REVIEW: Britax B-AGILE - Final thoughts

For the last three months I have had the pleasure of testing the new Britax B-AGILE. This stroller has been everywhere with us since its arrival.

If you missed my first impressions on the B-AGILE you can read them here. And some more in depth thoughts here.

So, here we are. Finally I can share with you my final thougts.

In my last post I mentioned how I was yet to use the stroller with our new addition the Little dude, this has now been done. The buggy is suitable for babies from birth. However as a personal preferance I like my newborn to be facing me in the stroller. This is not an option with the B-AGILE stroller alone, but may be if you buy as a travel system. At nearly two months old I got over the fear of not having the Little dude face me and we went out and about with the B-AGILE.

Firstly I will say that it’s a shame the stroller does not come with a footmuff (the Britax Cosytoes footmnuff is available to buy seperately). I felt that the Little dude was quite exposed and at this time of year I felt he would have benefited from the footmuff as it’s very cold out at the moment. However, suited and booted in his winter snowsuit and wrapped up in a blanket he looked quite comfortable.

However, footmuff aside it was easy to strap him in and I was more than happy that he was safe and secure, but again, somesort of neck support for new newborns would be beneficial.

While out and about I found that I was not as bothered about the Little dude not facing me as I thought I would be and there is a mesh cut-out in the hood so that I can see down into the seat to keep an eye on him.

So, while I probably would prefer to use the B-AGILE with the Little dude when he is a bit bigger, it is perfectly suitable for newborns and I feel they would be more than happy. Little dude sleeps very soundly in this stroller. I feel that when he hits about four months old and he’s wanting to be looking around the B-AGILE will be prefect for him.

Looking comfy and snug.

 

In conclusion, I feel the Britax B-Agile is a great all-round stroller, it is ideal in most circumstances. Its lightweight frame and the one-hand pull-fold mechanism make it perfect to take with you on any day out. And while being light it still manages to feel strong and solid. If yoiu buy just the B-AGILE stroller I feel you have the perfect stroller to suit your baby from four months old right until they no longer need one. And if you buy the travel system I would be willing to bet that it will be the only buggy you need and will ‘grow with you’.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Britax for entrusting the fantastic B-AGILE to me. It’s a brilliant stroller and gets a big thumbs up from myself and the hubs.

 

For those of you wanting a male point of view keep checking back as hubs will be sharing his thoughts too.
