I feel like just those few extra inches would make LO#2 more comfy sitting on the bottom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-stroller-with-second-seat#post-1231171 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 21:35:29 +0000 MsLipGloss 1231171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Stroller triplets! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-stroller-with-second-seat#post-1231170 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 21:35:13 +0000 MsLipGloss 1231170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: We also have the black frame and love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-stroller-with-second-seat#post-1231033 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 20:25:10 +0000 prettylizy 1231033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: were stroller twins!

Too bad you can't get the black frame (it shows fewer scratches than the silver) with colored seats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-stroller-with-second-seat#post-1213894 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 14:51:31 +0000 HLK208 1213894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: that's what I've heard, the City Select is just really long with the second seat.</p> <p>I love the UV but it does seem flimsy. Totally agree on the double being an after thought.</p> <p>Okay, Britax it is :) Twilight or Silver??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-stroller-with-second-seat#post-1213788 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 14:26:04 +0000 septca 1213788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: MamaBehr makes a good point about the City Select.</p> <p>When we were stroller shopping (again, knowing it would get a ton of use and knowing we hoped for 2u2), we looked at four strollers: The UB Vista, the City Select, the Phil and Ted's, and the B Ready.</p> <p>The P&amp;T's wasn't really an option because the doubles package sucks - it seems like an afterthought.</p> <p>I really liked the *idea* of the UBV, but in the end, we dropped it for the same reason as the P&amp;T's - the UBV is really made to be a fancy single stroller; the second "jump" seat is an afterthought. Plus, I hated that it could only go in one - in my opinion, awkward - position on the front of the stroller, and it seemed really flimsy.</p> <p>The City Select was our second choice. It has a lot of the same awesome aspects of the B Ready and people I know seem to love it. But, for us, it just seemed HUGE with two seats. If we were having twins, I would have absolutely gone for the City Select, but for two kids close in age, I think the B Ready is the right choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-stroller-with-second-seat#post-1213718 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 14:09:24 +0000 HLK208 1213718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: your post made me super excited for this stroller lol.</p> <p>anyone else? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-stroller-with-second-seat#post-1212475 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 23:08:56 +0000 googly-eyes 1212475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following! We want it for #2 if dd will still sit in a stroller by then... but also saw the city jogger select this weekend and thought that looked like a good option. Not sure what we'll do, the way we're planning it dd will be a little under 2.5 when we have lo2, and she's already pretty anti-stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-stroller-with-second-seat#post-1212276 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:11:58 +0000 MamaBehr 1212276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: If you are spending that kind of money on a stroller for baby 3, you might want to look into the City Jogger Select. I wish we had this one (I am expecting number 3 as well) because the City Jogger Select can have two kids seated and one on the glidder board (it is front/back instead of side by side). You can't do that with the b-ready. My husband won't let me buy this stroller, so I'm going to have to make it work with the b-ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-stroller-with-second-seat#post-1212264 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:03:58 +0000 septca 1212264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super smooth and much easier to maneuver than a side by side. </p> <p>You pretty much have to put the younger child on the bottom, in my opinion. The reason we bought the B Ready instead of a different double conversion stroller is that it was the only one that could put the baby on the bottom. The second seat is good from birth, but the second seat also comes with the converter set to put an infant bucket seat on the bottom (facing you). This is my plan once we have #2.</p> <p>For now, we've been using our B Ready as a single (awesome!!!) or as a double with the second seat for our nanny share (so it's just like using the stroller for twins). Because both babies are babies, getting in and out of the second seat isn't an issue. </p> <p>I seriously LOVE this stroller - I can't say enough good things about it. We bought it planning/hoping to have 2u2, so always planned to use it as a double. We live in a city, so it gets a lot of use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-stroller-with-second-seat#post-1212261 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:02:46 +0000 HLK208 1212261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: is the city mini smooth? I think mine was the GT side by side. Wasn't crazy about it :-/</p> <p>Baby number 3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-stroller-with-second-seat#post-1212233 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 20:48:16 +0000 Anagram 1212233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the B ready, but only with one seat (for now). We did buy it with a future second seat in mine though. I think it's a super smooth ride and turns on a dime for a stroller with such wide wheels. Love the roomy basket, too.