Many questions, britax b-ready or phil & teds Explorer/Verve

itr452 · May 24, 2012

Hello all, dad to be from Vancouver, BC and I'm just been doing research reading up on all the reviews of the 3 strollers above. Originally I was looking into the Quinny Buzz but we're hoping to have our kids about 2 years apart.

So theres another question, should I just get a Single stroller for now and just wait until we have another little one then get a double?

I've kind of narrowed it down to the Britax B-ready, the P&T's Verve or Explorer. Now another thing is I would want a lighter weight travel stroller as well or would that not be a good idea? I was looking at getting the Britax B-agile or a Quinny Zapp. I will be travelling quite often with the baby next year making family visit thats why the need for the second stroller. Otherwise any other recommendations?

I also want to take into consideration the car seat..I really dont feel like getting 2 car seats so If i were to ge the Britax..i'd get the corresponding stroller, or the Quinny and P&T's with a maxi cosi adapter.

Theres so much to learn and I thank this forum for helping in my research!

If you get a britax seat, it will work with any of the strollers (even the b-nimble umbrella stroller). The b-agile is a lot like the city mini. I love our b-ready.

If i were you, i would just get a single stroller now. You don't know when the 2nd one will arrive and when it does, who knows what cool strollers will be out there. Plus, you will be in a better position to assess what you will need in a double stroller.

As for single strollers, there are a lot of variables. I have the b-agile and its a great stroller. It has a great recline, very easy one handed fold, good size canopy, and pretty good manueverability. It is easy for traveling. I recently flew by myself with my 2 kids (4 yr and 1 yr) and the one handed fold comes in handy when trying to get through security and gate.

I dont know much about the britax b-safe or chaperone (as we used chicco keyfit), but i am sure they are great carseats. The convertible carseats are cery nice and generally easy to install.

Good luck with your decision.

b-ready over the phil and teds hands down, i just got rid of my explorer and will never go back

I have a b-ready right now and i love it (the new version) my only issue with it is the back tires are really wide set compared to my baby jogger city select. and the city select is my favorite for a double

I didn't like the Quinny for travel cause of the two step fold. I'd get the b-agile.

Thanks for all your replies! Looks like the britax strollers it is!

NOw in regards to car seats, b-safe or chaperone? Noobie question but can I use a boulevard when theyr'e older with the strollers?

With the b-safe you will have to retread the harness straps as they grow. On the chaperone it is no retread. The b-safe doesn't have the head wings or the anti rebound bar on the base. If you don't have a ton of room in your vehicle.. you should probably go with the b-safe.

You cannot use a convertible seat (boulevard, etc) with the stroller.

Many questions, britax b-ready or phil & teds Explorer/Verve
