Bumbleride - Indie All-Terrain Stroller

I'd recommend checking out Bumbleride! They are all-terrain with bike-style air-filled rubber tires. The Era seat does a bassinet mode, or you can buy a separate bassinet. We're on a farm in farmland with no sidewalks and are super happy. We got the Indie + bassinet. It's (a tiny bit) cheaper and lighter than the Vista, and they have a wider range of car seat adapters. The catch is they don't do add-on seats, but they do have a toddler ride board depending on your spacing plans.

The things that will make your particular day easier is where to splurge!! Ours were strollers and a bottle washer, and no regrets now three months in! Best money we've ever spent. We got a Bumbleride Indie + bassinet attachment. I've nicknamed it the ATV, the tractor, the tank. We live rural on a farmyard, outside for hours everyday, and I've yet to find terrain it can't handle. Just recently added a Nuna Trvl LX on sale at a store closing clearout for quick shops/restaurants and some trips we have planned...also the best thing! Bottle washer is fantastic as a formula family. It was an unplanned splurge the day after we brought baby home. No regrets at all, but if I had connected the dots that we don't run the dishwasher often enough to do bottles, I would have bought one second hand ahead of time. I spent everyday for months on Facebook tracking down other "splurges" secondhand, so while they're pricey items we spent Walmart money on them. Things like a Stokke high chair, Keekaroo Peanut, Baby Bjorn, Lovevery mat. A friend gave me a great price on their Snoo they were done with. Those sorts of things that are durable and easy to clean can be bought for great prices used!! Anything that continues to hold up well will be passed to yet another family to love at a discount, too :)

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.

I bought the Bumbleride Indie which I feel like handles most of these issues. It’s not a true jogging stroller but people run with it (important to me, I’m a runner). Performs well on all terrain, great on trails (we live near a shit ton of trails). Comparable weight to the insta popular strollers brands and seems to fold fairly flat and stands up on its own. Has attachments for most of the popular car seat brands. Has a built in bassinet that can be used with a new born (but you can also buy a nicer bassinet if you prefer). Can be used from birth until 55 lbs. Environmentally friendly and free of chemicals. Bought the 2024 model last month for like $200 off. Seems like that hits most of your checklist. Only thing is I’ll have to test it for travel but it doesn’t seem that cumbersome to me. Read more here: https://canada.bumbleride.com/products/indie-all-terrain-stroller-new

It seems to me like most stroller systems have attachments or adapters for most of the popular car seat brands. I think you have to think about what’s important to you. I’m super active and live near a conservation area with a ton of hiking trails that I’d like to take my little guy on a lot of walks on. I just bought the Bumbleride Indie stroller for that reason, bc it handles super well on trails/gravel/you name it and you can run with it. Unlike most other true jogging strollers, you can use it with baby starting on day 1 (not for running, I just mean it’s versatile) and it converts to a bassinet. I haven’t bought a car seat yet but I know it’s compatible with the brands I was thinking about. I felt overwhelmed too, but for me, thinking about what was important to me helped narrow down the choices.

I got the Indie as well. We live near a ton of trails and I’m excited to try it out when baby gets here!

I don’t have an answer for you, but you could think about the Bumbleride Indie. It’s not a true jogging stroller but it’s apparently great on different kinds of terrain. You can also run with it. That’s what we got bc we live near a ton of trails, including gravel, and I wanted something that would handle snow well too (I’m in Canada). I know it’s compatible with Chicco.

I have the Bumbleride Indie and I think the only difference is that it isn’t parent facing and has 3 wheels, which I preferred bc I plan to run with baby once they’re old enough. But apparently the Bumblerides are amazing in the snow and we live near a ton of trails so I’m looking forward to testing this out this winter! Plus I loved the lie flat option too.

We have the Indie as well! Looking forward to running with baby once he is old enough. Did you wait until 6 months? Also thinking of buying a used Thule chariot for biking.

We have a Bumbleride Indie from 2017 that we bought used. We have one child and have used it from day one through now (almost 5). It’s great to jog with, we’ve taken it on trails, and countless walks. It’s in excellent condition still! Edit: adding that we live in Portland, Oregon and the thing is wonderful up/down hills, and survived our rainy seasons.

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

Bumbleride indie or speed! Theyre a super nontoxic and eco friendly brand! [bumbleride](https://bumbleride.com)

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.

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!
