I love this stroller. It depends on a person what you want or looking for in this stroller. i love that it has reversible handles, new born can lay flat, adjustable foot rest & handles (for your hight). But I just wish the basket was just a little bigger. I read a lot of comments about this stroller before i bought it & a lot of people said it had trouble with wheels or something like that. Well if you lock the wheels in a right place its not hard to control the stroller even if the baby faces you. I didn't have problems with wheels or the way the stroller goes. I bought 2011 style i didn't have problems & i had this stroller over 2 moths and i like it, my daughter loves it.

Comments:

I'm just getting accustomed to it. Have used it just a few times. Perhaps the folding of it will become easier.It is attractive and comfortable for the baby. The best feature is being able to adjust the direction in which to push the baby (facing you or facing away)[...]

Comments:

We've had the stroller for about a month now and I really like it. I took a lot of time deciding which stroller to buy and for the price this one was the best choice. I basically picked this one because of the reversible handle bar. I looked at a lot of reviews and some people mentioned that it is hard to handle when the baby is facing you. If you lock the right wheels (which the directions tells you about) there are not problems.

I use this product everywhere...from daily walks to running errands (groceries, mall, etc). I love love that you can face your baby when you walk, this has allowed me to do much more while out and about since I can now entertain my baby on the go! I hated going on walks with my travel system because I felt that the little time I had with my son (working mom) I didn't want to waste walking and not being able to see him. Now with my flyer I get to take him outside, get fresh air, a little exercise and still feel that we are spending time together bonding :) The couple of items that I do not like are minimal but still should point them out. The belt (the part that come from the bottom and connects to the two shoulder straps) has a cover that is just slipped on...it constantly falls off. I have safety pinned it to the strap so that I don't lose it and now it just doesn't look as pretty. I think the stroller is also a little cumbersome to fold, but I think thats because I am coming from a Chicco travel system that is a one handed fold and so maybe I am a little spoiled. I think I am getting the hang of it, however whenever I leave it with either of the grandparents or even Daddy, I have to leave it perfectly set up because they cannot figure it out. I would love for the stroller to have a push lock for both lock and unlock...a sort of toggle switch (I've seen it on other higher end strollers). Even without this feature and with the two minor flaws, I would defintely recommend this stroller!! And I have gotten compliments on how chic it is!

Being somewhat "old school", I love the reversable handle. It is important to me to be able to see the baby not just look through a small window. It was not difficult to set up. It is lightweight but sturdy.

I am expecting baby #4 in a few weeks and knowing this was going to be my last, I wanted to go out in style but I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a stroller like the Bugaboo (which is the stroller I thought I wanted) I found the Bumble Ride and loved it right away! It looks very similar to those "posh tot" rides you see which are twice the price and the colors are great (I bought Vita for my girl!) I ordered it from Peppy Parents [...] it came in perfect condition and was so simple to set up and my other kids and I have been strolling it around anxiously awaiting our little girl! It moves smoothly, folds simply and looks uber chic! So if you want to splurge a little but not break the bank, get the Bumble Ride Flyer!!!!

I love my Bumbleride. It's beautiful! I wanted the reversing handle, and not many strollers offer it unless you want to spend a lot more money. Which I didn't. I think the sun shade is great, and the seat reclines practially flat for sleepign babies. The way the stroller folds isn't too hard, and its not as heavy as some other ones. The footmuff has been great this winter, because it really protects my baby from the wind. I always get compliments on my Bumbleride, and I love that just becoming a mom didn't mean that I couldn't still have pretty things!
