Bumbleride Strollers Ride Of Your Life 2010 Flite Review

Bumbleride strollers just make children smile!

Ok, yeah, he’s just posing for the camera. But the padding on his bum is about an inch thick, so it looks like a comfy ride to me. He didn’t want to get out of it. With so many different strollers to choose from, Bumbleride is sure to be the “ride of your life”. Check out this “Ride Of Your Life” video:

 

 

A while back I had the pleasure of reviewing the Bumbleride Flyer and then I donated the stroller to my MOMS Club. I love working with Bumbleride because they allow me to use the review as a donation instead of returning it to them. Be sure to check out the Bumbleride Flyer. This time they sent me the Bumbleride Flite in red. The material on the stroller also comes in a natural line called “Natural Edition”.

Bumbleride Natural Edition-Walnut4

The Natural Edition features a blend of recycled and bamboo fabrics tailored to give your little one an ultra-soft touch. The seat lining of Natural Edition is woven using a soft fiber mix, including bamboo, which has the natural ability to absorb moisture, regulate temperature, and inhibit bacterial growth. The exterior fabric is made with 50% recycled material. This Bumbleride collection was inspired by and designed for the eco-minded parent looking for a more refined fabric and aesthetic. Natural Edition is a product of Bumbleride’s passion for the environment as well as the use of innovative materials. It features a blend of recycled and bamboo fabrics tailored to give your little one an ultra-soft touch. The seat lining of Natural Edition is woven using a soft fiber mix, including bamboo, which has the natural ability to absorb moisture, regulate temperature, and inhibit bacterial growth. The exterior fabric is made with 50% recycled material.

Now for the Flite Stroller Review. We dumped out the box to see what all we had.

Four wheels

And the stroller folded up in the compact position.

Attaching the wheels is so easy. You just pop them on, and the front wheels that allow you to change directly, you can choose to lock them if you want. Locking them will make you go forward and backward only, you know you won’t be able to turn. By pushing this gray piece the wheels will then be locked.

(remember that I reviewed last years model so the newer model has a few differences like the SPF 45 sun Canopy, please be sure to review the current product information on their site, and be sure to read which version you are purchasing when you buy one from any store)

Other than the wheels, the only other part that needs assembly is the SPF 45 sun canopy. The sun canopy also snaps right into place and extends over your child as you can see in the picture above with Miles. The seat also reclines pretty far back and I love how easy it is to reline and lock back into place. The harness is a 5 point harness and strapping the kids into place is also a breeze. The best thing about Bumbleride is the simplicity is carried out in every feature of the stroller.

Key Features:

Compact Fold
Independent Wheel Suspension
Reclining Backrest
Adjustable footrest
Rigid Backrest support
Car Seat Compatibility
SPF 45 Sun Canopy

Holds children up to 50 pounds, and is only 13 pounds itself, making travel lighter. Comes with the car seat adapter bar, infant headrest * shoulder pads, shoulder strap, and a cup holder. And if you’ve read any of my other stroller reviews then you know I love a good cup holder.

This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to Tamara B.

Give a Unique, Personal Gift From 365Canvas This Year

Thank you to 365Canvas for sponsoring this post! I’ve always been a big fan of canvas printing. I think it’s such an artistic, beautiful way to display favorite photos. Over the years, I’ve been slowly but surely getting all our favorite family snaps put onto canvas. I thought I had gotten pretty much every photo […]

  366. I like the Flite Bumbleride Stroller in Ocean. That has to be the best color for us, we live at the beach.

  371. The stroller I really want is the flite in the natural edition ocean color, but as for other strollers, I like the indie in the natural edition ocean color 🙂

  426. I follow @bumbleride on twitter & facebook. Besides the flite, I LOVE the Queen B stroller in red ruby! Thanks

  435. I have the Queen B, but would love a newer edition with a swivel wheel! Ours is quite old — I adore it and it is in excellent shape, but the swivel wheels would make it the PERFECT stroller for us!

    I would love to have a flite for the odd trip to the shopping mall or for travel!!

    Also, I am a fan of Bumbleride on facebook 🙂

  454. I’m a big fan of the flyer. I’d love it in seagrass. I also liked bumbleride on facebook, followed bumbleride on twitter, tweeted accordingly, voted in the cookie contest. I also subscribed to momstart, listed this on the Big List of Givaways site, liked and followed momstart on facebook and twitter respectively…

    That is everything I can possibly do as I’m not blogging these days! I really want to win!!!! 🙂 Let me know if you need any proof of these things and I’ll be more than willing to find you links if it is possible … THANKS!!!

  458. I have a Bumbleride Indie Twin and LOVE it. I’ve been dying for a Flite in Spice for when I’m carting around my older boy.

  506. If I had to choose another Bumbleride stroller aside from the Flite, which I already love and would like to own, it would have to be the Indie in the Movement Edition in either Fog or Jet. I also followed you on Twitter – handle is mbweddings and I retweeted the current contest and also became a fan of the Bumbleride page on Facebook and a follower on Twitter. I hope this increases my chances to win such a great stroller!

    Thanks,

    Best of luck to you & the Washington State Cookies!

  601. Our favorite is actually the Bumbleride Flite in Ruby or Ocean. We are waiting for the 2011 Flite to come out in store to try it out. If not for the good reviews, we would have bought the Chicco Liteway for our baby due in September.

  615. I just purchased the bumbleride indie movement edition and LOVE it! I would live the new Flight in the natural movement to use as a single stroller.
