A stroller for a curious baby, with enough space to sleep comfortably. The Britax B-Motion 4 Plus?

15 Apr 2020

Hiya,

I am going to change my stroller system for something more spacious. My robust pram makes me happy in most ways - it's lightweight, with an extendable hood, ok to fold, and takes up an average amount of space - like anything similar, I'd say. My DS is 7mo, and he's not cramped in it, but I think it's not the perfect setup if I take into account that the summer is coming, and I want him to be able to move around a little when it's hot outside. He also wants to see everything around him when he's up - AND I own a dog, so we are outside often. I want a stroller that is at least as good as the pram I have at the moment (it's a CAM), but that will be more spacious at the same time.

I accepted the fact that it won't, therefore, be reversible - and my son doesn't mind to be forward-facing anyway. I am considering the Britax B-Motion 4 Plus or the Britax B-Agile 4 Plus. I know that the seat in those is not very upright in the fully sitting position, but my little one sits by himself, so I think it should not be a big problem - the main factor I am weighing is the sleeping surface and position. Also, the stroller should be able to tackle some terrain - because of our dog. The price shouldn't be much more than that of a Britax I mentioned. Is it, in your opinion, a good choice (and which one), or is there something better around this price range that you would recommend?

Thank you so much in advance for any advice 🙂

Hello there!

The Britax B-Agile 4 Plus, based on the fact that it is not suitable for any terrain use at all, is in my opinion not to be considered in this case. The Britax B-Motion 4 Plus is much better off terrain-wise as well as seat-space-wise. There, I don't really have much to reproach, seeing you already took the known disadvantages of this model in your consideration. In this price range, I don't really see anything else that would be better, mainly if I look at the space in the seat of the Britax BM4Plus, that is one of your priorities.

If I were to look at anything else, I would go one level higher and only recommended a more expensive, but also so much more functional Baby Jogger City Elite three-wheeler (or you could get it cheaper pre-loved).

Your -very berry- Eli.

Now, this is your place to ask. I'm listening.
