We've had this combo for about a year and although i love the looks of it ( ours us red) we chose it because of its lightwight and safety rates.
Everything comes with a price, because the stroller is so light and somehow compact (the two front wheels are together and act like one) there is not much storage underneath . We bought the cup holder accessory and that works well. The basket underneath is small and only holds up to 10 lb. Maneuvering the combo (stroller +carseat) with one hand can be difficult at times and it tends to tip a little to the sides. We have a dog and it took a bit of practice to walk her and the baby together. Not a deal breaker, but worth mentioning.
Without the carseat, the stroller is also great (and more stable). Very easy to maneuver even with one hand (walking the dog). It lays down flat and is well ventilated. I wish it would go straight up more, because my daughter holds onto the bar to see out because the upright position of the stroller is "not upright enough" for her. The bar was also bought separate.
Another thing worth mentioning is that all the accessories (cup holder, bar/tray for the stroller etc.) is sold a la cart.
The stroller is very light! Easy to fold ( just push a botton on the side and pull the handle) easy to oper as well. Although this is not a jogging stroller, it has shockers on the wheels and you can walk fast and even run with it (cautiously).
I dont like the porous rubber on the handle. Although comfortable to hold onto, im concern about its cleanliness. Its hard to clean that type of material and i find that porous things are great for bacterial growth, again not a deal breaker.
For the caraseat, it is great, but it does tend to make the baby hot! Its structure is solid but the nylon type fabric does not ventilate very well and my daughter gets very hot in there. When she was big enough, we removed the extra paddding to creaddle the baby's body. That helped a bit, but it was still hot. Again, not a deal breaker, but something to considere if you live in a hot climate.
This system is highly rated for is safety and i think safety overrules everything else when it comes to my child, but i thought it would be helpfull to point out some of the "not so great" aspects of this combo. Despite my observations, I'd still recommend this combo to anyone in the market for an easy to handle, lightweight, great looking and most of all safe system!

I researched stroller/car seats extensively before ordering this. I got mine a couple months ago and absolutely LOVE it!! I bought the foldable double cup holder and child tray to go with it. I also bought a mommy hook for multiple shopping bags. The cargo basket below holds my medium/large JJ Cole diaper bag just fine and the cup holder holds my coffee, water bottle, wallet, keys, phone, and a binky no problem. I also love how light it is and easy to fold up. I can fit it in the back of our truck with the third row seat in just fine. This is also super easy to maneuver around, I can easily move and turn it one handed. Lastly it seems to have a nice smooth ride for our walks/jogs. I would definitely recommend buying this!Best Deals for Britax B-Agile and B-Safe Travel System
We bought this travel system and extra base for our first child this August. Overall, I think it's a great product, not perfect, but I'm happy with our purchase. Our experience has some pros and cons:PROS:
The carseat snaps in the base and stroller effortlessly.
Extra bases come in handy.
The base is one of the easiest to latch in your vehicle according to my friends that use other brands. I didn't know we had a LATCH system until the nurse helped us install the carseat properly. It's so easy.
Stroller maneuvers great! Wheel locks keep it from moving, period. It's a very smooth ride for our baby.
Plenty cover from sunshine and rain when locked in the stroller.
CONS:
The carseat is very heavy with a child in it. It's 9 lbs 8 oz by itself. I recommend using the stroller whenever you can. My daughter is 13 pounds now and it has become more difficult maneuvering the seat out of the base. My husband has no problem, however. I thought I'd build more strength in my arms carrying her and the carseat around but I didn't count on being so exhausted.
We drive a 2013 Ford Explorer and our seats constantly hit the carseat moving it around and blocking the release. This doesn't happen in my friend's GMC Acadia. We have to lean over the carseat to pull the release then wiggle it out. We obviously don't have as much room as some other vehicles. This isn't the fault of the manufacturer but something to consider.
You do have to simultaneously pull up on each side of the seat to remove from stroller, making it impossible to get a better grip on the seat; you just have to bring it in the car like that. It is a little awkward but I haven't dropped her yet.
The right strap on the carseat constantly twists and tangles! I'm not sure why it's just that side.
Baby gets hot hot hot! I'm going to get a breathable liner for it. She justs sweats so easily.
Limited storage space below. I received a Mommy Hook at my shower that makes carrying purses, diapers bags, or shopping bags easier.
I'm happy with the travel system despite the cons. It was easy to get the 3 pieces together and I knew after using it a few times I would know what accessories I needed (most definitely a cup holder or the organizer). It is a bit pricey compared to other brands but I felt this was a very safe one to go with. I'm sure others may come with larger, more accessorized strollers. In hindsight, it may be better to get just the carseat and base alone and then a universal stroller, but I still love pushing this stroller around. Read your instructions thoroughly! It took me forever to figure out how to loosen the straps and open the stroller when I actually started using it.
