Ease of use and convenience
Seat and harness
This stroller has a multi-position reclining seat that is adjusted by loosening or pulling on a strap on the rear of the seat. It is relatively easy though not as convenient as the push button adjust feature provided by some of the competition.
To recline, you loosen the strap while to get to a more upright position, you push on the seat with one hand and pull on the strap with the other until you are satisfied with the upright position or till you reach the end of the strap.
This sit can adjust to an upright position that is convenient when your child is awake and is interested in his/her environment. It can recline pretty low to allow for comfortable outdoor naps and diaper changes. Manufacturer advice parents to use the upright position only when their baby is old enough to hold their head up.
The seat is padded for comfort and contains an adjustable five point harness. The harness is easy to put on and to release and it can be adjusted for height (it has three height adjustment levels).
Canopy and parent organizer
Baby trend falcon has a big canopy that adjust to provide protection against the wind and sun. It is easy to install and can be removed if needed. It has a viewing window through which you can check on your baby ever so often. It comes with a parent organizer that can hold some personal items like a phone and car keys and may be a drink.
Storage
The storage is pretty big and easy to access from behind. It can hold a diaper bag and other supplies you and baby will need during your ride. It can handle some shopping too.
Handlebar and brakes
The falcon features a foot activated rear parking brake that is somewhat easy to activate. It does not activate in a single step because it requires application of downward pressure on the left and right brake lever located on the rear axle of the stroller. You might need to move the stroller slightly forward or backwards to properly engage the brakes.
This stroller features a foam covered handlebar that is comfortable for parents especially as it doesn’t get too sweaty after a long ride.
Bumper bar and child tray
The bumper bar installs simply by aligning its anchors with the slots on the seat and pushing until it locks into place. To remove, you simply push on the release button on the bar and pull. The child tray has three placement positions on the bumper bar. To attach the tray, you simply align it to one of the positions and push down until it is in place. Since both bumper bar and tray can be remove easily, putting your child into this seat is easy too.
Travel system
This stroller can receive a baby trend infant car seat to form a travel system stroller. No adapters are required and installation of the car seat is relatively easy. Car seats face the rear when installed and requires the use of straps that go through the seat belt slot to hold it in place. The jogger need to be completely reclined before installation and adjusted to the most upright position after installation. Uninstalling is pretty easy.
Assemble
It is not super easy to assemble this stroller but it is not difficult either. Tires ship un-inflated and need to be inflated to 20-25 p.s.i. Tires needs to be inflated on a regular basis. The instruction manual has pictures to help with the coupling of this stroller. The instructions are easy to follow. Most of the assembling can be done without the help of tools.
Folding and unfolding
Baby trend falcon is folded by pressing on two release levers and pushing down on the stroller until it is completely folded and then using the release lever to secure it in place. Before folding, the stroller is completely reclined and the canopy closed. Releasing is pretty easy after you unlock the release lever. It folds nice and compact for easy storage and transportation.
Safety
Baby trend falcon features a swiveling 12” front wheel that locks both forward and backwards. When in the swivel mode, this stroller maneuvers easily around corners and crowded spaces. In the locked/jogging mode, it is stable and rolls straight, avoiding sudden turns that could be dangerous especially when the terrain turns rough.
The child tray is removable and is thus safe when jogging (no flying object hazard). Manufacturer advice against jogging with babies younger than six months in this stroller. Babies should be able to hold their heads up on their own before you jog with them. Jogging should not be done with the stroller in the reclined position for safety reasons.
The falcon is ok for children from 6 months to 50 pounds and up to 42” long. This stroller features a wrist strap that should be used every time you roll it. It should be attached to your hand and the rear lower frame especially when you are jogging.
The dual chrome suspension of this stroller is great for off road jogging because it helps to minimize the effects of bumps on a rough terrain and thus makes the ride smoother and safer for your baby.

This looks like an all around great jogging stroller. I was especially impressed with the amount of storage available for parents; as well as the folding ability to take up much less space. The price point seems to be very reasonable as well. I am wondering how easily the seat cleans up in case of “blow outs”? Thanks!
This stroller is very new and has very little customer review. From what I gathered, it is pretty easy to clean and handles torture from children well. It is an impressive stroller for less than $ 250. Especially as it has a suspension system for this price.
