Bumbleride - Era

So interesting, I found the Thule way more difficult to push around and navigate with than the Bumbleride Era. We purchased the Era and adore it :)

We've taken our Era on some trails with roots as well as gravel walks, and honestly, it has been so smooth for babe. It's a really excellent stroller. But I'm sure the Thule is great as well :)

I have the era and i love it, but I don't think it would do well in Toronto. It's still pretty bulky.

I have a handmedown bumbleride from my sister. It's 13 years old and still in fantastic shape. She was very set on having refillable rubber tires.. said listening to plastic on gravel makes her skin crawl haha

We have a bumbleride and love it! Can confirm it's a beast in gravel, grass, dirt, mud, snow and slush.

We got an almost new Bumbleride era on marketplace and have been sooo happy with it! We've been using it daily for almost a year. Such smooth ride and I loved having baby laying flat in it as a newborn. Super super happy with it and anticipate using it for a long time.

I got a Bumbleride off FB Marketplace used and it folds up, lays almost completely flat (comes with a bassinet attachment I never used), maneuvers very well and doesn't have any flame retardant chemicals which was my main concern. I then got an Uppababy for my travel stroller which stays in the car mostly (put it on my registry).

Me too! And I used it with my graco car seat which I love!

I also love our Era! It's a fantastic stroller, I love going for walks with it. For me the only downside has been that the bug net for it has been out of stock ever since springtime

We also have a Bumbleride era! I really didn't do much research on strollers before buying it but I found it on marketplace and thought it looked decent. It's been sooo nice! We use it daily and it's been great even during the winter. And I loved how flat it would lay during the newborn stage.

Check out the Graco Gomax infant seat. its designed exactly for this an CPSTs in the US love it. It also has a really light weight stroller frame to go with it. [https://www.gracobaby.com/shop/car-seats/infant-car-seats/gomax-baseless-infant-car-seat-ft.-insta-install-rigid-latch/SAP\_2219741.html](https://www.gracobaby.com/shop/car-seats/infant-car-seats/gomax-baseless-infant-car-seat-ft.-insta-install-rigid-latch/SAP_2219741.html) It doesnt have a big basket from pictures but a lot of the strollers with big baskets are soooo heavy. Carrying baby, carseat and a stroller is a lot especially in an Uber. PLus you have to unload the stroller in to the uber to fold the stroller up anyway. But it would work with any of the graco strollers and they have a ton of options. or a Graco adapter for another stroller. Adapters seem like a giant pain but they really arnt that bad. Personally i have two strollers. A car stroller and a walking/all terrain stroller. i have a Baby Jogger City Tour 2 in my car and a Bumbleride Era. It has a lay flat stroller seat and we added on the infant insert for that stage. The Era is great. i absolutely love it unless im taking it in an out of the car all the time. then it's just to heavy which is why i have the baby jogger that i keep in the car.

Our giant ten month old love his bumbleride. We got two secondhand on Facebook marketplace (the indie and era models). They have bike tires so they're super for tough terrain

Clek liing for the infant car seat. The load plus quality of material (no flame retardants) are what sold me on it plus it's made in Canada. Note, safety testing in Canada is stringent so every company must meet it for their car seats however some do go above and beyond as opposed to the minimum. For a stroller, we use a bumbleride era. It uses OEKO-Tex certified material, has no flame-retardants, is PFAS free and is made with sustainable material. It doesn't fold with 1 hand, however she's a beast. It has a full suspension, air filled tires and can handle snow, slush, mud and gravel. I can push it on grass, one handed with no issues. Can't say that about a lot of other strollers. I'd say identify what your musts are and go from there. For me it was safety and the quality of material used.

I have a Bumbleride and an Uppababy and honestly, if I had to have just one I'd go with the Uppababy with the newborn insert. The bumbleride is great but just very heavy and bulky! We did a Nuna car seat because I liked the materials. We did an Uppababy stroller and I feel great about it, I think that it's one of those things that's worth being moderate about, personally.

So I have the yoyo and the newborn bassinet attachment, not the newborn pack, but both have a weight limit of 19.8 lb, which my LO is on the cusp of outgrowing at 9 weeks also at 22inches. We really loved the stroller and still use it with the car seat adapters for quick trips and doctor visits. Recently we bought a Bumbleride Era and it's amazing! True complete recline, can adjust flaps for bassinet like seat and so much room to grow. The best sun canopy I've ever seen (the yoyo one is a joke honestly) and excellent wheels for any terrain. We recently took it to the park and it was so great. My LO passed out and daily walks have now become our favorite. I wish we had gotten it first, but will use the yoyo for future travel and daycare when LO is older.

