Britax B-Lite V2
The new Britax B-Lite was released at the end of 2017 and is based on the older version of the minimalistic umbrella strollers B-Lite. The second generation of the B-Lite with a single handlebar is easy to manoeuver and can be folded one handed. Free-standing fold helps when the storage space is tight. The carry strap enables you to carry the stroller easily. You can also purchase a carry bag to protect the strollers on travels. Small, swivel wheels, low weight, and compact fold make the B-Lite an ideal stroller for city walks and travels.
The seat is not suitable for children unable to sit independently because it does not recline flat. However, the seat is spacious enough for bigger, older children. The stroller is ready for hot summer days because of the hood with side mesh ventilation panels, rear removable part, and UPF. You can also use the B-Lite from birth with an optional soft carrycot or with a car seat with adapters.
