Britax B-Motion 4
The Britax B-Motion 4 is a four-wheel stroller with a non-reversible seat. You can also choose the more versatile three-wheel version, known as the Britax B-Motion 3. The B-Motion is heavier than the strollers of the lower B-Agile series, however, it is also more spacious and can handle even a rougher terrain thanks to the air-filled tires with suspension. You can adjust the handle by rotating it. Folding is very fast and requires only one hand. The mechanism of harness adjustment is also one-handed. The seat is slightly reclined even in the upright position. You can recline it flat. It is not possible to adjust the leg rest, you can however slightly push it upwards. Using the optional soft carrycot, a carrycot or a car seat you can create any desired set. It is also available as a complete stroller system.

Parent reviews of the Britax B-Motion 4
A very good pushchair. From the fourth month it carried our little one thanks to the fact that it can be put in full recline. It still serves us, and it was second hand. As a disadvantage I perceive its higher weight – in case you have even a larger, heavier child - it is then harder to handle.
It's hard for me to judge. We got this stroller as a second stroller that would be lower and the baby would climb in and out on his own - but our boy started walking and walking and walking at a year and a 1/2, so I rode with him about three times. From my standpoint, it's a fine stroller, a pushchair for both the outdoors and the city. But it is possible that I will refine the rating when my daughter grows into it :-D If it comes to it :-)
Really a stroller for all purpose use. It can handle all terrains, baby slept fine in it till three years old, super compact, too. For me, it had no imperfections.
- Small
- Light
- Easy to fold and unfold
- Fits anywhere
- Washable covers
- Adjustable parent handle
- Hard to push - very uncomfortable with one hand
- After a couple of months of use, the frame has become very loose and the stroller wobbles (no way to tighten it)
- The backrest positions are insufficient - in the highest setup the child still half lies down, I had to figure out how to put the child in a full sitting position with a strap behind the back
- The mesh canopy part is unusable - the sun shines on the baby in summer, so I covered it up
- And lastly, the legrest, although in the highest position, is still low and the baby slides down; plus the support bar broke with even minimal use. I had to buy a specially made foot board to make the feet level with the seat when napping
I enthusiastically bought the stroller because it came out as the best in the D-Test. Unfortunately, it's not that great. That's why 7 out of 10. It's not terrible, of course, but I would probably choose a different stroller now.
Great. The best stroller I could ask for. And it's been with us around the world.
- stable
- roomy
- easy to drive
- it is quite heavy
Perfect for us, my son loves it and I find it easy to use.
- Quite light
- Length and ventilation of the roof
- Good handling
- Easy folding
- In terrain, ok
- Predne kolesa male - s tym je spojene zle vchadzanie na obrubník
- Maly kosik
- Ziadne polohovanie noziciek
I use it already with my second child. All in all a good stroller, except for a few details.
- Practical pushchair
- Can withstand heavy load of shopping
- Ventilation window behind the head when lying down
- It will not pass through snow
- Cannot reverse the seat
I am happy with this stroller - except for minor reservations.
- Length
- Size and space
- Easily foldable, quickly foldable
- Doesn't take up much space
- Not suitable for forest paths
For me a great stroller - probably without any major reservations...
Seat unit is great. The only drawback is the sitting and lying adjustment, it often jams. I am satisfied.
Later we also bought a carrycot and it's fine, too. Smaller, but just right for a spring baby, without a footmuff. For me, also great.
Your questions about the Britax B-Motion 4
Hi!
Would you happen to know, if the Britax B-Motion 4 stroller is compatible with the Britax B-Agile 4 front winter wheels? I´m struggling to find an answer from anywhere or anyone. In the pictures online they look pretty much the same.
Best wishes, Jo from Finland
Hello, Jo,
We tried with just the usual (non-fixed) front wheels, and yes, the front axle of the Britax B-Motion and the Britax B-Agile lines is compatible with one and other wheels. It is not a perfect solution, but it can be clicked in, yes.
Fyi, even the rear wheels are compatible, but one needs to swap the internal axles (the small silver ones - to use the B-Motion type axles even with B-Agile wheels if on the B-Motion pushchair and vice versa) as well, otherwise the brake wouldn't work.
With this non-swivel axle, I never tried, but it makes sense it should be compatible. However, the thing is that the B-Agile terrain axle is EVA foam only, so it's going to be lower to the ground than the rear wheels with tires of the B-Motion.
There was, in fact, also a B-Motion fixed-wheels axle available in the past, but not anymore. Maybe it's worth checking in classifieds.
In any case, it should be compatible, yes, but it's not the best fit.
