Q&A: Stroller

Sep 23, 2011

I am very interested to know the details on how you worked out such a great price on your Britax B-ready stroller. I’ve been interested in that stroller also, but I didn’t want to pay so much for it. Please also keep us posted on how you like it once you start using it. I have a 20 month old and a 12 month old, so I’m curious to know how it works out.

Unfortunately, the deal we took advantage of is no longer active but here is how it worked:

Dave found a deal where you apply for the Chase/Southwest Rapid Rewards credit card and you get 50k points (which equates to $500 in Amazon Gift Cards) for that promotion.

Then, Amazon was running a deal on the Britax B-Ready strollers where you buy the stroller and get the second seat for FREE (there were actually several stroller accessories you could chose from). The second seat is about $115 on Amazon. Amazon had the cheapest price for the stroller. Amazon’s price is $398, whereas retail price for the stroller is $499.

All that combined, and we only paid $100 for the stroller, car seat adapter and the second seat.

These deals come up on www.slickdeals.net at least once a month. The 50k and even 75k deals are bound to come up again. Dave checks that site once a day because they also alert you to great deals on diapers and wipes whenever they come up. It also helps you gauge what you should really be paying for things.

This site is offering the Britax B-Ready stroller plus the second seat for FREE for $398.99 (regular price is $649.98)!! The silver and red strollers are still in stock as I am writing this. Act fast because it is showing some strollers out of stock already! (This is why I am posting this today instead of waiting until Monday!) There are also deals there where you buy the stroller and then get the car seat or bassinet for free.

.The Britax B-Ready stroller is a perfect fit for us!!

We took the stroller to the Town Center on Sunday. I used it again when I took Little Bug to Tumbling Class this week.

Little Bug LOVES that seat. It is like she thinks that seat is special or something. First time she got in the stroller she did NOT want to get out!

I was a little afraid the view from down there would be blocked and she wouldn’t be able to see much, but she can see just fine.

The stroller is easy to open and the car seat adapter and second seat are very easy to attach to the stroller. (I have to take both off. It is too heavy to lift otherwise. They literally pop off and on, so it is not a big deal at all.)

I could fit the diaper bag and Little Bug’s backpack in the storage area and Little Bug still had plenty of room for her feet.

The diaper bag was easy to access when it was feeding time.

It was SO easy to push the stroller and the ride is so smooth.

I think I will use the set up you see in the picture above until Sweet Pea is ready to move out of the car seat while in the stroller. When that time comes I think Little Bug will get the top seat and Sweet Pea the lower seat (unless Big Sister doesn’t mind ridding down there still).

Great find!
