Britax Flexx
Verified56 reviews
Lightweight and functional – This pram is easy to fold up and manoeuvre one handed. Compared to other leading prams, it is not the best on Rocky/ rough surfaces but it can definitely handle them with its amount of suspension. The wheels are hard so you do not need to worry about getting a flat tyre. I have had this pram since 2018 and it was a great purchase for my growing family. Show details · 1
Do not buy Britax products! – You've been warned! Britax made the worst strollers, I bought flexx stroller and its causes a lot of problems (the wheel gets stuck, unlock mechanism is broken and etc) Almost lost my fingertip by crushing. Ambulance and fire rescue came to cut stroller to let my finger out. They send me a "brand new" 2nd hand stroller from another customer and… Read more
its worse than flexx stroller due to bad engineering design, the Wheel rubbing with the frame, the front swirl wheel always getting stuck and couldn't to go over uneven surfaces. I chucked this stroller in the bin. Also, they won't pay my ambulance fees because it's my fault! it was already broken and I had no choice but to put my fingers under the seat to unlock it. My sister-in-law has this brand and she already complaining about it. The $25 stroller from Kmart is 10x much better than all Britax strollers. Don't waste your money on an overpriced stroller and you will feel like you pushing 100kg baby due to bad engineering design.
Britax Flexx Convertable Stroller – Overall fairly lightweight and seems comfy inside BUT bassinet attachment awkward to take off and caught my fingers on the sides multiple times. The faux leather on the belly bar and handlebar is peeling off and falling in on top of my baby which is a choking hazard. The wheels have completely disintegrated and unfortunately don’t have a receipt… Read more
or warranty as I purchased second hand off a friend. Her baby has just turned 3 so the pram isn’t particularly old or anything. Extremely disappointed with the quality at almost $1000 new.
I guess there’s a reason why they’ve discontinued this product.

Good quality for price point – I've enjoyed using this pram for the past 2 years (from newborn to 2+ year old). Positives: easy to manoeuvre, lightweight, nice looking. Easy to fold in one movement. Good size storage at base. Son has been extremely happy and comfortable in the seat (hated the bassinet). It's travelled throughout Europe with us and is still going strong after… Read more · 1
many cobblestoned walks. Negatives: Bought this with the intention of it being used as tandem when we have a second child, but the small in-seat canopy (see pictures) is not removable and my son is too tall for this section (side photo at 21 months, front photo at 22 months). The bag storage at the bottom is a little awkwardly shaped (the velcro tabs pull the back of the storage basket downwards a little) and floppy. Could have had better suspension for rough surfaces.
Overall: I've been satisfied with this pram and have really given it a good workout living day-to-day without a car, and in an apartment with stair access to the building which I had to lift the pram up and down the front stairs each day (by the handle, which is NOT recommended - but can say that the pram has survived this treatment regardless). I was happy with the quality for the price during a 20% off sale. Not sure if I would feel the same if it had been full price.

A wheel fell off and i cut my hand! – I have had multiple issues with this pram. From fairly early on, one of the wheels kept falling off and had to be completely replaced. As well as this a steel cable within the pram frame frayed; becoming exposed at the handle. I cut my hand on this cable. Both repairs happened under warranty so once I produced evidence of purchase to britax I… Read more
had to drive to brookvale (from Penrith) to have the pram repaired as no “loan pram” was available. I was assured this would be the fastest way to get my pram back. It took several weeks.
A year later and we are expecting our second child. I’ve been advised that in order to use my Britax capsule and pram seat on the stroller I need to buy a whole new seat/tandem pack for $270. In the current climate we are in no position to afford this additional expense.
I regret this purchase the pram is not worth the money and has been fraught with issues. To date britax have not apologised for any inconvenience, dissatisfaction or injury caused by their product.

