Britax Affinity
The Britax Affinity is the first version of the luxurious model replaced by the Affinity 2 in 2016. The chassis has a specific wavy design and a shaped leatherette handle. The wheels with typical spokes have soft suspension. The bucket seat is suitable for children from about 6 months of age. Newborn insert makes the seat suitable even for a smaller baby. You can also buy a carrycot or a car seat, or a complete stroller system.
You can personalize the Affinity completely. The chassis is available in silver, white and black. The gray seat has to be completed with a separately purchased Color Pack - a hood, harness pads, a seat liner and a basket insert in the chosen color. The security system offers protection against theft thanks to the unique code for each piece.

Parent reviews of the Britax Affinity
- All was awesome
- Small canopy. I have nothing else
Amazing! Great seating area for the baby, reclining bucket seat (best for me), big inflatable rear wheels, easy to operate.. This stroller is TOP.
- light weight
- easy and quick to fold
- adjustable
- faces both directions
- bucket seating style
- I know no cons
The best... :-)
- Option to turn the seat to face the parent
- One of the few pushchairs with leg rest positioning
- Small seating space
- Despite suspension on both front and rear wheels, it can't handle rough terrain
- Front wheels are not inflatable
- Short canopy
- The colour set is washable but the seat is not
I was not happy with this stroller.
- Quality design
- Easy steering
- Price
I was very happy with the stroller. My daughter was also happy in it. It reclines easily for sleeping without me having to move my daughter.
- quality German brand
- small and compact
- plenty of storage space in the lower part of the chassis
- seat part usable also for child that doesn't sit by itself yet
- seat part faces both forward and rearward
- used in moderate terrain, so far without defect
- interchangeable coloured covers
- unsuitable for winter because of the lack of zippered cover on the top (blowing, raining, snowing into it)
- in the harsher terrain, it rattles
- positioning of the seat part is tiring, in cold weather it freezes and gets stuck
- the apron on the seat part is impractical and was unused
We needed a small and compact stroller for our small lift and small car and it fulfilled this purpose, but otherwise I would have chosen a larger type.
- Compact for a small car
- Extended canopy
- Narrow seat
Smaller pushchair, more suitable for the city.
- Compact
- Pretty
- The hood jumps upwards at times
We bought the stroller as a beautiful limited edition Jungle Boogie in 2015. We are now carrying our third child in it and it is still holding up. We are quite straining it and still. We are happy with it. It's a 3 in 1 set and it is pretty compact.
- Nice design
- Solid, not fading brown fabric
- Compact, easy to handle
- It is not cushioned, so after 1 child the chassis is completely loose and rattly
- Small bassinet and small seat that cannot be put in flat position
I would not recommend and would not buy this stroller again.
We were satisfied with the stroller. It handled any terrain - like climbing up multiple mounatin. Maximum satisfaction.
It was only beautiful, otherwise quite small. The front wheels are small, the seat unit narrow.
Your questions about the Britax Affinity
Why was the Britax Affinity discontinued in 2016? Saw one in a resale shop and I don’t want to purchase it if there’s a problem.
Hi, Ro,
There wasn't a problem really, they just came up with the second generation, Affinity 2. If the price is very very good, then go for it (just watch out about the smaller seat size), and be sure to check the plastics as time can take a toll on those.
