Anyone have a Britax B Mobile?

I noticed this online the other day and wondered if anyone had one (3 or 4 wheeler) and could let me know what they are like, or if you have tried one in a store?
Thank you. :)

I've got a 3 wheel version and I'm really pleased with it. I wanted a Baby Jogger City Mini but couldn't justify the extra cost for a second pushchair for the car.

It pushes beautifully and has no problem with wet grass and a bit of mud at the park. Can push one handed which was essential for me. I bought the foot muff which is lovely and thick but does make for a much bulkier fold.

The downsides are that it is wide at the back, I've kicked the foot brake while walking a few times and the raincover is hard to attach. It can be tricky to fold and the needs to be very upright to fold it. The handle is a little lower than I am used to an DH who is 6 ft struggles a bit with it.

I bought mine for a good price form Boots before Christmas with loads of points. I wouldn't pay the RRP but you can get them really cheap. Tesco were doing them 50% off.

I like the city mini but it is expensive, and I don't think I can afford it or justify it!
I am thinking of this as an alternative to something like a maclaren, I have a britax vigour 3+ which is very similar to the B smart, I like it but now would like something smaller and more compact as it is pretty bulky, would you say this is like an equivalent to a buggy type thing?
I think I would be used to the fold as it is the same as what I have I think, I guess the downside is, you can't do it one handed if it was needed.

I had one. I bought it instead of a City Mini as it is smaller and cheaper and I liked the fact that it 'locks' shut when folded. I had the 3 wheel version.

Pros: It looked very smart and DS was happy and comfortable in it. Nice to push. It reclines very nicely. I found it really really easy to fold down and unfold. Footmuff was very cosy. Smaller and neater overall than a City Mini. E.g. easier to take on escalators etc.

Cons: Kickbrake sometimes engages when going up and down curbs. When you have the footmuff on it is really bulky when folded down. Doesn't umbrella fold so takes up quite a lot of cupboard space(this is why it had to be got rid of in the end because it didn't go into the life at my in-laws who were supposed to be the main users.)

Overall I thought it was a very good buggy and would recommend it.

Thank you. :)
I like the idea of it, I would like something I could use like my britax 3+, but a smaller version but not sure if I will find it!
