User-Friendly Design That Grows with Your Child
The Vigour is made with both your and your child's comfort and convenience in mind. First, to keep up with growth spurts, the removable seating unit, made of durable denier fabrics, conveniently attaches in either a forward or rear-facing position. While traveling, the easy-to-use, five-point harness keeps your child safe and secure. In addition, the stroller also conveniently folds flat with the seating unit attached; for an even more compact fold, you have the option of removing the seating unit.

Four Wheel Stability for a Smooth Ride
Your busy day and your child's curiosity can take you in a multitude of different directions--from around the park to the mall. That's why the Vigour boasts four swiveling and locking wheels with 12-inch pneumatic tires that can handle a wide variety of different terrain with ease. All-wheel suspension keeps things steady, and the dual rear brakes operate with just one quick touch should you need to make a sudden stop.

Comfort and Convenience
The Vigour gives your child a truly comfortable ride, thanks to the plush, ergonomic seating area with leg rest and removable arm bar. Infinite recline positions ensure that your child can lean back while napping or sit up to see the world--all at an angle that's perfect for him or her.

The generous over-sized storage basket is ideal for holding toys, snacks and extra clothes. The removable canopy is great for protecting baby's tender skin on sunny days, and the reflective piping ensures that on-coming vehicles and pedestrians can see your child, even in low-light conditions. The Vigour weighs just 29 pounds and measures 36.25 x 25.25 x 44 inches (WxHxD). It comes with a limited 1-year limited warranty.

The Vigour is also available in the following colors: Blue/Tan, Aqua/Black, and Plum/Tan. It is compatible with the following Britax Companion Infant Car Seats: Onyx, Black/Tan, Unity Blue, Plum/Tan, and Aqua/Black.

This review is from: Britax Vigour Stroller, Black (Baby Product)

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.

This review is from: Britax Vigour Stroller in Blue (Baby Product)

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.
Recommendations

Add 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.

PROS
Very modern,sleek. Well made aluminum stroller. SEXY!
Very light
Nice convertible stroller for Britax car seats
Folds down very flat
Real air inflated tires for a great ride
Front wheels lock easily with oversized locking tabs
Plenty of bottom storage for one baby

CONS
Price-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 cupholders

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Stroller EVER!!!, April 21, 2008

This review is from: Britax Vigour Stroller, Black (Baby Product)

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!!!
