Our Analysis, Comparisons and Test Results

Comfort

Seven, scored from published specs and owner summaries. Owners mention good canopy coverage, and the Willow S infant seat is rated from 4 to 30 lb and up to 32 in. Beyond that the owner material is thin. Britax's own site carries no reviews, and the retailer summaries we read do not describe recline, padding or the ride over rough ground, so we kept this score cautious rather than guess in either direction.

Ease of use

Seven and a half. Retailer review summaries describe a stroller one person can assemble without help, and the Willow S seat comes with Britax's Alpine base. At 9.2 lb by Britax's figures, the carrier sits mid-pack for weight. Owners point out the seat is outgrown at 30 lb while the stroller keeps going to 50 lb, but that is true of most systems here. Little was said about transfers specifically.

Push & handling

Seven and a half, the second-best push score among the research-scored systems. Owners in retailer summaries describe stable, smooth handling, and the 23 lb frame helps on curbs and inclines. We would want long-form owner reviews before going higher, and we did not find any. Treat this as a reasonable expectation from the available evidence, which is thinner for this system than for any other here.

Fold & storage

Eight, the best fold score among the research-scored five. Britax lists the Brook+ at 23 lb with a one-step compact fold to 36 x 23.5 x 16 in, and owners call it light enough for one person to carry. The large cargo basket has no published weight rating, which stops this going higher. For a parent lifting a stroller into the car several times a day, the weight is the figure that counts.

Should You Buy the Britax Willow Brook S+ Travel System?

Buy it for this: 23 lb stroller that owners say one person can assemble and carry. Owners describe stable, smooth handling.

Go in knowing this: Thinnest owner evidence in this guide: retailer summaries only. Basket has no published weight rating.

Every travel system here was scored on the same four criteria, so the question is not which one is good. It is which one suits what you will do with it most days.
