Britax® is best known for their strollers, but that doesn’t mean you have to forego a pram if you are a fan of Britax’s® products. All of their strollers can be fitted with a bassinet to put them in pram-mode.
The design of the Britax® bassinet is very similar in style to UPPAbaby®, only not as deep as the UPPAbaby® bassinet. The available frames are also not impressive, and we’d likely suggest you go with UPPAbaby® if you like this style of pram. Compared to the UPPAbaby®, the Britax® frames look more fragile, and they have no all-terrain options. The only frames that looks like it could handle some varied terrain is the B-Ready and Affinity strollers. Yet, both of these still comes with small front tires, and we are doubtful how well they may handle bumps and cracks in the road.
Overall, we are not sold on the Britax® system. It seems rather boring and bland. The bassinets sell in very few colors. The Affinity only comes in black/grey, and the B-Ready in red, black, silver and green.
If you like to keep it simple, this may be OK.
Britax® Affinity and B-Ready
On the plus-side they come with a soft fabric belt to secure baby in the bassinet. This, however, is not enough if you plan to have your little one nap in the bassinet outside into toddler age. Regardless, like many of the other bassinets, the Britax® bassinets will only be usable for your little one until age 5-6 months.
The Affinity model is much more sleek than the B-Ready, and not to mention much lighter (about 10 lbs). In particular, we love that it comes with a leather handle- and bumper bar. This gives it a much more luxurious look and feel.
The Affinity bassinet also comes with an extended canopy and zipper ventilation. Overall, it just looks much higher quality and sturdy than the B-Ready. The Affinity is also much more expensive, and with the bassinet will set you back about $900 + shipping from the Britax® website. Though, at the time of this post, we were able to find the stroller for $299 and the bassinet for $99 on Amazon with free shipping.
The great thing about Britax® is that it’s highly convenient for transporting multiple children. It has 9 seat arrangements for carrying two children. The frame also pairs with several non-Britax® brands like Peg Perego®, Chicco®, and Graco®.
