It accepts Baby Trend's EZ-Loc Infant Car Seats to make a travel system.
The Baby Trend Expedition was rated highly by testers for its maneuverability, weight and folded size. However its bouncy ride might not be ideal for naps on long walks. It is not suspended and the hard seatback makes it less comfortable than a sling type seat.
As with the Navigator as well, the Expedition double comes with a large amount of storage space. Each seat has an enormous tray that also includes the cup holder. Both trays have a spot to connect a phone or MP3 player to enjoy on-the-go entertainment. Users loved the simple consoles, which are user-friendly and easy to use as well as the parent tray. The brakes however were less than desirable, as they require two pedals to release and engage.
With a swivel frontwheel that can be locked to allow cycling and all-terrain bicycle tires The Expedition is an affordable option for families with twins. Its jogging capabilities were decent, but its bumpy ride and lack of suspension were not suitable for long jogging. The brakes needed two foot presses to be activated, and its steering was unremarkable. The front wheel that swiveled was a major disadvantage, because it caused the Expedition to turn more slowly than strollers that have fixed front wheels.
