Save up to $70 (20%) The Vigour is the best stroller offering yet from Britax : a travel-system ready stroller with sleek design elements and a long list of parent-friendly conveniences. Part of a new movement toward what could be dubbed the "beefed up" travel system, the overall configuration of the Vigour resembles the hip, adaptable urban travel systems offered by Bugaboo and Micralite . To its advantage, the Vigour has a much lower cost and a number of features that set it apart from the strollers offered by those brands. For starters, the Vigour is fully compatible with the top-rated and reviewed Britax Companion infant car seat -making the Vigour a complete travel system that is useful from your child's infancy. It has many now-standard stroller features such as an adjustable handlebar, plenty of storage, and a one-step braking mechanism. What sets the Vigour apart from its closest competitors is its "infinite" recline settings that can go from upright to a full recline (or anywhere in between); the reversible seat; the option to fix the front wheels forward; and the fact that (unlike a Bugaboo ) you can fold it with the seat still attached. Thanks to the Vigour's all-wheel suspension system and big back tires, it's safe to presume that you'll always get a smooth ride. The Bottom Line: The Britax Vigour is part of a growing movement in stroller design that was sparked by the massive popularity of Bugaboo Strollers . The idea is rather simple: 12" air filled wheels in the rear and smaller swivel wheels in the front (the Vigour's front wheels are 7.1"). While this configuration does not make a stroller suitable for jogging, it does open up your strolling possibilities . . . making a wider range of terrains available than a simple umbrella stroller (which has no chance in the sand or snow) does. With large rear wheels you gain the additional benefit of shock absorption and all-terrain capability. Other strollers (like the Micralite Fastfold or EasyWalker ) with a 12" rear wheel and small front swivel wheels fold up tight and handle smoothly, and you can take them many more places than "standard" umbrella strollers like the Inglesina Zippy or Chicco Cortina . So how does the Vigour stack up? The Vigour is a high quality "beefed up" travel system stroller. Relative to a Bugaboo or Micralite FTS , the Vigour is much more affordable. You can 'click and go' with the Britax Companion carseat (perhaps the best infant seat on the market) right out of the box. No adaptors or straps needed. It does not have a bassinet accessory, if that's important to you. The Vigour's major drawback is the limited weight capacity (only 40lbs.) and a relatively high weight for the stroller itself (29lbs.); so it's heavy, and you won't get year after year of use from it unless you have another baby. Overall, the Vigour is a safe, affordable option for anyone seeking a multi-use travel system stroller that can take you anywhe
