Question BJCM or Bumbleride?

I cannot make up my mind at all :( I have the BJCM (for the 2nd time now) and while I like it I dont love it.

We drive an suv so we have a small cargo area. The stroller has to be up and down instead of stored flat because its huge wheels make it too wide. I have 4 kids with no patients and its a pain in the neck to take that extra time to pop all the wheels off. With it stored up and down it hits the back hatch every time you stop and go or turn the corner. Seriously annooyying. I also hate how you have to fight and push to actually lock it shut if you want to use that feature. Not to mention you always have to flip the front wheel around just right to get a flat fold. Not very big things to complain about but they make me really hate the stroller some days.
I really do like how sturdy, easy to turn, easy fold, easy buckle and its gigantic canopy a crap ton though! :heartbeat:

Im really liking the looks of the Bumbleride Flite (2011 version). My BJCM is also the 2011 version ;). I know they have made some great improvements on both strollers this time so Im specifically looking to compare the newer models.

Ive also been eyeing the Uppababy G-Lite but Id really like to have a reclining stroller also for longer trips when dd may nap.

Btw, dd is 2 and likes to climb in and out over and over. I had the B-Agile not too long ago because I loved all the improvements it has vs the BJCM. I had 2 different ones sent to me because I was having wheel issues. I also HATE how hard the buckle is to do and undo. With dd getting and out so often that is very important to me. Im pretty sure I dont want to try a 3rd B-Agile anytime soon.

Help! Anyone!

I just sold my 2011 BJCM because I didn't LOVE it, for some of the same reasons you listed. I just sold mine to buy a G-Luxe (I sold the BJCM for $200 and the G-luxe is $189, I also bought the rain cover). It comes today so I can't tell you how I feel about it yet, but I can tell you that I tried out a lot of umbrella strollers in the $100-$250 range and none steered as well and were as easy to operate as the Uppa Baby. I really didn't like the Flite when I saw it last year. It was really unstable and the canopy was REALLY short.

Uppababy is another one Im very interested in. What color did you get?? Would you mind sharing photos or letting me know how the push compares to the BJCM? :love::love:

Im hoping to get to a couple baby stores this weekend but my luck neither the Flite nor the G-luxe/Lite will be in stock. :rolleyes:
