Ease of use, comfort and convenience
Seat and harness
The B-agile double stroller features seats that recline independent of each other. Recline is achieved by pulling the recline adjuster release lever and sliding it away from the seat till you are satisfied or you come to the end of the strap. It is pretty easy to recline and bring chair back to a more upright position. The seats don’t seat all the way up so it might be difficult for a child who is interested in their environment to enjoy the ride. Both seats contain five point harnesses that are easy to put on and remove. Both shoulder and waist straps adjust with ease too.
Folding and unfolding
This stroller folds in two steps that are relatively easy. First you need to press the frame release button and then lift on the frame release straps in the middle of the seats until the seats collapses and the chassis lock engages.
Unfolding is very easy and require the release of the chassis lock and lifting on the handle untiled the frame locks in an upright position. B-agile double stroller does not fold compactly so it might be a struggle fitting it into the trunk of a small car. On the plus side, the frame is some what lightweight, so lifting this stroller is not too bad.
Canopy and handlebar
It features a large canopy with ventilation for keeping your children cool. When the car seat is installed, it unfortunately gets in the way of the canopy so you can only depend on the canopy of the car seat to protect your infant.
The handlebar is adjustable for height and thus makes this stroller comfortable for parents of a wide range of heights.
Wheels
The b-agile double stroller features double wheels on each side of the front of this stroller. This wheels swivel and in combination to the bigger rear wheels help this stroller maneuver easily. All wheels have a suspension system that makes the ride in this stroller smooth. In addition to the suspension system, the front wheel lock feature makes riding on rough terrain smoother and safer. This stroller might not work well on gravel if rocks get caught up between the wheels.
Storage
The b-agile double stroller has a big storage underneath that is a little hard to access from behind. It has a zippered access in front of the stroller that is easy to access if you dont have a toddle on the seat, otherwise, you will need them to lift their feet so you can reach the basket.
This basket can take a diaper bag and some supplies for you and the kids.
Travel system
This stroller can convert into a travel system by receiving a britax infant car seat. It is ok to use this stroller for infants as long as they are in a car seat. Each seat can carry up to 50 pounds for a total of 100 pounds for the whole stroller.
The B-agile double stroller can only receives one car seat and is therefore not the best stroller for twins except in the case of toddlers who can seat directly in the stroller seat. The stroller comes with click and go car seat receivers that install properly only on the right seat so for safety reasons, car seats should only be installed on the right seat.
The car seat is always rear facing. The click and go receivers should be removed before folding this stroller.
Set up
This stroller is pretty easy to install because you only have to attach the wheels and canopies. There are plenty of pictures to help with the set up process and each manual features a single language.