Same for us and also. November baby. It was great with the snow! I sometimes go into stores or on transit with it and it's fine, a little tight in some small stores and a bit tight on transit in rush hour. I liked the era because it can parent face or world face. I loved the newborn lay flat feature so we didn't need a bassinet.

I have the bumbleride Era and highly recommend! I live in Edmonton and we get a ton of snow that doesn't get plowed fast enough and I never get stuck in the snow, it has a built in bassinet and the seat is reversible and it's classified as All Terrain. I took it to the dog park a couple times and trails and it handled so smoothly.

You'll pry my Bumbleride out of my cold dead hands. My Graco was fine until my twins wanted out of their car seats around 6 months. Then I quickly upgraded. Having all terrain tires and being able to push with one hand is so nice too. The Graco is just kinda unwieldy.

I'm also in Ottawa. I wouldn't bother buying a "travel system". Find a stroller that you love and get an adapter for the car seat if you aren't really a winter person then I would go for something that you find easy to get in an out of your car for going places. We have a all terrain stroller ( Bumbleride Era) for walks around home and then a car stroller( baby jogger city tour 2) that is way easier for me to get in out of the car. It's great for going to the museum etc. The Ottawa Facebook marketplace has a ton of strollers available usually and second hand can be an awesome option. We used a Chicco keyfit car seat with an adapter with the Era but it has a lay flat seat as well.its just way to heavy to pop to the grocery store etc so that's why we got the city tour.

I love our bumbleride era. I walk just about every day and we've owned it for 4 years (2kids), still going strong. The tires are very easy to pump and we even replaced an inner tube once no problem. Edit: that said I agree with comments saying trails and strollers are a challenging combo. Gravel is fine, but exposed tree roots? Just get a baby carrier.

With the bassinet like flaps from the top I measure 30 inches, without the flaps, 36 inches and you can see what I mean by [flaps](https://bumbleride.com/products/era-reversible-stroller?variant=42141442179183&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22154387003&gclid=Cj0KCQjwgvnCBhCqARIsADBLZoJkyExuJxI6LFDUnzQBQOb14dpbZprD7KFj_bGX9ei1NtFT_skS-h0aAiE1EALw_wcB) here. Unless your baby is really young, I don't think the flaps are too necessary because the footboard is adjustable to hold baby's legs up. I have only ever tried my friends uppababy Cruz and no comparison. I actually prefer the smooth ride the yoyo offers. The Bumbleride has actual rubber wheels with air filled tires (pump included and you can replace them or the inner tube as needed for punctures) so they're real wheels and not the plastic ones you usually get. We've gone over uneven pavement, bumps, rocks, grass and sand and baby doesn't feel a thing. Bumbleride has [authorized retailers](https://bumbleride.com/pages/store-locator-online-retailers) you can look near you and test them out in person. The other one we considered was the Indie, but the Era has a seat you can move to face you or world and that's what sold us. It is a bigger stroller than the Cruz, probably more like the vista, but only has a single seat capability, but does have a ride on board attachment for toddlers.

Two. Bumbleride Era for winter and terrain like grass gravel broken pavement long rides and disneyword trips Baby zen yo-yo (gifted) for always leaving in the car for the mall, for the train and busses and for all inclusive or city trips. We use both as often and never had a car seat adapter just used a standard car seat with the Cosco Serena next as our second car seat for travel and other peoples cars/taxi

I would check out the [bumbleride era](https://canada.bumbleride.com/products/era-reversible-stroller-new?variant=45344132923584). High quality and the suspension is top notch. No need for a separate bassinet, it lays flat enough for an infant and converts into a bassinet itself. I believe the bugaboo fox is not compatible with a lot of car seats either which idk if that's something you're looking for. The era can be used with car seats you just have to purchase separate adapters, which I like because I can choose what car seat I want and I'm not forced to get that same branded one. I have the indie which is just the 3 wheel jogger version but it's the smoothest pushing stroller. You don't realize how many bumps you go over even on concrete until you have a crappy plastic wheeled stroller.

