I would say it is similar. The handles are at a great height. I don't have any trouble. The molded are just as comfy as the foam.......although we all know foam eventually falls off or gets torn, so the molded on the ignite will last longer.

I have a question.. We have the Indigo stroller.. but I want to buy an umbrella stroller because we can't lug the Indigo on the subway at all. The Indigo has a sunshade but it might as well not even be there.. the sun is always in my daughter's face and it is really bugging her. Do either one of these models have a sunshade that actually works? I think that is what will sway my decision the most. Also, the recline - how much do they actually recline? What would you say is the earliest a child will be OK to use these strollers?

I was wondering the handle comfort between the two? I have a standard umbrella stroller and other then the stroller being too short..the handles hurt my hands. But that could be because it's not the easiest to push.

I recently bought the Ignite stroller and have been using it for about a month. The handle height is comfortable (I am almost 5'10"), but the handle shape -- or hardness -- is not the best for me. I plan to purchase handle bar tape from a bike shop (or Amazon) to use on the stroller handles to give them some cushioning.

As i stated before. The ignite has a stationary shade, but it is a little bigger. the jet has one you can move and rotate but is smaller. We don't have a problem with our ignite, but our daughter is 2 and will just move is she wants to or ask for her sunglasses. The ignite recline about 5 inches, and the jet about 2 with a pull string cord. I would want my child to be at least 6 months for the ignite, probably a year for the jet.....less support on the back of the seat. I say the jet is more like an umbrella stroller seat wise with the fully movable shade, the ignite is more like your full size stroller seat and shade wise.I have pics of her in it reclined and sitting, but don't know where to post them??

Since you own them you would know --- Are you able to put a diaper bag over the bag of the handles without it tipping over when your child gets out? I have a McClaran (SP?) stroller that does this & it drives me nuts!

Our daughter is now two, so we don't carry one.....the most I have put on my ignite is a small toddler back back with a mobigo, and extra clothes over one handle, a drink in the holder and my purse on the other side .......and it doesn't tip.I was curious, I dug out a diaper bag and filled it up......neither stroller tipped! but I put the handle of my over the shoulder bag behind the parent tray so the bag laid against the crossbars of the back of the stroller.....

First time I got a damaged stroller - the shocks on one wheel didnt work - but it was replaced within the week. The second one is fine. No problems so far with wheels...

Hmmm, bumpy as in broken concrete, or bumpy as in a textured sidewalk? I would say no if it's broken concrete but yes to a textured sidewalk. Mine rides nice on walks down our dirt/gravel road. The stroller is made to take the rougher terrain, but my daughter definitely bobbles around in it (which I had hoped would not happen). She's 6 months old. I would not feel comfortable getting up to any speed when walking on our road due to the rough ride. I'm not sure of any stroller that would take that kind of beating (meaning the kiddo would be in for a smooth ride) unless it had some pretty serious suspension system under it:)

I'm looking to buy one. Such a good question but no one seems to know the answer. :(update: I think they are the same except one is more cheaply built. But which one?? Who knows...could be the higher priced one!

Yes and I returned mine... Worst stroller ever. I loved it for a few weeks then hated it. It scratches easy, cheaply made, the accessories are too expensive and my kids were never comfortable and the tires never say full of air. Buy the bob ... Way better!

Yes. We bought this stroller a few months back. Although it is BEAUTIFUL, I disagree with the responders below. It sucks having to put pressure down on the bar all the time to lift the wheel. My elbows, wrists and arms hurt after a while. We live in the Bay Area - lots of turns and twists on trails and streets. Will likely be selling this model VERY soon. Not happy. One bit.

This is going to sound stupid but i'll say it anyway. The front end of the stroller is so light that you can push down on the handle and lift the stroller off the ground while you jog. I do it all the time because of the wobbly non-lockable front wheel. I'm not fond of it. But it is what it is. Other than that, I think the stroller is a good one. Just can't have kids that are too big (about 4 yrs old is max) because the belts don't allow for large kids, nor is there much leg room. My 4 yr. old boy (sorta big for his size) and slightly tiny/thin 2-1/2 yr. old girl are shoulder-to-shoulder in the stroller. Good thing they don't fight too much.....

Mine works finally when I remove one of the little wheels that keep popping out. I suggest that you call Bright Start. They sent me a return label to return just the fabric seat, then they sent me a newel model which I have not put together yet, and was told that the newer model should be easier to rotate. I was told to keep everything else (the one that I initially received), so on the worst scenerio, I will end up with a set of toy that has no seat, but still usable when your baby turns toddler and play with it, and another one in the box which I hope works. They have good customer service.

Hi. Did you two purchase the stroller? If so, I'd love to hear how you rate the stroller? Is it worth the price? Has it held up well over time? Any annoyances? Good customer service? Thanks!

I have never used that stroller and I am also not a serious runner, but the front wheel on this doesn't swivel. I love my single bob which does swivel. It's light and moves well, but I would get the swivel.

I have used this stroller on very crooked/cracked sidewalks and the front wheels have never come apart. I go over bumps more slowly, tipping the stroller front up a little before going over the bump, so perhaps that's why it's never broken.

The front tire did not arrive with the package but they shipped it. So far I have not had problems but I think they are going to wear out in a shorter time than I anticipated. One thing, there are two settings for the wheels. For one, the wheels are allowed to move pretty freely (used in town or someplace where you make alot of turns). The second setting keeps the wheels basically locked forward (when out walking the dog basically straight). If the wheel is in the first setting when I walk the dog, the wheels wobble. I still love my "stroller" and so does my dog. If you are having a problem, call Pet Gear. They respond pretty quickly. The front tire did not arrive with the package but they shipped it.

I love mine. It is great to just snap the infant seat in and go. It is really easy to fold up and it rides really smooth. I can't compare to the city mini. The only thing is my son hated his infanct car seat so we really were only able to use this stroller for 2 months so you will need another stroller eventually

The GT is a different model, not just a newer version of this stroller. The GT has all-terrain wheels and an adjustable handle (maybe other differences, but those are the biggest). I think this one is easier to push one-handed, personally, and this still pushes across grass just fine (though I don't need it to do so often). Regarding the adjustable handlebar of the GT: I am 5'1 and my husband 5'10, and neither of us have a problem with the non-adjustable handlebar of this version. The GT just wasn't worth the extra money for us.

I live in warm and sunny Los Angeles so I may not be able to help you out here. However, I do take this stroller to the barn a lot -- and I noticed when the terrain is not smooth -- full of dirt, sand, etc., the wheels do get stuck because they're so tiny. From what I've been told, if you frequent a non-smooth terrain (like, snow), you may want to opt for the strollers with bigger wheels. That's my uneducated opinion. Good luck! :-)

We had this problem about a month after owning the stroller. It became like a bad shopping cart that you had to fight to push along! I called Britax and they sent a replacement wheel free of charge and that seemed to solve our problem.

Hi Our stroller is fine. Have you got the tyres evenly pumped up, or have you got a slow puncture in one of them. Also are the wheels all properly locked in place. If none of this works look at the stroller from ground level to make sure the frame is straight. Ours only pulled to one side when we had a puncture in one of the tyres, once this was mended we had no further trouble. Hope this all helps in some way.
