Thank you PeppyParents, I just checked my email and now I am fawning over this new stroller.

Has anyone tried it in person? Please give me the details! I have a BJCM that is still in the box (waiting for the snow to melt)--would this be a better all-around option?

i would go with the bjcm- the flite looks more comparable to a mac imo. bjcm rocks!

I have no experiance with the Bumbleride but just started using my BJCM and love it. A huge plus is that DD loves it too. Before taking her out on the Chicco Trevi was a challenge and now she refuses to get off the BJCM.

Very easy to open and fold and easy to manuver even on uneven surfaces.

Hey, it's true that someone actually reads our newsletter! :)

I think the Flite is something fresh in the lightweight umbrella world, so that's exciting. Definitely has a cute factor.

It's going to behave more like an umbrella... a little bit of flexing while pushing, but it still felt pretty solid when we got to see a final prototype IRL a few months ago. The BJCM would feel more solid when pushing.

The Flite is a few pounds lighter and has a more compact fold than the BJCM, but I think either one is a great errand/travel daily user stroller.

I read your newsletter too and thought ooh that's a cute alternative to the classic umbrella design, too bad I don't need another stroller, but if I did I'd definitely look at it.
