stoller review Archives

The Bumbleride Flyer has become one of my favorite strollers and I’m difficult to please. I would actually say that it is my favorite stroller if you don’t include jogging strollers, and I think the only reason whey is because it doesn’t have the inflatable wheels. So if you could upgrade your wheels to be the inflatable ones that come on all their other strollers then I would have to say that the Bumbleride Flyer is my favorite stroller hands down.

The Flyer is an amazing stroller. Why?

You can put it together in no time flat. This thing was so easy to put together I was in shock. The pieces all just snap together. The wheels can be locked into place and unlocked. Even the front wheels can be locked into the forward position. This is a good feature if you’re going fast or downhill. It will keep you on your path. Runners need a stroller like this.

It unfolds and folds up very easily. For a mom that is on the go this is another must. Strollers no matter how big they are need to be light weight (19 lbs) and easy to fold up. They need to not take up much room by folding down really flat.

The first stroller that we purchased was not great for our baby. She had to grow into it. So that’s another plus for the Flyer. The Flyer is suitable from infancy on with a reclining back and a five point harness it’s a treat for the baby and mother. Anything that can be an all in one is another plus in my book. The Carrying handle makes it great for traveling with, and the handlebar is reversible. I can lower it enough so that my daughter can push her brother (she’s three). But you can also use it to make the stroller face the other way.

As you can see from the picture above, the cover can be extended to shield your child from the sun. You can also unzip it and move it to different angles. The cargo basket is roomy, but a little difficult to shove things in when the kids are in it and reclined at all. I would also say that it’s a pricy stroller but it is good from birth to 45 lbs, meaning it’s going to last you a long time and if your children are spaced out enough, you can keep from buying another stroller. My only other complaint would be the wheels, like I mentioned above, they aren’t very good on gravel. We tried to go up hill on gravel and it wasn’t as easy as I would have preferred.

Price 359.99 and comes in five color options.

Comes Standard with:

Rain Cover (a must in the Pacific Northwest, all other strollers I had to buy this or we would hardly ever get any use out of our stroller)
Bumper Bar
Cup Holder (a mom must have her coffee (I’m sure hot drinks aren’t recommended around babies, but I always have coffee in my cup holder)
Headrest and Shoulder Pads (my daughter says, “comfy mommy”)
Infant Seat Adapter Bar & Safety Belt (I didn’t need this but hope the stroller goes to someone with a new child)

I also received one of their accessories to go along with the stroller; the snack pack. Even my daughter doesn’t need an explanation of what it was. When I took her for a ride in this stroller she said mom I need a snack for my box. Oh yea! Smart girl. The snack pack attached easily to the stroller, you place it in the location of the bumper bar. The Snack Pack is 39.99.

Bumbleride sent me a stroller to review and it is their policy that bloggers return the strollers. They are allowing me to donate it on their behalf. I am very excited about the donation. It is going to make a family in my community very happy. They are also providing the giveaway for one lucky Mom Start Reader.

Thank You Bumbleride!!
