads many times, and the tires went flat, so my husband filled them with something that kept that from happening. We no longer have that problem. Baby Trend Expedition® Race Tec™ Plus Jogger, Ultra now goes everywhere. This is very dependable and reliable. My son is four years old now and has owned it since he was born. Our family still uses it as we go on 4 mile walks where he can not keep up with us. We can't leave him behind. The older siblings love pushing this stroller as it goes fast. I really appreciate the bicycle wheels because we live on a gravel road. The gravel does not stop us or slow us down. When I go on a walk with another mom who has a stroller, I give her the sidewalk because mine works well off the road, which is one reason I bought it. We live next to trails and hiking areas and ho frequently. Regular stroller wheels would get us nowhere. There is a strap to connect to your wrist (mine broke 1-2 years ago) for safety, so while you are jogging, if you accidentally let go, you are still connected. There is a good-sized, convenient material storage holder under where the child sits. The tray opens from one side and lifts up. It has cup holders. Also, the parent has a little compartment and cup holder, too. The seat does fold down for sleeping. You can adjust the seat to whatever position you want. The umbrella top moves both to the back and all the way forward. There is even a window on the cover to check inside on your child.

Update: I was able to find one shortly after my previous update. It has held strong. My kid is on the tall side and almost 4. Still fits in it comfortably. Update. I won't be able to further review this product. I had to returned because they can't send the tire. You have to either return or exchange and it was going to take a month for the replacement. I think the problem was that the box ripped in the front during delivery but the product did look strong and beautiful. Unfortunately, my local stores don't sell it, so I might have to go for something different. Original - Beautiful stroller. - It really covers your baby from the sun. - Comfortable basket. - It came with a bad tire and what it looked to be a posible returned stroller, as some of the zip ties where open. - Assembly is extremely easy. All you do is unfold the stroller and click the tires on. - I wasn't able to use it but does look comfortable. - I don't know how it performs yet. - It came with a scratch at the bottom part. I tried contacting baby trend but their customer service is closed now (5/13/21) due to a holiday. If they can resolve this inconvenience, I will update with the performance. But honestly, even though I have not use it, I can tell is a sturdy stroller. I have another baby trend stroller for 2+ years and is still strong and looks new with no scratches on it, my baby just outgrown it. And even though this one came with a scratch I do not think it gets scratch easily as the way that it folds doesn't allow for that.

So far this stroller has been unboxed, assembled, tires re-inflated and wheeled around empty, to see how it feels. We are on our 6th and last baby and have used a Bob revolution since baby #2. We thought we were done having kids and gave our revolution away, so when we were faced with needing a stroller one more time, we knew we wanted a jogger, and looked into new and used Bob strollers. After many hours of research, we decided to give this stroller a try, instead. A big part of that decision was the price tag, for only one last baby, the Bob seemed extravagant. Additionally, while the Bob was cutting edge 15 years ago, they have not changed much while other stroller companies have been catching up! So far, we are pleased with this purchase! It rides smoothly, the seat adjustment is quick and easy, better than our last Bob. The wrist strap has Velcro so it can be pinned out of the way when not in use. Folding and unfolding are quick and easy, and while it doesn’t fold down like an umbrella stroller, it isn’t bigger than expected and the rear tires remove easily if needed. The storage basket is larger and more easily accessed than our Bob Revolution, which I love! For the Bob, we had to purchase a child snack tray and a car seat adaptor bar separately, at additional cost. This stroller comes with the child tray, and since I have purchased a Baby Trend car seat, it will fit on this stroller like they were made for each other. (Because, they were!) there is also a parent tray, with two roomy cup holders and a phone tray, another feature that had to be purchased separately for the Bob. Altogether, I am very pleased with the value of this purchase, and the quality compared to a 2015 Bob Revolution, which was the last model we owned. A final note, black and gray were both sold out when I ordered, so I went with the pink/gray, with some trepidation. The pink is actually more of a dusty rose than a bright pink, and the stroller is still mostly dark gray. I’m quite pleased with the color combination. I was concerned that the pink would be too flashy and bright, but it is a nice accent color.

Bought it at a discount, awesome! Pros: Big and sturdy. Stable . Smooth and easy to handle, front wheel lockable . Cons: Tires are rubber with air, struggled to get them pumped without a hand pump.. Takes up alot of space in Car boot Handle material not to my liking Bottom seat belt does not have protector, might be uncomfortable.

The stroller is as in pictures, designed in US and made in China. It is quiet, goes over obstacles easily, does not shake on brick pavements. It has built in holders for bottles for adult and baby and a universal phone holder for adult which is convenient. The hood can be folded, opened, moved more to the back or front depending on the sun angle. The locks for rear wheels work well, they are mechanical and quiet to lock and unlock. The wheels can be removed and attached in a single click. I haven't tried folding the stroller yet, but it arrived folded in the box and clicked to open in a single move, easily. Based on the photos, it can be folded with wheels on. Understand that it is a product for under USD 100 - so the material is the cheaper yet sturdy polyester (a bit hard/noisy type), the plastic used for bottle holders also not the fancy one, and the softeners on the straps are made from the same polyester so are slippery. I didn't mind because this is the only very affordable stroller with huge wheels I've seen, everything else is USD 1-2k. So I'm going to simply stitch my own strap cushions using a black towel. The colors look good and unisex, it is not a bright pink but a darker berry sorbet kind of pink. I tried jogging - instruction says to lock the front wheel and wear the wrist strap - it is indeed easy to jog with this stroller. Needless to say that my lil one was very happy with the overall smooth ride and especially the faster jogging speed. I hope it will help to get in shape finally. This is only a stroller, the car seat is sold separately (just FYI, the description is also clear this is only a stroller).

Excelente producto

La super recomiendo. No pesa, se compacta muy bien y lo. mejor es que es todo terreno. La compre con mi hija mayor y ahora nuevamente para mi segundo hijo. La recomiendo ampliamente. El espacio de abajo es muy amplio. Se puede reclinar para que quede totalmente acostado. Adicional trae porta vasos y porta celular.

Excelente carriola
