I haven't had a chance to actually use it, but I've played with it a lot (and the B-Agile in store) and while it is heavier, I love how spacious it is in the bottom as well as the pivoting handle. I'm 5'1" and DH is 6'2" so this will definitely come in handy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-1197721 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 16:01:45 +0000 septca 1197721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another B-Ready lover here. I cannot say enough good things about this stroller. We bought the B-Ready knowing that we wanted to have two kids close together and we live in a city so I use my stroller A LOT. Only one babe so far, but my favorite things about the B-Ready (versus the B-Agile) are:<br /> (1) you can have the child face you in the regular stroller seat. In the B-Agile, they can only face you in the car seat.<br /> (2) the seat comes off really easily and a Britax car seat snaps in, so you don't have to have the stroller seat *and* the car seat on the stroller when your baby is small (in the B-Agile, the car seat snaps on over the regular stroller seat).<br /> (3) the storage basket is HUGE. I regularly use my stroller to go grocery shopping and can fit a whole week's worth of groceries in the basket.<br /> (4) the pivoting handle is nice for walks when my (tall) husband and I switch off "driving" - it takes about 2 seconds to switch heights.</p> <p>All of that said, it's not a *perfect* stroller. It is very heavy, especially with the seat attached (I usually store it with the seat separate, so that makes it much lighter). It is also fairly wide. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-1197658 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 15:28:41 +0000 Emsmems 1197658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: thanks! I'm thinking the 10 lb difference is a lot, I think I'll stick with the b-agile, although I may take the hour trip to buy buy baby to be sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-1197654 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 15:27:25 +0000 Emsmems 1197654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fussygal: I know the one earlier this year was the whole month, I don't know about this one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-1197629 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 15:20:33 +0000 fussygal 1197629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone know how long the Free Ride vent usually lasts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-1197177 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 12:39:52 +0000 ladybee 1197177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Emsmems: I ended up with the b-agile but haven't used it yet so I'm not sure if the basket is a big deal. I knew I wouldn't be able to lift the b-ready! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-1197081 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 12:00:38 +0000 Emsmems 1197081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: what did you end up getting? I am in this predicament now with the free ride event going on. $50 more to get a b-ready and b-safe over the b-agile and b-safe! I'm leaning toward the b-agile just because of weight/size, but I hear the basket is such a huge downside on the b-agile! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-784907 Thu, 16 May 2013 06:49:44 +0000 T.H.O.U. 784907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, the other big feature that the B-Ready has is that the child seat can face the parent. Since we didn't get the bassinet and used the stroller very early on I loved this feature. </p> <p>The B-Ready also has an extra 1.5" in the seat height. We loved it because our daughter is big and she still fits up under the sun shade comfortable. </p> <p>Lastly, we are really tall and we love that the handle adjusts up and down for us. I dont' think the bagile as this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-784898 Thu, 16 May 2013 06:44:58 +0000 mediagirl 784898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with the consensus that if you are having more than 1, the B-Ready may be the way to go. The B-Agile is perfect for my family with one child and the one handed close and open of the stroller is fantastic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-784872 Thu, 16 May 2013 06:21:47 +0000 chrispygal 784872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurpleUnicorn: I agree that the Agile was awesome for travel! We took ours to Disney and I could hold my daughter in one arm, and fold and carry the stroller with the free hand. I also have an UBV and I love that for mall trips or zoo trips, but the B-Agile is a great stroller and I think this will be our go-to for years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-784548 Wed, 15 May 2013 21:55:14 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 784548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have the agile and chose it because it was cheaper and seemed to have everything i wanted. and i really think it's a great stroller. except i hate the tiny storage basket. like so much that i am planning to get the b ready during the free ride event! i think i will use the b ready much more especially in the summer, and we do plan on having a second LO one day, so i will take the second seat as my freebie. but i will keep the agile since its good for travel (we took it on the plane recently for vacation) and other smaller uses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-784461 Wed, 15 May 2013 20:56:11 +0000 MsLipGloss 784461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my B-Ready - everything is super easy to use and adjust. . . I bought it just in case we decide to have a second. I also love that the carseat (Chaperone) snaps right in to the frame. Even though it is a two-hand fold, it is super easy to do. </p> <p>If I knew (for sure for sure) I was only going to have one baby, I would have gone with the UPV or the City Mini. