Customer Reviews

Best Compact Stroller Available
I absolutely love the Britax Blink. I highly recommend this stroller to anyone who is looking for a high quality compact stroller. I spent several weeks researching and testing lightweight strollers and decided to take a chance on buying the Britax online because I found everything else unsatisfactory. I was specifically looking for a lightweight stroller that I can use for every day use and travel. Our 11 month old is already 30 pounds, so we needed a stroller with a high weight capacity to grow with our baby.

The Britax is perfect. I find it very easy to maneuver, and also very sturdy. This is a marked improvement over our huge Graco travel system for getting through crowds and narrow aisles and walkways. The design and feel of this stroller is nearly identical to the Maclaren Triumph, yet the price on the Britax is considerably lower. I love the adjustable footrest! We have also found that the stroller stores easily standing up on its handles. My husband is 6'2", and he is comfortable with the height of the handles, I'm 5'4" and also comfy pushing the Britax. We also tried out the Combi Cosmo and the even more expensive Peg Perego Aria, but both of these strollers felt flimsy with my 11 month old son inside.

One note for folks with older babies and toddlers, the seat on this stroller seems to be a bit narrower than some strollers of similar price and design so you may wish to research that before you purchase.

I will try and remember to come back and update my review in a few months to provide remarks on its durability.

Great Stroller!

Strengths:
-very light weight
-easy to fold and unfold
-big storage bin
-easy to recline and stays put no matter how much or little your recline it
-SAFE-5 point safety harness
-carry strap
-front wheels can be locked to swivel or not
-adjustable foot/leg area
-very comfortable for baby
-came with free storage bag-great to use for travel!
-small/compact when folded-it takes up very little space in the back of my Honda CRV
-will be able to use for years to come!!

Negative:
-haven't found a tray yet for it, but there may be one out there
-cup holder not included
-canopy does not come down very far, but I plan on using in mainly inside anyway

Great "umbrella" style upscale model - see pics
I compared the Silver Cross Micro (not sure if it v2 or not) with this Britax. I really like both of them, and the Britax comes out slightly ahead. This is mainly due to a slightly taller stance with some nicer amenities (like better brakes, and the ability to recline).

Actually - the biggest difference and one that should make the biggest difference if you should buy this or not - is the ability to recline the seat back. This is really THE most important feature for people with younger children. It also allows you to adjust the shoulder straps which is another big, big, plus. Dollar for Dollar, I think that the Britax is a slightly better design with better features. Did I mention the recline feature?

Micro V.2 Pink/Black

Otherwise - the frame structure is identical. If you took off all the fabric - it would look the same. The mechanism for folding, the latches, the wheels, ... all the same. See the pics if you haven't already. these strollers are almost essential if you go out and about a lot. They fit anywhere, they roll wonderfully, and you can handle it with one hand. They also weigh less than 20 lbs.
