Just wanted to let you all know. Lol. Last time we bought a graco travel system and I hated every second of it. To the point that I dreaded going anywhere because it was such a huge hassle. I bought the britax b-safe this time and skipped the stroller at first because I hate them (I thought). I finally broke down three weeks ago and bought the britax b-agile.
This thing is a dream, turns so easily, can maneuver through tiny spaces, can open and close one handed. It is light enough that I can carry it one handed. I don't hesitate to stop somewhere with her because I don't want to deal with the stroller. The sun shade is awesome on it. My only complaint would be storage, but I did buy the britax stroller organizer on amazon and it helps. I like it with the car seat attached and without. I am not saying this is the best stroller out there, because I don't know. But as a travel set, it is a very good choice for anyone.
Sweeeeet. We bought this one too and it's sitting in a corner of the living room. It was a tough choice between the Britax and the Chicco but the Amazon deal pushed us over the edge.
We have the B-Ready and love it! It's larger than the b-agile, and still so easy to turn and maneuver. They also have awesome customer service if you ever have issues.
We had gotten the Uppa baby with my DS and then almost 2 years later I went stroller shopping with my SIL and I wish we had gotten the Britax bc it was SO much lighter and pretty much the same concept.
We looked at strollers today because we were in a baby shop, you know while shopping for a fridge-freezer. The one I orginally thought I wanted DH never liked the handle, but he did like the Britax Affinity. It is one I will definitely consider.

Which Uppa baby stroller did you get? My husband is obsessed with the Uppa baby Vista, but it's SO expensive. He really likes that it can convert to a double stroller later (since we're planning on having 2 kids, though right now we're only pregnant with our first), but so do the Britax B-Ready and the City Select. We went to one big store to try out a bunch of strollers, but there were so many people, and strollers jammed in together, and they were all a pain in the ass to fold so it was sort of overwhelming.

We have the Vista and honestly it was amazing for us. I had a very difficult baby so we spent SO much time walking. I even had to have the wheels replaced! It's great if your tall bc the handles extend. The basket is huge but it is heavy, my mom and MIL always complained about that and that they couldn't fold it up easily. We had no issues with that though.

we'll be looking for a new stroller because the new gracco car seats don't fit on the old gracco snap n go stroller frames . For my older kid I like the city mini - it's ridiculously easy to open & close.
Thanks for the recommendation! I have been researching prams lately and have been looking for something small and light with great manoeuvrability that's perfect for city living. We need something that will recline for newborns without us having to buy a car seat attachment since it would be a waste as we don't own a car.

We have the Uppababy Cruz and Mesa car seat and it's been a good combination for our needs. I did have to buy an aftermarket parent organizer for the handle with two cup holders but once I got that sorted out I've been very happy. Sometimes I even use it in the house if I'm doing something that I can't have baby in the carrier for. The carrier is another story. We started with a K'Tan and an Ergo. Neither was right. I ended up with a ring sling that was just okay. Then finally I spent the $$$ on an infant size Kinderpack and I really wish I'd bought it first before any of the others I love it that much.
I have the same combo (b-safe + b-agile) and we love it too! I was originally planning to use a snap-n-go frame but it didn't fit with the car seat so we were sort of forced to upgrade to a real stroller. I'm so glad we did, because it's much better anyway!

Glad to hear. We ended up with the Britax Travel system as well. I was originally going with the City Mini when Amazon had that deal and I couldn't pass it up the price. Haven't used it yet, but can't wait to.
I also read on Lucie's list that the City Mini and the B-Agile were so similar that City Mini sued Britax for infringement. Not sure how accurate that is but between that and your raves, I feel like we made a good choice.
My friend has the city mini and was here when my stroller got delivered. She showed me how to do everything on mine because apparently they really are almost exactly the same. Lol
