Anyone have a Britax B-Ready Stroller? (Love it or Hate it?)

cookinitup · September 2012

I'm considering the Britax B-Ready 2012 stroller, because the adaptability of it seems like it would work well for us, since #2 is on the way.

Does anyone have one and have thoughts about it?

I really like this stroller, BUT I decided not to get it because the rear wheels are super wide and the second seat is not a full size seat. I can see a younger child growing out of it quicker and/or not wanting to sit back there.

I like the Baby Jogger City Select because it has two full seats.

It seemed overly bulky to me compared to the UppaBaby Vista.

IT. IS. HUGE. I just couldn't get over how big it was. I ended up getting the B-Agile, which has an awesome double version!

I have a B-Ready and I LOVE it. I have a Britax Chaperone car seat and for now we are using it as a Snap n go with that. I like that i can face the seat or car seat forward or backward. It folds up super easy and i can easily put it in the back of my SUV. I have even gate checked it when I traveled when LO was 7 weeks old and I had no problems.

I also looked at the B-Agile, and I was not a huge fan of it, I didn't like how it reclined, it felt flimsy to me. I got my B-Ready brand new for $200 so that also contributed to why I bought it, I am not sure I could justify buying it at full price.

We have the B-Ready and Chaperone as well. Love it. I used it as a snap and go from birth and have also used it numerous times to travel (gate checked as well). This is our only stroller and we use it quite often. I haven't used it as a double yet so no experience there but I don't think we'll have any problems.

I also have the B Ready/Chaperone combo and LOVE it. I use it as a double snap and go for my twins and it works great. It's super lightweight and easy to manuever. We have one seat for it, I don't think we will use it as a double once the babies get a little bigger because we also have a Bumbleride Indie Twin, but as a single and also as a DSNG, I couldn't be happier with it.

we also have the B-ready and Chaperone combo, and even though we don't have an actual baby to put in it yet, we love it! I have been a nanny for years and I used the UBV in my current job, the B-ready is just a tiny bit bigger, like less than an inch, and the second seating configurations were much better.

We also looked into the City Select, but it was gigantic compared to the other 2, and harder to fold than the B-Ready.

The B-Agile is a nice stroller, but it's comparing apples to oranges. It's not a modular stroller like the B-Ready, so of course it's smaller, etc. It just depends on what you want out of a stroller!

We have the B-Ready. It fits easily into the back of DH's car, it maneuvers really well, and connecting our B-Safe carseat is so ridiculously easy. I love the basket and that it comes with a rain cover, cup holder, and pouch for parent stuff.

Also, the basket is big and really easy to get to (although this changes, depending on the configuration with 2 seats, according to some online video review I watched).

For us, the adjustable handlebar was a must have because DH has long legs and the other strollers (City Mini, B-Agile) were getting kicked as he pushed them.

I have one and really like it. Even though I only have one child, I have the second seat and use it all of the time when I go places with friends because it is less of a hassle than taking two strollers. My main reasons for purchasing was I didn't want to have to buy multiethnic strollers..:just one, and I wanted baby to face me a majority of the time so I could see what she was doing. I pushed it four miles today and it was light and rolled nicely. I also have the Chaperone car seat. With the second seat attached, I can easily fit my big diaper bag in the basket and access it through one of the zippered sides or the zippered front. It comes with the rain fly. Since my daughter is only about 20 pounds, I can easily unclick the seat to spin it around and reclick it into place. The whole thing folds together including with the second seat attached. I like that the second seat reclines to a nice angle and that the sun canopy is still pretty big. The second seat holds 35lb so that is still a pretty good amount of weight depending on your child. By the time we have kid two, my baby will still be able to fit in the lower seat while the infant seat is up top. Once kid two is able to sit in the actual stroller, he or she will go in the lower seat and my daughter will move to the top seat. I hear a lot of people stating that the lower kid cannot see in that seat. I had five friends that had Phil and Ted strollers which have the same seating arrangement. They had older kids....preschool age, that could talk and the ones on the lower portion never complained about not being able to see or wanting to be in the front seat. And when we went places like the zoo, when they got to an exhibit, they just turned the stroller sideways so the kid below could see...:no big deal. But I like the feel of it and that even with the second seat, it doesn't feel like you are pushing a double stroller.
