At 1/3 the price of the similar Bugaboo Frog, the Britax Vigour stroller is tough to beat.
br /
br /The wheels are large, and the front wheels have spring shock absorbers, making walks with baby on cracked sidewalks a breeze. It's very maneuverable, and rolls silky smooth. Rolls easily on grass, too, for those trips to the park.
br /
br /The seat is comfortably padded, can face forwards or rearwards, and has an ingenious "infinite adjustment" to tilt the seat very precisely at any angle. The 5-point harness, with two height adjustments, holds the child securely. The seat is very easy to add and remove from the stroller.
br /
br /There is adequate storage under the seat, with waterproof plastic on the bottom for those rainy days.
br /
br /The construction is impressive, and the unit is very well made. It even came with a portable air pump for the rear tires.
br /
br /The minor drawbacks are that the sunshade is on the small side (could have used another 6 inches of coverage), and the unit is not light. However, it's not light, because it's made out of metal instead of cheap plastic.
br /
br /None of these drawbacks are a big deal, and I would but it again tomorrow. It's a great stroller.
br /
br /It's age-rated for "6 months and up" but we put our 15lb 3-month-old in there with no problems. She loves the smooth ride, and since the shock absorbers soak up bumpy pavement, the baby sleeps uninterrupted on walks.
br /
br /There is also a bassinet sold in England, which could be ordered.
br /
br /We're very happy with this unit.

After spending a ridiculous amount of time researching strollers, I decided to go with the Britax Vigour. I love this stroller!!!
br /
br /Pros: Safe. Turns on a dime. Sturdy construction. Smooth ride for baby. Great looking. $500 less than a Bugaboo system. Works great for tall parents. Quick and compact fold. Great travel system with the Britax Companion car seat... just, click and go. Easy for a mom to lift in and out of a truck or hatch-back. One piece handle-bar allows for one-hand steering (sorry, Peg Perego ... but, two handles just aren't practical). Nice (but, not flat) recline for baby. Seat can be positioned to face parent or the world.
br /
br /Cons: The sunshade is way TOO small and offers virtually no protection for baby. I attached an after-market shade to the stroller to reduce glare, but I would have preferred a bigger shade. The seat is a bit small, so my daughter may outgrow the Vigour by teh time she is a small toddler.
br /
br /My advice ... buy it!!!

We purchased the stroller 9 months ago. We loved it, but on our first plane trip a plastic part that holds the handle to the base broke. The stroller was still operable, but on the next plane trip the other part broke. Now it's inoperable. We contacted Britax and there customer service took care of the situation by sending us a new stroller to replace this one without charge. We love the stroller and based on their response this is product issue, they have very, very happy customer and advocate for their company.

br /Also, for some reason I could not change my original rating once I submitted my comments. I rate this product and company a 5.

This is the best deal on a stroller you can find. I've done my homework! I purchased this stroller on Amazon for about $150 less than the store near my house sells it for. The Britax Companion Infant carseat snaps right in. And when my son can sit up on his own, he can ride in the stroller seat. We haven't tried it yet, but I think infants can lay flat in the stroller seat, so you may not need the matching carseat if you've already purchased one...look into that. Every time we take our son out, he falls asleep during the drive and we just keep him cozy in his carseat and pop it in. This stroller looks and works just like a Bugaboo that retails for over $800. Yep, it's heavy (just like the Companion carseat), but I only want the best for my baby...and I have found it in this Britax set. It's so safe and sturdy. I have used other strollers with my sister's family and as a nanny. This beats any competition hands down. Do yourself a favor and spend a bit extra on this stroller. You will be so happy that you did. Happy Shopping!

I absolutely love this stroller. It just feels totally different from any other I have pushed. So smooth and stable and sporty. It's just awesome! The only slight drawback is that it doesn't fold down to be really compact...we have a small SUV so its no problem, but if you own a compact car it might be tough. Other than that, 5 stars all the way. We're using it with the Companion infant seat right now.

i got this stroller in mint condition and i love it. my son loves it. it looks complicated to put together but once u get the hang on how it works its very easy to take apart and put back together. nothing was cheaply made on this stroller, the fabic looks brighter online, but it still is a great color and it even has some holographic lines onthe fabric u cant see online. i love how it adjust to tons of postions face forward or backward. the strectch basket underneath is much roomier than it looks! i would recommend this to anyone. i even jog great with it, its a lil tall for me but the handle ajusts a few different ways as well.

Very happy with new stroller. Very easy to assemble (under 10 minutes) and maneuver. Took baby for a 45 min. walk and she loved it! The suspension is just right for the size. The under carriage compartment is petite but enough for the essentials. Really liked the adjustable handle bar and front/rear facing combo seat. The mini air pump was not so easy to use ;), but after a couple of tries was finally able to lock it in place. I had to inflate them twice because I didn't notice I put too much pressure on the rubber wile inflating it (holding it between my knees), thus the tire was a little bit lopsided the firt time.

It took us some research to decide on this stroller, but we're very pleased with this purchase.
br /Pro: It has huge wheels that makes it very stable, sturdy. Perfect with the Companion infant seat. It's very nice looking and a lot cheaper than PegPrego, or Boogaboo, so you feel different when you go out (kind of like using AMEX black...) I have other mothers talking to me or smiling to me in the mall, because they have the same strollers!
br /Con: It's very big, so if you have a small car, it may not fit. Even with our Volvo XC 70, it feels cramped in the trunk. Without taking the seat off, it's almost impossible for a petite girl like me to lift it and put it in the car. And when this thing is in the trunk, forget about going grocery shopping.
br /Overall this is a very good stroller and I would recommend to anyone who has a big cargo space.

Love it!! I've had the mc claren for my first child but had such a sore back from bending down all the tiime.
br /This looks like a bugaboo but is better, its higher, and slimmer and easy to get into and out of restaurants and shops etc..
br /Ive had it for my little girl since she was born and she sleeps in it like it's her thrown!
br /I wedged one of those pillows so infants don't roll in the stroller and she sleeps sound and safe since birth.
br /I thoughrally recomend this stroller!!
br /x jodie

I bought this based on people's feedback and let me tell you, they are RIGHT!!!!
br /Forget about Bugaboo or Peg Perego and their over priced strollers, this is the way to go!!!

I got this stroller after having two BRITAX car seats, because I love their quality and safety standards. I put the stroller together by myself and was impressed at the ease of putting it together. It was quick and easy to switch from front facing to rear facing. This is one of the top qualifying reasons for buying this stroller. I do not have my little one yet, so I have not gotten to try it out around town, but as far as quality and ease I give it a good rating. It is also very stylish, but without the big price tag...The only drawback would be that I am not sure how long I will be able to use it, the seat looks a bit small and the shade is on the skimpy side.

This is such a wonderful stroller! With 2 children, this is the 5th stroller I have purchased. It is hands down the best one I've ever owned. I love the versitality of facing forward or backwards. Its also stylish and much more affordable than the Bugaboo, for similar look. My daughter loves sitting up high and being able to look at me when we go for walks.
br /
br /Can't go wrong with this!!

This Stroller is awesome, it cuts on a dime, can be folded up by my wife, and is well worth the price. It is easy to adjust and keep things simple. If you don't have one, get one! If you got one, you love it!
