Baby Products Reviews of Britax Vigour Stroller in BlueCustomer Review: Great maneuverability! Summary: 3 StarsI must first admit that I am not a big fan of strollers in general; however, I thought it might be nice to take the baby for *walks* around the neighborhood. (If you might be inclined to jog or hike, go for the BOB.) Initially, I liked the Maclaren strollers because they fold up small, are light weight, easy to maneuver, etc. My husband, who is generally more practical (and is indifferent to having a stroller), suggested that for neighborhood walks in our neighborhood, pneumatic tires would be the way to go. I also wanted the option of changing the seat from forward-facing to rear-facing. The Bugaboos are great in this regard, but who really wants to spend $700 on a stroller? (It's a *stroller*).
I am not assembly minded at all; Lego directions throw me for a loop. When the big box arrived, I couldn't help but to dive right in. Within 30 minutes, I assembled it myself :-). Today, without the instructions (after about 10 minutes of yanking on things), I even managed to fold it and get it into my trunk. I am no connoisseur, but this stroller is somewhat absurdly big in the trunk of my Honda Civic. I rather ungracefully crammed it into the trunk for its first outing beyond our neighborhood. It reassembled quickly and easily, but I don't recommend it if you need a stroller for multiple errands. I wouldn't like taking it in and out of the trunk more than once a week (strollers are not my favorite), so for our needs, it just stays ready to roll parked in the garage and I just wheel it out when we walk. No trunk stuffing.
The most useless feature on this stroller is the sunshade, though I hesitate to call it that, as it does nearly nothing to block the sun. It needs an extension of some kind, as others have mentioned. The basket is generous for our needs and my water bottle easily fits in there (there seems to be an obsession about strollers that lack cup holders--I need a stroller to carry the baby, not my drink du jour, but that's a personal preference).
This stroller, though large for my tastes, handles really well. The infinite recline is very cool. The seat is a bit shallow. You'd think that with such a beast of a stroller, the weight limit could go well beyond the 35 lb. limit. The seat though--it doesn't seem like it will accommodate a long kid. We're not there yet. The colors are quite nice too!
I bought this for $200 (open box special), and it's worked out really well for my simple needs. Now what should I do with the $500 that I still have by not buying the Bugaboo?
