Goal:
Our goal was to find a travel system that was functional, stylish and reasonably lightweight and run from infancy to a few years. After a few months of reading all the available reviews of this and other strollers, we purchased the Flite along with the separate carrycot.
The Stroller:
The stroller is well made and very light. It is very easy to assemble as is subsequent folding and opening. The included rain canopy is very nice, although we'll never be able to fold it back into its original bag. Attaching the carrycot is straightforward and works well as a pram.
The stroller also comes with an accessory to allow it to take our car seat, the Chicco Keyfit 30. Once attached, a strap and buckle clipped onto the stroller's harness are used to secure the car seat; note, it is not the same clunk/click that the Chicco travel system has but it still works well. Use:
Our first use of the stroller was as a pram for naps in the day and it worked very well. It has a small footprint, which is a plus and can move with you around the house when necessary. At three months, the little lady is still able to nap in it comfortably (~ 9 lb and 22 inches).
Online reviews note that the upper crossbar may pop up during use, which it does, but as we are aware of it this is not much of a problem at all.
The stroller is very easy to push/pull and it turns on a dime. When folded, it easily fits into the trunk (Ford Focus) with the carrycot and shopping - this is a really big plus.
The storage area is not massive, but it will fit an over-the-shoulder diaper bag and is sufficient.
Summary:
Excellent value for the price and met all our needs with great functionality.
Lightweight, looks great, very easy to operate and we look forward to using it for several years.
Bumbleride did a nice job with this stroller.
