Britax B-Clever

The simple, ventilated urban street-facer
.eli
see 3 parent reviews

The Britax B-Clever is a simple, urban pushchair that is made for the city. What makes it stand out from the crowd a bit is not only the reasonable price and the nice seat space but also the extra ventilation in the seat sides as well as in the seat back – the side mesh parts can be opened and closed as needed (the so-called 'Cool Flow fabric').

Although equipped with all-wheel suspension, the shock-absorbing is just mild and the B-Clever definitely is not an all-terrain stroller. The seat also doesn't recline fully, but the recline is definitely OK for children 6 months and up. The B-Clever, however, does offer a from-birth travel system option with some Britax car seats. More advantages of the B-Clever also include the 22 kg/50 lbs weight capacity and the one-handed folding system.

parents say thx^^

Simple, but works fine around shops

4
  • easy fold
  • easy push on smooth surfaces
  • not for off road
  • on the bulkier side for a lightweight stroller

Simple, but it works fine around shops and so on. Nice fold, just not as compact as I would have liked.

I would not pick the same again,

2
  • spacious seat
  • a lot of mesh/ventilation
  • nice basket, although could be sturdier
  • one-hand fold
  • self-stands after folding
  • no bumper bar
  • very little suspension
  • no extending the canopy
  • no UV filter in the fabrics
  • foam handlebar
  • very low handle, not for tall people
  • rattly front wheels
  • no lie-flat
  • no leg-rest adjustment
  • the materials feel a bit cheap

I think I would not pick the same again, but for a toddler occasional stroller, it works. Watch out, as it is not the best choice for tall parents, as the field handle is a bit too low.

The colour faded into a different colour completely (black to green).
