How does this compare with the original one? Not sure which to get. Also, I have a Britax roundabout. Would the mini hold?

I have the old school plastic gogo babyz and this gogo babyz mini. The mini is so much better. The plastic one broke in the middle of the airport. The metal one is so much sturdier. I own a bunch of different car seats. I have yet to find one the mini cant handle. My Clek Foonf is one of the heaviest car seats on the market and the mini carries it just fine. I also had great luck with my Diono Radian and Rainer both weigh about 25 lbs. If you go on the Gogo Babyz web page they will tell you if your car seat is comparable. Good luck

I just checked the Gogo Babyz site and they said all Britax car seats are comparable BUT...." **For Britax Click Tight car seats you will need to purchase a longer strap here Select model NMTM"I hope that helps

It should fit. I was able to put the Baby Jogger City Mini GT inside. The Baby Jogger City Mini GT is larger than the City Mini; the City Mini is about the same size as the Britax B-Agile.

The boulevard has more safety features. You can compare on the britax website.

I have a Britax B-Safe and I use the adapter to mount on a BabyJogger City Mini GT and they sit pretty solid. I was worried that it might tip over but not a problem at all. In fact, we hung a rather heavy bag filled with baby stuff at the end of the push bar of the stroller while going out and the stroller was still fine. I guess partly because the baby jogger City Mini GT was a little heavy to begin with so might've provided a solid base. Hope this helps.

Try the Britax Boulevard. The depth of the seat in the Marathon is shorter than the Roundabout. My son is average size, almost three and still has lots of growing room. I love how easily the straps can be raised or lowered (easier than the Marathon) and it has added side impact protection. I have reviews of all three car seats on my profile (just click on my name), with pictures of the Roundabout with a 21 lb baby.

It will do just fine in either. It's a great seat and I'm in love with it after always having britax seats. It is large though so it would be tight in a 3 across situation.

Compared to the kids the mini is easier to use. If your car seat is on both compatable list then go with the mini. Regarding the airport security it stays attached to the car seat and they will either put the thru the machine or wand it!

We have had the Roundabout and the Marathon. You can go directly from a carrier to this seat, but your baby will look SO tiny. This is also bulkier than the roundabout and may not rear face in smaller cars. But it will buy you a few more years. I love both seats.

I was wondering the same thing! I am trying to decide between the Graco Nautilus and the britax. I really like the extra "snacky" features of the Nautilus because I know what my 5 year old uses. (This seat would be for my 1 year old.) Input from anyone who knows about these carseats would be appreciated!

In my personal opinion the original is better. The mini seems flimsy compared to the original and as the name suggests it is indeed mini. The original can be used longer because it is larger, the mini is best for smaller and much younger babies. Our original still fits our 7 month old who is 22lbs and in size 12 month clothing; she still has room to spare. That said however, if you have very limited space the small is the second best option. I feel the mini still offers a good option, I would have purchased the mini had the original not been available. The original is slightly smaller than a play pen, and can be used as such.

I got the Britax Marathon today and it fits perfect in my honda civic 2004, it is actually a little narrower than my old Roudabout 40 so there is more room!

I'm sorry, I really couldn't say. What we did is measure our car. With the Mini you can probably find the length online. My recommendation would be if the length is close to go with the bigger one. Good luck.

I got the Snap N Go FX (instead of the EX) from another website, and the Britax B-Safe fits pretty well.

My son's car seat is evenflo symphony. Its heavy and D. weight about 26lbs. I bought the mini travelmate and It was very helpful, but i think its worth spend a little more money to get the regular gogo babyz travelmate, because the minin is not as strong... I am sure for next trip i wont be able to use it.

I have never been in a Mini Cooper, I don't see why not but you might want to check with Britax directly.

I'm not sure about the mini. But, I got this for my 2 1/2 year old last summer, and it's perfect for him. He loves it. I love the air tires. They have much better traction than some of the other balance bikes.

Thanks for answering me! I've decided to keep the old model. Looking at the manuals for both on line I'm thinking the lift mechanism for the elevators is the same so one seems as liable to break as the other. I'd rather have it fit bigger cars. I talked to Plan today and they said the newer one does have a smaller elevator.
