Noah’s Mommy asked:


I am thinking about getting this Baby Trend Light Weight Stroller from walmart.com
http://www.walmart.com/Baby-Trend-Lightweight-Sport-Stroller/ip/10996587

We have a BIG Jeep stroller that I love but it is time to downgrade to a smaller stroller, My son is 2 & a lot of the time we dont even use a stroller but I know I still need one around for those times when him walking would be to much or just trips in general where he may need a nap while on the go. Anyway My question is he fluctuates from 38-40lbs most strollers have a weight limit of 40lbs, what do you parents do? Do you still keep using the stroller or do you listen to those weight limits?
Do you think it is a waste of time to buy this or any other stroller with a weight limit like this & my son already hitting the 40lb mark?

Thanks!! :) Are their light weight strollers with weight limits over 40lbs? I want the whole shebang of a large stroller but smaller. I want the parent/child tray cup holders, basket underneath etc.. :) Thanks for the answer. I of course would never think about going over a weight limit on a car seat, but I’m sure they put weight limits lower then what they expect these strollers to break at to save their butts. But I’m just wondering if its really a good idea, You are probably right Jayne, Best to try my best to find one with a higher weight limit.

    Yes, your son is only going to get heavier, You should look for a stroller with a higher weight limit. It isn’t safe to go to much over the limit. The stroller could break with your child in it. jayne

    Wow your little one is a big boy! My three and a half year old weighs 38 lbs :) My kids have all ran on the smaller side, so I have never run into this issue before. My Graco Quattro Tour Double stroller has a 40lb weight limit in the front and 50 in the back. The single version holds up to 50 lbs. My sister has one and loves it. But they are more expensive about $150.

    Anyways, I don’t think you are going to find a stroller that has more then a 40 lbs weight limit that is inexpensively priced. So I would probably either just keep using your big jeep one ( providing the limit is above 40lbs) when you do need it. Julie mama to 1 boy and 3 girls!

    Well I think most strollers are up to 40lbs, and specially the light weight ones! so getting a stroller that wont be of much use to you isnt a very good idea. Because you could ignore the the weight limit but for a couple of lbs but if your son is already 40lbs at 2 -my son was 40lbs at 4! then you wont be able to use it for much longer unfortunately.

    OHH wait!! I just saw that the Maclaren weight limit is 55lbs!

    This one is up to 50lbs!
