Britax B-Safe and B-Agile

[ladygrey]

Does anyone have this carseat/stroller combo? If so, what are your thoughts? I like the appeal of the City Mini, but not the idea of having to buy an adapter for a carseat, and the B-Agile seems to be very similar to the CM (lots of Amazon reviews compare the two side-by-side).

Not at all what you asked, but we have the B-Ready and love it.

I have the B-Agile stroller, and though it's just been rolled around in our home, I love it. I actually was able to compare it against a City Mini today in a baby store, and am really happy we chose the B-Agile.

If you click on the customer-loaded photographs in this Amazon link, you can see someone did an extensive comparison between the two strollers. The B-Agile won. The better positioned bar at the base of the stroller is what won me at first. The bar on the City Mini is easier to trip on if you're not careful. www.amazon.com/Britax-USA-U341783-B-Agile-Stroller/dp/B0050GD2AE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1356914205&sr=8-1&keywords=b-agile

We have no plans to attach an infant seat to our stroller. I'm not a fan of a baby being in an infant carseat for extended periods of time.

We purchased the Britax B-Ready Stroller Bassinet. It's compatible with the B-Agile and B-Ready strollers. I LOVE IT. The thing snaps in/out of the stroller SO easily. And the bassinet can be used in the house just like any other bassinet. I plan to set it on the coffee table when I'm in the living room, etc.

The thought of our baby being able to kick their legs/stretch out if they want was a big selling point of the bassinet. I want them to be able to lay flat vs. stay srcunched up in their carseat.

ETA: We did not get a Britax carseat. We're getting the Maxi Cosi Mico. It's the lightest, and I believe most "trim" carseat on the market right now. It's far less bulky than an average seat, but still has ample space in the seat itself.

I have the stroller and LOVE IT!!!! It is one of my favorite baby gear purchases. It is great for the mall and shopping in stores It is not too big and very easy to maneuver. I also use when I walk my dog. It is smooth on the sidewalk and bike paths. I also use the car seat adapter. It is easy to use. but if I had to do it again I would have gotten the Britax carseat. So, I would not need the adapter.

It is funny, because I was just at BRU, yesterday using the stroller and 2 other couples asked me about it and tried it out. Both couples were trying to decide between the Britax and the citymini and both went with the Britax after talking with me and testing it out in the store.

We have them & love them both.

Honestly, my baby isn't even here yet and after reading reviews online and comparing in store, it is like an upgraded version of a City Mini.

We have the stroller (recent purchase) and really like it so far. I love how flat it folds.

We have both and love it. Only slight issue, the basket in the bottom of the stroller is a bit small but really, it's no big deal.

Thanks for the input, everyone. Right now, these are the two front runners and it's great to hear such positive things about them.
