Author's Review
In 2005, I found out I was pregnant and I had a 3 year old. I started researching double strollers right away. After several trips to different shops, I realized that my son would be just too darn big for a regular double stroller. In stores, the only thing close to the Baby Trend Sit-n-Stand was this funky red thing that I wanted no part of. LOL! That's when I went online and saw this Sit-n-Stand. I ordered it at strollerdepot.com with free shipping and it was $159. At the time, the black was a brand new color and hard to find - people everywhere would stop me and ask me where I got the stroller. I have to admit, I started to use the stroller for my son 4 months before the baby was born. It's just that great! The backward facing seat with foot-rest in the back of the stroller is completely safe, it has a built in seat belt as well as a sefty strap across the frame of the stroller so kids don't fall off when riding. I love the fact that my son can walk, but then when he gets tired, just hop onto the platform for a rest. The pad that he sits on back there comes off easily for washing. The stroller comes with an attachment in the front so you can put your infant seat right onto the stroller. It's very sturdy. I have to say that the stroller has a "limo" like feel when you add the infant seat on it. But it's still very easy to steer. More about the front seat...when your infant graduates to the seat in the front, there is a nice 5 point harness and a great tray for play or snacking. There are a couple of issues here though. It only reclines one notch, making a nap difficult, but if it reclined further, it would go into bigger sibling territory. The seat back is not very high, so a taller / older child may not have any head support if they want to put their head back for a rest. This was never really an issue for me because my kids aren't big stroller sleepers. I thought for trips to Disneyland this would be an issue, but never has been. One last issue I have with the stroller is that it didn't come with a parent tray when I bought it. I had to buy an attachment. The basket underneath has always been big enough for me. Other than that, the mechanics are great, it folds much flatter than a regular double stroller and isn't as heavy. I would recommend this stroller.
