Easy to Fold and Carry
The stroller’s quick fold one
hand design with its automatic chassis lock allows you to fold and pack the
stroller in moments and because of the aluminium frame the stroller only weighs
just over 16 pounds so is easy to put in the car or carry up steps.
Adaptable Design
The BRITAX B-AGILE Stroller
is just right for children from birth to 55 pounds and the padded, supportive seat features a 5-point
harness system with head pad that is adjustable without having to rethread or
unhook any webbing.
Suspension, Padding and Canopy
The stroller includes a number
of great design features. They include a very comfortable seat and head pad support.
One of the most simple, yet important feature is the extra large canopy with
its mesh ventilation which not only protects the child against the weather
but allows mother and baby to see each .And because of the BRITAX B-AGILE Stroller's
suspension and swivel front wheel you will both enjoy a smooth and comfortable
ride.
Storage and Parking
Should you need to take your
hands off the handle there is a parking brake that locks both rear wheels. Usually with a child there are plenty of items
to bring with them so The BRITAX B-AGILE Stroller has incorporated a number of storage
points. There is a large under-seat space for all those toys and personal items
and on the back an easily reachable zippered pocket
Reviews
: Good and Bad
By Rachel F
I had a Bugaboo Cameleon since my son
was born - but we are now moving from NYC to the suburbs and the Cameleon just
isn't easy to get in and out of the car, so I sold it on Craigslist and looked
at both the 2011 Baby Joggger City Mini (BJCM) and the B-Agile. I ended up
liking the B-Agile more than the City Mini for a few reasons:
1) I'm short (5'0") and the handle on the BJCM was way too high for me. It was also wrapped with this cheap plastic/rubber handle guard which I didn't like at all. The handle on the B-Agile was exactly like my Bugaboo - felt like the same height and was also wrapped in the same material as the Bugaboo.
2) I found the push/glide of the B-Agile to be better than the City Mini. I see almost no difference between it and the Bug Cameleon. It might even be easier to maneuver b/c of the 3 wheel design!
3) B-Agile has suspension. I don't believe the BJCM has any suspension - at least it didn't feel like it did!
4) I liked the material better on the B-Agile better than the shiny slick material of the BJCM. (This is a personal preference, of course.)
5) The seat in the B-Agile was roomier and overall looked more comfortable. The seat was sturdy and structured - not a slumpy soft material seat like the BJCM. Both strollers provided good back support.
6) The straps on the B-Agile outshine the BJCM by a million miles. They are so easy to adjust - no re-threading or re-clipping needed and the buckle is childproof. (Many of my friends 3 years olds can get themselves out of the BJCM buckle in an instant.)
7) The basket is more accessible than the BJCM.
8) The canopy is large, but not too large to block the child's view when out for a stroll.
9) The peek-a-boo window in the canopy is mesh (not ugly vinyl) and allows for air-flow.
Now for the complaints..... ;)
1) The seat in the most upright position is not upright at all. It's still at a pretty significant angle. My son likes to sit up and look around and he simply can't do that w/ the B-Agile in it's manufactured state. With that being said, I was able to rig the straps that adjust the incline to make the seat upright. Basically, I take the 2 hanging straps in the back of the stroller and wrap it around the frame. Then, I take the D-shaped rings at the end of the strap and fit them in between the snaps that connect the seat material to the frame of the stroller. It works very well, except you have to unsnap the rigged straps before you collapse the stroller. Not a huge deal, but Britax should have made a more upright seat, like the 2011 BJCM velcro strap option.
2) The frame is creaky sometimes when the stroller is loaded up with stuff and you need to turn it.
3) After the promotion is finished at the end of August, the stroller will come with no add-ons. ALL add-ons need to be purchased separately. I wish it just came with at least one added feature like a cup holder, a rain cover, a carry bag, child tray, etc.
4) The child tray attachment is a good feature, but I wish that it was adjustable! It's just too far out for my 17 month old son.
3) The storage pouch in the back kind of hangs in an ugly way, in my opinion. You can roll it up to get it out of the way.... but then you can't use the storage pouch!
I think that's it! Overall, I'm very happy with the stroller and think it was a good choice for my needs. If the seat went totally upright on it's own, I would have given this 5 stars, instead of 4!!!

