BritaxB-Free B-Safe Gen2 Flex Fit Travel System

Just awful

I have been so disappointed in both the stroller and the carseat. The carseat gets stuck to the base all the time so when I go to lift the carseat out of the car, the base just comes up with it. The base does not feel securely fastened to the car despite having it checked by hospital staff, family and friends. The stroller's front wheel rattles non stop and just sounds and looks really cheap. The "infinite recline" feature is a joke. It is impossible to adjust it so your kiddo has a level back. My son is always hunched over to one side or the other, and the straps are pinched and twisted make the incline/recline rough and clunky. For a mid range price, both the car seat and the stroller feel and look really cheap, and do not feel safe at all. I was not able to return the set, but I did not feel safe driving around with my kiddo in this carseat/base so we went out and bought another one. I didn't even feel safe donating it to someone else. So bad.

Britax Travel System

This is a really nice travel system. I'll break down the things I liked about it and the things I didn't. Car Seat: Pros: -lightweight -easy and convenient to install with the base -fairly easy to install with just the seat belt Stroller: Pros: -rolls easily and smoothly -tires are somewhat heavy duty so it goes well over gravel/uneven surfaces -sunshade can expand really far to block sun and wind -fabric is aesthetically pleasing and also seems durable -fairly easy to fold and unfold (although to say it's "one-handed" is a bit of a stretch, in my opinion) -Being able to adjust the handle angle is really nice -the basket is a good size, large enough to fit a diaper bag -this stroller can definitely be used well into your child's toddler years Cons: -no organizer tray at the top for parent to sit drinks, put phone down, etc. There is a zipper pouch to hold things, but I much prefer a tray. - There is no tray in front of baby to hold snacks or toys -I found adjusting the recline on the seat to be a bit of a pain -I dislike that the infant seat adapter pieces are removable. They're not that large and not really in the way of anything when they're on the stroller, so I feel that could have been made a permanent part of the stroller. Having to put them on before attaching the infant seat is a bit of a pain, plus it's another separate piece to potentially lose. While there were a couple things I would've changed about the stroller, overall this a great travel system and I'd recommend it to any new mom. I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Safe, easy, and a joy to navigate!

Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system. It definitely lives up to its reputation. I feel so comforted knowing that my baby is in one of the safest car seats available. We have an infant and a toddler, and I primarily use this system for our infant but I enjoy taking the toddler on walks in the stroller because it is a dream to push around. We live in a residential area, and I tested this system out on primarily concrete between going on 1-2 mile walks and running errands. The stroller: first of all, it is so easy to get the car seat on and off the stroller. The magnetic closure of the second/front entrance to the basket is awesome, and I used it frequently. The back of the basket has a flexible bar that makes it super easy to get things in and out. The canopy is huge and when used as a stroller without the car seat it keeps the sun out of my baby’s eyes. When used with the car seat it makes it a nice dark environment that doesn’t disrupt the baby’s sleep when running errands and it has a huge mesh panel that you can expose to check on the babe. The stroller basically floats it glides so well. The handlebars are adjustable to fit people of many heights and the material is really nice. The only thing I wish the stroller had was a basket with cup holder for the person navigating, though it does have pockets for use that are quick and easy to store your phone, sunglasses, etc in; and while the inside of the stroller has a little pocket for my daughter’s sippy cup, she’s young and it’s not easy for her to get it in and out just yet. I wish it came with the toddler snack bar. Last, it is SO easy to fold and store. It takes me less than 10 seconds to take the car seat off the stroller, snap it into the car, and break down the stroller and close the trunk. I can even do this while safely holding my infant in my arms! Car seat: Assembly of the base and stroller was super simple and quick, and the level indicators of the car seat base made it easy to know if we were on or off track. We haven’t needed to install the car seat without the base, but will do so when grandparents visit and we use a different car. The infant inserts made my baby nice and snug. I love that the fabric is breathable for the hot summer coming up, and it is already handy in the hot car. I see us using this for years to come! The safety and quality components are just unbeatable.

