I am busy doing stroller research, and was pretty sure I wanted the Uppababy Vista, but I began seeing lots of comparisons between the Vista and the Britax B-ready, now I am thinking that the B-ready might be the way to go.
I am going to go play with one when I am in the nearest big city in 2 weeks, but I am wondering if anyone here has it, and how they feel about it.

I have it. I posted a review on my blog. I still love it now with my 3 month old. I am very happy I saved tr money and didn't get the ubv.

I'm with you... I saw both strollers at Buy Buy Baby this weekend... still thinking about it a bit more too, so I'd love to hear some responses!
@Thehistoryofus: any way you could share the review?

I just thought I would add some more details.
My LO is 15 months now and we still use our B ready as our only stroller. We have an umbrella stroller but we never use it. If its a short trip (like grocery store or to Lowes) I put her in the Ergo.
I love that the new 2012 seat has for recline positions with one being more upright.
My LO is over 30 inches now and still fits height wise by far!

Can you wait until the Britax Free Ride event? My friend got a free Britax car seat when she purchased her Britax stroller!

I got the b-ready with a second seat during the free ride event, then a free car seat using registry rewards.
I also have a b-agile that I use for shopping trips since it is smaller. I find the b- ready to be too wide to maneuver through stores, but love it for going for walks. Plus when we have LO #2 both the kids can be in it without the width of a double stroller. The other thing I like about the b-ready is the versatility. It has so many seat options. You can even use it as just a frame and snap the car seat in it! The basket is nice and huge too. I'd definitely recommend it, just keep in mind that it is pretty wide.

If you get the B-Ready, you might want to look into their Registry Rewards (you don't actually have to register for stuff)-- http://www.britaxusa.com/registryrewards
@banana: Do you know when Free Ride is/what the details are?

B-ready rock. The reason it won out over the UBV for us was that it had more configuration options than the UB. 8 months next week and it's still the clear winner to me

@tororojo: the free ride event was over the summer so I don't think they'll have another until next summer.

@tororojo: The 2012 one was in July. I'm assuming the next one will be around the same time in 2013? In 2011, they did it in April/May (i think) and again in September. Basically you have to buy your Britax stroller through Amazon. You put the stroller in your "cart" and add the accessory of your choice (you can choose between an infant car seat, a second seat, or a bassinet). When you check out, you will only get charged for the stroller!

I think it depends on where you live and where you plan to bring the stroller!
I was SO set on the Britax B ready. Just loved the big wheels with great suspension, great maneuverability, can accommodate 2 kids comfortably...then I realized, I live in the city! I'm going to be lugging this stroller in and out of my car as often as I'll take it out on the bus/metro and playgrounds...so I needed something more narrow (to fit on the bus/narrow aisles of some shops) and lighter (to lift in and out the trunk of the car).
I still haven't purchased anything yet...but I'm leaning towards the Uppababy Cruz. But the B ready is a great stroller if it matches your needs.

@duckduckkristen: @banana: Wow, that's such a great deal! Too bad our LO is due in Feb...not quite perfect timing for that promotion. Although we're planning to hold off on buying a stroller for awhile unless we get it as a gift, so maybe we'll be able to take advantage.

I got it at the last event and the car seat was free. I have not used it yet. LO is not due for another 11 weeks. But I am super excited about it and so glad I got it.
