The Britax B-Smart 4 is a four-wheel stroller - a variation of the B-Dual for only one child. The B-Smart has been designed for city life. The larger wheels can handle even slightly rougher conditions. The reversible seat is located higher. You can recline it flat. For the smallest ones, you can add a carrycot or a car seat, or buy it in a set.

parents say thx^^

Good

3
  • Superb canopy
  • Seat
  • Appearance-wise, I'm not too impressed

Price and quality are comparable. For me a good stroller.

Heavy pram with small space

3
  • quality padding and quality workmanship
  • narrower width for children
  • weird system of reclining the backrest
  • heavy wheels, but it does not cross the terrain
  • basket broke
  • high height of stroller - unnecessary
  • the canopy has a mesh and through it shines on the child - too big

Heavy pram with small space - we had it as a replacement pram for a short time. I would not recommend it.

  • Design
  • Price
  • Extendable hood on the seat unit
  • Backrest, leg rest adjustable to a full lay-flat
  • Accessories
  • \Hard\" ride"
  • Wheels full of little stones and gravel

I had a 2in1 set with a carrycot. It was very practical, but the ride was not soft at all.

Easy to push

5

A great pushchair; easy to push.

Your questions about the Britax B-Smart 4

1)

Can you put a car seat onto the pushchair?

Hello there, yes, you can click any Britax-Romer car seat even without any extra adapters. If you are planning on their own car seat brand, there are also Britax Car Seat Adapter for Cybex, Nuna, Joie and Maxi-Cosi car seats available - look for Britax adapters compatible with the Click & Go system on one side and Maxi-Cosi type of attachment on the other (like these: https://www.amazon.com/Britax-Infant-Adapter-Cybex-Seats/dp/B071YP8LPS).
