The Bumbleride


When Matthew and Emily Reichardt had their first child, they were disappointed with the lack of stylish stroller options for middle class parents. European strollers were chic, streamlined and beautiful, but also triple the price of the average Graco.

Determined to create the ultimate stroller - with European styling, American conveniences and reasonable pricing - they founded Bumbleride in 2004. The San Diego-based company has 3 amazing stroller models on the market that more than deserve your attention:

  • the Flyer -- a versatile, standard stroller
  • the Rocket -- a three-wheeled all-terrain stroller
  • the Queen B -- a foldable carriage.

  • Bumbleride's strollers are design-oriented, with fashion forward colors, pleasing lines and wonderful features. You get the best of a designer stroller - gorgeous patterns and sleek lines - without the absurd worst - no cupholders or storage space.

    Like their expensive designer counterparts, Bumbleride strollers offer superb handing, interchangeable fabrics, and unlimited seating variations, but unlike their pricier kin, they fold easily, have cup holders and roomy storage baskets. They accept infant car seats, but the stroller seat can also be made into a fully reclined infant bed complete with fancy footmuff, and their toddler seat attachment puts Bugaboo to shame.

    Our favorite feature? The reversible handle that allows us to look at our baby when we stroll.

    And, unbelievably, the Flyer retails for just $299!

    If you're in the market for a durable, infant-to-toddler, everyday stroller, want something more stylish and unique than the run-of-the-mill Babies 'R Us offerings, yet don't want to pay designer prices, the Bumbleride just might be the answer to your prayers.

    The Bumbleride's beautiful design and superior handling make it a close cousin to the Bugaboo, but at almost $600 less, it's a mega-bargain. It does cost $140 more than Graco's top model, but it weighs a third less. For the extra investment, you're shaving 9 pounds off the weight, getting a reversible, height-adjustable handle, removable, washable fabric and a much nicer, more stylish ride. Plus the extra durability and interchangeable fabrics mean the Bumbleride stands a chance with the next child.

    We've put together a comparison chart of the most popular standard strollers on each end of the price spectrum so you can see how the Bumbleride stacks up.

    One more reason we're big Bumbleride fans? Unlike the big stroller manufacturers, Bumbleride really listens to their customers. They thought cup holders would ruin the lines on their original models, but when customers disagreed, they added a cup holder to their 2006 strollers.

    Almost all of the improvements they made to their newest line were direct from customers - happy customers now reaping the benefits of roomier seats, swivel wheels, lighter frames, and oh yes, cup holders. Because this is not Europe, after all. We don't know how they do it, but we live for our Starbucks.
