Product Description
The Vigour from Britax is compatible with the Britax Companion Infant Carrier (sold separately) to create a sleek and urban travel system. Using an easy Click & Go method, it makes moving from car to stroller simple by just clicking the infant carrier onto the lightweight aluminum stroller frame.
As your child grows, the removable Vigour seating unit, made of durable denier fabrics, can easily attach in either a forward or rear-facing position. The stroller conveniently folds flat with the seating unit attached; for an even more compact fold, remove the seating unit.
Unique to the Vigour are four-wheel stability with 12" pneumatic tires, all-wheel suspension and one-touch dual rear brakes. Vigour also features a five-point harness with three shoulder-height positions, reflective piping for added safety, a removable sun canopy and arm bar, adjustable handle, infinite recline positions, and an oversized storage basket for necessities.

Excellent quality, excellent performance
By Anonymous
At 1/3 the price of the similar Bugaboo Frog, the Britax Vigour stroller is tough to beat.The wheels are large, and the front wheels have spring shock absorbers, making walks with baby on cracked sidewalks a breeze. It's very maneuverable, and rolls silky smooth. Rolls easily on grass, too, for those trips to the park.The seat is comfortably padded, can face forwards or rearwards, and has an ingenious "infinite adjustment" to tilt the seat very precisely at any angle. The 5-point harness, with two height adjustments, holds the child securely. The seat is very easy to add and remove from the stroller.There is adequate storage under the seat, with waterproof plastic on the bottom for those rainy days.The construction is impressive, and the unit is very well made. It even came with a portable air pump for the rear tires.The minor drawbacks are that the sunshade is on the small side (could have used another 6 inches of coverage), and the unit is not light. However, it's not light, because it's made out of metal instead of cheap plastic.None of these drawbacks are a big deal, and I would but it again tomorrow. It's a great stroller.It's age-rated for "6 months and up" but we put our 15lb 3-month-old in there with no problems. She loves the smooth ride, and since the shock absorbers soak up bumpy pavement, the baby sleeps uninterrupted on walks.There is also a bassinet sold in England, which could be ordered.We're very happy with this unit.

The sports car of the stroller world
By L. A. Dye
This stroller reminds me of a old Porsche I once owned. No frills, lightweight, no cup holders, but performs very well.Pricey=yes, you did not expect all of the above at a bargain price, did you?The unit came packaged well as most Britax items that we have owned. We used this initially as a convertible car seat as the Britax Companion infant seat snaps out of the SUV and right into this unit. Everything worked great and both units attached themselves with no issues with only two simple pull levers.Once our little baby grew out of the infant seat we switched over to a Britax Marathan (highly recommend) car seat and these do not snap into strollers (due to weight and size) and we had to use the included baby seat for this stroller. This is our largest complaint as the baby seat that comes with this stroller is as simple as a cloth bucket seat. The cover has very poor sun coverage and we find ourselves often placing a towel over the top to prevent the sun from hitting our baby's face while outside.The cover just does not go up enough to do it's job unless the sun is behind the stroller. There are also no provisions for snapping on additional blankets, covers,etc to extend this protection.Now the seat can attach either front facing or rear facing which is convenient and is very lightweight. The unit also folds down with ease for easy storage or travel. While fully open we can easily pop it into the rear of a Lexus GX470 without collapsing it. SUV's or cars with shorter ceiling heights will need to collapse the unit which only takes seconds and then this unit is only 12 inches tall.The unit can also collapse with the seat attached which is convenient but and then is around 20" tall.Large oversize wheels add to the stability of the unit while adding an aggressive look to the stroller.There is a basket down below for storing a bag and is sizable enough to carry a diaper bag +whatever you need for one baby.There are no cup holders though which can come in handy during outings. Aftermarket units are available.Comfort wise the seat is very well made though a bit thin. This does two things; 1) Does not get as hot as other baby stroller seats which is a plus, 2) Does not offer as much cushion as other strollers. So ,it is a trade off of one or the other which requires Mom and Dad to decide which is more important.Would be purchase it again? For an infant convertible stroller-yes. As a baby stroller using it's included baby seat=iffy.RecommendationsAdd further sun protection to this unit. Even if it was a snap on blanket to cover the entire unit for sun protection. This would really add to an otherwise great stroller.Add 2 cupholders-would not impede on the weight of this stroller.PROSVery modern,sleek. Well made aluminum stroller. SEXY!Very lightNice convertible stroller for Britax car seatsFolds down very flatReal air inflated tires for a great rideFront wheels lock easily with oversized locking tabsPlenty of bottom storage for one babyCONSPrice-but you get what you pay for. Pay for a Chebbie and you get a Chevy. :)Very poor sun control cover=our largest complaint.No cupholdersLee A. DyeSimi Valley,CA.

By M. Bassett
After spending a ridiculous amount of time researching strollers, I decided to go with the Britax Vigour. I love this stroller!!!Pros: Safe. Turns on a dime. Sturdy construction. Smooth ride for baby. Great looking. $500 less than a Bugaboo system. Works great for tall parents. Quick and compact fold. Great travel system with the Britax Companion car seat... just, click and go. Easy for a mom to lift in and out of a truck or hatch-back. One piece handle-bar allows for one-hand steering (sorry, Peg Perego ... but, two handles just aren't practical). Nice (but, not flat) recline for baby. Seat can be positioned to face parent or the world.Cons: The sunshade is way TOO small and offers virtually no protection for baby. I attached an after-market shade to the stroller to reduce glare, but I would have preferred a bigger shade. The seat is a bit small, so my daughter may outgrow the Vigour by teh time she is a small toddler.My advice ... buy it!!!
