Bumbleride Flite Giveaway!!

Buggies and Babies Giveaway!!



This Sunday October 19 2014 follow our blog here or on our Facebook page to enter in our giveaway for a Bumbleride Flite stroller! Contest begins Sunday October 19 and ends Friday October 24 2014!

Our family loves the Bumbleride Flite! Since it was released in 2010 we've owned 2 and now we want to give one away to one of our lucky followers!

The Bumbleride Flite is a very lightweight umbrella type stroller that is well known for its smooth ride, smart functions, and stylish looks. You will really appreciate how well this Flite maneuvers around town  - smooth and easy! We recently took our Flite to the Pumpkin Patch here in San Diego with our kiddos. At our local pumpkin patch the ground is full of gravel and hay - its everywhere! Despite the bumpy road our stroller moved along amazingly. The suspension in the Flite wheels is something you would find in a jogger or all-terrain stroller - it's great for all types of terrains.

As you can see I had our 9 week old as well as our 2.5 year old riding in our Flite. The Bumbleride Flite like other Bumbleride models is great for newborns. Whether you want to use the car seat adapter and attach a compatible car seat or have your lil one lie flat in the seat, the Flite will be comfortable for your baby and you too.

Another favorite feature of the Flite is the very small compact fold! We have a big minivan so we can fit a big stroller in it. However, with all the other kids' items we have to pack for an outing backpacks, bags, blankets, clothes, baby carriers, diaper bags, lunches I don't have space for our everyday stroller! This makes the Flite perfect for those who are looking for a high quality stroller but don't have the space to pack a lot - whether you have a small trunk space or just overpacked.

The Flite is also great for traveling as it holds a lot - up to 50 pounds. Then when its time to board the plane, hop in a taxi, or catch a ride on a trolley the Flite folds up small. 

If you're looking for a stroller that's lightweight, great for everyday use and accommodates a newborn yet will grow with your child the Flite is for you! If you've got an amazing everyday stroller but are looking for a lightweight, umbrella stroller with high quality design and function the Flite is for you too! 

Here's a breakdown of just some of the Flite's awesome features:
  • Large canopy that can be pulled down for more sun coverage
  • Near flat recline - great for nap time and diaper changes
  • Large seat that accommodates newborns to tall/big kids up to 50 pounds
  • Adjustable 5 point harness that fits a small newborn as well as bigger kids
  • Adjustable footrest great to keep little legs from hanging, especially during naps
  • Fun, stylish colors - it comes in 7 awesome colors
  • Sturdy design - it can hold up to 50 pounds!
  • Weighs 13 pounds
  • Small, compact fold
  • Decent size understorage basket that you can access front - allows for a wide opening
The Flite comes standard with the following accessories:
  • carrying strap
  • car seat adapter to securely attach your favorite infant car seat
  • parent cup holder

Ready to get started with cloth diapering?!

Let us point you in the right direction! Check out our cost saving cloth diaper packages!!

http://www.buggiesandbabies.com/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=197


 I recall when I began learning about cloth diapers it was overwhelming and very confusing understanding the different terms and the cloth diaper lingo. What was a pocket, an insert, and a prefold? How may did I need or how do I wash? What did I do with the really dirty diapers? These were just a few of the many, many questions I had when I was pregnant with my 2nd.  I wish I had the local resources and support to understand all I needed to get started. Buggies and Babies offers each month two free Cloth Diaper 101 classes a month – we introduce all the different systems, ways to use, how to wash and maintain, and answer your questions as well as clear up any misconceptions you may have. We have attendees who are either new to cloth as well as experience cloth diapering families who come together to support and encourage our cloth diapering ways.

To help families get started with their cloth diapering journey Buggies and Babies has created several cloth diaper packages based on products that are not only great for your budget but also help to make cloth diapering easy! We have packages available for those starting out on baby’s first day or those who want to start with an older baby such as 3 months 1 year or even a toddler. At whichever stage you’re in and based on your budget we have a package for you!

Check out our packages here! Each package will save you 20% off plus the retail prices. We offer as a base prefolds and covers. Prefold diapers are a great choice for cloth diapering because as a 100% natural cotton they are safe against baby’s skin but are also very easy to maintain. I have some prefolds in my stash that are over 2 years with proper cleaning mine have absolutely no stains and are still just as soft and absorbent as they were from day 1. Our packages include covers (also known as wraps), which are used to go over the prefolds – to ensure a dry baby. At each diaper change if there is no stain to the cover or it still feels dry to the touch simply replace the prefold and reuse the same cover. This is why covers and prefolds are easy on the budget – you can reuse the same cover 2 to 3 times.
Additionally you’re able to add extra covers to each package as well as pocket diapers. We also feature an essential add on which includes “essentials” you really need for cloth diapering – cloth diaper safe detergent, cloth diaper safe diaper cream, a diaper pail liner, and a wet bag.
If you’re a local family please visit us during our Cloth Diapering 101 events. We’re happy to answer all your questions and help you feel comfortable with cloth diapering. Every staff member that works at Buggies and Babies cloth diapers so as moms we’re happy to share our experiences and assist you!

Here are several more tips I wish someone had shared with me when I started cloth diapering:
1) Make sure to put on the cloth diaper just right. Putting on a disposable diaper is much different than a cloth diaper. If the cloth diaper is not on right you will have leaking. Also the right fit will ensure the cloth diaper fits until toddler stage, whether you have a petite or above average size baby.
2) Sunning your diapers is the #1 best way to get rid of stains and smells. A clothes hanger rack can hold a load of diapers – just hang your just washed diapers on the rack or on your clothes line and let the UV rays from the sun do its job. Don’t have a yard? UV rays can go through most windows, place the rack along a window and watch the stains disappear.
3) You do not need a lot of cloth diapers – 24 to 30 total is a good amount. Any more you tend to wash less. Any less than you’ll be washing more frequently or need disposables to supplement.
4) Cloth diapering is not expensive. If you buy the right system from quality manufacturers you will not have to invest hundreds! You can cloth diaper full time with quality cloth products for under $200. Our packages are all under $200.
5) There are manufacturers that offer $5 cloth diapers – these can save you money. However many of our customers and friends who have bought these have had many problems with sewing quality, absorbency, and fit. They then have to return or sell then re-buy – at the end of the day they end up paying much more. Stick with vendors whose products are made in the USA or at USA based.