</p> <p>Sorry I can't comment more on the second seat factor! I do like how you can put the infant seat either below or on top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-stroller-with-second-seat#post-1212229 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 20:46:41 +0000 MamaBehr 1212229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: It is smooth and super easy to maneuver, though you can't take the longest strides in the world. I wouldn't say it is as smooth as the BOB, but it is pretty good. In terms of getting in and out of the second seat, I think it kind of sucks. DD is 3.5 years old and I really struggle to get her in and out of it. But, if you put the older child up and the younger one in the infant carrier on the bottom it is AWESOME! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-stroller-with-second-seat#post-1212221 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 20:41:23 +0000 matador84 1212221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you pg with your 2nd or 3rd? I can't decide what kind of stroller I want! Many say the b-ready is great, and I did like the test drive at BBB. Can't decide if I like it better or equal to city mini double. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-stroller-with-second-seat#post-1212203 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 20:33:28 +0000 HLK208 1212203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it smooth? Easy to maneuver? I'm use to how smooth my BOB is and so is DH. We had a city mini double and DH hated how rough it felt. </p> <p>What about the attachment seat, is it easy for LO to get out? Do they like it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-owners-terrain-question#post-1133976 Sun, 06 Oct 2013 00:33:21 +0000 citymouse 1133976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This makes me feel so much better!!

We did end up buying a bike trailer/jogging stroller for anything more rugged recently though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-owners-terrain-question#post-1133670 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 17:34:20 +0000 pinkb 1133670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took ours to a fair and it worked on all the different terrains (dirt, grass, mulch) we have also used it at a farm in the fields, barn, paths, dirt, etc. No problems so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-owners-terrain-question#post-1133666 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 17:29:25 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 1133666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took it to our fair today and it was great. I pulled it through hay, mud, muddy grass and sawdust and it never missed a beat. </p> <p>I find it only gets stuck in taller grass (2 inches and above) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-owners-terrain-question#post-1132320 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 14:13:08 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1132320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I agree. I have never really gotten it "stuck" like a smaller wheeled stroller would but I have definitely gone over stuff that was bumpier for her then I would have wanted to when she was young. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-owners-terrain-question#post-1132318 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 14:11:28 +0000 MamaBehr 1132318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it does well on all sorts of terrains. It has pretty big wheels and I have never had an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-owners-terrain-question#post-1132313 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 14:09:32 +0000 mrs. bird 1132313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used it on grass &amp; dirt paths, it was fine. I did try one path that I regretted, there were a lot of roots/rocks uneven ground, I don't think any stroller would have been smooth over it! I think overall it is a smoother ride than either the instep or schwinn joggers I've used (obviously the b ready isn't for jogging, I'm just making a comparison between it and moderately priced joggers over dirt/grass). I &lt;3 the b ready! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-owners-terrain-question#post-1132292 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 13:56:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1132292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would totally think my B-Ready would be fine for a state fair. </p> <p>Now, I may not use it with a tiny infant but I don't think there are many strollers that would eliminate the bumps completely for an infant. </p> <p>We took ours to the beach and pulled it through soft powder sand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/britax-b-ready-owners-terrain-question#post-1132219 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 13:29:34 +0000 citymouse 1132219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What would you say is the roughest terrain the B-Ready can handle well? Dirt paths? Some rocks, dirt path? Bumpy grass? Gravel mixed with dirt? Mulch nuggets?</p> <p>We went to the State Fair last night and it made me second guess myself as to the durability of the B-Ready. I really like it because of the parent facing option, and its our top choice, but now Im wondering if we need something with bigger, more rugged wheels? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-with-the-britax-b-ready#post-954669 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 22:05:14 +0000 runsyellowlites 954669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChelseaRose: ftw </p>
