Britax B-Lively Stroller

Was super excited get this stroller, but after 2 months of using it (on flat, well maintained sidewalks) the wheel are coming apart. It also has pulled to one side since the day I opened the box, so you definitely have to have 2 hands on the stroller at all times to keep control of it.

I want to love this stroller. I love so many of the features but it just leaves me disappointed. I feel like the seat doesn’t sit up straight enough. Even at its highest setting my baby seems too reclined and she is 8 months now. She has also always leaned to the left side in the stroller. It’s hard to adjust the seat recline setting and keep the back level. I really loved this when we were using the car seat attached as a travel system.

Well made, quality materials with a few issues. Pros: lightweight, compact fold, easy to open, large shade canopy. Comfortable seat. Cons: The under storage basket is small and hard to access. The buckle is difficult to open/close. It’s tough to snap it close. No parent or child tray. Would love a cup holder. The mechanism to lower and raise the seat back is a pain.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how easy this stroller is to fold up and put in the car! It is also so easy to install the infant carseat which is such a relief for this first time mom. I love how affordable it is, as well. Such a great price for a great stroller!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom of three kids under 3, I have spent way too much time and effort searching for the "perfect" stroller. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel, I was able to review the Britax b-lively stroller. It is my first 3 wheeled stroller and I was surprised by how maneuverable it was, it was easy to push and handled sidewalk "popping" well. The stroller worked well with both my 3 year old toddler ("I like this stroller mommy") and my 10 month old infant - the straps in the back made it easy to quickly change the recline of the stroller. Additional pros for me were: the massive sun shade with an easy to use ventilation/spy window and a built in organizer pocket with a zipper compartment and room for 2 baby bottle (not a coffee cup though!). The stroller can be turned into a travel system as it comes with britax infant car seat adapters. Unfortunately I already own another brand of car seat and there is no compatibility - something to keep in mind if you already own a different brand of car seat. The two best features of the stroller are the fold - an EASY, TRUE one hand fold , also easy to open - and the front basket access. There are some downsides to the stroller. I wish that the stroller bar was adjustable - I am 4'10" and my husband is 6'3" so having a stroller handle that moves is key! The stroller also does not come with a rain cover or a snack tray - a common thing that stroller companies do that just bugs me.
