Both strollers have comparable weight and width, neither one has a carry handle, and both have similar folds. (The best fold, imo, is on the City Mini/City Select strollers.) The Vista comes with a few more accessories (although I was not interested in the bassinet), but the B-Ready has better options (like a recline on the second seat) and configurations as a double stroller. In the end, the Free Ride event and the possibility of a second child close in age to our first put the B-Ready just ahead of the Vista. </p> <p>After all of this back-and-forth before making a decision, I will be curious to see just how much I actually use the darn thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-britax-b-ready-stroller#post-232817 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 16:18:58 +0000 mrs. bird 232817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: I guess I didn't explain my question very well. I think pictures are the only way I can explain it... Yay for pics in HB! So there is the britax pic with the footrest nice &amp; compact over the folded stroller seat, then there's mine with it all the way up, and then straight out, but I can't get it past the straight position to fold like the britax pic. If I unsnap the fabric I can, but that's silly. What am I doing wrong? :( </p> [attach=2301/12/m7op1r.200x199.image.jpeg] [attach=2301/12/m7op1s.450x600.image_1.jpeg] [attach=2301/12/m7op1u.450x600.image_2.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-britax-b-ready-stroller#post-232520 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:27:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 232520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: Aww man, that stinks. To be honest though, we have NEVER used our rain cover (just used a blanket if needed). I do use my organizer a lot though to hold cell phone, keys, and wallet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-britax-b-ready-stroller#post-232515 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:25:29 +0000 T.H.O.U. 232515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I'm not sure what you mean. The foot rest doesn't really go into the fold. I do find that if I have ANYTHING in the basket part of the stroller, I have to take that out in order to get a good compact fold. </p> <p>I stand at the handle bar and pull the sides up towards me. I kinda lean the handle on my stomach and pick up the bottom half of the stroller until it locks into place. Then I lay it into my SUV. It takes two hands but the stroller never has to touch the ground which I appreciate. </p> <p>This has a good video of the stroller folding around the 5:45 mark, but again, I fold it while holding it parallel to the ground so the handle doesn't touch the ground. </p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfG2IfKyKtc" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfG2IfKyKtc</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-britax-b-ready-stroller#post-232514 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:23:58 +0000 mrs. bird 232514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: they took away the organizer &amp; rain cover for 2012 =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-britax-b-ready-stroller#post-232504 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:18:47 +0000 T.H.O.U. 232504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: Also to add, it doesn't come with those things mentioned but it does come with a rain cover, the cup holder, mud flaps for tires, bumper bar all which I believe are extra for the UBV </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-britax-b-ready-stroller#post-232502 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:17:59 +0000 mrs. bird 232502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: do you find it hard to get the foot rest to fold all the way like they show in the picture? I feel like the fabric it too tight for me to get it to do this :/ maybe I need to go fuss with it some more. </p> [attach=2301/12/m7og8j.200x199.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-britax-b-ready-stroller#post-232501 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:17:19 +0000 T.H.O.U. 232501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: I agree, if you are thinking about it, I would go ahead and order from Amazon now. $400 for a stroller and infant car seat is a great price and that sale doesn't happen often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-britax-b-ready-stroller#post-232493 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:13:41 +0000 mrs. bird 232493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: so jealous of your cowmooflage chaperone! i want one of those once we have a LO, it's adorable (and super safe of course, lol)! </p> <p>i got a b-ready for work (don't have my own LO yet, but i'm a nanny, so i use baby gear all day), i could sell it if i decide i don't like it, or i can keep it for once i need one. i've only used it for 2 days, but i think i'll end up keeping it for myself. it's super versatile! i think as long as you are comfortable with the size, there's really no major flaws to it, just some little nit picky things- no carry handle anywhere on the side , which on a 26lb stroller would be helpful, not the easiest to fold stroller, the recline isn't completely flat, but i think it's perfectly fine and there's always the option of getting the bassinet if you really wanted LO to have the option of laying flat &amp; stretching out, should come with a snack tray &amp; a cup holder that doesn't suck, but again you can add these (yes, it does come with a cup holder, but i'd like one that doesn't stick out &amp; get knocked around/off). </p> <p>i live within easy driving distance of the factory store for uppa &amp; for the same $$ as the britax could have gotten a refurb vista, but for me, the britax had more features that i was looking for so it was a better choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-britax-b-ready-stroller#post-232488 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:12:14 +0000 T.H.O.U. 232488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my B-Ready! I wrote a review about it on my blog (link on my profile). </p> <p>I'm hoping to do a post baby review but not much has changed, we still love it! I do have to say that the stroller does fold with the seat facing the parents, its just not a compact fold. Also, the new 2012 seats do go completely upright. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-britax-b-ready-stroller#post-232446 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 12:50:55 +0000 MsLipGloss 232446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just received my B-Ready, so I haven't used it yet. Although it was a really close call between the Uppababy Vista and the B-Ready, I ultimately chose the B-Ready. I received the B-Ready (in Twilight) and the Chaperone car seat (in Cowmooflage!) yesterday. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-britax-b-ready-stroller#post-232277 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 11:32:44 +0000 Rescuemom10 232277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is coming in the mail as we speak! If you order on Amazon before next Tuesday (31st) you can get the seocnd seat or Car seat for free. I got it for some of the same reasons you said. I have heard others on here had/have it and love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-the-britax-b-ready-stroller#post-232255 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 11:19:39 +0000 septca 232255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am just starting to look at baby gear and trying not to get totally overwhelmed... Going off advice I read on Lucie's List, I have decided to get a stroller that can be adapted with a doubles kit (LL advises this if you plan to have kids close together, which is both desired and a medical necessity for me) and that has a "snap and go" feature for a car seat. After looking at a million options, I think I like the Britax B-Ready the best - it has a ton of adaptation options, is really streamlined-looking, seems to be good for cities, and is highly reviewed without costing as much as a college education.</p> <p>So... anyone have one? Do you love it? Hate it? Wish you had gotten something else? </p>
