BruneiUsing the Multi-use Bars Correctly
February 1st, 2012
It has come to our attention that there is a possibility for multi-use bars included with Indie & Indie Twin models (I-110, I-205, IT-111 and IT-305) to be used incorrectly, resulting in a potential strangulation hazard. The multi-use bar has three positions: 1. Upright (to be used with a toddler), 2. Mid (to only be used when installing an infant car seat) and 3. Folded.
Even though Bumbleride’s packaging instructions, as well as labeling on the multi-use bar, clearly explain correct and incorrect use, we are finding that some consumers are still using these multi-use bars inappropriately.
Because safety is of the utmost concern to Bumbleride, we are releasing this clear warning in conjunction with the CPSC on how the multi-use bars are to be correctly used.
The multi-use bars were included as accessories on these models and are not needed for the safety of your child. They can also be removed if desired. Please always ensure that your child is secure using the 5-point harness in the seat.

Is it true that the multi-use bar is being removed from the strollers currently on the market? I recently placed an order for a new Indie but really need the infant seat compatibility. If so, any idea when the new car seat adapters will be available?

Hi Holly! The 2012 Indie and Indie Twins no longer come standard with a Multi-Use bar (bumper or infant adapter) due to the above mis-use concern. The Multi-use bar is now two separate accessories for purchase and will be available later this month. Please stay tuned on our website or social channels for the release announcement. Please note you can also use your Bumbleride on the lowest seat recline setting with infants and newborns. We apologize for any confusion and for not having these accessories yet available for order. We appreciate your patience and thank you for your interest in Indie! -Ryan

Hi,
Is the Multi-Use bar available yet? We are thinking about purchasing the 2012 Indie Twin but only see the car seat adapter available at this point. Can the Multi-Use bar be used to accomedate Chico Ketfit30?
