Review on Baby Trend Rocket Lightweight Stroller Princeton - SEO Optimized by Anthony Robichaud

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing Quality and Value (updates over a year later!)

What a pleasant surprise this purchase has been! The night before our first family vacation with our 10 month old daughter we discovered that our stroller was busted. Great, right? We ordered this because we wanted something lightweight, with a 5-point harness, and that could ship to our destination fast. We have the baby trend jogging stroller at home, and I have to say, this is going to replace it for regular use. This stroller is awesome. It's a very smooth ride. We used it in Disney World without any problem. It folds up very nicely. The sun shade completely detaches which is a nice feature. The soft parent hanging organizer that it comes with is actually very good. I was worried it would get in the way of hanging my diaper bag on the handles but they work together very nicely. Also, the stroller was very stable with the full packed diaper bag hanging on the handlebars and my 18 lb baby in the seat to balance it out (of course I would never recommend walking away from it, but I was pleased with the stability given the added hanging weight of the diaper bag). I've seen many reviews of tall parents. I'm here to say that as a 4'11" mom I also found the handlebars to be at a very comfortable height. The seat does sort of recline, but it's only a very small difference and if your child needs a steeper recline option this won't cut it. The lower basket holds a surprising amount of items. Overall, I just really love this stroller. I foresee it becoming my everyday stroller that lives in my car for outings. I also love the price point and I feel confident that we got a lot of value for the price. If it were to reach the end of its lifespan I would buy the exact same thing again!Update August 2018:We’ve had this stroller for over a year now and I’m still in love with it. It has survived 4 plane rides (without a protective bag, BTW), two Disney World trips, and countless other daily uses. From being outside in the summer and holding my sunscreen-laden toddler, it had quite a bit of white sunscreen residue on it. Last night I took some dish soap and a wash cloth to it. Ten minutes of scrubbing and a hose off later, it looks brand new again! Also, this thing dries so fast! I’ve had it out in the sun for just an hour and it’s almost completely dry. The detachable shade that came with it has seen better days - but I believe that’s my fault because I forgot to remove it before our last plane ride. It doesn’t have any holes, but it did get a little bent out of shape. I would buy this over and over again. Really great purchase and standing the test of time and wear.

Pros
  • Lightweight with lots of storage
Cons
  • The stroller is prone to tipping over, especially when turning or going over uneven surfaces
