What it does well

  • Two seats rated to 55 lb each
  • Converts between push and pull
  • $239.99 is the third-lowest price among the 27 wagons listed
  • Cargo area when not carrying two

What it gives up

  • 37.88 lb is heavy to lift into a trunk
  • 6 months and sitting unassisted, so no newborn use
  • Folded it is 45 inches long
  • Only 3-point harnesses

What owners say

Owners mostly bought the Expedition as an affordable way to move two children, often a toddler plus a baby, without a double stroller. Several say they now reach for it before their double, and families with kids aged from baby to six describe both fitting with room left for bags. Parents take it on neighborhood walks, beach trips, farmers markets and park days, and one owner whose children are now 3 and 6 still uses it occasionally and says it has held up well.

The main trade-off is bulk. Owners describe it as huge, and how well it fits in a car depends on the car: one family fits it in a Mazda CX-5 without trouble and another fits it in a RAV4 with beach gear, but a Ford Escape owner has to remove the front wheels and another family can only carry it in one of their cars. Because it folds flat, one owner stands it on its side in the trunk. One owner calls the fold easy once learned and says the wheels pop off easily. One owner says the canopy falls short and was hunting for better coverage.

Owners say it suits families with two young children who want a wagon without paying premium prices, and parents of active toddlers who resist being strapped into a stroller. One owner who also has a Wonderfold uses the Expedition for neighborhood outings and travel and the Wonderfold for bigger outdoor days, and another moved to it from an Uppababy Vista. Owners who want plenty of features or a compact fold may find it too plain and too large.

What owners like

  • Many owners use it in place of a double stroller and say they prefer it: one with twins finds it easier to move and push than their double, and another family stopped using the double altogether
  • Two children ride in it comfortably, and owners describe a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old, or a 4-year-old and a baby, sharing it on outings
  • Owners whose wagon came with Baby Trend's universal car seat adapter clicked an infant seat on the front while the toddler sat in the back, and one liked that the seat sat at the correct angle with storage still free underneath
  • Parents see it as a budget pick: owners note it is often on sale for far less than premium wagons, and one ruled out a Wonderfold on price and size
  • Kids who are done with strollers are happy in it, and owners say it is easy to get children in and out and a good place for a tired toddler to lie down
  • Owners use the front basket or the cooler insert for food and drinks and still fit a diaper bag, toys and towels in the wagon

Common complaints

  • It is big. Owners call it bulky and huge, one has to pull the front wheels off to fit it in a Ford Escape, and another family can only carry it in one of their two cars
  • It folds flat rather than in half, so it covers the trunk floor. One owner gets most of a RAV4's cargo space back by standing it on its long side
  • It is basic: one owner says it does not have many features and another wishes it had storage underneath, relying on the front basket instead

Questions owners ask about the Baby Trend Expedition 2-in-1 Wagon

Can I put an infant car seat on the Baby Trend Expedition wagon?

Owners whose wagon came with Baby Trend's universal adapter used it with infant seats, including a Chicco bucket seat, with a toddler riding in the back. Baby Trend's page for this model names no compatible car seat and lists the seats from 6 months, so check what is in the box before you plan around it.

Will the Expedition fit in a RAV4 or a small SUV?

Owners fit it in a RAV4, and one says it takes most of the space laid flat but leaves most of the trunk free when stood on its long side. A Mazda CX-5 owner says it fits fine, while a 2018 Ford Escape owner has to remove the front wheels to get it in.

Is a stroller wagon better than a double stroller for a toddler and a baby?

Most owners who have both prefer the wagon, saying it pushes more easily and the toddler can climb in and out. One family keeps a tandem double for indoor places like malls and aquariums and uses wagons outdoors.

How good is the canopy?

One owner who otherwise likes the wagon says the canopy is weak and was looking for something with better coverage. Another bought a generic stroller-wagon rain cover and says it fits well.
