B-ready Stroller, Red

Initially, we were very happy with this stroller as it converts into a compact in-line double stroller that I've found very easy to take out and about by myself with both children. It is a little heavy but I think most of the luxury type strollers tend to be. The original quality of the materials was great, boasting a nice mossy green thick canvas top seat and hard, tire-like rubber wheels that could stand a lot of use. My youngest is five months old today and we have only been using this stroller since his arrival. For about a month now the stroller's front wheels have been squeaking. It has finally gotten to a point where the front wheels squeak so badly that it has become embarrassing. Who knew it become so loud?! I had to call in for replacement parts even though it can be extremely difficult making a phone call with two small children not to mention I was on hold for about a half hour or more. The representative was kind and understanding and said they would send a replacement right away, which they did. Unfortunately when they came it was very obvious that the quality of their materials has gone down. The front wheels were originally a hard plastic with a metal rod for attachment and a nice hard rubber tire wheel (which matches the back wheels of my stroller) but the new ones had changed to completely be made of cheap hard plastic (excluding the metal attachment rod). Just rolling the stroller back to my trunk after putting the wheels in made them already appear obviously plastic and cheap...since they are completely plastic and the back are rubber, they don't even match anymore!! After another long Britax customer service hold period I have learned that this is the new wheel they are making and the wheels that actually match my stroller and are at the level of quality we EXPECTED and PAID FOR are just no longer available. I guess we've learned our lesson...no more Britax as they've sold themselves out. I think after paying hundreds of dollars for a stroller (and all of the parts to go along with converting it to a double) you should at least expect that if something goes wrong with it you would receive parts at the same level of quality as the original. Guess not.

Bought it 3 years ago with my son knowing our family would grow. Now use it with both kids and it works great, still in great shape except for a little dirt. I have heard it is heavy but if you want a quality stroller then it will weight more than a cheap plastic one. Recommend for anyone who will have a growing family.

I received this stroller for my shower last weekend. The hubby put it together which was a breeze compared to our last stroller from a diffrent company. I sat my 4 1/2 year old in it because he only weights 32 pounds and I was able to push him with only 1 hand! His old stroller was not that easy to maneuver at all. The ride is so smooth. The complaints of it being bulky doesn't bother me. It's a full size stroller so of course it's going to be a bit bulky. I don't know why that would that be a big deal. Now if it was a light weight stroller and it was bulky then that's a different story. Anyway to each his own. I'm happy with my stroller. Folding and opening is awesome and my 4 year old loves it so much that I don't think he's going let his little brother ride on it alone. I might have to get the second seat adaptor.

Since we knew we were expecting twins, I knew I would have a challenge finding a stroller I liked. I wanted one that would fold up nicely, but it also had to fit through a door. This stroller also had a bonus where I could snap in their infant car seats (a Chicco and a Britax,) and then use the seats when the kids were older. One note about the infant seats, I could only have one non-Britax infant seat. We bought an adapter that could only be used for the top seat. The stroller was very easy to maneuver on many different types of terrain, but I mostly used it on smooth surfaces like pavement, store floors, etc. It was ok on gravel, but it's not something I would want to use for an extended period of time. On smooth surfaces, I could turn on a dime, and the foot brake pedal was easy to lock. It was even easy to fold up. With the regular seats in, all I would have to do is recline the bottom seat, lift up on the handle release, and fold. The stroller basically collapses to where it is flat, but it stays the same width. Since it locks when it folded, it wasn't as cumbersome to handle as others. The handle also moves up and down to help with walking and not kicking a seat or wheel. For the kids, they seemed to have a lot of room. They seemed happy in whichever seat they sat. If they were in the top seat, they could look around at everything. If they were in the bottom seat, they could have some quiet time and play with whatever was in the basket by their feet. There is no tray for either seat, but the safety bar was padded and easy to move or remove. We just added a velcro tether on the bar so we could attach snack cups or sippy cups. All of this is coming from a person that had to be convinced to buy a stroller. I was told by my mom that it really IS one of those baby items you need. Once I started using it, I am so glad I listened. I used this stroller everywhere I went for almost 3 years. I tried out other strollers, just to see if they would compare, but I would always go back to the B-Ready. I didn't have to take off a wheel to get it in my vehicle, nor did I have to worry about space when folding it up. It held up to the abuse and still looked good. I cannot say enough good things about this stroller!

Great stroller! I had my first 2 kids 1 year apart – so a double stroller was basically a necessity for our family. The double-wides were fine for jogging or walking on the street, but next to impossible to use while in the grocery store or mall. I spent hours researching different in-line strollers and reading product reviews and finally made the decision to go with the Britax. Things I love about the Britax B-Ready: Extremely well made and durable – The frame seems to be made of a heavy duty metal/aluminum – not some cheap plastic, and holds up great to my chunking it in and out of the car. Same with the seats and attachments. Beautiful to push – strolls and glides so nicely and allows for a very smooth and comfortable ride for my kiddos. Folds very easily and compact – I love that I can quickly and easily fold the B-ready with both seats on and yet it still takes up very little space in the car. Front seat can be positioned to face inward or outward – when my son was young, he had to face me or he would cry the whole time. Love the many different seating configurations. Top seat Footrest – My daughter likes having her feet up. The foot rest can be positioned in 3 different ways, up like a recliner, mid-way or all the way down. Things I dislike about the Britax B-Ready: Not as enjoyable for older children – I owned this stroller for about 3 years and now that my oldest kids are 2 & 3, the bottom seat is not as appealing to them. This was never an issue when they were younger though. A bit difficult to get your child into the bottom seat – getting my kids in the bottom lower seat was obviously a bit more challenging than the top seat and might be considered a turn-off for some. I really can't think of anything else I dislike about the Britax B-ready. I've seen people complain that it is too big – maybe this is true if you are using it as just a single stroller, but for a double stroller this is one of the most compact I have seen. Things I worried about before purchasing the B-Ready: Will my feet kick the bottom seat while pushing the stroller? – I'm 5'8” and my husband is 6' so this was a valid concern of mine. Even with the bottom seat fully reclined – neither my husband nor I have ever come close to kicking the bottom seat. The stroller is made at a height that short or tall – you will be able to push this comfortably. Will my kids fight over who gets to sit up top? Will the child on bottom complain? – This was never an issue when my kids were young – newborn to 2 years old. I would often lay my youngest in the bottom seat with the seat fully reclined and dangle toys from the handle bar. Then other times I would have my youngest in the top seat facing me and my oldest in the bottom seat. Either way they were both happy. Now that my youngest is almost 2 and my oldest is 3 – neither are as content being in the bottom seat and both fight for the top. Overall Opinion: The Britax B-ready is a great, well-made stroller that in my opinion is worth the investment.
