Hellobee Boards

That's great! Do you know if the B-Ready on Amazon now is the 2012 version with the new wheels?

@mrs. bird: ah! thanks... I was just about to go see if I could find out! Now I'm wondering if it's worth the cost difference because I would've loved a free second seat. Hmmm...

i wonder if you can combine it with the free boulevard 70 reward for having 5 britax items.... that could make for a sweeeeeet deal for someone!

This is what we are getting to carry both DD & our little baby on the way! Such an awesome deal!!

I read on another board that you can use the free ride in conjunction with the free convertible registry reward offer because the registry reward program is a reward program for not purchasing or registering for an item in each category, but for OWNING one, so as long as you have the UPC from each package to mail in, you should be good! Even if you didn't want the baby carrier, it might be worth it to get one just to use the UPC to get the $300+ convertible seat.

@HabesBabe: the math is in your favor! you can totally use it to persuade DH! you said you have the b-safe already right? i'm going to use amazon prices posted now for this argument.

b-safe $0-you already have it!
b-ready $398
basinet or 2nd seat $0 free with b-ready
carrier $78 (i've heard these show up on nobetterdeal sometimes for $40 & change, none there now, but you could keep checking back)
sunshade 2 pk (or other small accessory) $10
boulevard 70 convertible seat $0 for submitting UPC for each of the items above!!

$486 spent to own approx $1,290 worth of britax!! even if you ended up changing your mind, you could totally sell it & easily get your $$ back. the b-ready alone retails for $499.99 and you'll need a convertible seat anyway- the free one you'd get retails for $319, so for the extra $167 you'd get a sick stroller that could be used as a double in the future, a carrier, sun shades (or whatever little thing), and a second seat for future baby #2 or a bassinet!!

i am the queen of enabling shoppers to justify their purchases, it's a gift really =P

@ChelseaRose: Nice, what color?! I'm lusting over the B-ready but I need to sell my Chicco first!

@ChelseaRose: did you get the b-safe or the chaperone? Deciding factors for you?

Thanks for posting. I got the black b-ready and the black chaperone. What a great deal.

@sunny: I'm getting the b-ready because we will hopefully have a second child in 2-3 years and I like the option of being able to add a second seat.

@ChelseaRose: yes! We're still TTC, but I find researching/picking out baby gear helps occupy my disappointing months:) I think the the size is the only reason not to go with the chaperone. I love that it has the shoulder strap adjustment from the from so you don't have to rethread the straps and that it has side impact protection. I've read you have to have 80% of the chaperone's base on seat and it depends on your car if you can have the seat touch the back of the carseat. Do you have a buy buy baby near you that you could try to install it at? Babiesrus near me doesn't carry them. I hope to get a chaperone, I have a Pacifica so I think that should be okay, but DH drives a corolla, lol, so we would probably leave a convertible seat in his car in case he needed it, but mostly use my car for family outings. Let us know how it fits!
