Is this Britax stroller a good one?

I can not find reviews on it anywhere. I would be using it for my 5 month old niece.

For $20, why not? I didn't love it, it doesn't seem Britax to me.

search www.babybargains.com (the forums) or epinions.com?

I don't remember hearing good things about it, but at $20, why not? The cheaper it is, the more you're willing to take some inconvenience.

Its a Britax Preview. I have one... no complaints here. I wouldn't spend full price on it (again) but I'd definitely spend $20! The handles are higher than a standard umbrella stroller so you don't have to bend over to push it and it folds down very compactly. Right now in my trunk I have a fax machine, 10 gallons of water, a backless booster, 2 medium sized boxes (like office sized computer paper boxes) and the stroller still fits in my trunk! And it pushes pretty smoothly compared to larger strollers. Definitely worth $20 IMO.

Downsides to it, which you get with any umbrella stroller... no cupholders for adult or kid, and the basket underneath is pretty small and can be a pain to get to.

I bought it to use with my Companion carseat, and when I sold the Companion when DS was a few months old, I considered selling them together... but I decided to keep the stroller just because it's so darn convenient.

We have this stroller, and I like it.

It's definitely worth $20. I paid $90 for mine new, and sold it for $65 two years later. I got a ton of use out of it, and it held up really well. It does not steer as well as a Maclaren or similar stroller, especially with bigger kids, but it's a lot better than a cheapy umbrella stroller. It has a good recline and adjustable foot rest, and I liked the diaper bag that zips onto the back (which has a water bottle holder on it). The fabric holds up really well, and doesn't get stains or rips easily. Small, umbrella-style fold, and nice high handles.

Thanks you all.

I emailed the seller so we will see if they still have it.
