The new design offers infant car seat compatibility, which will allow families to use it as a [travel system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transformer-stroller-to-wagon-travel-system) from day one by pairing with select Britax and competitive infant car seats through the use of adapters sold separately. The adaptable Juniper+ compact stroller retains the popular features of its predecessor, including the exclusive FastPack system with a one-hand RapidFold. The bumper bar still converts into a carry handle, and the self-retracting carry strap offers hands-free portability. The self-standing fold, on the other hand, ensures easy storage. Additional features include all-wheel suspension, a one-hand recline with adjustable calf rest, enhanced ventilation, an expandable UPF 50+ canopy, a large storage basket with a pocket, and a parent cup holder. Britax introduces two new premium color options for the Juniper+ compact stroller — Teak and Raven Black.
