The 2012 Flite of the Bumbleride
We love Bumbleride strollers and gear. We've featured their stuff quite a bit because it is consistently fresh looking with updated features, colors and the kinds of accessories that actually get used. Plus their customer service is just--well, nice!

Back in 2010, we reviewed the Bumbleride Flite, and were really impressed with what we saw. Now, the 2012 model takes a great thing and makes it even better.

Bumbleride has updated their wheel system which means that the stroller really glides and will make maneuvering in crowds a little easier. I wish that it came with a bullhorn, but I get the limitations with that feature. 

That's not the only change. The sun canopy is SPF 45, which I find so rad. There are also two fabric options including Movement, which is great for active moms and dads on the go. The fabric is water- resistant and adorably sporty. The exterior is made of recyclable material and the interior is a bamboo blend which keeps your baby cool, wicks away moisture, and is antimicrobial to boot.

As far as accessories, I really like the Flite travel bag, which makes our job as parents just a little bit easier. Plus there is an optional parent pack with a place to put drinks. That's water bottles, not mojitos. Although the stroller does make me feel like celebrating, just a little bit. -Eva
