I'm a Britax fan owing the B-safe with the B-ready and now purchasing the B-Agile. We bought this stroller because its less bulky than the B-Ready and a perfect everyday car stroller that doesn't take up my entire trunk. The stroller has plenty of space for a growing child, fantastic one handed maneuverability, a huge sun shade and seems quite comfortable for my toddler. The fold is a one handed easy step and one of the reasons I purchased this model. However, if I could, I would change a few things.
-Basket isn't too large but OK for a small purse, misc items. A mommy hook works wonders in this situation but be careful it doesn't flip back.
-The handle bars aren't adjustable which for me has been a little annoying but manageable. I'm 5'8 and could feel myself slouching ever so slightly as I push. If you're slightly shorter than this wont affect you. If you're much taller, this may be an issue. If you're looking for a compact britax, the b-nible's handles are quite tall.
-And not a deal breaker but a cup holder would be nice. For the price they could have thrown in a free cup holder instead of me having to dish out another $15. More of a hassel to remember to buy the cup holder than it is spending the money.

overall I'm really happy with this stroller and would definitely recommend it!!

I just bought this stroller after reading many positive reviews and I love it! I gave it 5 stars because there isn't anything negative I have to say - maybe with further use but definitely nothing so far! I used it inside jogging around a track and it drives great, very easy to steer, even one handed, and runs so smooth. Then I just used it (with my daughter just 17 days old) to fly to another city for the day for a medical appointment for her. It drives great in the snow (we live in Northern Alberta) which is a must. It folds so easily! Everyone (the plane people loading it etc) all seemed pretty surprised at the ease too! And it works great with the car seat and so easy to click on and take off. Overall I am so happy with it and so glad I bought this stroller!

I tried many strollers before choosing this one. I'm short and petite so most strollers were too heavy for me. This one is light, an easy one hand open and close, and a smooth glide. Sure, it would be nice if it had cup holders etc, but I bought the caddy and it serves the purpose. We use this stroller with the b-safe car seat for an instant click and lock travel system. I'm very pleased with this purchase, as is my tall husband. Oh, and baby enjoys it too! Recommended.

This is a great stroller. We purchased this along with the Britax B-Safe car seat. We are very pleased with this stroller. There are some pros and cons however.

CONS:
- this stroller lives up to it's agile name, just not with the car seat attached. You are supposed to lock the front wheel in place when using the car seat adapter. This greatly decreases the ease at which it steers.
- the lower basket is on the small side and if the seat of the stroller is reclined it makes it difficult to access.
- the tray and cup holder are not included.
- the handle is not adjustable which is fine for me (perfect height for me at 5'7) but it might be a deal breaker for somebody else.

PROS:
- without the car seat this stroller is a breeze to manoeuvre. One handed, uphill, downhill, in tight spaces.
- the canopy is huge and doesn't feel flimsy at all.
- the wheels are large and they can plow through snow and slush easily
- it is very light without feeling flimsy. Easy for my weak arms to load and unload.
- it was very easy to assemble out of the box
- it is very easy to fold and unfold
- it is very sleek looking. I have received many compliments on this stroller.

After 5 months of use I'd have to say that this stroller has been a disappointment... A friend and I both have this stroller and neither of us is thrilled with its performance.

With and without the infant seat clipped in, this stroller is not manoeuverable unless you have both hands on the handle. If you happen to have one hand occupied and try to steer it with only one hand the stroller will veer to the left or right. I've tried to take onto a city bus and the have not found it to easily pivot either. It always takes two hands to lift and move it in the direction you want it to go.

When you actually load the bottom basket with a few light things it makes it even more impossible to control, even with two hands. It takes quite a bit of effort and this is tiring with the added weight of the baby (and carseat).

I also took it out recently in a few measly centimetres of snow and there was absolutely no traction to the wheels. The stroller slid sideways down sidewalk inclines. It was uncontrollable when the wind started to pick up as well. I was really frustrated taking my son out in it for only a few blocks and just turned around to go home.

Without the carseat it's not as bad but I wouldn't say that it lives up to its AGILE name. I suppose 15 pounds makes it pretty light compared to other strollers. Being so lightweight you'd think it'd be more agile but that's just not the case.
