Product Review

Pros:

• Easy to fold and unfold
• Moves very easily over smooth, rough and uneven terrain
• Very easy to maneuver through twists and turns
• Baby harness is easy to use

Cons:

• May be too wide for narrow spots like a small supermarket aisle

Ample storage space, an adjustable footrest, comfortable handlebar, and alarge wheels are just some of the features we loved about the Bumbleride Indie. Bonus—it’s easy to push and turn through all terrains. It’s available in a variety of colors; Seagreass, Spice, Lava, Ruby and Vita.

One of my stops at ABC Kids was a hometown favorite of mine, Bumbleride. I always have a blast with the Bumbleride crew and that day was no exception. While visiting their booth, I got a chance to see the new colors and features for 2013 and get a sneak peak at the brand new Bumbleride Era stroller – coming mid-2013. It’s so new that I was only able to see a digital picture of the stroller and a list of its features. And I liked what I saw…

Let’s start with the new features and colors for 2013.

The Bumbleride colors are becoming more vibrant and bold, but still represent what Bumbleride is known and loved for – color mixed with comfort, eco-conscious materials, functionality and practicality. New fabric types and colors will be featured on the entire 2013 collection, beginning with the Indie in January.

NEW COLORS FOR 2013

• Papyrus – a vibrant green with a soothing blue seat.
• Cayenne – a two-toned spicy red.
• Lotus Pink – a dark teal with a splash of pink.
• Lotus Blue – a dark teal with a splash of blue.
• (Lotus is available with a bright blue or pink canopy (packaged separately) and will be available through specialty retailers only.

NEW FABRICS FOR 2013

• 50 percent of the exterior fabric is made using recycled PET (plastic bottles).
• 50 percent of the interior fabric is made using bamboo charcoal.

NEW FEATURES FOR 2013

• The new harness features a 5-point breakaway system that prevents entanglement and will be added to all models for 2013.
• The Toddler Board accessory attaches with a clamp system and adapts to the Indie and Indie Twin models.

CHANGES TO THE 2013 INDIE

• The slightly redesigned frame makes it more suitable for joggings due to the frame’s front footwell, which places weight further back on the stroller.
• New easy to adjust footrest for infants (with buttons on the outside).
• Deeper footwell for larger toddlers.
• Comes standard with a foldable bumper bar and universal car seat adapter.
• New fabrics and colors.
• New 5-point break-away harness.

CHANGES TO THE 2013 INDIE TWIN

• Comes standard with foldable bumper bars and universal car seat adapter.
• New fabrics and colors.
• New 5-point break-away harness.

CHANGES TO THE 2013 FLITE

• The 2013 Flite will be compatible with the Carrycot.
• New fabrics and colors.
• New 5-point break-away harness.

THE NEW 2013 BUMBLERIDE ERA DETAILS
As soon as I have pictures, I will share, but for now… let these details (and my word that it’s going to be awesome) hold you over.

SLIDE AND LOCK SYSTEM
The Bumbleride Era uses a unique slide and lock system to attach its seating components to its chassis. This new system provides the most lateral support possible, minimizing the seat’s movement on the frame. This results in a more durable system that will function better and last longer.

CUSTOM CONFIGURATIONS
The Bumbleride Era chassis is designed to accommodate a variety of seating options specifically formed to fit your little one throughout all stages of his early development. The system’s options consist of a lightweight aluminum chassis, infant car seat adapter, bassinet, modular/reversible seat as well as a lightweight soft seat designed specifically for larger toddlers. The new optional Toddler Board attaches to Era to provide a ride along feature for growing families.

FABRICS AND MATERIALS
The Bumbleride Era will be available in 6 bold color options. Each fabric option utilizes 50% recycled polyester exterior fabric and 50% bamboo charcoal interior fabric. The interior fabrics that touch baby utilize bamboo charcoal’s unique features like moisture absorption, temperature regulation and prevention of bacterial growth.

SUSPENSION
The Bumbleride Era’s 10” rear and 8” front wheels are supported by durable suspensions that make city walking as smooth as possible.

