I love the positive reviews for the Baby Trend Phantom Jogger Stroller, but am discouraged by the reviews for the Baby Trend Phantom Infant Car Seat. I am somewhat confused cos the Baby Trend Jogger Travel System has great reviews - I assumed it's the stroller and car seat mentioned earlier, sold as a set. Either no one likes the car seat on its own, or I'm getting the strollers mixed up.
Looking for options for car seats for the Baby Trend Phantom Jogger Stroller stroller, I dont see any mention of compatible car seats for the stroller on the Baby Trend website. I don't care if it is a Baby Trend car seat, it just needs to fit the stroller.
I'm so confused with the many strollers and car seats there are and want a set that's affordable but wouldnt fall into pieces within months. My budget is $200 for both the car seat and the stroller.
Just wondering if any of you have the Baby Trend Phantom Jogger Stroller, and what car seat do you use with it. How do you like the stroller? What other car seat/stroller combo would you recommend if not this?
Thank you very much in advance!
Answer
Personally, I think for that budget, its a great option.
The baby trend seats are known to be nice seats in the carseat world. They are affordable, and they've made some improvements in the last year or so. I read some of the reviews on target.com - frankly, I don't put much into reviews online for carseats.... 9 out of 10 people have their seat installed incorrectly. So clearly, its harder to use a seat when its used incorrectly.
(you can get the whole system here: http://www.albeebaby.com/baby-trend-jogger-travel-system-9139ct.html with 10% off by the way)
This is a good system: http://www.albeebaby.com/graco-quattro-tour-sport-travel-system-nectar.html and the seat goes up to 30lbs. The graco strollers are actually pretty good quality... they are just huge. But if I was in this pricerange, it's probably what I'd end up with.
If you can go up just a bit - what I would recommend is the chicco system... it's much more like a high end stroller/carseat then other mass produced strollers -

I'd say you're headed the right direction with the baby trend. You an also buy a stroller and combine it with a carseat individually...

Answer
Hi - there are a bunch!
My favorites are the BOB Jogger and the Baby Jogger City Series - they both take car seats using the additional car seat adapter. I believe they all work with graco car seats - a handful work with peg perego and chicco.
You could also plan ahead - if you think you might have more kids in the future, look into the Phil & ted strollers - you can use them with a car seat now - and later they turn into a double. Baby Jogger has a similar stroller also that turns into a double.
Now - if you think you are going to seriously job - then I can only really recommend the B.O.B. Revolution - it is really the only true jogging stroller that I would feel comfortable putting many miles on jogging with. The others are more like SUV type strollers.
If you want a cheaper option - and one that is sold as a "travel system" - then get this one - http://www.albeebaby.com/baby-trend-jogger-travel-system-9139ct.html
One last note - you could always just buy any jogging stroller you like, and simply get a snap & go for the first few months that you want to be able to use the car seat in a stroller...