Fantastic Travel System

After receiving the Britax Travel system from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, we were thoroughly impressed. The stroller is lightweight and fits perfectly into our trunk, while still allowing room for other items. The car seat easily attaches the stroller. The car seat is a little heavy, making it somewhat difficult to carry around with my growing son. The base is very simple to install and the carseat can also be easily installed without the base. I have struggled a few times to remove the seat from the base.

Fantastic Seat AND Stroller

Thank you to the Stellar Parent Panel for gifting us this excellent infant carseat and stroller! We LOVED the Britax B-Free and B-Safe Flex Fit System. With four kiddos, we feel like pros who know what we like and what we don't. I am always a little skeptical about whether a travel system can make a good stroller as well. I was so pleasantly surprised by this system! The infant carseat is comfortable and easy to use. I have a very tall baby and I love the way she sits up comfortably in this seat. The carseat attaches easily to the stroller with two simple, easy to use attachments that right now I leave right on there. While we primarily used the stroller with our 5 month old, my 2 1/2 year and 4 year olds also enjoyed a comfortable ride! My favorite feature is the way that the cover of the carseat fits securely into the cover of the stroller while baby naps. The lift flap has a great little mesh window to check baby or help circulate air but I don't have to separate the whole thing, letting sun in in the process. The whole thing was super easy to install, easy to open and collapse and had all the features I want without being bulky and taking over my limited trunk space. All in all, this is a GREAT carseat and stroller option.

Safe, well built system that will last!

The B-Sade Gen2 FlexFit Infant Seat and B-Free stroller travel system is so well designed! Right out of the box, the infant seat base is super easy to install in the car with the SafeCenter LATCH, and I had a very secure installation with minimal effort. The option to install without latch seems easy as well, although we did not have a need to utilize this installation method. My 3 month old is 15 pounds, and we quickly achieved a great fit with the adjustable headrest/harness, with the only exception being that I felt as though the added thickness from the headrest pushed his head forward very slightly. I would have loved to keep his head and body aligned a bit more at this stage, but at his weight he was too big to use the infant pillow. I do really like the extra layer of impact protection the headrest provides, so this wasn’t a dealbreaker since baby still seemed comfortable and safe even during long rides. The Gen2 FlexFit infant seat easily clicks in the car seat adaptors on the stroller. The stroller itself was a bit heavy, but it felt very sturdy and had wonderfully high weight and height maximums, so even my three year old rode around comfortably with tons of room to spare! The numerous pockets on the stroller are strategically located on the back and in the basket so I had zero need for a stroller organizer! Although I couldn’t fit my large diaper bag in the basket easily, I was super pleased with how easy the basket was to access from both the front and back. Never again will I have to remove everything from the basket to get to the first thing I put in. The stroller handles really well and was easy to push one handed on a variety of surfaces. Possibly my favorite stroller feature is the incredible canopy with the extra zippered extension! I have zero worries about my kids suffering in the sun in this stroller! Overall I would definitely recommend this travel system to anybody looking for a system that will be super functional from the early infant days well into the preschool years! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system to test and review!

I love this travel system. The stroller maneuvers super easy. Folding it can be a pain, definitely not a one handed fold. The black fabric is super easy to clean(my son is a big time spitter). The car seat is very nice as well. Overall, I really liked it. The option for installing without the base is nice, since we only have one base but multiple vehicles. The base instal was super quick and easy as well. The actual car seat had a few drawbacks for us. My son is a big boy(92nd percentile for both height and weight at 4 months) and the seat was a bit snug for him. It’s quite narrow and the crotch buckle had to be moved out to the farthest slot and even then it was difficult to buckle at times. Also, releasing the harness was a bit tricky as well Overall, I definitely would recommend this travel system, just had a few draw backs for us that brought it down to 4 stars. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.

So Many Bells and Whistles!
