I found a jogging stroller on CL the other day and ended up buying it..for $10, its an older Baby Trend Expedition, slightly faded and totally dirty but the only thing it needed was a new tube in one of the tires. I got a new one, cleaned up the seat, and it works great. I know nothing about this stroller, any likes or dislikes? I hope I made the right choice, my other option was an Instep for $20.

I have sold a lot, and no complaints. MY complaint is it is narrow. Sorry, but I am too wide to be really cofortable pushing it. Still, it is a steal for $10. They are about $90 new.

my one concern...and I think its the same with all jogging strollers...is how much the seat reclines when its in its upright position. I don't know if my ds will go for that.

There is some recline there, even with my bob. Can't speak for all, I just know mid grade models. I thought you were getting to safari? Anyway, yuo can still make money selling it!

I was going to get the safari but then I saw this one...money is SUPER tight and even that $10 that I saved was a lot for us. So I thought I'd just pick this one up, I really didnt need anything fancy anyway, I'll probably only use it for about 6-9 mos.

Then you can sell it for $40.

We love the Baby Trend jogger. We have a newer model in brown and green for my 11 month old sister that mom mom uses over the $1000 Mutsy system (I told her not to buy it they are so heavy we never use it). She wanted a "beach" stroller and I couldn't watch her spend $350+ on a higher end model that would sit outside in the rain/sun and get covered in sand, salt water and chlorine! She had been told that Bob was the only way to go but I talked her out of it and she absolutely loves the Expedition. We have a newer model but they all handle great and Olivia loves it!

I had this exact one for Josef-he it and was very at me when I sold it to a neighbor recently. He still fit into it, but we hardly ever used it anymore I would say it is a good deal, I payed $80 for mine a few years ago at Target while they were on sale.
