The Britax B-Dual – A Review
The Britax double is the latest addition to the Britax range and coming from the makers of some of the safest and sturdiest infant carriers on the market they’ve got a lot to live up to with their first double buggy.
From initial appearances, the B-Dual is impressive. The sleek and minimalist chassis is ultra-modern and stylish. It has a t-shaped design, with an adjustable handlebar and the main seat has a high positioning, so you can stay in close contact with your little one and they get a good view of the world going by. From a practical view point there’s a really roomy and easy to reach shopping shelf underneath the pushchair seat.
The Britax double has a modular design so you get flexible travelling options – you can choose from the pushchair mode, with multiple seat reclines, right down to completely flat; pram mode, or travel system – simply by attaching either a car seat or carrycot unit to the chassis. Both the infant carrier and carrycot unit are very good quality; designed to high safety standards and thoughtfully created to offer a cosy and comfortable journey for baby. Their modern and slimline design is definitely in keeping with the chic styling of the buggy.
However, the biggest negative about the B-Dual, like many oher tandem pushchairs, is that the pram and travel system modes can only be used with one infant on board. The second seat unit can only be attached when the pram is in pushchair mode. So if you intend to use the buggy for a toddler and baby, you will only be able to use the rear seat for your infant.
As you’d expect from a quality stroller, the B-Dual has strong suspension, lockable swivel wheels and an adjustable calf support, so you get a comfortable and bump-free ride and a nice little feature is the puncture resistant tyres, giving you the benefits of pneumatic wheels, without the hassle of dealing with punctures.
The Britax B-Dual is very similar to the ever popular Phil and Teds inline pushchair design, except perhaps a little more modern and stylish. The tandem design with a removable second seat unit is a really clever and budget-friendly idea – ideal if you have an older toddler, who’s almost ready for walking and a new baby. Once your toddler is finished with the pushchair you can simply remove the second seat and use the pushchair as a single buggy for your baby. Everything considered the B-Dual is definitely a worthwhile investment; a well designed versatile and flexible tandem that could quite possibly be the only double buggy, or even single pushchair, you ever need!
