You need to be a newscaster! Love your voice!

[@kimmisun]

You’re too kind, thank you! And fun fact: I actually was a news reporter for about 10 years! I left that job to stay home and raise my kiddos :)

[@burtbach123]

So nice to have a long-term review of this system!! Thank you!

[@kimmisun]

You’re so welcome :) I’m glad you found it helpful!

[@mimiseeyou]

Awww and you’re so pretty! Thanks for mentioning the weight capacity, as I’m shopping for a 2 year old. I used your link to add the organizer to my Amazon cart 🥰

[@sigomy333]

Thanks so much for your thorough review! I've been looking into Britax strollers and love your review.. and especially love the fact that you've had it for a long time as well. I also appreciate you including links to your suggestions and products you use! I love when youtubers do this, it is so helpful! New subscriber here! 😉

[@katiescott4148]

Thanks for your kind note! I'm so glad it helped!

[@amandareyes8962]

I love that you reviewed the stroller after using it for so long. I just bought this stroller and seeing how long yours has lasted and that you still love it has just reinforced the fact that I made the right choice!

[@katiescott4148]

I hope you love it as much as we do!!! :)

[@alexaberenice2702]

I got this travel system for my first baby! Thank you for reviewing the stroller so well, I’m so excited to use.

[@katiescott4148]

Congratulations! I hope you and your baby love it!

[@katiecooper8716]

I have this stroller system as well and love it! I feel like it’s the dark horse of the pack and all of the features mentioned here make it well worth the price while still being well under some of the more “aspirational” models. Save your money and get this one!

[@katiescott4148]

Couldn’t agree more!!

[@davidboeger6766]

Awesome video. We're shopping for our first and there's definitely uneven coverage of strollers and brands on a lot of channels. For all the love the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 gets, this is a very similar model which stands when folded, and it doesn't get nearly as much love.

[@katiescott4148]

Agreed! I'm glad you found the video helpful.

[@emilyreiter8556]

I've been using this stroller for two years too, I absolutely love it. You can use those key/phone pockets as cupholders! That's where my coffee lives.

[@katiescott4148]

So. Many. Pockets. You can leave the diaper bag at home!

[@JennaQuinter]

Great job!! Thanks girly

[@luthiengs]

Hi Katie! Thanks for your review! I'm due in December with my first child and have been doing a ton of research on baby gear...this is the first review that isn't pushing trendy, super-expensive strollers that just don't seem practical or affordable for someone not on an influencer's budget. Based in large part because of your review (and some others I watched) we just bought this stroller in Frost (saved a bunch since I guess it's a discontinued color) and am looking forward to using it!

[@katiescott4148]

Congratulations!! I’m so glad you found the review helpful. I hope your family loves it as much as mine does. Best of luck!!

Just bought this strolleron Oct 20th, 2023. It was quiet at first, but after 3 uses, front wheel rattles like crazy, and will wake up my grandaughter when she is sleeping. This is a knowm Britax issue, and it seems they dont have an answer for. I just conracted Britax customer service, and they want me to send a video of the rattling , along with some other info, and then they will respond accordingly. This was purchased on Amazon. I should have read the negative reviews, instead of just the positive reviews. Buyer beware!

[@klynn_nonya7]

We were going to get this but we decided on the Babyjogger GT2 instead but this was one we did consider

[@gillianmolina4388]

Great review video! Really appreciate it. I'm thinking about the new ultra britax b free but keep seeing moms mention uppababy... But the price point of britax is so much better!

[@kimmisun]

The uppababy is a definite favorite but I just couldn’t justify the price 😬I know a few mom friends who love the vista because it converts to a double stroller. But I also know a lot of other moms who started out with the uppababy and then bought another umbrella or more compact stroller once baby is a little older. The uppababy isn’t the lightest or easiest thing to throw in the trunk or travel with. The only thing that I thought I would miss with the uppababy was the bassinet insert for when babe is a newborn. We lived in a very walkable Chicago neighborhood, and I thought I would need it. But my daughter did great with the car seat attachment with the Britax for those early walks. And she would’ve been too big for the bassinet after a few months anyways. Go with your gut!!! You know what will work for you and your family best. Good luck! 🤗

[@rachelstacy721]

I’m considering this stroller with the price point but the basket is much smaller but it’s light compared to the other strollers on the market

[@unionprimal9421]

Thank you! Very helpful.

[@katiescott4148]

I'm so glad!

[@unionprimal9421]

@@katiescott4148 We went ahead and bought it! Can’t wait to use it. We can’t stop playing with it, practising with it 😝

[@kimmisun]

@@unionprimal9421 that’s awesome! I practiced using it a lot too before the baby arrived :) Hope you like it as much as we do!