I was in search of a lightweight
stroller for running errands, going to the store, etc but wanted something more
substantial than an umbrella stroller. Since my baby is 2 months old, I also
wanted something that could lie flat. I got several recommendations from
neighborhood moms for the City Mini, so I was pretty much sold on it until I
went to "test drive" it and came across the new B-Agile. The
strollers have the same look, are the same size, and just about the same
weight. But, the B-Agile won me over because it has:
- a much smother ride - the shocks seem better and the wheels are better
- better foot clearance - the City Mini is not good for people with long legs and/or people who take long strides. B-Agile has a curved bar so your leg can fit
- better seat padding - the City Mini feels hard as rocks compared to B-Agile, plus B-Agile has a great infant head rest
- fabric isn't as "slippery" - City Mini fabric feels slick and cheap
- handle bar much more comfortable to hold - similar to BOB
- folding is SO easy and locks into place automatically
Everything else is comparable or the same. For $10 more than City Mini, get the B-Agile. Only downfalls are the expensive attachments (you will pay just as much for Baby Jogger City Mini attachments)....for $249 you'd think they would give mom a cup holder for coffee!!!

My quest for the perfect stroller has
been ongoing for the past 10 years. At this point in time I'm convinced that a
perfect stroller does not exist. I've had Peg Perego, Graco, Chicco, Evenflo
and Kolcraft strollers. I've also taken numerous other strollers for test
drives. The bottom line is every stroller is missing at least something that
keeps it from being labeled "perfect". For the Britax B-Agile, there
are a few things that keep me from being able to call this a perfect stroller.
For starters, I'm not a fan of infinite reclining seat backs. No matter how easy or simple the manufacturer claims they are, there's usually something that gums up the works. For this stroller, right out of the box it the adjust function didn't work well because the webbing on on side was installed twisted. After talking to their customer service [who offered to replace the stroller citing the problem as unable to be fixed] and playing with the sliding adjustor and the webbing, I managed to straighten out the webbing to allow the seat back to adjust smoothly. I suppose it's possible that the webbing could twist during repeated use.
It should be noted that while you could use this stroller with a newborn, the seat back does not fully recline. It comes close to it, but it does not form a flat surface like the Chicco Cortina does. It does recline enough that a baby will be able to nap.
I'm not thrilled with how this stroller folds. Sure it's quick and easy, but I honestly don't see myself folding this with a baby in one arm. I particularly don't like that this stroller doesn't stand on it's own once folded. It's a feature that I've always appreciated in my Peg Perego, Chicco and cheap-o Evenflo strollers. The way this stroller folds also places the handle on the ground. I don't know about you, but I prefer the portion of the stroller that my hands will come in constant contact with to stay off the ground. I can only imagine how dirty the handle bar will get as I fold this up in the muddy parking lot at the soccer field.
The buckle on the child restraint harness is incredibly stiff. Releasing the straps from the buckle takes a good deal of effort. I had previously thought he Peg Perego buckles were the worst, but Britax certainly proved me wrong. If your child is a pint sized Houdini, then this buckle should do an excellent job of keeping him or her in the stroller.
The lack of a parent tray for the price of this stroller also does not impress me. I've felt the same way about my Peg Perego strollers as well. For what you're paying for this stroller, it would be nice to not have to buy the cup holder, too. In my experience the add on cup holders for these higher end strollers are usually unable to hold anything other than a water bottle.
The storage basket underneath is ok. If the stroller is fully reclined you're going to have some difficulty accessing what is in there particularly if you carry a larger diaper bag. It's not an awful storage basket but it's not the best either.
I'm not a fan of the fixed height handle bar. I'd much prefer one that is adjustable. I'm 5'5" and I find the height for the handlebar on this stroller to suit me nicely, but I can see how shorter or taller parents might have issues with the handle height.
So what do I like about this stroller? Well, the canopy is very nice. It's generously sized and will certainly shield little ones from the harsh sun. I love the peek-a-boo window on the canopy. The flap lifts up to reveal a mesh insert which you can see through. This design means you won't have clear vinyl that develops a hole over time or gives you a distorted view. It also means you can actually see your child. I have a Chicco Cortina and I'm amazed at I can't even see through the peek-a-boo window. The rear of the canopy has a nice storage pocket which can be rolled up and secured (You'll notice that Britax was skimping on the elastic and the loop to secure the back of the canopy is not long enough to work, I remedied this with an elastic hair tie.). Once the back is rolled up there is a mesh lining that offers ventilation.
I love how smoothly this stroller handles. I'd have to say it's the smoothest ride of all the strollers I own, so it gets high marks for that.
The one touch brake is nice. It is easily engaged and disengaged. I like that one touch locks both rear wheels. Since the brake isn't stiff, you can lock and unlock the brake with sandals on and not kill your toes as you disengage the brake. It's the best brake lever that I've encountered on a stroller.
The stroller upholstery is nice. The material is a type that feels like it can easily be spot cleaned. I'd say the fabric is comparable to what you will find on Chicco and Peg Perego strollers. It's certainly nicer than what you will find on a Graco, Baby Trend, or Kolcraft stroller.
Adjusting the height of the harness straps is pretty easy. I like that there's no rethreading involved.
The maneuverability of this stroller is excellent. It's probably the only stroller I own where I won't wind up running it into everything in my path. With a lighter child, you should be able to push this stroller one handed. I tested it out with my six year old who is 43 inches and 46 pounds. Pushing her in this stroller required me to use two hands.
So how well did the six year old fit in the stroller? Well, I'm surprised to report that she had plenty of head room with the canopy fully extended. With it folded up her head was hitting the canopy. Her knees were up a bit but this stroller can certainly be used in a pinch for a larger child. She told me the seat was comfortable.
Overall, the stroller isn't bad. Depending on what you are looking for in a stroller, this one may be a great fit for you. While there's plenty about this stroller that I don't like, I can certainly see myself using this one a lot in the future.

