What it does well
- One-hand fold with a carry strap and carry handle
- Adapter is only $24.99
- Fold is 10.25 in deep
- Takes Britax infant seats, which the $30-cheaper Juniper does not
What it gives up
- Only Britax infant seats are named
- 1-year warranty, half of Britax's full-size strollers
- No child weight limit on the page, so seat life is hard to judge
