My favorite stroller and why

 

 

One day last year I looked into my garage and I had four strollers! Omg the space they took up. I had an umbrella stroller, a jogger, a travel system and a sit and stand. I had to figure out how to get down to one and still have all these functions.

At the time the city mini was the hot stroller. One thing I desperately need in a stroller is under storage space. We travel a lot and some times our stroller is our shopping cart, bag carrier, multiple kid carrier you name it! I love the way the city mini looked. I liked everything about it except the storage.

This led me to the Britax be free!! This stroller is awesome!

Wheels:

The rubber wheels are great for all terrain. The front wheel locks which allows me to jog with it. It says not a jogging stroller but let’s be honest I’m not going that fast. I just kind of keep up with my kids on bikes.

Storage:

The be free has great storage space. Not only is the under carriage bigger than the city mini but it also has a bendable flap to help cram more stuff underneath. The front flap also lifts ups to access all the goodies under the stroller. On the back of this flap is a zipper pocket too. There are two little pockets with the kiddo to stick cups and snacks. 

 

 

The back of the stroller has a flap with pocket and a zipper too. And I got the additional mom cup holder and kid tray attachments. Because I need my space too! All the flaps and what not work with magnets, not Velcro so no more having a bunch of crap stuck in it.

Seat and Canopy:

I also needed the reclining seat for pool and beach naps. The canopy has two different shade levels too. And has UV protection!

 

Easy maneuver & Close:

I needed a stroller that is easy to push; I mean like one handed! With three kids and dodging through crowded places I needed to be able to maneuver easily. This things turns on a dime. It’s easy to close with a strap in the middle of the seat .

Comfort:

One thing I never thought about and I feel dumb saying this but is the comfort of the kiddo. Thankfully Britax thought of everything and put nice padding in the seat. My Emerson has had many naps in this great stroller.

Price:

The cost of the city mini and the be free with the extra attachments were pretty close to the same. I sold three strollers on the buy sell trade to help cover the cost of my new one. Plus I have tons of extra space in the garage.

All in all a perfect fit for our family!! And it allowed me to condense all my strollers into one. On the off chance my five year old needs a ride I make sure I have my ergo in the storage basket so Emmy goes on my back and Lincoln in the stroller. And honestly I’ve put my two and five year old in the stroller together haha.