I love my bumble ride era. I used the graco carsest with it and I bought an attachment. Which actually folded with the stroller too. I loved it also cause I could use the bucket seat or the actual seat folds down to flat so it can be used for newborn like bassinet.

If you have the room, highly recommend just getting either a mini crib or putting the crib in your room. You're not supposed to use the bassinet once baby starts rolling even if they don't meet the maximum weight criteria. That can be as early as 3ish months if you've got an early roller. I love the ikea singlar. No paint and it's a smooth finish, best bang for your buck. Clek liing car seat and we love the bumbleride era. The liing is compatible with a bunch of stollers, you just need the appropriate adapter.

You are in the city so the uppababy could work. With this stroller you need to purchase the bassinet separately though as far as I understand. But another alternative you can also take a peek at the [Bumbleride Era](https://canada.bumbleride.com/products/era-reversible-stroller-new). This stroller comes standard with a bassinet built into it (it's a couple snaps already in the fabric) that can be forward or parent facing. You can then have the toddler part face you or forward as well. This is all just one stroller with nothing extra needed for all these features. To add a car seat, you just need the attachment that is build for the specific car seat brand that is sold on the bumbleride canada website directly for $50. Most car seat brands are compatible with this stroller as long as you have the correct attachment, so you're not forced to use a specific brand of carseat if you don't want to. (Ie using an inexpensive graco car seat vs a high end one). I found the car seat attachment super quick to use even though it's not a built in part of the stroller.

Also have the era. Only downside is it's not 1 hand collapsible but otherwise we love it

We have a bumbleride and love it! Can confirm it's a beast in gravel, grass, dirt, mud, snow and slush.

Bumbleride is the best! We use ours all the time in rural Manitoba. Cuts through snow like a champ haha

Love our bumbleride era!

We had the bumbleride era too and it was fantastic! The wheels have been great in all weather including snowy days. Also the canopy is really good, there's an extra flap that flips out for excellent coverage. I've found it pretty manageable to maneuver onto streetcars as well once you get used to it. I really love that you can switch it from parent to world facing, that's why I picked it over the bumbleride indie. My only critique is that the storage basket is not as large as some other strollers and the supports are placed in such a way that it's a bit hard to put large bulky items in. I haven't found that super impactful personally, we use a smaller diaper bag (the Herschel one), and I order big grocery stock ups for delivery (PC express). Can't advise where to buy it though, I got lucky and got it off FB marketplace basically new in the box.

Can't speak on the Uppababy strollers but we got the bumbleride era. It has air filled tires, an all wheel suspension and the seat reclines all the way through so you can use it as young as newborn (we got the infant insert so it's a bit more snug). I've tested it in snow, slush, mud, gravel and sidewalk. No issues and with the exception of deep mud or very deep slush, I could push it with one hand if I wanted. We paired it with the clek liing using the adapters.

I also live on Vancouver island and almost got sucked in to the Vista stroller popularity. I ended up going with a Bumbleride era and a compact travel stroller to keep in the car. So happy with my decision. The Bumbleride works great from birth by creating its own bassinet so you don't need any extra attachments (or components to store once baby upgrades to a normal seat). The air filled tires are great on all terrain. We eventually bought a compact stroller for international travel and are also loving it for keeping in the car for quick trips to downtown (so much easier to navigate in stores and restaurants/coffee shops). We got the ergo metro +. The new version of the Uppa Baby travel stroller does look really good though. Most strollers can be purchased second hand! I'd recommend a Bumbleride or Thule if you plan to do much outdoor walking, and a compact travel stroller.

Seconding the Bumbleride Era. It doesn't have a one hand fold but it's amazing and pretty compact and eco friendly. I love it!

Love my Bumbleride Era. Agree, it's heavy. Our travel stroller is Bombi.

Used bumbleride on fb - either an era for a younger babe or indie if 6 months+

This is why we wanted the bumbleride which has the built in bassinet option. I'm surprised how many brands only offer the car seat click in option as their stroller if it's not recommended baby be in the car seat unless it's for vehicle travel or a short time

I love Bumbleride!! I've had our single forever, and I had a double when both my kids were little. My favorite part is the tires! Air filled, like a bike. All kinds of terrain is easy going, and living in a snow climate, I appreciate that it goes through snow well.
