We got the new car seat and stroller for the Baby yesterday!! I am super excited about it. I was actually a little emotional when we sold our old stroller, but ever since Ryan put the new one together last night, I have just been pumped about the new one. I really did like our old one, but I wanted a double stroller because we do plan on #4. And when Britax launched a sale on the B-Ready and the car seat, I could not pass it up. Britax NEVER has sales. I had to take advantage of it. I should have taken pictures of it when they were set up, but Ryan took everything apart before I thought of it. I was SUPER impressed - he managed to get the stroller back into its box - and was able to close it! That is really hard to do. So below are the pictures from the Britax website of what we got. The color is awesome.

The new car seat:

The new stroller (the color is actually the color of the car seat, it looks dull on this picture for some reason):
The stroller has the capability of 14 different combinations, involving just the car seat, just the regular seat, the car seat and regular seat, two car seats, the car seat and second seat, and the regular seat and the second seat. Should take care of any future needs with two small kids. I really wished I had had this when Jared and Ayda were small, but you just don't realize how great doubles are until you need one! Hence why I picked a single stroller when I was pregnant with Jared. Of course, this type of double stroller wasn't available at that point either.
I was a little hesitant about it at first, because it does have 4 tires vs 3, and they aren't air-filled. So jogging with it is sort of not an option. But I do have the chariot, which is a great jogging stroller if I need to take one or some kids with me. And ultimately, I hate jogging with a stroller anyway, so I probably won't take any kids with my jogging, unless absolutely necessary! And this one steers so nicely, still has big back tires and those various combos that will meet every possible need as the two youngest grow up won me over! And when Ryan put it together, I fell in love with it! Even he was super-impressed with it!
And the car seat has the rebound bar on the base, which is the newest safety feature from Britax. They are so far ahead in extra-safe equipment. Love it.
Love it all!! 16 weeks tomorrow... :)
