Britax Strider M
.eli
The Britax Strider M is a re-imagined version of an older Strider Plus model from Britax. The end-of-2021/start-of-2022 release clocking at 10 kg (whole pushchair) is a very lightweight reversible option from birth. Compatible with a (rather basic) padded carrycot, reversible true lie-flat seat unit, and a Britax car seat, the Strider M is similar in functionality to the competing Cybex Balios S while in a design similar to the more all-terrain Britax Smile III.
Apart from the low weight, the greatest advantages of the Strider M include a high, 22kg weight capacity (a 22kg child will, however, not fit in the seat, size-wise); central and front-wheel shock-absorbers; a height-adjustable leatherette pushbar with a dirt protector; and a n easily accessible, roomy storage basket.

Parent reviews of the Britax Strider M
- looks!
- fabrics
- large basket
- nice canopy
- lie flat seat
- PU leather details
- spacious
- looser frame
- wheels not great for terrain
- tall hubby's kicking the frame from time to time
I like the design, the looks caught my eye. Also, the weight is awesome. The stroller is, still (unfortunately), not too compact, and also it is not suitable for terrain at all. I would recommend this for city mums mostly around shops and better sidewalks. I am not sure how it's going to last as the frame is not sturdy much, it feels on the looser side.
Lovely, but rattly. Loving the higher-up seat.
