out of 5 stars Easy to use, Great with the Companion Carseat, October 27, 2005
 

 
Reviewer: Tim & Kathryn "timandkathryn" (MI United States)

We bought both the Britax Preview Stroller after Consumer Reports reviewed the Britax Companion Car seat as the safest of the infant/rear-facing seats on the market. The Preview stroller accommodates the car seat well. The seat snaps in easily to the stroller. The stroller is not overly bulky and many places list it as an "umbrella" stroller rather than a travel stroller. The stroller is very stable as long as you lock it once you unfold it. While at first it is difficult to maneuver with one hand, becomes easier to manage fairly quickly as you learn how it moves. I agree with the previous reviewer that the sunshade doesn't seem to fit quite right, but a few adjustments and it works now. Storage is great and we love the detachable bag too. We'd probably not have looked at this stroller if it wasn't for the CR review of the Companion car seat, but we're glad we did. We did get a jogging stroller as well, for the times when we need more maneuverability. But since infants are not supposed to be in jogging strollers until about 6 months old, we haven't even unpacked that one yet!

out of 5 stars Light and Sturdy, August 5, 2005
 

 
Reviewer: Robert Eardley

The preview stroller is light and sturdy. While we haven't used it yet, the setup was reasonably easy. Overall, it looks great, is easy to fold, is easy to clip in the associated infant carseat (Companion which we also own), has a nice reclining feature, and seems to have substantial underseat storage. The locking mechanism on the back is easy to engage and once unlocked, you merely push forward to fold. Other reviews indicate that the stroller has collapsed when in use - for me this has not been a problem if the locking bar on the back is fully engaged (I did not realize the need right away to fully lock the rear bar). The stroller looks better than the pictures indicate. A complaint is that the instructions are hard to follow and the sunshade does not fit correctly as there is not enough space between the two support bars to clip it on securely (so I had to clip it on a little higher than the instruction pictures show which may let in more sunlight).

out of 5 stars Returned it, January 21, 2006
 

 
Reviewer: danscat (Seattle, WA)

After tons of research and test-driving this stroller in the store, I thought I'd found The Perfect Stroller. I was so excited to get it home and let my ten month old out for a "test-drive". I encountered problems immediately. First, the stroller was Extremely difficult to open and close. It was so stiff I found myself leaning on it with all my weight just to get it to open. Getting it to fold back up was no picnic either. I'd read other reviews about this stroller being "stiff" at first, so I figured it would get better. Three days later it still hadn't loosened up. I also found the recline on the seat mechanism to be very stiff and awkward. The final straw came when I noticed that I kept kicking the wheels every seventh or eighth step. I'm 5'4" and don't have an unusual stride. It was annoying. I decided to return it while I still could (thankfully I purchased it at a local store that has a wonderful exchange policy!) I did like a few things: it seemed very comfortable for my son, and I appreciated that it felt sturdy, and it did have a nice basket. Perhaps I got a lemon, perhaps the folding mechanism would have loosened up over time, but I didn't feel like taking the chance and then finding that it didn't...

out of 5 stars Very good stroller, January 9, 2006
 

 
Reviewer: Mcmama (Longmont, CO)

This stroller has some great features that help me out a lot. First of all, it's extremely easy to maneuver. I can pull it and push it in any direction and it glides smoothly along. The attachable diaper bag would be great except I usually carry a pre-packed diaper bag with me anyway and rarely use the attachable one for diapers and such.
It's also very comfortable for both of my kids. If my 2 month old is in a sling, my 2 year old loves to ride in it. The folding foot rest area is great too. It unfolds to lengthen the riding area for a sleeping child or folds down when they're awake.
I haven't had any difficulty folding it down, but it's a little stiff when I'm trying to put it in the upright position.
A feature that I don't like is that the storage compartment underneath is pretty small and when the seat is in the reclined position (which it must be for the car seat to fit in it), the basket is not easily accessible. If you're like me and like to stuff your purse and bags in the basket when your shopping so you don't have to carry them, then you might not like that feature.
The other problem is that it's difficult to steer with one hand. If I'm trying to hold onto my 2 year old with one hand, I have to really struggle to keep the stroller straight.
I like this stroller over all, but there are a few improvements to be made. It really depends on what your stroller needs are.

out of 5 stars I Like It!, December 22, 2005
 

 
Reviewer: K. Lamb (NH)

This stroller is the best. It wheels around so easy and it has a sleek design so I can make my way through the aisles at the mall..and we all know that's very important! Folding and unfolding is so easy. I got the black one and it just looks so nice and well put together. It works great with the companion car seat.
