Britax B-Agile and B-Safe Travel System, Black

My husband and I spent a good amount of time researching strollers and car seats taking into considering safety (of course), reliability, comfort, size, price and others. We settled on Britax almost immediately and I spent countless hours trying to find a set that was affordable. On the Britax website the stroller itself is over $300! Ouch! You can imagine my surprise when I found this set on Amazon and I immediately made the purchase.

When our order arrived I was elated to find out how compact the stroller gets, considering I had a Lexus ES. A large stroller wasn't really an option. But I can fit 8 of these strollers in my trunk! Also the car seat and base set were easy to put in the car!

The stroller was super east to assemble and looks fantastic. We chose the black set, so we could use it for a long time and hopefully with our next baby. We tested it out around the house and the stroller takes corners with easy, feels light weight (but not cheap) and we love... Read more

The baby's not here yet, but I'm already really glad we went with Britax; we'll see how I feel in a year or two.

In the end, a lot of picking a stroller/travel system is just what feels right to you, so you should go to a big baby store and try several strollers out. We went shopping with a totally different brand in mind, but after a mind-boggling hour of pushing, pulling, folding, attaching, and detaching several travel systems, we went home with the Britax B-Agile in large part because my wife just liked the way it folds and deploys the best, as well as how light it is -- it was one of the lightest in the store. I was leaning towards a Chicco, but its pull-handle folding mechanism was admittedly a little frustrating and it was definitely heavier, whereas this B-Agile is just click, lift, whoosh - done. Plus, as an engineer, I liked the click-and-go attachment system of the Britax (note: NOT the same as snap-n-go...more on that later), where the strollers and the... Read more

Individually these pieces are fine. Together they're better than okay, but not great. The stroller with the infant seat on it is extremely hard to steer (impossible if you lock the front wheel, which they say you have to do if you're using the infant seat), and even harder with only one hand. Also, as noted in the review of the car seat by itself, the great canopy on the stroller bumps into the handle of the car seat so that it's impossible to completely keep out the sun or rain (see customer pics on the car seat).

I paid $314 (+ tax) for this set; I wouldn't pay $439 for it. I like Britax stuff and the pieces individually, but the one killer is that I can't go shopping with the baby, and for that reason alone I wouldn't buy it again. I might actually go and get a different Britax stroller (since I'm kind-of stuck with the car seat; they're hard to sell because you're not supposed to buy them used) just so that I can have a bigger underseat basket...
