The Bumbleride Indie is a popular all-terrain stroller that receives good reviews from experts and owners. In particular, the Bumbleride Indie attracts attention for numerous comfort features that parents like, including a cushy padded seat, four-point recline and foot rest. Owners also say the Bumbleride Indie is very stable and the components can be adjusted quickly. Like other all-terrain strollers, the front wheel swivels, but can be locked into position for better tracking and stability. The adjustable handlebar also earns praise. However, reviewers point out several downsides to the Bumbleride Indie. It's expensive, and the 45-pound weight limit is low for an all-terrain stroller. In comparison, the top-rated BOB Revolution (*Est. $390) has a 70-pound weight limit.
We found the best reviews of the Bumbleride Indie at parenting publications such as Fit Pregnancy magazine, Cookie magazine and Babble.com.