5-POINT BREAKAWAY HARNESS
The Bumbleride Era’s one-push breakaway harness is easy to adjust and separates into 5 components, helping to prevent your baby from becoming entangled.

Bumbleride is on a roll creating their trademark strollers in the most fashionable colors! The new Bumbleride Indie 2013 Papyrus is a beautiful new green and blue combination, taking over the Seagrass. The Indie 2013 Aqua color has been “re-shaded” in a different color for practicality, and the  2013 Cayenneis  a new red color that we were pumped to see:) The Indie Jet 2013 is now all black and there is now a Lotus Blue and Lotus Pink color. All new colors will come in the Bumbleride Indie Double 2013 as well.

Next year is expected to be a big year for Bumbleride! After a “new stroller hiatus” since releasing the Flite in 2010, Bumbleride is planning to debut the do-it-all Bumbleride Era. This modular stroller will be a one-is-all-you-need type of stroller. Little details have been released about the new  buggy but we wanted to share what we have. I did have the opportunity to see a sketch of the new stroller but Bumbleride isn’t releasing the image yet as it isn’t the final product. Here is what we know:

Slide and Lock System
The Bumbleride Era uses a unique slide and lock system to attach its seating components to its chassis.  This new system provides the most lateral support possible, minimizing the seat’s movement on the frame. The result is a more durable system that will function better and last longer.

Custom Configurations
The Bumbleride Era chassis is designed to accommodate a variety of seating options specifically formed to fit your little one throughout all stages of his early development.  The system’s options consist of a lightweight aluminum chassis, infant car seat adapter, bassinet, modular/reversible seat as well as a lightweight soft seat designed specifically for larger toddlers.  The new optional Toddler Board attaches to Era to provide a ride along feature for growing families.

5-point Breakaway Harness
The Bumbleride Era’s one-push breakaway harness is easy to adjust and separates into 5 components, helping to prevent your baby from becoming entangled.

Sounds interesting, right?!? Well, it looks pretty cool from the sketches too! We’ll all just have to wait to see the finished product when we get our hands on one and bring you a Baby Gizmo video review!

La Indie de Bumbleride est une poussette 3 roues tout droit venue des USA (de Californie pour être exact), que j’ai eu la chance de tester avant sa commercialisation en France.
Très légère pour une 3 roues (moins de 9 kg), elle est également très pratique, avec beaucoup de petits détails malins…

Je vous laisse la découvrir en vidéo…

Every once in a while we come across a baby or kid product that we simply can’t imagine life without. The Bumbleride Parent Pack is one of those products. I cannot remember how we used our strollers before we had the Parent Pack to hold and organize our things on the go.

We first told you about the Parent Pack last year after spying it at the ABC Kids Expo.

The Parent Pack is made of a durable fabric and attaches directly to your stroller – Bumbleride and beyond. Because the console is made of fabric, you can fold your stroller while it is still attached – you get the function without any hassle. The Parent Pack has two cup holders and a zippered pouch that is perfect for cell phone, keys and more. I’ve been walking through our village to pick up my daughter from preschool and then back across the village to meet my son at the school bus stop. I seriously cannot imagine doing that without my water bottle totally handy in the Parent Pack. I also love having my cell phone safe and easily accessible in the Parent Pack so I can play music or actually answer the phone before it goes to voice mail because I’m digging around a stroller basket or my diaper bag. Another great feature? This is a two-cup holder that doens’t add any width to your stroller. It’s particularly important for twin strollers, and, yes, this is compatible with the Bumbleride Indie Twin.

Don’t have a Bumbleride? Fear not. The Parent Pack attaches using velcro so the fit can be adjusted to fit most strollers. It’s on a Bumbleride Indie in the photo above, and here are some photos of us using the Parent Pack on other strollers.

Shop! The Bumbleride Parent Pack stroller console is $24.99. Trust us, this is money well spent to make your stroller more parent friendly and convenient.

Thanks to Bumbleride for providing a sample.

Looking for a new ride for your little one? You’re in luck. Just like we did in the winter and spring, it’s time to round up the best new stroller releases of the season. Your favorite brands haven’t necessarily reinvented the wheel this season — but they came pretty close.

