Bumbleride - Indie (I-107, I-110, I-205)

I have a used Bumblerider. It is a model that was discontinued in 2012. I'm its fourth owner. It looks and functions like a brand new stroller.

If you can find one, I got a fourth-hand bumblerider indie and it is a beast. Curbs, mud, gravel roads. I havdn't used it in snow yet but the previous owner tells me it rolls great. Even though this stroller is over a decade old, it rides like new and the company still sells compatible parts for it. I got the car seat adapter and the keyfit35 fits very securely. Once baby out grows the seat we'll still have the stroller for years and will probably be able to pass it on to a 5th family when we're done with it.

I'm in rural AB and am the fourth owner of a 15 year old indie. Thing is a beast. At 15 years old it looks brand new and it handles great on grass and gravel. I haven't used it in snow yet, butbthe previous owner tells me it works great. All of the parts, even for a 2010 model, are availlable on the company website. Unfortunately, it is a US brand so tariffs may be an issue. I wish I'd bought a new seat adjustment belt and bug net before those came into effect. It isn't parent facing, but there is a little window on top so you can look down at them. I really appreciated that I could pop a 6lb newborn in without any attachments or worry.

Bumbleride Indie or Era are nice to push in any condition and even a bigger kid fits nicely. Full recline in both of these.

I lovvvved the indie! It was rugged but maneuverable

I got my high end strollers second hand! With the first we got a Bumbleride Indie for trails and beaches for $90!— and it’s still amazing 4 years later, we even replaced tires on it. Then I got a used uppababy Cruz for $150 and it’s been amazing as well. FWIW I bought a small travel stroller new (YoYo Zen2) that folds down to carry on airplanes and while we do use it for that, the storage is awful (doesn’t fit anything) and the price was outrageous for how little we actually like it. 😆 Established brands in strollers are worth it imo.

I have the bumbleride indie and we love it! We got it for a deal from rebel or goodbuy gear because it was new but slightly scratched. I live in an area where I can walk to the library, grocery store etc from our house. So we love just strolling out the door with the indie. We also have really bumpy sidewalks around so we needed the air tires and I do some very light jogging with it as well. The cork handlebar is awesome. It has an adapter for a variety of car seats but we never ended up using that because my baby hated the stroller until she was almost 6 months and we just did baby wearing on our walks. Also, the indie and I think the era recline flat so they are safe for less than 6 month olds without any adapter. We ended up with the Chicco keyfit 35 cleartex car seat because I just couldn't justify paying for the fancy Nuna ones even if they are lighter. And it's fine! However the indie is huge and heavy! We ended up getting a small zoe travel stroller (they have one made with recycled fabric!) as well because if we are traveling anywhere the indie takes up a ton of space. We got our zoe from one of those returned/open box websites as well and it was a great deal. I personally really like having two options, one big full size and one super packable travel stroller, but I know that isn't for everyone. I do highly recommend searching all the open box type websites for deals, or of course looking for used strollers if you live in a city or non-rural area. The "greenest" thing is not buying new in my opinion (and it saves $$)

Ha! So many. 1. Bumbleride Indie - great all-purpose stroller for walks, jogs, snowy terrain, etc. 2. Mountain Buggy Nano - work horse travel stroller that can technically fit in most overhead bins (though we usually gate check it). Was nice to have when the kids were very small because it can lay flat. Terrible for snow and sand, but survived uneven paving, cobblestones, some mud, etc. I currently use this as a casual every day stroller and leave it in the back of my car. 3. Thule double chariot - for walks and jogs with both kids, especially useful in the winter because the large wheels are good in snow. 4. Summer Infant 3D Lite - bought this on a vacation that we were confident we could do without a stroller. 5. Cheap Red Kite umbrella stroller - another situation where I thought we could get by with a stroller for the big kid and a carrier for the baby, but gave up and bought the cheapest stroller we could find locally. If I could do it again, I'd get one nice jogging stroller (worth it for the maneuverability in rough terrain even if you don't plan on jogging) and then a cheaper, probably second hand umbrella stroller for casual use and short outings.

We have two. The jogging stroller is definitely the most useful one - obviously it's good for running, but it's also very good on bumpy terrain and is the only one we can use outdoors in the winter. We went with a Bumbleride Indie, but they all seemed pretty comparable when we tested them out. We chose that one because they had adapters for our model of car seat. We also have a Mountain Buggy Nano that can fold up to fit in an overhead compartment. We travel a lot so I thought this would be a really helpful feature, but in hindsight we would have been fine getting a cheap umbrella stroller for every day use and gate checking it for flights. I do like the convenience of a small stroller, especially for quick outings.

Jumping in to second Bumbleride if you're anticipating gravel/trail/park/snow. We LOVE our Indie! It doesn't come sold as a travel system, but the adapters to pop on the carseat (various brands) are very easy to use.

We have a Bumbleride Indie and our kid was tiny at 6 months. He fit well in the harness then and still does now that he’s pushing 2 yo. I can’t speak to how it compares to the more popular brands but we’ve been happy with it. I’m a novice, middle of the pack runner but I used that stroller to train for my first half and it worked well for us!

It depends on what you think your main uses will be. Do you need to carry it up stairs? Are you tight on storage space? Do you value car seat compatibility, jogging, all-terrain capabilities, travel? Will you use the stroller for shopping, on public transport? We have the Bumbleride Indie and love it. 95% of our stroller use in the first 8 months has been walking around the neighborhood. We also take it on trails. It's a beast of a stroller--pretty big and heavy, but handles so well on bumpy trails. Bumbleride also uses safe materials, and their customer service has been excellent.  It would be awful for someone who needs a small stroller, though. It's not great for shopping because it's big and the basket is on the smaller side. But I've taken it shopping literally once--I don't care for shopping with my baby in tow.  Now that baby is 8 months we also bought a travel stroller (Uppababy Minu). We plan to use that for air travel. Our nanny also uses it for day trips to the zoo etc. because it's easier for her to get it in/out of the car. I still use the Bumbleride for the zoo, museum etc. because I find it comfier and smoother, it has a larger sunshade, and it lays flatter for naps.
