NEW Britax!!!

August 11, 2010 By Lena

Before I became a parent, I salivated over shoes. Now, it’s all about the baby’s ride.

This is by far the most exciting news for Pram-a-holics like me. Britax, trusted and loved manufacturer of car seats and strollers, is ready to release three (3) NEW strollers: the B-READY modular stroller, the B-NIMBLE umbrella stroller and the B-SCENE three-wheel stroller. All three are compatible with the Britax Chaperone infant car seat.

After checking out the B-READY online, I was hooked. It can be converted from a single child system to a two-child or twin system utilizing any combination of seats, bassinets and infant car seats in 14 possible configurations. Check it out:

Okay, I am officially in LOVE. Imagine, with ONE stroller, I can have:

a) Baby Reid sleeping in a bassinet or in his infant car seat
b) Big Brother Ryder in a rear or forward facing seat
c) BOTH of them in a double configuration stroller!

There is simply nothing comparable on the market today, and with good reason – only Britax could pioneer this thoughtfully engineered design! I just showed the video to my mom, who can’t believe how far strollers have come (insert “back in the day we only had a choice of pink or blue umbrella strollers” story here).

From Britax:

“For years parents and caregivers have relied on Britax for the thoughtful details that make life on the go easier and safer,” said Jon Chamberlain, president of Britax USA. “Our product designers know that parents want products with extended life spans that can grow with their family. The B-READY was designed with more options when traveling with one or two children. The result is a feature-rich and adaptive stroller design inspired by how parents hold and connect with their children.”

Click here to learn more about the Britax B-READY modular stroller.

Also in their new lineup is the B-NIMBLE:

Britax – trusted child safety seat and stroller manufacturer – introduces a new compact-fold umbrella stroller, the B-NIMBLE. The stroller weighs less than 13 pounds and includes a canopy, rain cover and cup holder. B-NIMBLE accommodates newborns and children up to 55 pounds and is easy to both maneuver and fold.

The B-NIMBLE is designed to address parents’ mobility needs. The unique rear wheel auto-lock fold release mechanism allows a caregiver to fold the stroller and immediately rest it against a car or wall, without it rolling back down. The one-foot anti-scuff linked rear break locks the rear wheels with a single step. Parents can throw the B-NIMBLE over a shoulder while keeping both hands free using its portable carry strap, perfect for the airport.

And the B-SCENE:

Parents can use the B-SCENE stroller from birth with an infant car seat or Britax Bassinet (sold separately). For children six months and up, the B-SCENE’s removable seat can be used forward or rear facing up to 55 pounds. The B-SCENE’s three-wheel design and adjustable top handle offer parents improved maneuverability, while its full suspension produces a smoother, more comfortable ride for the child.

To further ease a parent’s routine, the B-SCENE features an automatic chassis lock that locks the frame in a folded position and an adjustable, no re-thread five-point harness system. The stroller also boasts lightweight expanded rubber tires so no inflation is required, and a one-foot anti-scuff linked rear brake with red and green indicators.

The B-READY will be in stores in September, and the B-NIMBLE and B-SCENE will follow shortly thereafter (late fall 2010).

Are there any other Pram-a-holics out there? Do tell!

    OMG this looks amazing. When will it be availble, and do you know what the selling price is?

    @Ann – It's TOTALLY amazing! The B-READY will be available next month, and the price for the stroller is about $500. The bassinet and extra child seat are purchased separately.

    I am intrigued by these!! We're looking for something lightweight that will be able to go from infant – toddler easily, and the B-Nimble could just be it. And it's available in Cowmooflage ;) Will this be available next month as well?

  4. Lena!

    August 11, 2010 at 2:54 pm

    @Chelle – the B-NIMBLE will be available in late fall, so I'm thinking Oct/Nov. You know I'll be posting about them when they're in stores!

    Wow! I wish they would've had this 4 years ago when Andy was born! …kind of makes me want to have another baby, just so I can get one…wait, 2am feeding image just flashed in my head…maybe I'll just admire it from behind my computer :P

    Wow. I'm a big Bugaboo fan but love this one. Too bad they didn't have it when The Lunchie was born! Oh well. I love the fact that you can carry two babies/kids without the massive bulk. At that price, that's an awesome stroller.

  10. Lena!

    August 12, 2010 at 2:24 pm

    @Marcella – good call!@Runnermama – that's exactly why I'm loving it – it has all the functions of the Bugaboo (I think) plus the dual stroller feature. Nice nice nice.

    You may want to also check out the Phil and Teds design – I have one of them, and its great for taking out my two kids!

    Holy crap! That is amazing! Thanks for sharing. You are awesome!

    @Miriam – indeed, the Phil & Ted's is very similar to the new Britax. @Deb – ha ha ha! You're welcome!

    I love new Britax line, but when i called Britax to check when B-scene will be available for purchase, i asked about reversible seat on B-scene and they told me the seat is not reversible, now i am really confused, because most 3 wheels strollers have non-reversible seat and i was looking forward t buy new Britax because of reversible seat option.I only need single stroller, B-Ready seems more like double stroller to me, it is too long to be used as single in my opinion.

