The B-Ready stroller also offers 12 different seating options, a large storage basket and quick-fold design for families on-the-go. With the capabilities to be used as a single or double stroller, and available as a travel system, B-Ready G3 delivers comfort that little ones deserve and versatility for growing families.

The stroller is suitable for newborns when used with the infant car seat, bassinet or second seat (sold separately), and can be used for children 6 months old and up to 55 lbs. using the stroller’s top seat (included).
