Babytrend City Scape Jogger Stroller Experience
Experience with Baby Trend Cityscape jogger: 'It's definitely cheap. I had baby trend with my first LO and I would never get it again. The carseats are really small.' Another user says 'I like my Baby Trend Expedition jogging stroller just fine. But I'm a "light" stroller user... The BT gets the job done.'

Baby Trend Car Seat
As a car seat technician, I HATE the Baby Trend car seat. It doesn't fit roughly half of all newborns correctly and can't be adjusted small enough to make the ride home from the hospital safe. It's a total pain in the ass to install in probably 3/4 of the cars I've put it in.

Baby Trend Travel Systems
Discussion on Baby Trend travel systems: 'I had it with DS and never had any problems with it... Their "jogger" front wheel shakes terribly if you try and go any faster then a speed walk' and 'I found their carseat wont fit my BOB adapter, and in researching more kinda seemed to be a theme.'