I spent WAY too much time
researching strollers when I was pregnant. I asked my friends what they
liked/hated/recommended, watched you-tube reviews, & read many amazon
reviews. I heard about the B-Agile from a pregnant friend, & was very happy
with it when I test-drove one at a store. Here's why I chose it:
1 - Lightweight, compact, & easy to fold/unfold. This is a great feature for me, but also for my mother-in-law who will be watching my son when I return to work. It fits in my Honda Civic Hybrid trunk (which is small) even with other things in the trunk.
2 - I do not want to own multiple strollers. This one should work until my baby is through with strollers.
3 - It is almost identical to the Baby Jogger City Mini. The three reasons I liked the Britax better: the click & go system, mesh view window instead of plastic, & the curved lower support bar. I am tall (5'8") & my husband is 6'5". The Citi Mini's bar is straight, so we both had an issue with kicking that bar when walking. The only thing I wish the Britax had that the CM does is an adjustable handle.
4 - One evening while pregnant, I was at a crowded Yogurtland. I saw a dad come in with his baby in a B-Agile stroller. He easily got around the cramped store, & when he left, he hip-checked the door to open it, easily steered the stroller through the door with one hand, & had his yogurt in the other hand. His hassle-free experience sold me on the B-Agile.
Now that I use the stroller, I love it. It makes getting around with baby easy. We walk around our hilly neighborhood, in town, & the usual places (mall, store). I bought a red one so that we would be extra-visible walking around. I'm glad I did, because a woman almost hit us in an intersection when she wasn't paying attention. Many reviewers complain about the lack of under-seat storage space. The basket does not hold alot, but it's fine for me. I bought two hooks & they hold what the storage basket won't. I also have the cup holder organizer & love it.
The hooks are great, because they rotate 360 degrees. I hook grocery handbaskets on them instead of putting the carseat in a grocery cart.The organizer fits the handlebar perfectly.
You may not like this stroller if:
-You plan on going on shopping sprees everyday & have to haul a million bags
-You like bulky strollers
-You like heavy strollers

Designed to be an on-the-go travel system using
the Britax click and go system, the B-Agile stroller accepts the Britax
Chaperone and B-Safe Infant Car Seats without having to purchase additional
adapters. The B-Agile is also compatible with other major manufacturer's infant
car seats when used with the Britax infant car seat adapter (sold separately.