Instagram post 2198178178451471340_327607838 We've had a late start to decorating this holiday season, but every few days, we dress down in our comfiest clothes, turn up the Christmas carols and tackle another thing on our list! This past weekend the boys helped me put the finishing touches on our tree. Don't you just love our @UNIQLOCanada loungewear? My #ExtraStretch Long Sleeve Set has all-direction stretch for the ultimate in comfort, and the boys' #ExtraStretch Sweat Sets are their favourite chillin' clothes. (Psst - my #CurlyFleece Room Shoes are currently on SALE and make a great gift!) #LifeWear #UNIQLOCanada #ad
Instagram post 2196942347640341480_327607838 Holiday shopping this week? 🛍 Let @shopSTC make it easy! Scarborough Town Centre's Guest Services pop up (relocated beside Entrance 4) is a newly transformed space offering exclusive shopping amenities. Chill out in the visitors’ lounge, lighten your load with coat/parcel check and strike another thing off the "to do" list by purchasing STC gift cards or utilizing gift wrapping services. It's all designed with your comfort and convenience in mind, and let me tell you, it's so appreciated during this busy holiday season! Psst - only TWO weeks left until Christmas! 🎄#MeetMeAtSTC #STCPartner
Instagram post 2196198335807567733_327607838 The holidays are here, and what better way to share in the joy of the season than with a potluck! It’s the perfect way to celebrate togetherness, one dish at a time. Here are my best tips for hosting a fun potluck with friends:

1. Grab EVERYTHING you need from @walmartcanada. Yes, everything! Swipe ➡️ to see the amazing holiday-themed dishes and decor I purchased from my local store. From table runners to trays, serving dishes to sparkly ornaments, you'll be able to dress up your table in style while saving money.

2. Elevate your apps. I made a more grown-up spin on cheese and crackers by stacking flavourful Great Value Old Cheddar and Great Value Original Turkey Sausage Sticks on top of Great Value Wheat Thins - finishing with a sprinkle of chives. It's so simple to make and believe me when I say they go quickly, especially at parties!

3. Assign a variety of tastes, textures and flavours. This includes hot and cold appetizers, sweet and savoury sides and of course, make sure someone (or everyone) brings wine!

4. Use gift tags to describe the dishes. I lay out gift tags and a sharpie; as friends arrive, I ask them to write down their name and the name of the dish. Not only does it help at the end of the evening when it comes time to pack off the leftovers, it reduces the inevitable "What is this?" question from fellow guests.

Cheers to potluck perfection! #SpendSmallGiveBig #ad
Instagram post 2194764560406110512_327607838 How do you like your nuggets? I love mine hot, crispy and with "plantiful" flavour! Introducing @lightlifefoods Plant-Based Nuggets, now available for a limited time at @awcanada restaurants in Ontario and BC. These delicious nuggets are made entirely from plant-based ingredients right here in Canada, including peas, wheat and fava beans. Packed with 17g of plant-based protein per 6-piece serving, they're fun to eat and fun to share! Of course, now comes the big question: are you dipping them in Honey Mustard, Barbecue, Sweet & Sour or Jalapeno Ranch? I say, all four! Pop into your local A&W to try them! #LightlifexAW #ad
Instagram post 2194042482895765300_327607838 Experiences, not things. This holiday season, I’ve been focused on gifting experiences that can be shared with my loved ones. From adults-only travel adventures to one-on-one special time with each of my little guys, I’m convinced that the gift of time is the most priceless gift of all. Recently, I had an opportunity to enjoy a Priceless Experience with @mastercardca in one of their Priceless Cities, Miami. We sat at the executive chef's table at @three_wynwood and feasted on a tasting menu curated especially for Mastercard cardholders who book this experience. Visit my blog for all the details on our incredible date night, and information on how you can gift a Priceless Experience to a loved one this holiday season. #StartSomethingPriceless #ad
Instagram post 2192946946914561554_327607838 Each year, since the boys were very young, we've had a tradition: we head to @walmartcanada to choose a piece of holiday decor that gives them joy. It's usually an ornament, candle or stocking holder, but this year, Ryder and Reid both selected Nutcracker figurines. I love seeing the house filled with their beloved choices year after year. And since Walmart has so many seasonal goods at low prices, we never have to break the bank to create lasting memories. Because I always shop with my Walmart Rewards Mastercard, I was able to use my Walmart Rewards Dollars to pay for Ryder's Nutcracker figurine and got it for free! You can't put a price tag on holiday happiness, but our little tradition allows us to spend small and give big—exactly what the season is all about.

Instagram post 2192587720832841284_327607838 “Frinter!" ❄️ You know, the season where it's not *so* cold that you're cursing mother nature and you're still enjoying the crunch of colourful leaves underfoot. I'm ready for all the elements in my @UNIQLOCanada #HybridDown Ultra Warm Short Coat. It's actually UNIQLO’s warmest down outerwear! Filled with down and AIRTECH technology on the outside, I love that the non-quilted design reduces the bulk and gives a smooth, modern silhouette. #UNIQLOCanada #LifeWear #ad
Instagram post 2191865205067970587_327607838 It's time to Spark a Miracle! Here's a simple and rewarding way to #SpendSmallGiveBig this holiday season: when you purchase any toy for $20 or more at Walmart or online at Walmart.ca from December 3-8, @walmartcanada will donate $1 to Children’s Miracle Network, in support of @cmn_canada hospitals across Canada! You can also make a donation throughout the month of December in-store or online at Walmart.ca. My friend @extrasparklesplease and I think it's the perfect time to tackle our holiday shopping list, and hope we've inspired you to help #SparkAMiracle, too! #ad
Instagram post 2190201001911235541_327607838 *AD Blonde on the outside, but brunette at heart! ♥️ It doesn’t end there... although I’m in my 40’s, I’ll be forever 30 on the inside. Do you see yourself this way, too? Recently, I’ve found myself wondering if there was a way to align the way I look with the way I feel. Back in June I attended Beauty Decoded Live, an event by @JuvedermCanada. There, I learned about the science behind MD Codes and their role in addressing the emotional attributes of beauty, directly from Dr. Mauricio de Maio, *the* authority on cosmetic dermatology. How did the evening affect my views on facial fillers? Visit my blog to read my thoughts before, during and after the event. #JuvedermCanada #BeautyDecoded
