Britax B-Smart 3 - any good?

[rainand]

Hi,

Anyone got the Britax B-Smart 3? I'm thinking of buying it for my 1st. Not sure whether to go for that or something else.

I have one and I love it! Easy to use, light to push, handles all sorts of terrains, large hood which extends right down to shield from the sun. Not a one hand fold but easy enough and not the smallest or lightest when folded but I don't mind that, more important to me is that it's sturdy. I had the carrycot but the seat unit lies flat too. Minor gripe is that the rain cover for the carrycot is hard to get on and a bad fit, unless that was just mine.

I've been using it for 9 months and no problems so far, and it's been to all sorts of places a pushchair has no right to be! I would recommend.

Awful to push,tiny basket and a pain t fold

Hi, I had this pram. I did like it and it did everything I needed. The only problem is the quality. My first broke at the folding mechanism, this was replaced with a new one and then the brakes failed and the handlebar adjustment broke! I could have just been unlucky-I bought it after several recommendations, and nobody else I know had problems like I did. Lots of good points though, lay flat seat, huge hood, good shopping basket, pretty good on all terrain. What others are you considering?
