C. SandoC. Sando: I really do not shut up about how much I love this stroller. Even months after the purchase. I was really hesitant to buy it because the price seemed so low especially compared to other jogger strollers, and especially big names like Bob strollers. But the quality is really great and this is one of my favorite purchases in all of the million baby purchases we have made in the past year. Our 9 month old loves this stroller too.

So to break it down: I docked a star for the combination of the cons, but if I could dock just half a star I would because these things were in no way deal-breakers for us.

CONS:
- It's not a full canopy that covers the entire length of the stroller when pulled open for shade. It leaves the area behind the head completely exposed. We aren't going to be out in the rain so it's not the end of the world for us, but if you are, you are definitely going to need a cover.
- My last stroller's brakes were super easy to press down on and even just one side held it in place so maybe I am spoiled. This one you have to push down really hard on the foot brakes. When I'm wearing my running shoes, it hurts to pull the brakes back up and I have to shift...

CouleeBear: First, a little background - we live in the PNW in an urban area, and we spend a lot of time walking the dogs, walking to the park, on sometimes on dirt trails or uneven terrain. We bought a used Baby Trend Expedition on Craigslist for our first kiddo in 2015, but it is pretty old now and we wanted to upgrade for Baby #2. We need a stroller that will easily accommodate an infant seat (click in) and an average-sized almost 4 year-old. After trying a bunch of double strollers, and disliking them all, I decided to stick with a single.

After looking at the City Jogger Select, BOB, Thule, and about a million other jogging strollers, we came back to Baby Trend because it has the most features, the lightest weight, and fits our bigger kiddo.

CONS of the Range LX:
INFLATING THE SWIVEL WHEEL: It's darn near impossible to inflate the front wheel, as others have mentioned. A regular pump is simply too large to fit in between the spokes, and most 'stroller' or mini pumps either don't disengage (the wheel un-inflates when you are trying to disconnect the hose) or the flexible hose is too stiff. I bought several, and the Kitbest Mini Pump actually works:  Kitbest Mini Bike...
