Baby Gizmo Britax B-Agile Stroller Review

[questianna]

I was so looking forward to Britax releasing the B-Agile in the Summer of 2011, then discovered that the leg rest is NOT adjustable like the B-Scene and B-Ready models before. Why, oh why couldn't they have remembered to make that leg rest adjustable? We currently have the B-Nimble, and even this has an adjustable leg rest.

when you lift the seat up from recline position, do you have to physically lift your child?

[questianna]

@BeachPeach822 Yes and no. If you're asking if you need to lift your child first in order to lift the seat, the answer is no. When you lift up the seat from behind, it automatically adjusts your child to an upright position.

I love moms who review products online!!

Great review, thanks! My opinion was much the same with two points to add: 1) Britax did not skimp on materials so the materials are of high-quality. 2) Overall design and customer needs seem to be as high a priority as child safety. The company really puts a lot of effort into features that I want instead of what is easiest to manufacture or cheapest.

Will britax come out with a b-agile that is a double stroller soon?

[Jwartman5391]

I have a question...my worst complaint about the bjcm is that when using the car seat adapter the canopy is really useless...does this happen with the b-agile as well...I couldn't tell on the britax website

[maormania]

the britax looks like it's flimsier than the city - i do like the automatic lock ... but which one do you think is the better quality purchase in terms of longevity?? PLEASE ANSWER IF YOU GET A CHANCE!

[BabyGizmoCompany]

@maormania The Britax isn't flimsier than the BJ. They are both of equal quality and I think they would both last. Thanks for the question! :)

@maormania Hey there... the britax & the City Mini are very similar but the great thing about britax is that it includes the infant carseat adaptor ! Unlike the city mini which you have to pay an additional $60 just for that piece :/

[KatMomof3]

wow... they really did a good job making a version of it from Britax! I can't remember how tall the city mini handle is, though... gonna have to compare that.

Why would someone want a three-wheel stroller over a four-wheel stroller? I have been wondering what the advantages are of each and why some mom's like the three-wheel design and some like the four-wheel design?

[nicolerowan]

@HeartMyKPop I *think* it is because it is easier to maneuver.

[paologreen]

@HeartMyKPop It's easier to maneuver and go jogging with, especially if you live in an urban area.

[questianna]

@HeartMyKPop To me, the appeal is fewer obstructions, which might help with saving space either in the trunk or the closet.

[CBhimireddy]

@HeartMyKPop -- they can be steered with only one hand (yay!) And they take up less trunk space. Try one out at BabysRUs or somewhere and you'll see a huge difference in maneuvering one handed.