From a lightweight double umbrella stroller to the most innovative jogging stroller ever made (seriously — if you don’t believe me, read on!), here are the hottest new strollers to know about.

2012 Bumbleride AQUA

Babble Best All-Terrain/Jogger Stroller-“The Bumbleride Indie was one of our favorite strollers of the year, but since then the brand has released two special editions: the Natural Edition (made with sustainable bamboo and 50 percent recycled materials) and the Movement Edition (designed for a sporty, active lifestyle.)”- Babble, http://www.babble.com/products/baby-products/best-stroller-baby-jogger-pram-lightweight-jogging-bumbleride-special-edition/#blogger

Cool Mom Picks-”When I say I have found the stroller of my dreams, you’d better believe it.Every detail has been carefully executed. While the Bumbleride rolls like a chariot, it weighs in at just about twenty pounds. It is super easy to fold and unfold (promise, I did it several times). It has great storage space, and a super huge sun canopy and a sunroof, too. Score!” http://coolmompicks.com/2011/08/finally_a_stroller_that_gets_i.php#ixzz1hsOLrF00

People Magazine Celebrity Babies-”Where do we begin! Gliding with ease when pushed, the fully adjustable seat allows an even cozier ride when baby falls asleep. And while it maneuvers like a dream, it offers a smooth break with a simple push of the foot locking both wheels at the same time.

There’s also enough storage room for all your baggage. And to make our hearts race even more, it folds easily, complete with a strap to carry it. With an ample canopy that keeps the sun out, there’s also a pocket for storage and a peek-a-boo window so you can see your child.

But most of all, it’s made with a super soft blend of recycled and bamboo fabrics which has the natural ability to absorb moisture, regulate temperature and inhibit bacterial growth. So if you’re an eco-minded parent, this sleek ride was made for you.” http://celebritybabies.people.com/2011/08/29/bumbleride-indie-stroller-natural-edition-review/

She Knows Parenting Awards 2011- 2nd Place and Editor’s Choice -”This product is great for newborns and toddlers alike and has an adjustable reclining backrest for optimal comfort. Other features include rear suspension, a storage basket and a removable cup holder. This is perfect for the active parent who loves to jog or hike but wants to take baby with them!” http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/awards/parenting-awards-2011/category/baby-gear

The winner of the Best Double Stroller for Twins is…

Bumbleride Indie Twin

Bumbleride’s first side-by-side stroller, Indie Twin provides the best of both worlds by accommodating both infants and older siblings. The independent seating system allows you to accommodate each individual child with backrests, canopies and footrests that can all be adjusted independently from one another.

Compare Prices | Manufacturer’s Website | Stroller Review

Why it’s a favorite: “The Indie Twin is the best stroller for twins due to its independent and custom seating, one hand push and steering, easy fold, large canopies, lots of storage, infant readiness, dual car seat compatibility, and all-terrain. Not to mention awesome looking”

http://multiples.about.com/od/readerschoiceawards/ss/2012-Parenting-Twins-And-Multiples-About-Com-Readers-Choice-Awards_4.htm

Babble Best Luxury Double Stroller-“And if you want to take it shopping, the Bumbleride can comfortably fit through any standard doorway with exceptional maneuverability. Plus, the features are off the charts: Plush seating, cushioned handle bars, an extra large sun canopy and lots of storage make it one of the most comfortable rides we tested. It can also handle uneven terrain and off-road hills better than most.” – Babble

Baby Gizmo- Top Pick All-Around Twin Stroller- “The Bumbleride Indie Twin 2011 is our TOP PICK! It is not only gorgeous but a practical stroller that is parent and twin friendly. This all-terrain stroller is perfect for twins because:

1. It can accommodate 2 infant car seats (Maxi Cosi) at the same time! With twins, how do you choose who stays in a car seat and who gets the stroller seat in the other double stroller options?
2. It can accept two carrycots at the same time. Turn your Indie Twin into a double, luxury pram by having your babies ride in style in their own carrycots.
3. The seats have flat reclines that you could use the stroller seats from birth for each baby.

The Indie Twin also sports an adjustable handlebar, huge canopies, a large basket and fabulous maneuverability”- Baby Gizmo
