Bumbleride Flyer 2008
We bought the Bumbleride Flyer in 2008 for a number of key reasons:
- we liked the look of it
- we wanted a stroller that would be suitable from birth (lie flat…
We’ve had this stroller for just over a year and love it. We originally wanted the Bugaboo for the switch around handle, but couldn’t justify spending that much money on a stroller. The Bumbleride handle switches around so the baby can face us or face out – for a third the cost of the Bugaboo. Plus, the Bugaboo folds in two pieces, but the Bumbleride is all one piece. Since the back folds flat and the footrest folds up, it turns into a pram, which was very useful when our son was an infant. We actually used it on vacation in place of a bassinet. Switching forward-facing to backward-facing is quick and easy, and the handle goes from very short (so my toddler can help push) to very tall. The ride is a little more cumbersome with the baby facing the parent – you have to take shorter strides or bump the stroller. Now that our son is older – we find that there are lots of places to hook toys on to to keep him amused. Its easy to push, set up, and affordable. I highly recommend this stroller.

2009 Flyer
We just received the 2009 Flyer [in seagrass - but there were more reviews under this one so I thought I would post here instead]. We love it.

Do not buy if you live in a city!
I live in NYC and everyone told me to buy a Maclaren. I was a little blah about the colors and look of the Maclarens but I was not about to spend a fortune on a bugaboo or…
We love the Flyer! It does everything we were looking for in a stroller. Easy to use around town, toss in the car, adjustable handle, reversible handle. It even comes with all the accessories like cup holder and car seat bar with belt.
We bought it 6 months ago and it is working as good as the day we got it.
Our little one loves to sleep in it and loves to go on walks in it. If you want a stroller that works great and looks different than all the rest buy a bumbleride!
Only cons are that some maintenance (cleaning)is required here and there but all strollers need this.
Great price, great quality stroller, durable, modern, looks better than the rest!

This is a nice stroller
After reading a couple of the poorly written reviews on this stroller, I feel the need to defend it!
We have owned our 2006 Bumbleride Flyer for almost two years now…
Buying a stroller is scarily similar to buying a car… it took a lot of research and comparison shopping before I settled on the Bumbleride Flyer. I am totally thrilled with the purchase! The things I like about the stroller are NUMEROUS and include the following:
- The direction of the stroller may be reversed easily simply by flipping the handlebars over and adjusting two bars near the wheels (you do not have to pick up the seat itself and turn it around as with many other strollers);
- The seat adjusts from a close-to-90-degree angle to almost flat;
- There is a footrest that adjusts to a few different positions, so your child’s legs don’t just dangle in the air;
- The canopy is BIG, and a portion zips off to provide air flow on hot days;
- The handle is a single bar, so it’s easier to steer with one hand;
- A rain cover, cup holder, and infant seat adapter come standard with the stroller, and options include a “snack pack” that attaches to the seat, car seat cover (seems silly though!), foot muff/liner, and carrycot;
- The infant seat adapter bar attaches directly onto the stroller without requiring removal of the seat;
- The five-point harness releases when you press a single button;
- The stroller has a relatively small footprint and weighs only 19 pounds, which is quite a bit lighter than most other full-size strollers; and
- The fold is not too difficult (though not super-easy), and when folded, the stroller can stand upright (though it is kept in its folding position by a plastic clasp that may or may not stand up under repeated use).
In my opinion, the only real drawback to this stroller is that it does not have air-filled wheels; however, it was not intended to be an all-terrain stroller, and air-filled wheels would have added a lot of weight. Oh, and it would have been nice if a custom travel bag were available, but Bumbleride has identified a third-party product that will work. So overall I am very satisfied. I understand that there were a lot of issues with respect to steering the 2008 version of the stroller, but I have not experienced any problems at all with the 2009 version.
I got the stroller in the ruby color, which is a lovely deep red (in my opinion even deeper than in the photo). I was going to go with the seagrass color but when I saw it in a store, the green was a little olive-y and the turquoise was a little too light for my taste. All in all, I am extremely pleased with this stroller, which has a TON of terrific features for half the price of many comparable strollers.

Terrible and waste of money
We found the stroller to be poorly constructed and difficult to handle. The stroller is difficult to steer, it is nearly impossible to steer straight.

Terrible Stroller
I have been through about 10 strollers with my 3 children and this is by far the worst and most expensive stroller I have purchased.

I love this stroller!
I just received my BumbleRide Flyer stroller and I love it! It is super easy to reverse the handle to look at baby and it was very easy to snap together.

Looks great, drives terrible!
I agree with the previous poster. We spent a lot of time finding the perfect looking stroller. While there are some nice features- namely the colors and fabric- you will kick…

Regrets
After hearing everyone talk about this stroller, my wife and I went and tested at a local baby store.
