Hi!
What is your opinion on the Britax B-Motion 4 Plus, please?

Hello!

The almost all-terrain Britax B-Motion 4 Plus is a popular stroller with a quick fold. Even though being considered a part of the lightweight, rather compact-folding stroller category like similarly designed ones, it oís not that lightweight nor that compact, making it more able to handle worse terrain conditions. Advantages there being the large-ish wheels with no-maintenance tires and suspension, and a very nice total length of the seat (1 m). Disadvantages-wise, the higher weight and the not-so-compact fold I have mentioned before. To add to it, it is important to know the seat is quite reclined even in the upright position, which is one of the most minded things about the B-Agile and B-Motion lines. Moms have found a way to rectify this problem - adding a strap to the backrest. It is also fair to say that the center of gravity has mixed reviews. You may find the overall manipulation difficult and lifting the stroller over a curb challenging. Therefore, I do recommend testing a (loaded) B-Motion stroller before purchasing it. There are two extremes possible - you may love the hybridness of the B-Motion, and it will serve you well, or, on the other side of the spectrum, it will be quite a cumbersome thing to use every day if it doesn’t suit you. Have a practice run - get the stroller over a curb (at least as-if, in the shop) or into a car (fold and pick it up) to check how you can cope with its weight. If you are up for it and your baby seems to deal with the reclined kind of sitting, nothing is stopping you. Many mothers have found a real life-saver in the B-Motion, mainly because of the spacious seat.

I think the three-wheeled B-Motion 3 Plus version is more all-terrain and more comfortable to maneuver, but three-wheelers are not everybody’s cup of tea, so I'd think about that one more I'd say, of course if you don't mind the three wheels.

Your -very berry- Eli.

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