BOB saved my son's life. Really.
By
bens mom "Bensmom"
I was out the other day and my son was asleep in his BOB. I
have loved my BOB since I bought it but now I have even more reason to!
I was loading my son in the car. I had it pulled
up alongside my car and was turned slightly putting my purse down so I could
lift him out and put him into his carseat. I heard a weird noise and looked
behind me.. the car next to mine was backing out and was crushing my stroller
between my car and hers. My son was asleep in it. I started screaming and she
stopped. I motioned for her to pull forward.
She felt terrible when she realized what had happened. She did not see me or my son when she looked she said. (My son I felt was in a safe spot out of the way of traffic btw, I am very safety concious.)
She had a Chevy cavalier. The bumper on her car crumpled/formed AROUND the steel frame on the BOB. The steel frame on the BOB saved my sons life. If he had been in a cheaper, less sturdy stroller he might have been crushed.
BTW my stroller is fine and my son slept through the whole thing. I am so thankful for the sturdy construction of this stroller. I realize this is a freak accident, but again, THANK YOU BOB! And God of course : )
It happened SO FAST!
Also:
I love the way it takes up less room in my trunk than our old Chicco stroller. I love the large shade on it that allows my son to sleep for hours in it while I shop. I love the recline, it's fabulous! I've had it for well over a year now with my 2.5 year old and wish I had known about it when I was originally buying a stroller.. would have totally done this instead of the Chicco stroller to accompany my Chicco Keyfit 30 carseat!
I purchased the BOB Warm Fuzzy and love it year round. It's cozy. And I bought the cupholder and love it as well. Purchased the weather bubble too- like it but a little complicated to put on in the pouring rain when getting out of the car- I get drenched : )
I also purchased the "travel bag"- the suitcase specifically for this stroller and we flew our BOB to Las Vegas with us on vacation. I just checked the stroller in that bag as a piece of luggage- it was GREAT. It protected the stroller so well. I was able to put all our diapers and other baby/kid? supplies in around the stroller.
I love the black color, the easy steering that pushes like a DREAM, the easy brake, the easy fold/unfold, the shocks, the easy wash fabric, the durable everything on it; I love running with it or just taking it to the mall.
I've had to air up the tires once in a year. It has held up amazingly to some abuse!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for jogging and off road use, but not my choice for everyday use,
By
My
grandchild is one year old and I bought this stroller for jogging and hiking on
dirt trails in our local parks. It does a superb job for each. However this is
not a stroller that I would buy for everyday use, especially if you live in the
suburbs rather than a big city, where people walk most places and don't need to
constantly take a stroller in and out of a car trunk. Let me describe the
stroller, which I bought at my local REI store since it came fully assembled
and because they have a lifetime return policy in case I run into any problems.
1. The construction is first rate, the fabric used is high quality, and it takes literally seconds to open and close, which is very simple. Just pull a red handle to lift the stroller into the open position. To close, just push two levers on the top forward and the stroller collapses (I disagree with the leading negative review that this is at all difficult). There is a wrist strap on the handle to be used when jogging that can be buckled to keep the stroller closed when it is folded. I NEVER use the wrist strap while jogging. I know that its purpose is to prevent the stroller from getting away from you if you lose your grip, but I think it is dangerous to use. If I tripped while jogging and had the wrist strap on, not only could I break my wrist from the force of the stroller with a child in it, but the odds are that I would flip the stroller too. If I felt myself going down I would rather just hold onto the handlebar and try to slow the stroller down. Just my opinion.
2. The stroller has two modes--walk (the front wheel swivels) and jog (the front wheel is locked into position and stays straight). There is a simple red knob on the front wheel that allows you to easily switch between the two positions, and it literally takes just two seconds to switch.
Note: If you are ONLY going to jog, and don't mind having the front wheel permanently locked, then you can buy a less expensive BOB stroller known as the Sport Utility model, on which the front wheel does not swivel at all. Yes you can turn the stroller with a locked front wheel--but you have to lift the front of the stroller to do so. I did not want to be so limited, especially hiking on trails, which is why I bought the Revoution SE instead.
3. This rides very smooth for jogging, and handles off road surface well when walking. The reason is that this is a very heavy stroller (24 pounds--I weighed it on my luggage scale, which makes it heavier than any of the other strollers that my grandchild has, which I discuss below) and has very large wheels--again larger than on her other strollers. Unlike other strollers, these wheels are inflatable just like bicycle tires. They need to be kept at 30psi for best performance. Of course jogging with a seriously under inflated wheel could be dangerous; ordinary walking would just be more difficult. You don't have to check tire pressure all the time, but ask yourself if you want to bother having to check it at all if you are considering this as an everyday stroller. You might not want to have to deal with an unexpected flat tire just when you need to use the stroller.
This takes up a lot of space in a trunk, and is heavy to put in and take out. Yes, each of the wheels has a quick release lever (just like bicycle wheels), so you can take them all off to save trunk space. This might make sense on a long trip, but I can tell you from experience that this is not something you would want to do on a regular basis, especially with a cranky young child or in inclement weather. Plus, using quick release wheels takes some getting used to. As the directions point out, if the "quick release lever does not leave a visible imprint in the palm of your hand" after you put the wheel back on, then you have not done it right.
4. I do agree with the leading negative review that there is no soft padding on the seat, though I disagree that the crotch strap is too short (it is adjustable) or that buckling your child in is any more difficult than on any other stroller. When the canopy is fully extended, there is a "window" on top that lets you see your child. There is also ample storage underneath. You can adjust the seat to a reclining position using two straps, though for jogging you need to keep it fully upright (the further back it is, the less stability you have).
However I would not use this as an everyday stroller. My grandchild (who lives in Manhattan) started out with the Bubaboo Cameleon stroller for local neighborhood walking (which I have reviewed on Amazon), and then at about nine months also started using the Maclaren Quest Sport stroller (which I have reviewed on Amazon) for traveling in cabs and subways, as well as day trips out of the city (like visiting me and my wife) since it is more light weight, easier to fold and close, and easier to carry with a carrying strap. And at my house she sometimes used the Graco Infant Car Seat stroller frame (which I have reviewed on Amazon).
I mention these different strollers because all of these provide more comfortable seating, and are lighter and more compact (except maybe the heavier and bulkier Bugaboo) than the Revolution SE, which for me is a special purpose stroller for jogging and off road use. Yes, it can be used as an everyday stroller, but its strength lies not in lots of comfortable padding or a light weight compact size when folded, but rather in great stability while jogging or walking off road.
For walking only the recommended age range is 8 weeks-8months; for jogging/off-road use it is 8 months-5 years. The stroller can accommodate a child up to 70 pounds.
5. This stroller comes with a very clear and well illustrated manual that explains everything. Among the advanced features is a simple form of wheel alignment in case the stroller does not roll in a straight line (which could occur after off road use, the same as when a car goes over lots of bumps), and a shock absorber setting.
Bottom line: This is a special use stroller that works great for jogging and off road use. For everyday use I would get something else whether you live in the city or the suburbs.
UpdateFebruary
23, 2012 : This past weekend I went jogging with my 13 month old
granddaughter in Manhattan Central Park ), I easily just pulled back on the handlebars to
lift the front wheel up and move it into the new position. Very easy to do and
no big deal.
UpdateJune
10, 2012 : The instruction manual contains the following warning in
bold letters: " Never jog with the stroller in walk mode. Doing so could
result in loss of control and serious injury." Nevertheless my daughter
and son-in-law went running with my granddaughter in Central Park in Manhattan

