Britax B-AGILE Stroller

[VbChristy]

Has anyone tried the Britax B-AGILE Stroller at Disney? What did you think? Is it a good vacation stroller. (We travel a lot!) My little one will be just over 5 mos old when we go, but he has pretty good head control already. thanks!

I don't have a b Agile, however I work in a baby store and we sell a ton of them! They are a pretty nice stroller. My personal preference is the Baby Jogger City Mini. An upgrade from that would be the Mini GT. I would go to a store so you can compare all 3 side by side and see which one fits your needs the best.

We LOVE our B-Agile! We took ours to Disney when DS was 18 months old, but I think it's suitable for a 5-month-old, too, especially if he has solid head control. We use it pretty much every weekend -- at the mall, the zoo, to the park, etc. Our B-Agile was actually our fourth stroller, and I so wish it had been out when DS was born.

The City Mini is nice, too, but the B-Agile is a bit cheaper (or at least it was when we bought ours), and I wanted to go against the grain and NOT get the same stroller everyone else was.

We bought the B-Agile in anticipation of our Dec WDW trip. My son is 2.5, but he is 40 inches tall. I needed something with a high weight limit and that would fit his tall frame. Both the City Mini & the B-Agile fit the bill. I went to Babies R Us and tried them both.

The B-Agile won out because I felt that it was easier to fold, there is not a bar in the back so it is a bit better for parents with long legs, the basket was easier to use, and it was cheaper.

So far we have used it on rough concrete, fairly high wet grass, and indoors on carpet and it has performed wonderfully.

I bought mine on Ebay. It was new in box, but it must have been a return or dented box item. I paid less than $140 for it. Unfortunately I was not able to get the pretty Peacock blue that I wanted, but for $60 in savings I am not complaining.

I have this stroller and love it! We brought it for our 2 year old last March (who was 21 months old at the time) and it was really easy to maneuver and the sun shade is great! I actually just ordered the double version of this stroller and can't wait to receive it! I haven't tried it with a younger baby though, DS was at least one when we purchased it.

Does anyone have experience with the double? It's on sale right now at Target. We'll need one for my youngest DD (almost two) and new baby due in March. I would like my five year old to be able to hop in on occasion as well.

Does it fold ok for gate checking and Disney buses?

I have the double and really like it. I use it mostly for my 17 month old twins (we've used it since about 6 months) and occasionally my six year old has snuck in if it's available. The Britax is easy to fold so I wouldn't think it would be a problem, but any double is bulky.

I compared it to the City Mini double and I'm a bit stroller obsessed so I did lots of testing. The main reason I picked the Britax is the handle is adjustable (DH and I prefer different heights), basket is easier to access (from sides, back and you can unzip under the foot rest to get in if they are reclined) and the pre 2012 CM has a straight bar that I kicked every step I took (I heard they changed that but can't find a picture). The con of the Britax B Agile is the kids never sit straight up at a 90 degree angle,they will always be slightly reclined. So far that bugs me more then the boys, but one is always pulling himself up.

I do love the Baby Jogger Brand, I have the City Select for everyday inside use (to me a side by side is a PITA indoors). But for anything outside (Disney is outside to me) I love my Britax B Agile.

Hmmmm the not sitting straight up concerns me because my son already tries to pull himself up when he is sitting back and he is currently only 3 months old... It is sooooo hard to buy a stroller!

Just wanted to say that albeebaby has the double for less than target , even with target's "sale" price. And no tax or shipping either. Also cheaper including target's redcard discount.
