We bought the Britax B-Agile R as a second stroller to our original 3ni1 stroller system. We wanted a compact stroller under 250 EUR for traveling - we go up and down the country, do a lot of road trips, and I didn't want the stroller to take up my entire suitcase.
So we measured carefully; the stroller fits nicely in half of the trunk and the other half can fit 2 other large travel bags, a small suitcase, and we can even fit a scooter, bike seat, and hiking carrier on top. So in that respect it hasn't disappointed at all, although of course there are more compact strollers out there.
I was resigned to the fact that it's a tougher urban stroller, but it can handle grass, gravel, pebble paths, our broken sidewalks, even tile sidewalks. Of course, with such terrain you have to reckon with the fact that the front wheels can be heard, they rattle. I solved it a bit by putting rubber rings on there, although you can still hear it - but not so much that I'm ashamed :)
The stroller is good, easy to handle, folds well. It's lightweight, I have no problem carrying and carrying it.
I very much welcome the extended canopy that goes up to the handle. There are mesh parts on the sides, some people may not like that - I like the air flowing inside.
It is spacious; my 1.5 year old daughter often sleeps in it. I reckon the size and of course the carrying capacity will definitely last up to 3 years, even longer.
The rain cover is also well designed - if you want to keep the window open, there's a velcro to hold it up. Maybe it's a small thing, but I was pleasantly surprised, it's not on my 1st stroller and I miss it quite a bit.
The basket is quite roomy, I didn't buy a changing bag.
The disappointment for me was the suspension. It says it is sprung, but mechanical suspension = no suspension for me. But anyone who is more familiar with strollers won't be surprised. This makes it harder to go out on the curb (compared to more sprung strollers).
The leatherette handle and carry handle give it a touch of coolness.
For me, it's a good roomy stroller with good rubber wheels but lacking suspension. It meets our needs - I've even grown so fond of it that we don't just carry it as a travel stroller, but also on a regular basis for walks or into town. In fact, I don't even use the 1st stroller anymore.
