Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Plus Review
Features on this model include a rear foot brake, shade canopies, 5-point harnesses, child footrests, parent and child trays, and a fully reclining rear seat; also compatible with an infant car seat; the child seats and jump seat each hold up to 45 lbs. Parents purchase this stroller for its versatile seating options despite limited foot room and a hard-to-access storage basket.
Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Plus reviews award this tandem stroller high marks for its all-around versatility. It's a favorite among double strollers reviewers on Buzzillions and Amazon. Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Plus reviews on One Step Ahead, which sells a slightly different exclusive model with the moniker "Elite," note that flexibility, rather than style, determined its design.
Best suited for parents or caretakers with both a baby and a toddler or preschooler, the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Plus gives little passengers the choice of two standard stroller seats, one stroller seat plus a jump seat, or a stroller seat plus a standing platform. It is compatible with most popular infant car seats and boasts many sought-after features, such as rear foot brakes, sun shades, parent and child trays, and a fully reclining seat for newborns. The Sit 'N Stand Plus has one major advantage over the classic Sit 'N Stand: its rear seat can convert from a jump seat to a traditional, fully-reclining stroller seat, whereas the classic Sit 'N Stand rear seat cannot. This feature appeals to parents of "big kids" who like to stand and ride, but still get tired and want to nap.
While the Sit 'N Stand Plus isn't perfect, garnering criticism for limited rear leg room and its overall heft, there is no other inexpensive double stroller in the marketplace that offers parents quite as many seating options.
