Where to Buy
 

Reviewers call the Bumbleride Queen B a "classic carriage stroller reinvented" with a stylish look and modern features. Reviewers say the Queen B is loaded with practical accessories, including a bassinet, reversible seat, foot muff (for keeping tots' toes warm on cold days), a rain cover and canopy, head rest, shoulder pads, cupholder, bumper bar and air pump for its 12-inch wheels. An aluminum storage basket provides ample storage space under the seat, and a zipper pouch on the canopy offers convenient access to small toys or accessories. Unlike most carriage strollers, the Queen B can be folded, and the handlebar adjusts to 11 heights to accommodate caregivers. On the downside, parents say it doesn't maneuver well in tight spaces. It's also costly, and some parents say they wish there were more color choices available – the Queen B comes in lava (black) or ruby (red).

The latest edition of the popular baby-gear book "Baby Bargains" covers the Bumbleride Queen B, although the authors rate overall brands with only brief discussions of current models. We found several useful individual product reviews of the Bumbleride Queen B on BabyGizmo.com, RatedByMom.com, StrollerReviews.net (where Bumbleride offered a Queen B in exchange for the review) and BabyStrollerSearch.com. There are few user reviews available for the Queen B, although we did find a handful of owner-written reviews on BabyEarth.com. ConsumerReports.org doesn't include the Queen B in its latest stroller roundup.
