Reducing the Challenges and Hassles of Traveling with Little Ones!



Earlier this year I had a chance to visit the US Headquarters of Britax, and one of the most memorable parts of the trip was a crash test safety demo, I had seen something similar on a news documentary program, but actually seeing it up close and personal and literally 'feeling' the impact in my gut was one of the most impactful parts of my trip. Even though it was a crash test family of 'dummies',  a collective gasp and many 'Ay Dios!' or 'Ay Bendito's' ('Oh my God! and Poor Thing! respectively) could be heard by the bloggers watching that crash test demo. I don't think any of us, myself especially will ever forget it.

It made me think of child safety in a whole new way and the factory tour on the whole also opened up my eyes on what safety feaures to look for when it comes to infant carseats as well as strollers. They really aren't all created equal, in terms of more than just style, but safety features and ease of use. (I know the cliche gets annoying sometimes, but you really do get what you pay for!)

I will admit my sister butterflies did a great deal of research for my niece and nephew butterflies based on what was available to them at the time, but their consistent complaints about the systems they used was that the systems didn't necessarily grow with the child, and that as a result travel had it hassles (Me being the youngest butterfly in the family I get the benefits of their trial and error coupled with my own research!). Spending much of my professional career traveling, I witness families fumbling with their strollers at airport TSA Security Checkpoints all the time and of course upon boarding an airplane where they have tons of folks behind them while we patiently wait for them to fold their stroller and get situated.

There has to be a better way!




Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Travel System Compatible Infant Car Seats BRITAX infant car seats can be used rear facing only from 4 to 30 pounds, and are travel system compatible with the BRITAX CHAPERONE and B-Series strollers. (What happens past 30 pounds? Glad you asked! BRITAX also offers Convertible Car Seats for a weight up to 70 pounds and Standing Height 49 in or less, a Combination Harness-2-Booster with a weight of 25 to 85 pounds and Standing Height from 30 to 65 in tall as well as Belt-Positioning Booster Seats with a Weight from 40 to 120 pounds and a Standing Height from 38 to 63 in tall. (So the safety does NOT end at 30 pounds my friends!)

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Travel System Compatible Strollers The BRITAX range has flexible and comfortable stroller solutions to suit your lifestyle. Strollers feature the CLICK and GO system that enables all BRITAX infant car seats to click into place to create convenient travel systems.

Safety You Can SEE:

Not only is there a website, www.britaxusa.com/safetyyoucansee, there is also a video:






My Take:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Travel System Compatible Infant Car Seats + Travel System Compatible Strollers with CLICK & GO = LESS HASSLE, LESS STRESS, FUN TRAVEL. That simple!

Butterflies, BRITAX takes your child's safety as seriously as you do, they want their systems to be safe and easy to use, take one less hassle out of travel and invest in a system that won't let you down!

Britax B-Agile Double Stroller!



Did you know my *Daddy Butterfly* was a twin? Twins run on BOTH sides of my family so I already know what could happen when I'm ready to take the motherhood plunge (and by when I probably mean IF, LOL). There is a very high probability of me having twins. Thankfully the prospect is a little less scary thanks to Britax's new B-Agile Double Stroller!

The B-AGILE DOUBLE STROLLER, is the company’s first stroller to offer side-by-side seats. The light-weight double stroller offers the same quick-fold design and great maneuverability that made the single B-AGILE a top seller, but now with capacity for two children (appropriate from birth to up to 50 pounds per seat), making it an ideal solution for those families traveling with multiples.



BENEFITS:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Seats are 11.5 inches wide

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - The seat backs are 18 inches

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - From the back of seats to the top of the canopies is 26 inches

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - There is a 10 inch leg drop. It is from where the seat breaks to where the children rest their feet
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - 2 removable infant headrests

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - 50 lbs. capacity per seat (100 lbs. total for the strollerr)

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - One touch buckle making it much easier to unbuckle the harness than previous B-Agile models

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Padded 5-point harness that is adjustable through the back of the seat

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Each seat has its own independent recline feature. The seat will always have a slight recline even in the most upright position

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - 2 large, full coverage canopies. The canopies are independent and each has a mesh peek-a-boo window.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Adjustable handle. At its normal position the handle is 41 inches (waist high), it can be adjusted to 31 inches if desired.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Front wheel suspension. It absorbs many of the bumps to ensure child comfort.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Weighs only 28 lbs.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - CLICK and GO integrated adapter system makes it compatible with both the Britax B-Safe and Britax Chaperone infant car seats! Which is totally cool. Please note: only one car seat can be utilized at a time.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - 2 large zippered pockets located on the back of each seat - can easily fit toys, a diaper bag and MORE!

You can purchase it on Amazon or any of your preferred Baby Retailers, just don't forget to maximize your spending dollar and join the Britax Registry Rewards program!

MY TAKE:

Traveling with Multiples is enough of a challenge, if you can find a product that takes child safety as well as YOUR convenience in mind, it makes your life that much easier! Think of it as investment for both your children's safety and your peace of mind!

Any Multiple Mom Butterflies out there who have tried this stroller out already? Please weigh in and let us know what you think!