Space Craft Looking Wheels but LOVE the pram itself! – PROS: - Parent Facing and Forward Facing and very easy to change in a hurry. - Easy to get in and out of the car quickly. - Easy to fold up and put in the car, not as easy as some but definitely not hard. - Beautiful design. - Has bag holders on the handle! Great for shopping or even nappy bag. - Decent amount of storage space. - Lots of handle… Read more · 1
height settings. - Has a strap attached to the handle for a child to put hand through and hold while walking. - Can remove the seat and place a capsule, bassinet and also add a tandem seat and have many different ways of placing them (one of the main reasons I bought it but haven't yet had a second child to try with yet).
CONS: - Wheels look like something from out of space. - Any parts like the Capsule Adapter's, Tandem Seat and Bassinet are all sold separately and VERY over priced, I paid $40+ AUD for the capsule Adapter's when I paid $800 for the pram itself, $300-400 for the capsule then also had to pay $40+ for the Adapter's to be able to even use the capsule..... - Rain Cover is very small, you'd want to hope your child isn't scared of small spaces!
Overall we've had this pram for nearly two years, my 22 month old is still happy in it and still has lots of room to grow in it! The paint on the wheels is a bit scuffed now but besides that it's still in amazing condition and we used it with the capsule and the normal seat and still love it and plan on using it if or when we have a second child.
Great but not perfect – We have owned the britax flexx for over a Year now, and we think its a great mid price, safe pram. Its strong and light. Easy to steer, quiet and our darling has been comfirtable in it. The sun canopy extends which is fantastic for our climate in australia. Its wide enough for our darling to be comfortable as she grows (so far). Lockable wheels… Read more · 1
for going over sand etc, awesome. Very functional. My only gripe, well there is 2 the basket is poorly designed and annoying but i get why they made it that way, its flexible. Its great the pram doesnt lay completely flat, as if you have a reflux baby this would make it ideal for baby. We had bassinet extra as luckily our baby was not refluxy. The second is takes up a bit of room in boot but that is 99% of prams haha Reviews are just that, opinions. We are all different. Lady mentioned canopy isnt long enough but it fully extends down via a zip opening on the canopy, we have to crouch down to see our little one, haha. Thats just one example of how reviews are written by people who may not understand full operation of a product. I always say reviews are fine but your better off going and seeing the profuct yourself and really engage and learn how to use it properly, then make a decision. The only reviews i take on board are by choice. Best of luck

Good value for the money, – i use everyday for walk with my baby but notices after 3-4 months it started making weird noises from wheels.otherwise its a good size and easily fit in the car. . Show details · 1
Amazing pram, easy to set up, light, great manoeuvrability – Very glad that we purchased this pram+bassinet package, how easy was the set up! Less than 5 mins! Everything has been thought of to make it practical for the user, one hand turn, easy closures and opening and light weights. Highly recommend this pram. Show reply
Exactly what I was looking for – As a first-time mother, I decided to go in to a baby store to try out a few different strollers. A number of them veered sidewards like bung shopping trolleys which I immediately dismissed. However the Britax Flexx I found to be perfect. VERY easy and smooth to manoeuvre and steer. The stroller is lightweight and easy to assemble and collapse.… Read more · 1
Spacious and easy-to-access storage basket underneath. World- and parent-facing options. Exactly what I was looking for.
Negative reviews
Not the best pram I’ve owned ☹️ – Positives- light and easy to lift in and out of boot compared to some other prams. Comfortable seat for Bub. Negatives- basket is awkward and too small. I have so much trouble with my front wheels. One makes a clicking sound and it actually randomly falls off. UNSAFE!!! (Contacted Britax and place of purchase and was told I had to drive 3hrs to… Read more
return it so it could be assessed- not happy. A serious safety issue and they couldn’t even arrange a courier to collect)
Tandem mode looks tricky- will be getting a different tandem pram when needed. Looks as though no room for bag and no storage when second seat is on.

Horrible design – I bought this pram when I was expecting my second child. When putting on the second seat then bassinet you can only have the bassinet facing outwards and on top. It’s actually not even usable as the bassinet was so far into the second seat below that it was virtually hitting my toddler in the face and the seat had to be reclined all the way back… Read more
making my toddler lay down. I called britax and the lady I spoke to said it’s designed to have the second seat lying down to distribute the Weight so the pram doesn’t topple over. It’s extremely unsafe if that is the case and I haven’t even been able to use the pram with the problem of the seat hitting my toddler in the face. Worst design of a pram, do not recommend.

Great! – Love d design above all. I decided to get this pram as it comes w/ d bassinet w/c i was able to use for a long time(til now) its really sturdy n reliable on all terrains. my only concern was that d toddler seat canopy is flapping back all d time even after getting a replacement for it. not sure if its just me?cos my friend got d same pram n she was fine w/ it. Get this pram if u have big space in your car boot. overall still happy with my pram Show details

Easy ! – Absolutely amazing pram ! Have had mine for 2 years now and it still feels new ! It’s incredibly great to steer super smooth and a great turning circle. Super light also which makes it easy to pop in and out of the car , easy to dismantle but not too easy that you bump it and it folds . 100% recommend! Show details · 1
Perfect pram for our bubba! – Bought this pram just because I loved the wheels... so cute! After buying and now having used it for almost 8 months (2 months with the bassinet), I can easily say this is such an easy pram/stroller to handle. Love the sunshade, love the removable bar, love the incline adjusts, love everything about it :) Pretty effortless on uneven surfaces, easily maneuvered. Felt it was a little expensive initially... now it seems justifiable. Show details · 1
Usless pram in tandem mode – The pram as a single is wonderful however I purchased this as a tandem pack ....very unhappy with it!! The whole design as a tandem pram was not thought out properly at all!! Very hard to get the child in the bottom seat in and out and can be some what dangerous at times! The design has made it very awkward to hang a bag on handle whilst in… Read more
tandem mode as bottom seat stick out too far. The storage basket is useless in single and in tandem mode becomes a place for your child to put their feet. I advise against anyone purchasing this pram for tandem use

