Britax Gravity II

The autofolding, wide-seat ultra-compact
.eli
see 1 parent review

The Britax Gravity II is a luxurious-looking travel stroller that auto-folds in the dimensions that fit the overhead compartment on a plane (always check the dimensions with your airline!). It also offers a 36 cm wide world-facing seat as well as a lie-flat seatback reclined with a lever, and individually, one-handedly inclinable leg rest.

The extendable canopy boasts a ventilation mesh zip-off part, a sun visor, and UPF protection. You'll also like the eco-leather elements on the handle as well as a bumper bar. The Gravity II buggy is compatible with the Britax B-Safe 35 Infant car seat carrier to create a from-birth travel system (needing adapters).

The Britax Gravity II is mainly made and sold on Asian markets (Singapore, Malaysia, etc.).

parents say thx^^
  • Canopy
  • Fabrics
  • Seatback
  • Ventilation
  • Autofold
  • Legrest
  • Small basket
  • Small wheels
  • Not much for terrain

Nice long backrest for the size of the stroller. The leg rest is on the shorter side, tho. Not a bad push, a luxurious look, and the autofold are very practical when you're holding a child in your hands.

Your questions about the Britax Gravity II

1)

Hi,

I’m contemplating between the Britax Gravity 2 and the Chicco Goody Plus. My son is 12 months old now. I wanted to get something for everyday use. Trying to find one that provide comfort yet not big. And most importantly not too pricey. Can you help me with that?

Heya, Eva,

For everyday use, I am afraid you'll find the buggies a bit too small. If I had to choose here, however, because of the nice wheels and enough space to the top of the hood, I would probably pick the Chicco Goody+ (full Goody stroller review here, btw). It is so because of the Britax wheels being rather rattly on bumps, and because I fit a 4yo into the Goody seat. Do count on simpler buggy with ultra-compacts, though, and don't expect such performance a larger stroller would offer.
