Almost all parents are aware that for the first few weeks of baby's life that baby ought to travel absolutely flat where possible, especially if they're premature. Nevertheless, most carrycots are soft sided and not really ideal for car use. The brand new complete Britax B-Smart travel system can often be brought without its soft-sided carrycot, but if you need it, you can also add the Baby-Safe Sleeper that is especially helpful for premature babies.
So what would be the options with the innovative Britax travel systems? Firstly, you will have the Britax B Smart-3 or B Smart-4 pushchairs that can be obtained separately or as part of a complete travel system. The key difference is in the amount of wheels, with the B Smart-3, unsurprisingly having three wheels and the B Smart-4 with four wheels. The B-Smart may be the identity provided with regard to the UK market, but if you are in the US, the equivalent will be the 4 wheeled Britax B-Ready Stroller or the 3 wheeled Britax B-Scene Baby stroller.
The B-Smart 3 as well as B-Smart 4 3-in-1 Britax Travel Systems include the B-Smart 3 pushchair, the Baby-safe Plus SHR II along with a soft-sided carrycot. In case you don't have a newborn baby, you also have a choice of just buying the push chair and child car seat. There's a nice range of colours, such as venetian red and purple rain, blue and of course, the obligatory black.
The B-Smart pushchairs are lightweight and versatile with comfortable padded and removable seats. You may also use the seat forward or rear facing (great when they're really young). The seat has the benefit of a multi-position recline facility including a lay-flat one. With the integrated Click & Go adaptors, you can convert the pushchair easily into a travel system and also add the Baby-Safe sleeper if you wish. There is a simple, compact fold with the automatic lock and quick release wheels to allow for convenient storage. You will find it is manoeuvrable because of the lockable front swivel wheels that have puncture resistant tyres and a press on and off brake system. A tremendous help for some would be the adjustable handle height to protect your back.
Moving on, the Baby-Safe Plus SHR II car seat. The car seat shares many of the same comfort and safety features found in the Baby-Safe Plus II which makes it a perfect first car seat for your newborn. There is outstanding side impact protection, padded side wings and a 5 point harness. The recline system enables you to put your little one in a flatter position that is often more comfortable for a very small baby to lie in. The adjustable head rest and harness makes it well suited for growing or larger babies as well. You can install the seat making use of your cars normal three point belt system, using the Baby-Safe belted base or the Baby-Safe isofix base (recommended).
The soft sided carrycot completes this unique release of the Britax travel systems. It is suitable from birth to six months and will attach securely and easily using the Click'n Go system. There is also D rings fitted under the mattress so that you can use different harnesses (these must comply with BS 6684) if you wish).
The Baby-Safe Sleeper is essential if you have a premature baby since it gives a completely lay-flat system. It will slot in your car or on the pushchair base easily, and with its hard sides and 'roll bar' effect once the handle is up, provides the ultimate protection. The energy absorbing inner surface provides all over body protective zone around baby once the handle is up. The newborn protector can give additional support for really small babies while keeping them flat and secure at all times.
Finally, on the Which Magazine tests, the Britax B-Smart 3 wheeled version of the pushchair scored 4/5 for convenience, handling and comfort to push. Not perfect, but not bad either! Make sure you do your own research and read all the reviews before buying the Britax B-Smart travel system. It's cheaper than the Bugaboo range but with the travel system coming in around 400 and the pushchair by itself for about 240 (cheapest I can find), it is mid price for this type of system and it's obviously too early to get it second-hand.
