Our Stroller Review

We give this stroller a rating of 4 / 5 stars based on our 7 critierias of what makes a great stroller. Read on to see why this stroller will suit your lifestyle and see
what's included.

  

Travel convenience:  The Bumbleride Flyer Stroller is the smallest of Bumbleride Strollers, so it's easy to store in the closet or in the trunk.  One thing to mention is that although it is smaller in size, it's almost the same weight as the Bumbleride Indie Stroller.  The reason is the Flyer stroller has been improved to be lighter with the better materials (last years model was 10 lbs heavier!).  The two strollers have pretty much the same features except for the look, dimension and weight.

Safety:  With quick release 5-point safety harnesses your baby is well secured in the stroller and will still fit the harness as they grow.  What's great is the included shoulder pads and infant headrest makes your child's ride a more comfortable experience than an unpadded harness.

As for the included bumper bar, it's a great safety precaution from having your child slip out of the stroler.  Another great safety feature is the front to rear wheel locking system for you to park the stroller, just remember not to leave your baby in a stroller unattended especially on a slope.

Mobility:  The Bumbleride Flyer Stroller is the only Bumbleride Stroller that has front and rear suspension as well as individually locking brakes.  Although the wheels are all 8"s, it's a simple stroller to take around the city to run errands and to take a walk in the park.

The Bumbleride Flyer Stroller is about the same weight as the Bumbleride Queen B Stroller but turns better with swivel wheels and does not have a traditional pram frame.  The Bumbleride Indie Stroller also has a single front swivel wheel and is a great jogging stroller.

 

  

Durability:  The lightweight anodized aluminum material is the best choice for any stroller because it's durable and light at the same time.  Another lasting feature would be the removable fabrics for machine washing.

What parents will love:  Parents will love this stroller because it is the only Bumbleride Stroller to have a reversible handle for your baby to face you or the world.  The Bumbleride Queen B Stroller has the option of a reverible seat, but you will have to manually take the stroller seat out and change positions.  With a reversible handle you can change your baby's view at a snap, instead of taking the entire seat out!

One of the best feature a stroller can have is the ability to accomodate infant car seats. Since most parents enjoy bringing their baby wherever they go, it can be a hassle taking the baby in and out of the car seat - especially when they are fast asleep!

As for features that are more dedicated to parents, there's a detachable cup holder included for your morning coffee and a spacious shopping basket to place all your baby's necessities and your shopping needs.  For taller parents, the adjustable handle adjusts from 32”- 45”.  That way every member of the family can take turns pushing the stroller at their desired handle height.

What your baby will love:  For your baby it's all about how comfortable they are in the stroller.  The 4 position reclining seat (from flat down to upright) is a lot of choices for your little one to find the right spot to nap in.

When the weather gets cold outside, a footmuff is the perfect accessory to keep them bundled up without having to worry loose blankets falling out of the stroller.  With the easy zip on and off function there's no need to place your baby into a footmuff and it's easy to remove for washing.  The footmuff is not the only zip off option, the adjustable canopy is also removable for washing with an additional viewing window and storage bag. 

 

What we don't love so much:  The mentioned qualities of this stroller such as the reversible handlebar is one of the main reason I would pick this stroller over all the other Bumbleride Strollers.  Plus it's not far from the Bumbleride Indie Stroller when comparing weight capacity!   The price difference between the two strollers is not a lot, so base your purchase on what features appeal to you more.  

We quite like the Bumbleride Flyer Stroller because it has made drastic improvements from their last year model.  As we mentioned earlier, it is 10 lbs lighter now than it was a year ago - now that it a drastic improvement!  Plus the newer color selection is even better than before.  And although it does not move as good as the Bumbleride Indie Stroller when it comes to turning, it's overall a great stroller for travelling.  But weight comparison we find the Maclaren strollers to be lighther in general, but the Bumbleride Flyer Stroller has the reversible handle bar that not a lot of lightweight strollers have.
