Durability
Durability
The fabric feels a bit rough, but still quite durable. It's made with a steel frame, includes some flex at the hinge point with plastic connectors at the folds. The parts fit well together, but isn't as tight as joggers normally are. There are no shocks included in the build so that it may be a rougher ride than some others on the market.
The wheels are metal-based and the tires are rubber with smooth tread. The wheels have room to move on the axles which can cause vibration making longer runs a bit tiresome. However, it's important to note that the front wheel swivels which are great for navigating tight turn around events and parks. But it can also lock into place which is a must for marathon running when runners want to help stay in a straight line.

The Baby Trend Jogger Stroller fits one child up to 50 pounds. It's one of the smallest strollers and weighs only 23.6 pounds making it one of the lightest strollers compared to its competition. This makes it easier to maneuver, lift and store in smaller spaces. The rear wheels measure 16 inches wide and the front wheel measures 12 inches wide helping to provide a smooth ride. Some reviewers state these wheels are similar to bike tires work well on different kinds of terrain. It also comes in a few different color styles so families can decide which color palette is right for them.
Features
Features
The Baby Trend Jogger Stroller is a two-handed fold design with a manual fold lock. When not in use, it easily folds down to quite a small size. The front wheel easily removes for even more compact storage, but this is generally unnecessary. It comes with two-foot locks, one on either side of the base, for safety.
It has a five-point safety harness system to make sure the child stays safe. The jogger has storage under the seat which is large enough for an extra-large diaper bag, a change of clothes, snacks, water or other items. However, it can only have a maximum of five pounds. The upper part of the stroller has two cup holders and a seal-able storage compartment for cell phones, keys, and other small items.
There is also a passenger tray for the kids, but reviewers state it does not hold sippy cups with a wide base. However, the tray does swing upwards for easy access. The canopy has a small, mesh window in the rear. It's a bit on the smaller side and only covers the head for mild protection. It does come with a pop-out visor for additional coverage, plus the canopy can rotate forward for further adjustment. The seat can recline for comfort or naps. When reclined, the seat back has ventilation and can be covered in cold weather. The seat back may feel hard and less comfortable than a sling-style, so long-distances may not be recommended.
The stroller also does fit a Baby Trend car seat. This is a great feature in that the baby can grow into the stroller jogger which extends the life of the jogger so the family gets the most out of their money.

Ease of Use
Ease of Use
The Baby Trend Jogging Stroller doesn't have adjustable tracking, which is a feature that allows parents to adjust and accommodate for any dragging that may occur, so the stroller continues to travel in a straight line. However, testers have reported that this was a relatively unnecessary feature has it respectably stays on course. It does pull a little bit when running at higher speeds, but this can easily be corrected by tipping it back onto the course or turning the wheel.
The stroller doesn't have an adjustable handlebar which can contribute to the issue if it's not set at the proper height for the runner. The stroller is extremely easy to push and turn with great response. Turns don't have to be initiated ahead of time due to its narrower width and shorter wheelbase. It's lightweight which adds to the ease of use. Back tipping and wheelies are easy if runners need to maneuver around curbs without any bouncing. Reviewers often state that it provides an ultra smooth ride, and transitions between two different terrains don't wake their sleeping child.
