Pros and cons
Pros
+ Easy to maneuver
+ Light to push
+ Versatile configurations
+ Can expand into tandem
+ Large basket
+ Affordable price
Cons
– Tandem configuration is very tight
– Seat is not fully reclineable
– Extendable shopping basket can touch the ground if you have a lot of shopping
Bottom line
The Britax Flexx is a highly versatile travel system stroller that can be configured 12 different ways, which comes into play if you are trying to carry two children on your pram. Steering one is easy – it feels a whole lot lighter than it actually is.
Turning it into a tandem is where it shines but it also falls down – all of the different setups are great but some of the positions are compromised either in space to get in and out, or encroach on the storage basket. Plus, you have to fork out for the bassinet and additional seat, which makes the stroller fairly dear.
In this crowded part of the market, the Babybee Rover 2019 is the better value pick as it can also go into tandem mode and has the bassinet included for a cheaper price.
Why you would buy it:
You want a highly versatile single-to-tandem travel system that is expandable and easy to steer.