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for the trail, but some features
could be improved., February 7, 2013

I
try to buy items that come highly recommended. I don't mind spending money on
something that is needed to make life easier, if the product is of good
quality. People love their Bob strollers, so I was excited to order this one
and get back to hiking and walking on a trail near my house.
The wheels are perfect for the trail and give the baby a smooth ride. The stroller has actually allowed us to go places that we couldn't otherwise go, since my little girl is getting heavier and mor difficult to carry and can sometimes refuse to walk herself.
Some things that I wish we're better: 1) the basket is pretty small, so if you are going on a day hike or long walk, your diaper bag won't fit. Once you have water for you, the baby and the dog in there along with a couple of sweatshirts, your basket is full.
2) my daughter likes to be pretty upright if it isn't nap time. Even in the highest position, she is too reclined. She starts to complain after about a mile. I wish there was a recline mechanism like on the Uppababy Vista. This stroller has straps and buckles (like you would find on a backpack to increase and decrease the size of it) to recline. I may have to rig it somehow, which I don't really want to do.
3) and finally, my daughter is 18 months old and is just about too tall for the stroller. When the sun shade/canopy is closed, it is either in her face or rubbing her head. My daughter is quite tall for her age (in the 99th percentile), but according to the description, this stroller can be used up to age 4. My daughter will probably be too tall for it by the time she is two.
If these 3 (specifically #2 and #3)major issues were resolved, the stroller would be worth the money. If I only get 6 months of use out of it, because my daughter is tall for her age, I would be bummed.
As usual, great and speedy delivery from Amazon!

There is also an accessory that gives you the
facility to attach the BOB Infant Car Seat Adapter (sold separately) so you can
use the stroller with popular infant car seats.
Make
sure you purchase the correct adapter.

I
hope this review has been informative and worthwhile. Please look out for
further reviews in the coming days.
