Britax Vigour Stroller Blue The Vigour from Britax is compatible with the Britax Companion Infant Carrier (sold separately) to create a sleek and urban travel system. Using an easy Click & Go method, it makes moving from car to stroller simple by just clicking the infant carrier onto the lightweight aluminum stroller frame.

As your child grows, the removable Vigour seating unit, made of durable denier fabrics, can easily attach in either a forward or rear-facing position. The stroller conveniently folds flat with the seating unit attached; for an even more compact fold, remove the seating unit.

Unique to the Vigour are four-wheel stability with 12″ pneumatic tires, all-wheel suspension and one-touch dual rear brakes. Vigour also features a five-point harness with three shoulder-height positions, reflective piping for added safety, a removable sun canopy and arm bar, adjustable handle, infinite recline positions, and an oversized storage basket for necessities.

Customer Review: Great maneuverability!
I 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?
Customer Review: Exactly what I wanted!
I just purchased this stroller, and thanks to the reviews here on amazon I knew exactly what I was getting. For me, it’s just right. I just went for a walk around the neighborhood in it and I found that the canopy is a bit short, but by adjusting the seat recline the sun stayed off my baby’s face. I like the length of the canopy because it allows my baby to look me in the eyes while we walk. The number one reason I bought this stroller is because the baby can be turned to face me as I walk. I rarely see strollers that do that and that is important to me.

I am 100% satisfied with this stroller. I love the diversity it offers, I can have baby facing me or away from me, I can adjust the handlebar to any height and the recline is super easy to adjust. It’s very easy to maneuver, great to push, and it even looks super cool! It is large when it is folded up in my trunk, but no larger than my Graco was. I have no complaints!