Love my Flexx – I love my britax Flexx. It is light enough that with a broken shoulder Im able to lift and fold it without assistance. I’ve used it as tandem with my 3yr old in the top and autistic 5yr old down the bottom. While they say up to 17kg, my 5yr old weighs around 22kg and I have no issues with him down there, only thing is he is just getting too tall.… Read more · 1
We will be using it with new baby come December so he will have to get out anyway. The sun shades are a great size, if you’re finding them too small, remember there is a zip to undo and extend them further :)
Wonderful everyday Pram – This is a very lightweight pram, it's easy to get into my car boot. I have a small hatchback car and it was the only pram that was compact, lightweight and came with a second seat unit for baby two. It's an awesome everyday pram to use, I love it. My baby is comfortable in the seat unit and falls asleep in it all the time no matter where we are. … Read more · 1
The wheels are great, I never have to worry about flat tires as the wheels don't need to be inflated. Highly recommend this pram.
Good double pram – I have had the pram for 9 months now i bought it for my 2 year old and newborn. Easy to use, stable and best of all is that it’s easy to configure seats in different positions to suit the situation (forward/backward facing combinations and also fully recline for the newborn or sleeping to upright). The price Included a rain cover too which is so… Read more · 1
handy if it was drizzling or threatening rain. Probably wouldn’t use it as a single as it’s more bulky than other singles but that came in handy if I was shopping with just the one kid and there was heaps of room for shopping with just a single seat. Good as a double though.
Good pram overall,with some changes could be great – After using it for 6 months i got good and some less good experience(used as single only) -lightweight and super easy to manoeuvre almost no pushing at all. -nice design and love how easy and simple can fix the seat in and can recline the seat. -With one hand and one click is up and running -pretty good on grass and gravel, no issues. -big… Read more · 1
bassinet Not so good: -Very poor design of the baggage area, can touch the ground if not properly fxed to the pram as well if extended it goes over the back wheels release button and with some heavy shopping puts pressure on that button which can make the wheel come off. Overall i still like it besides the baggage and im planning on using it as a double. Good pram for the money, could have been great though.
Regretful purchase! Baby very uncomfortable – I bought this pram as we need to replace a single pram with a double one soon. I've only used Flexx for a few week as a single pram so I cannot review its double pram functionality at this stage. There are good and bad things about it and to be honest I feel very frustrated now as I was expecting so much more after reading all these good… Read more

Good: -Easy to push, easy to manoeuvre.
- looks pretty elegant and its a lightweight pram too.
-The wheels are pretty good, not all terrain but ok for a short walk on the grass
Bad: -Very bad design of the seat. Even though it supposed to be suitable from birth (i.e. must lie flat), the seat DOES NOT RECLINE to a fully FLAT position. Moreover, it 's not good even a toddler. My 15 mo seems very uncomfortable in the so called "fully reclined position", with her bum and legs being on a much higher level than her body. It almost feels like she's lying in a gynecological chair, that's how terrible it looks! Her spine seems to be arching a lot in this position. I would hate to put a newborn in this seat without a bassinet! I absolutely hate the seat!
-The SUN Canopy is TOO SHORT! The sun is right in a child's face when she's asleep! This is so bad, especially considering we live in Australia where the UVF is so high. I have no idea why the Australian company didnt take this into consideration when designing the pram...
- Overall the pram feels a bit flimsy, I am not sure if it would be good for 2 kids, especially when they are a bit older.
I really regret buying it now.
We love our Britax car seat and we thought would also be happy with the pram but we were wrong. Don't waist your money!

Wheels started making noise only after 12 days of use – The pram looks good, have everything i needed and my baby also looks so comfortable in it.. but only after 12 days of use the wheels started making occasional squeaky noise.. and now it's a continuous issue. This is a quite expensive pram and this sort of performance is really disappointing. Very very upset with the purchase.

