Britax B-Agile owners

I am selling my Joovy Scooter tomorrow (after only 6 months of use..errrghh) and looking to replace it. I need a decent sized basket, child tray or ability to add one as an accessory and I need the stroller to be the right size to take to malls and shops as that would be its primary use. I have a Baby Jogger City Elite for walks, park, other outdoorsy things..

After doing some research I think the Britax B-Agile may work for me. My only concern is that it may be too big for stores? No where near me sells Britax strollers so I would have to order it sight unseen, just like I did with the Joovy (which I hate with a passion). So B-Agile owners, do you find it easy to maneuver in stores and tight spaces? If you don't, do you have any suggestions of a stroller that may work for me? Thanks!

I had the bagile and loved it. Used it at stores, the mall and on walks. Great stroller, but I wished I could remove the fabric seat to wash it.

The only store I have had any issue with my b agile is Gymboree, and it wasn't terrible, just a bit snug. I love my stroller.

Just used my B-agile for the first time today at the mall.  Loved it!  Turns on a dime and easy to guide.  I do wish the basket underneath was a little bigger but that's the only negative thing I can say so far.

This. Its a great stroller and it isn't too wide at all. its about 20 inches from wheel to wheel.

Gymboree is the worst. So small.

I love my B-Agile. I too wish the basket was a little larger but I bought a parent console from BRU and it has a middle and two cup holders so I don't really need too much room.

Love the B-Agile! Not too big for stores at all. The bottom basket is a little small for me but I bought some 'mommy hooks' to put on the handle and I hang my diapers bag and shopping bags there. 

Great stroller!

Can you at least fit a large purse in the basket?

The basket is small, but I can usually shove a lot in there if I do it from the side (small diaper bag, jackets for DD and me, and a few small packages). I also have a mommy hook for the handle which is great for shopping bags. There is also a zippered pouch on the back of the seat. I usually keep wipes and diapers in there so I don't have to keep pulling my diaper bag out of the basket. I have tried both the Diono Buggy Buddy and the Britax stroller organizer and they both work great on the B-Agile. The cup holder that Britax makes that attaches to the side of the stroller is junk. Don't waste your money on that.

yeah. I can fit my large Skip Hop Duo Tote in there, with room on the sides. its much easier to access if you do it from the side of the stroller instead of the back.

I love the B-agile.  I am able to take it anywhere and love the fact that I can maneuver with it one-handed.  Yeah the basket underneath is pretty small.

Do I *need* the Britax organizer on the back?  It holds cups and stuff, yes?

I have the organizer and it is nice for walks to have your water bottle, cell phone, keys, etc handy and not go digging for anything. We walk all over so I can avoid a purse/pockets and such. I  think it's worth it, I didn't go long without it. I love my stroller.
