Joovy Sit-n-Stand or Baby Trend?

I wanted to order/buy today.  Which one do you like better?  And what model do you like for the Baby Trend SNS?  (I know there is the deluxe, LX, etc)

 

Many thanks!

I have the Joovy Caboose Ultralight and have ZERO compaints.  One thing that I really noticed that set it apart was the sun protection for the baby and toddler.

Thanks! Is there a version that is not "ultralight" or is that the only SNS that joovy makes?

Not really sure.  I *thought* they replaced their regular one with the Ultralight.  But, double check their website.

I have the Baby Trend Sit and Stand. Not sure what model - got it from BRU about a year ago.

It's worked just fine for us and I was happy to not spend the extra money on the Joovy. It's comfy for both boys and I liked that it actually had a bit more room for the older child to sit in the jump seat then the Joovy did. The Joovy handled a bit better, but for me it wasn't worth the extra money for that, especially considering I only use it in stores or malls.

I have the Joovy Ultralight and love it. For me being lighter and having more maneuverability was a big factor because when hauling around 2 kids (especially in instances when I'm by myself), the ease of use of the stroller made all the difference.?

The only thing I'm not wild about with the Joovy is the parent organizer that attaches to the handle. Since it's not plastic, you can't just set your drink in it with one hand, you've got to have both hands free. Not a huge deal, though.?

Oh, and if you decide to go with the Joovy, if you order it from strollerdepot.com, it is $239 with free shipping. That's quite a bit cheaper than what I found in stores. Something like $270.?

We have the Sit N Stand LX & love it!  Got it for $120, but I saw it on sale at BRU a month ago for $116!  Our 3 year old AND 5 1/2 year old both fit on the back of that thing.  One sits & faces forward & the other stands & faces me while I push it.  Our infant's Graco Snug Ride 32 snaps right into the front with the special attachment that comes with the stroller for infant seats.  LOVE IT!!  I have gotten lots of remarks on it.  The sun shade is quite large, so it provides lots of coverage.  It has 2 cup-holders in the parent tray & a compartment with a cover, which is really nice. This stroller is the best!

I bought the Baby Trend SNS Plus last year -- the reason I chose that one over Joovy was that you could put the infant carrier on the jump seat (closest to the parent) and the toddler in front (as opposed to the carseat in the front).  That wasn't an option with last year's Joovy put I heard that changed.  I also like that it has a removable seat in the back, so now I have the option of letting my older kid sit on the jump seat or sit in a real seat.  Not sure if Joovy has that option.  My only complaint is that the rear seat doesn't sit completely upright - it has an adjustable recline, but you can't get it to be in a fully upright position.  It's kind of akward for the kid in the back, so I usually prop a jacket or blanket behind them.

We have the Baby Trend SNS plus and love it.  I like that it can be a double or SNS, and it has good storage underneath.  The parent tray is nice, and it folds up pretty easily.  It fits fine in my trunk--Subaru Outback, as well as my sister's Malibu, with room for other junk. The boys seem comfortable in it, and they are tall.  We tried the Joovy but for the price, I couldn't beat having the option of a double as well.

We looked at the Joovy a couple weeks ago.  IMO- there was not much room for the older child to sit comfortably in the back bench, with an infant carrier up front.  I thought there was more room with the Baby Trend.

I know I am late but thought I would tell you what I think....I have a Joovy and like it but don't love it. I just saw the Baby Trend at a garage sale yesterday for only $30 and wish I would have bought it. There is so much more room on the back for the older child to sit...I actually think both of my kids could fit on it unlike the Joovy. I love the parent tray and the carseat option too. Okay now I think I am going to have to drive back over to the garage sale and see if the lady still has it. I am sure I could sell my Joovy for $30 or even $50!