Great pram! – We've been using this pram for 6 months. It's lightweight like I wanted, it's got great suspension so it rides easy over bumps and it's easy to manoeuvre, a very smooth ride. We thought the bassinet was really easy to get on and off too and as well as the seat. Everything clips and unclips so easy with this pram. It was hard to decide what pram to buy as there are so many on the market but we are happy with our choice. Show reply
The best pram ever! – I did extensive research over a course of 6 months into all prams from top of the range to budget as i wasnt afraid to spend the money on a pram that met all or most of my needs. I visited the baby expo several times just for the prams, numerous baby shops, watched youtube videos and read review after review to find the perfect pram for us. This… Read more · 2
pram outdid the top of the line in terms of weight (lifting in and out of the car on my own), ease of use (set up and drop down), manouverability, looks, canopy cover, reversible seat, bassinet option and basket size. You can steer this pram with one finger, it is that light but the quality gives you the stability you need for peace of mind. Our baby is 12 days old and we've already had a few compliments on just the look of the pram alone - we bought the navy colour. I am so happy with this pram, I couldn't recommend it more - and baby loves being in it. We were also lucky enough to get the bassinet for free with the pram but we haven't used it yet. It's much bigger than we expected and she's a bit too tiny for it at the moment. The overnight sleeping option will be great for when we decide to head to hubby's parents in country NSW. Will save us getting a portacot for now. You won't regret this purchase!
The perfect stroller! – This pram is fantastic! We have been using it for nearly three months now, its very light weight and compact and fits everything we need with a newborn. Have recommended it to all our parents to be friends. The pram moves so smoothly on all surfaces and is very easy to manoeuvre. Our little bub loves to be pushed in the pram and for a fussy… Read more · 1
sleeper always manages to fall asleep in the pram so wouls say the suspension is great and its very comfortable for him.
We had to buy this for our baby girl – We already had a cheap second hand gumtree pram but while out someone walked past with one of these so we asked to have a closer look as decided to get one ourselves. Loads of room in the bag thing below for storage and the frame work is exelently made and well designed
Perfect for 1st time parents – Just love the quality and price is reasonable Best Buy so far and light and easy to assemble and carry.love the storage space holds more than I thought.my baby loves it as well. The rain over inclusively is a bonus. I highly recommend this product to new parents Show reply
Love it! – I chose this stroller because it was smaller than some of the other double ones and based on the price. It is lightweight and super easy to maneuver. The storage basket also holds more than I expected. Another reason I chose it was for the extendable canopy. This has be super handy with the winter sun being lower. It is easy to fold and… Read more · 1
put in the car and I can even leave my shopping in the basket which is great.
I miss having a peep window so I can see my baby when she is facing away but it’s not the end of the world. The wheels are really easy to remove so I also think it would be good to have an upgrade set of wheels available. Most other brands have air tyres so having a choice would be good. Again, not the end of the world though.
Overall I love this stroller and I’m so pleased I bought it. I would recommend this to anyone.
Excellent when raining – We bought this as we get lots of rain in our home town and wanted to make sure our Bub isn't good to get socking wet! It handles very well on all types of ground but handles better on road than foot paths. The cover is easy to use and fold away
Just a really good pram – Really easy to move around in, really easy to fold, also fits really nicely in my boot and doesn’t take up the whole space. I am really happy with my purchase after researching for prams for a while. Definitely would recommend to my friends and family. so happy with it Show reply
Great pram – This pram is excellent after going through 5 prams I found this to be the best. Easy to push and very easy to fold and throw into the boot. For the price the quality is impressive and I highly recommend this pram. Looks stylish and really does the job well. My son loves sitting in it and cant wait to get in everytime. Show reply
Great pram – After researching the market for the best double pram and having tried two other prams with my oldest child, we decided upon the Britax Flexx for our second child. I could not be happier with my Flexx. The pram is easy to manoeuvre and easy to fold, has a good seat recline for young babies and has plenty of space in the basket for shopping or nappy bags. We are extremely happy with this pram. Show reply
Convenient and easy to use pram for a good price – Being the first time parents, we needed an easy to use pram with an option to accommodate future baby for which flexx surved the purpose without flexing the budget. It's easy to fold, light weight yet strong and feels safe for the baby. Certainly happy with it and highly recommend it. Show reply
Great pram great price – Bought as a 2nd pram for the other car. Extremely light and portable, easy to manoeuvre and love the fabric choice. My only downside is it took me a bit to work out how to fold it and unfold it, but once I got the hang of it, it was fantastic. Show reply
What an amazing pram!! – This pram has been amazing! After owning a lot of different brands and style of prams this one hands down is my fav!!! It maneuvers with ease and can be folded down very quickly! It quick light so lifting it up to the car is easy! The quality is also amazing! Highly recommend this pram for all new mothers (and dads) Show reply
