The Britax Blink Stroller is a lightweight Britax stroller for parents on the go. With its heavy-duty construction and superior safety, Blink is loaded with smart features designed to make life as a parent a little easier.
Standout Features
- Five-point harness to keep your child secure
- All-wheel suspension for a smooth ride
- Practical storage pouch for frequently used items (keys, wallet, phone, etc.)
- Portable carry strap ideal for airport travel with children and carry-on luggage
- Clever fold release mechanism that protects the tops of your shoes and feet
- One-foot, linked rear brake to help you quickly load and unload your precious cargo on any surface or incline
Benefits for You: Finally, a compact umbrella stroller with some meat on its bones! While technically lightweight at under 20 lbs, the Britax Blink Stroller is a few pounds heavier than your traditional umbrella stroller. The extra weight comes from steel components that make this Britax stroller sturdier than most umbrella strollers.
Easy to load in-and-out of the trunk, the Britax Blink is perfect for quick trips to the grocery store and doesn't take up too much cargo room on longer excursions.
A zippered storage pouch behind the seat offers a secure spot to house personal items.
Folding and unfolding the stroller is seamless. To unfold, simply unlock the chassis, shake the stroller open, and step on the large footpad to lock it in place - you're ready to roll. And folding is just as easy. Use the carry strap to release the hinge lock, step down on the frame release pedal, and fold the stroller forward.
Benefits for Baby: Sit back and enjoy a smooth ride. The Britax Blink glides effortlessly through crowded stores and sidewalks, with full-size comfort in a compact package.
With its Layback Recline with Adjustable Leg Rest feature, you can quickly create a comfortable, customized sleeping position for your child while you continue on.
And its oversized canopy and visor offers excellent sanctuary from wind, rain and harmful UV rays.
Comparison: If you'd like a full-featured, car-seat compatible Britax stroller, check out the Britax Chaperone Stroller. The Chaperone stroller accepts a single infant car seat and features cupholders for both mom and baby.
If you like the umbrella stroller convenience of the Blink, check out the Maclaren Techno XLR. The Techno XLR weighs about the same as a Blink and folds up mighty small. The XLR is car seat compatible, but it does cost a little more.

Really nice stroller
-Reclined (the Chicco Ct 0.6 hardly recline at all) - Had a carry strap ( I need my hands free w/ 2 girls in NYC) -Folded and Locked easily (locking the Chicco Ct 0.6 was very difficult) - Easy to maneuver -Lightweight but would not tip over when I had the diaper bag on the handles and took my daughter out of the stroller.
The Blink met all this criteria. My 18 month old daughter really likes it too. She climbs in it and says "Outside!" Because it reclines back pretty far and has an adjustable footrest, the first time using it she napped in it for 1 1/2 hours! The maximum she EVER napped in the Chicco Ct 0.6 was 45 minutes. I recently had carpal tunnel surgery on my wrist and I am able to push The Blink w/ one hand. My husband is 6ft tall and likes the handle height and his feet do not kick the wheels while pushing The Blink.
The Cons:
-No cup holder (however very few umbrella strollers have them) -When folding the stroller and hinge covers are on, you need to give an extra push to get the chassis lock to connect . -Rain cover not included - The wheels do not stay in the locked position when the stroller is folded. Therefore, if you wish to lean the stroller upright against a wall you need to flip it upside down and balance it on its handles
I purchased The Blink on sale and got it for a GREAT price. It is definitely worth what I paid for it! Overall, I am quite pleased with this purchase and service. Accessories I Recommend: Rain cover
