Based on 1 year's data from Mar 17, 2026 How it works
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.
Haven't used it with baby yet, but I got an older Bublerider Indie and it rolls gorgeously when I've tested it. The inflatable wheels are a dream for off roading.
Bumbleride Indie or Era are nice to push in any condition and even a bigger kid fits nicely. Full recline in both of these.
Yes, I have an old one and I've upgraded it over the years with new parts and car seat adapter. Recently, I bought the buggy board because my new baby needs it and the toddler loves riding behind (haven't used the board attachment in snow yet, but it's durable and made using skateboard materials).
I found the most important aspect of baby wearing for hiking, is how often you do it. If this is a weekly event for you, it’ll work because you’ll become proportionally stronger as baby grows heavier. Otherwise, it just gets too hard when from one month to the next you’re suddenly carrying twice the weight. This could be said for baby wearing at large really, I suppose. If planning for extended periods past like 20 mins lol Also, if that describes you, I’d consider a bumbleride indie (stroller). It’s super usable from birth with zero bassinet attachments, the regular “sport” seat also lies 100% flat so it’s safe for sleeping from day 1. It’s also a jogging stroller, with tires like a bicycle so you can add air when needed (has its own pump stashed in a zipper compartment for any need on the go), and you can deflate intentionally for added traction in things like sand or gravel. The canopy is sun-protective. Really I can’t say enough good things about it, two years in. The only downside is I find the undercarriage basket a tad small, I’m very envious of the uppababy baskets lol. But it’s a small complaint. And also something I’d look for used. Set a Facebook marketplace alert for that specific item kind of thing lol
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 $$)
I have the Indie and it’s the BEST. Truly an all terrain stroller. Really high quality and worth every penny,
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.
Really loved our Bumbleride Indie for winter walks with the dog. Our neighbors are inconsistent shovelers at best, and it was able to plough through most snow and ice we encountered.
