Britax Preview Stroller

Date Published: 7/31/07

The Britax Preview Stroller is a lightweight umbrella stroller that features an aluminum frame and weighs just over 17 pounds. It has a five-point harness that we find easy to adjust without the straps becoming tangled, and a four-position reclining seat. The stroller seat is roomy and large enough to accommodate children up to 40 pounds. The Preview Stroller also is compatible with the Britax Companion Infant Car Seat; when used together, the two products transform into a travel system.

We like the Preview's adjustable footrest, which is an unusual feature for most umbrella/convenience strollers. The model does appear to give a comfortable ride, thanks to its all-wheel suspension and a lushly padded seat.

The Preview Stroller has a removable parent bag and a bottle holder. However, we find the under-seat storage compartment difficult to use while the seat is reclined.

Perhaps the stroller's best feature is its compact fold. It is not only easy to fold and unfold, but it collapses into a slim and manageable bundle for transport or storage.

If you're looking for the comfort and style offered by full-size Britax strollers, you may want to keep shopping, especially since the Preview's handles don't adjust. But for parents seeking a convenience stroller that offers more bang for the buck, the Britax Preview Stroller is a safe bet.


Pros: More padding than most convenience strollers, folds compactly
Cons: Storage basket is difficult to access, canopy could be larger

Warranty
1 year, limited
