Our Review of the Britax Preview stroller
The new Britax Preview Stroller is pretty much what you'd expect from Britax - safe, well-engineered, stylish, and designed to maximize both safety and convenience. The Preview is a great infant stroller - plus, it works with a Britax Companion infant seat as a complete infant travel system. (When the infant car seat is removed from its base in the car, it can be easily attached to the frame of the Preview stroller.) There are plenty of useful features found in this infant stroller, including the Fold-Eze locking fold-down mechanism and an adjustable-recline seat. The removable storage pack is a useful and convenient extra touch that parents will appreciate. As always, Britax has used high quality materials throughout, from the oval-tube anodized aluminum frame to the stain-resistant, reflective-trimmed fabrics.
In a nutshell, the Britax Preview is a top-quality infant stroller. I'd mainly recommend it to parents what want to use it with the popular Companion infant seat, as well as to parents who appreciate the stylish European-flavored design.
Note: The Britax Preview Stroller is ONLY compatible with the Britax Companion Infant Car Seat. No other infant car seat will work with this stroller.

Sturdy, easy to use
Reviewer: PenelopeRB , Boulder, CO
Date: September 17, 2007
We've used this stroller with the Britax Companion infant seat for the past year. The stroller/seat combination makes getting around easy. Now that the baby is a toddler we use the stroller by itself fairly often. Pluses- easy to use (I can put it in the car one handed if need be), sturdy, pretty good wheels. Minus - the biggest minus is the minimal sun/weather coverage provided by the canopy. When we need to be out in the Colorado sun I tend to use our BOB stroller instead. I purchased a cup holder separately. The storage compartment isn't big enough for a diaper bag, but it is big enough for our needs, including some diapers, blanket, water, and small purchases from errands. I tend to hang my bags from the handles. The stroller stays quite stable. We've traveled by air and gate-checked the stroller several times. No hassles! Just remember to lock the wheels and fasten the side strap.

Great buy, Love it!

I purchased this stroller and the infant seat almost seven months ago and wanted to see how they worked with some time before I wrote my review. As with our Britax Marathon this stroller and infant seat met and exceeded every expectation I had. I can't see why you would invest in any other product considering the safety Britax provides for your children. The stroller is light weight and folds easily. The infant seat is secured easily into the stroller and the two together are well balanced and a breeze to push. No cup holder but I don't buy strollers to push around my drinks.

Good for infants, not as good for toddlers
Reviewer: Anonymous , Moss Beach, CA

This stroller worked very well with the Companion car seat -- I used it every day to take my daughter to day care when she was an infant. It seems well made and is fairly maneuverable, and the fabric is easy to clean. Downsides are: (1) The seat is too slippery and not angled enough for little ones to sit up in easily once they are old enough to sit up in the stroller (six months or so) -- they kind of slide down and the straps hold them in, and the straps can't be adjusted to fit tightly on a very small baby, so it doesn't seem that comfortable. (2) Very little storage space on the bottom of the stroller. (3) Britax doesn't offer much in the way of accessories, including rain covers. The baby will stay dry when in her car seat in the stroller, but not when sitting up in the stroller.

Britax Preview Stroller
Reviewer: Anonymous , Arroyo Grande, CA

I am very pleased with the stroller. It is very easy to attach/detach the compatible infant carseat to and is easy to fold and store. I find it to be very convenient and lite. I am very petite and it is easy to manuever. It is also great because your child will grow into the stroller so no need to purchase another one as he/she gets bigger. I highly recommend.

Good for small cars
Reviewer: Anonymous , Florida

I love the wide seat and it turns and folds up easily. It fits easily into the trunk of my tiny Hyundai Accent. The added zip on diaper bag is wonderful too but..the basket is very small and I can't fit anything in it, no cup holders or tray.

Britax Stroller
Reviewer: Anonymous , West Palm Beach, Florida
Date: June 23, 2006
I purchased the Britax Preview Stroller. I am very satisfied with the product. It is light weight, easy to open and close, easy to operate.
I have two items that would have been great to have; a cup holder and longer arm extensions. My husband is very tall and cannot push this stroller very easily and there is no place to put a bottle of water while walking the baby.
I am also very happy with the combination car seat. Overall i am very pleased with the stroller, car seat combo.

nice good bargain

we were looking for a stroller to fit the companion - It took britax too much time to get the stroller on the market - but finaly it is here in our living room. It looks as a spohisticated version of the too pricy McClaren Techno.
The guideline dooes not explain well how to install the Canoopy - but other wise - the best value for the price - or in Fact just a good stroller

Great Stoller
Reviewer: Anonymous , texas
Date: October 27, 2005
This is a great stroller. It is not too big, yet has tons more room for my son than the graco quattro tour stroller that we have. I love that the leg rest is adjustable so that when he sleeps it is more like a bed. His feet don't dangle. I would highly suggest this stroller. Great Price also!

Disappointed - Returning it
Reviewer: Jodi , Fort Worth, Texas
Date: October 27, 2005
I ordered this stroller because I have also ordered the Britax Companion car seat and wanted the convenience of being able to snap the car seat into the stroller. I received the stroller last week and have decided that a few months of convenience is not worth keeping a stroller I don't like at all. This stroller has a few good points, but is missing the majority of features that make strollers so handy. I am very disappointed and am returning it. I bought the Jeep Urban Terrain stroller yesterday instead - same price with tons more features.
Pros:
- stylish, light weight, sturdy, not as bulky as a full size stroller when open, tall enough for my 5-11 height
Cons:
- no parent tray or cup holder, no child tray or cup holder, bar in front of child is pretty much permanent - doesn't snap open for easy in and out, basket underneath is not very big, seat recline takes two hands, folding/unfolding procedure is not one handed, could be a little taller to be comfortable for my husband's 6-4 height
