It is the steel bumper. my bumper came primed in black. I painted it first and install was a snap.

I'm willing to bet because the metal one is heavy and is put together with hand screws (a choking hazard) and the pvc one is light and just slips together. We had them both and they play the same.

I bought lil bums first than I bought some alva. Lil bums is way better!! They absorb better and come with 2 different types of inserts.

I use the plastic one. Costs less works fine. Don't even notice it's on. I use for mostly biking some running.

If I recall correctly, this one is part mental and the other was all plastic. Plus, the other had poor reviews and this one was reviewed well. I does work well.

Mine is the black plastic version. Sorry, I've not seen the other versions.

That and the less expensive version has a plastic slide/cover instead of a metal one. Other than that, they are pretty much the same.

ribbed plastic. I have it in all of my cupboards for drips and for things not to slide. I love it

It's an easy assembly but the blade attaches with a plastic nob. I haven't used others so I can't compare.

It is different. Because it is plastic it has a "plastic" taste to it, and for me one of the wholes doesn't play to full strength. For the money(if you were considering buying the set) it's worth it. But the metal one is overall better.

I have both lil bums and Alva baby and they are quite similar. I don't know if they are rebranded though.

My SS model actual has an staingless steel covering over the plastic hose. It's solid, very flexible (more so than on the plastic version of the same device this replaced) and is still lightweight.

I think the steel one is a different model than the aluminum. It has a different letter after the name

its a softer plastic. More like the plastic used in food storage containers. I used the microbuddy twice. That was enough.

I suspect the case material, plastic vs. stainless steel, is the only difference. They are still playing with their pricing scheme.
