About - Baby Trend Snap N Go

The Baby Trend Snap N Go is part of the stroller test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, traditional stroller models like the Snap N Go are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.


Ease of use:
Ease of use is based primarily on ease of safety harness use, folding and unfolding, adjusting backrest, lifting and carrying, engaging wheel brakes and car seat removal and installation (only for compatible strollers).

Maneuverability:
Maneuverability was assessed by trained staffers on how well the strollers maneuvered S-turns through cones, narrow sections, grass, dirt trails, uphill, downhill and curbs while walking.

Safety:
Safety for each stroller was assessed by our testing, applying the ASTM F833-09--a voluntary industry standard--and stability and usage tests designed by Consumers Union.

Comment:
This is a great design, but poor workmanship. The lock on the handle did not work properly. Baby Trend customer service promised to send a replacement part, but it was taking for ever to get the part. The display strollers at Babies-r-us too were defective. Babies-r-us store customer service offered approximately a $20.00 rebate and suggested exchanging the stroller. After checking a few managed to locate a defect free stroller. [...]

Comment:
This is a great solution if you have the right carseat for those first few months after the baby arrives. We had two Chicco Keyfit 30 carseats, which the company verified would work with the stroller. However, the newest Keyfit 30 carseats do not fit this stroller. Customer service at BabyTrend was subpar when trying to resolve this issue. We had to return it and find a new stroller.

Comment:
This is a really nice stroller! I use this stroller to grocery shop. The basket underneath is very sturdy and holds a lot. It is also very comfortable for baby and me when walking on a paved trail. The ride is smooth and feels sturdy. I love that I can pop the car seat into it easily. Sometimes I have to move the seat belt on the back of the car seat in order for it to pop in correctly-fyi. We also used this for air travel and it worked really great. I have a small car trunk and it fits perfectly in there. I'm very happy with this stroller and highly recommend it.

Strength
Easy to manipulate through stores; lightweight; nice storage underneath; folds easily and extremely flat when folded
Weakness
Finding a car seat that fits
We have heard other people say that they didnt like this stroller, but we loved having this when our twins were young! You can take it into stores easily, (trust me, the ones where the twins sit next to each other are EXTREMELY hard to take to stores b/c you dont fit in the aisles!). Someone gave us the base, so we needed to find new carseats. All Babytrends fit nicely, but we did notice that not all brands fit. We actually took the stroller into the stores and used the carseats on display to see if they would fit. We found that Evenflo worked nicely and they are affordable (with twins things can get expensive!). The only thing we noticed was with the back seat, you had to actually push the snap into place, whereas in the front it snapped on its own. If you had a babytrend one, it would automatically snap into place. To us, this wasnt a big deal at all b/c the carseats were so affordable, and we were such big fans of the stroller base!

Strength
Appears to be convenient for having twin infants.
Weakness
This product does not spell out which types of infant car seats are compatible. It claims it is compatible with most major brands, but it is only compatible with specific models of a few brands.
DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM BABY TREND. Customer service at Baby Trend does not answer phone calls but requires consumers leave a message for a 48 hour call back. Employees at Baby Trend are rude and supervisor always claims to be in meetings and unable to speak.

Strength
easy to steer with 1 hand, light-weight, large storage basket, great parent tray, can have 2 different carseats at the same time.
Weakness
a little bit of a twin-magnet for the gawking public and the basket can drag if too heavy.
love love love this stroller. i miss it already! this is a must for twin parents - especially if you were on any type of bedrest and have low muscle tone. it only weighs 11 pounds when not loaded with carseats and is so easy to open and close and load the babies in and out. can steer easily with 1 hand. this should be the 1st purchase for any twin mommy because it is instant freedom to take your babies out. because careful when your twins get heavier as the front seat can make the stroller a bit top heavy if you unload the back carseat 1st. also be careful on curbs. enjoy your babies! they grow so fast!