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-784420 Wed, 15 May 2013 20:38:46 +0000 ladybee 784420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: the difference is about 10 pounds </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-784414 Wed, 15 May 2013 20:36:34 +0000 pinkb 784414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our B-Ready. I got it because if its versatility and got it during the free ride event. I think it is a bit heavy but I have no problem lifting it. I think it makes me like it more cause I think it feels very sturdy and safe. I love the storage on it and it handles great. I was nervous cause I couldn't see it in person before I bought it, but it was my best baby purchase. We ran into a friend of DH and they had the B-Agile and it seemed small to me when it was right next to ours. And I just received my free Boulevard :) Nothing beats free for me ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-784409 Wed, 15 May 2013 20:33:43 +0000 rawrasaur 784409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The b-agile is so much lighter. I was really tempted by the last free ride event to get the b-ready, but it was too heavy for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-784392 Wed, 15 May 2013 20:26:35 +0000 T.H.O.U. 784392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the bigger size of te b ready. What exactly is the weight difference? I mean I lift mine fine into the back of my car but its not like I have to carry it up a flight of stairs. The extra weight is worth the extra features for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-784367 Wed, 15 May 2013 20:11:36 +0000 Weagle 784367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Knowing I wanted a second while LO was still stroller aged is actually why I went with the B-Agile. I knew that I probably would want to have a lighter single stroller even after we have 2+ kids. I knew I'd probably want to spend more on a more heavy duty double later on. And I knew that spending money on the bigger B-Ready now would be silly because I would find something I like better by the time #2 comes along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-784343 Wed, 15 May 2013 19:58:34 +0000 MamaBehr 784343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you plan on having more than one kid I would go with the b-ready. I love love love ours! It is a great double stroller and has so many other options for seating. I never looked at the b-agile, because at the time I was looking for a double, but I wish we had gotten the b-ready the first time around. It also has the BEST under carriage storage EVER! It can fit sooo much stuff under there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-784278 Wed, 15 May 2013 19:26:56 +0000 chrispygal 784278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I chose the B-Agile because it was much lighter and easy to fold. I can do this one handed with the B-Agile and no way can I do that with the B-Ready. The B-Ready is pretty awesome though so if the larger size works for you, go for it. You can't go wrong with either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-784257 Wed, 15 May 2013 19:17:55 +0000 sunny 784257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked the B-Agile because it was lighter. However... I ended up doing something kind of crazy and buying the B-Ready during the Free Ride Event and then selling it afterwards on Craig's List. I am planning to submit the UPC with the Registry Rewards and get a free convertible carseat later on!</p> <p>I priced it out and even selling at a slight loss, I come out ahead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-784256 Wed, 15 May 2013 19:17:54 +0000 duckduckkristen 784256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have both in black. We bought the b-agile when I was pregnant with DS, and then the b-ready a few months after he was born because of the free ride event, registry rewards, and we knew we wanted a second LO. The b-ready is a lot wider so right now I just use it as my walking stroller, but when this LO is born in September it will most likely be my main stroller. </p> <p>I like both strollers, but the b-ready is a lot more versatile and if you plan on having two LOs I would definitely get it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/b-agile-vs-b-ready#post-784242 Wed, 15 May 2013 19:08:17 +0000 ladybee 784242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With the free ride event it wouldn't cost much more to get the B-Ready but I'm torn. I like the colors better of the B-Ready but the weight makes me nervous. </p> <p>Why did you pick the stroller you did and not the other? </p>