[@scottmoreau5630]

I like this stroller, but the front wheel could be a lot better. It swivels well but it’s far too loose. I feel like every time we hit the slightest bump, the wheel sounds like it wants to pop off.

[@ca229504]

Thank you so much for this review! We've been going back and forth between Britax and City Mini gt, reviews are better for the GT but we prefer the amenities of the Britax. it's nice to know you don't regret your purchase. What diaper bag are you using by the way?

[@kimmisun]

We almost went with the City Mini too! But we liked the storage with the Britax better. I’m using the Petunia Pickle Bottom Axis backpack right now!

[@simonemcbride4971]

Thank you so much for this, I’ve been going back and forth on which travel system would be the best value for my family, your review gives me more confidence in our purchase. What would you recommend for bottles or feeding?

[@kimmisun]

Simone, I don’t know how I missed this message. Sorry for the late reply! I’m so glad you found this review helpful. As for bottles, my daughter had bad reflux, so we used the Dr. Browns bottles. There are so many parts to wash 🤦🏻‍♀️but she did very well with these.

[@cesararturomoncadamacedo4410]

Hi! I have recently bought one of them and I would like to know how to storage folded in home: Is it better (and safe) to turn the maneuver up and then stand it over it?? )As you shown in 3:13 min) I mean, that part of the stroller Is strong enough to carry out the hole stroller? Thanks in advance!!

[@mariaperalta2691]

How do you adjust the shoulder straps to accommodate a bigger ?

[@lauraspence5053]

Thanks for such a great review! Do you find that the black fabric gets really hot in the sun?

[@katiescott4148]

Hi! That hasn’t been my experience at all. In fact, the canopy keep things rather cool and shady!

[@britberg11]

How do you take the cushion off to wash it?

[@anasmith5408]

How long are the harness straps? My almost 4 year old is a chubby 44 pound. I want to buy the stroller, worried I’m not going to be able to buckle her.

[@rajeevjagasia]

Hi, Thanks for the video. Does the infant car seat attach on the stroller in only rear position?

[@katiescott4148]

Yes, but in my opinion that is the preferable direction, as you'll want them to be facing you while pushing the stroller.

[@maosorio88]

Do you find that the most upright position is kind of reclined? Thanks!

[@katiescott4148]

It is more reclined than a few other strollers I’ve tried (BabyJogger, Uppababy, Graco), but my daughter doesn’t seem to mind it. If she wants to sit more upright, she can since you can slightly loosen the harness and still keep it snug enough to keep her safe. Hope that makes sense!

[@mariapaulatoro8086]

I love the stroller but HATE the carseat (bsafe 35), baby didnt fit at 3 months old it was tooooo narrow mygod it’s a pain taking my baby out! Also my baby is sit upright and she can’t lay down like others carseats where babies are comfy… I regret so much buying this travel system because i have to buy another carseat but nothing matches with the b-agile stroller so I have to buy ANOTHER travel system… (canadian review)

[@enaangeles9125]

Does the front wheel make any noise? I have the same stroller and I always hear a clunk when going over any uneven pavement, or any little bump. Sounds like two pieces of plastic hitting together. Is this normal? Do you have that issue?

[@katiescott4148]

Hi! So sorry for the delayed response. I didn’t seem to have an issue with the front wheel making excessive noise. Hope that helps!

[@jennhong132]

I live is California and i still haven’t seen this stroller being used. I was hesitant to buy it because of people complaining about the front wheel shaking. Any issues with the wheels for you?

[@kimmisun]

None at all! Have you experienced any issues with it?

[@jennhong132]

@@kimmisun i haven’t bought it yet. This was an awesome review. Thank you!

[@katiecooper8716]

I also don’t have any wheel shaking issues. I wonder if people were taking it over rough terrain when that happened? The front wheel can be locked in place for added stability if needed which would solve the problem in that situation.

[@ssilk3082]

Is the foot rest adustable?

[@katiescott4148]

The foot rest is not adjustable

[@katiemikelh1216]

Is this the B-Free premium or just the B-free non premium version?

[@katiescott4148]

The B-Free non premium version!

[@katiemikelh1216]

@@katiescott4148 Thanks for the quick reply! I really want to purchase this stroller but am torn between the premium or non premium version- Have you tried out the premium since purchasing this version or have any opinions on what version you would choose now if you were to purchase again today?

[@katiescott4148]

@@katiemikelh1216 I haven’t tried out the premium, sorry! What I will say - I’ve since had a second baby (10mo) and we got a double stroller off Facebook. Whenever we go out with just one kid, we always grab the B-Free. It’s just so much lighter, easier and more convenient than the double. We keep saying we should sell the Britax, but we can’t part with it just yet! I’m sure you can’t go wrong either way. Good luck!!
