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.

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”

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

With the recent birth of my 3^rd child, I was in desperate need of a double stroller. I took the task of choosing the perfect double stroller very seriously. In fact, almost too seriously; I asked friends for recommendations, I borrowed friend’s strollers, I scoured the internet for consumer reports and I drove myself and my family crazy with my stroller indecisiveness. I knew that I wanted a jogging stroller because we are always on the go and out and about. Other than that, I needed a lot of help making a decision.

When it came time to purchase a double stroller I chose Joggermom to make the purchase from. Joggermom has a large selection of the best strollers on the market. Even more than that, Kelly Morse, founder of Joggermom is a mother of 4 and a jogger. She has real life experience managing kids and strollers and craziness all while being active; I could relate and I trusted her opinion. I loved that she has honest and experienced reviews for each of the strollers she sells on her site. Kelly Morse has been in the jogging stroller business for over 5 years! Joggermom is also easy to navigate and offers free shipping for orders over $99, no sales tax too!
My stroller indecisiveness journey had lead me to choose between a BOB Revolution SE Duallie Stroller and a Bumbleride Indie Twin Original Stroller. I chose the Bumbleride because I fell in love with it when I read about it online and when I tested a friend’s Bumbleride out for myself. It is sturdy enough for the track that I walk on every week, classy enough for the mall, small enough to fit in my trunk and it maneuvers like a dream. Made possible by the dual front swiveling wheels-its maneuverability is my absolute favorite feature of my Bumbleride.

Born out of San Diego in 2004 by a husband and wife team, Bumbleride has brought an intuitive style with a twist of class to the stroller market.  This intuitive design is what made the Bumbleride stand out for me. It is easy to fold, easy to open and easy to carry and store.
Other features that sold me on my Bumbleride are the super large SPF 45 Sun Canopy that reflects heat and the large storage basket. Having an easily accessible and large storage basket was at the top of my list, having 3 kids requires lots of stuff. I also love the 12’ air-inflated tires, I can push over the bumpiest of bumpy stuff and it doesn’t bobble the kids around like other strollers, I love that.

                     
Since purchasing a double stroller was not only an expensive decision for me but also a stressful one, I am happy to report that Kelly Morse of Joggermom was patient with my incessant needy questions and she even help guide me to making a decision on which stroller to choose. I strongly suggest you check out Joggermom for your next stroller purchase.

Choosing a pram can be the toughest decision of them all. You could end up going round in circles literally. It’s almost like choosing a new car! You’ll use it practically everyday, everywhere in every way so you want to get the right one for you and your bebe plus look stylish at the same time. Yeah yeah you know it.

So weigh a few things up..

• What activities will you mainly be doing (apart from the sleep dance)?
• How much are you willing to spend? (and get it right the first time to avoid buying multiple prams!
• Is it suitable for both parentals?
• What extras come with it?
• How long do you want it to last you?

We wanted an outdoorsy pram of course with the “intention” of jogging off the extra kilos gained during pregnancy. It needed to be sturdy yet stylish and perhaps practical if possible at the same time. I was willing to shop around to get the best price without sacrificing these specific factors.

Here’s what super dooper pram we bought for Baby Budge and why:

Introducing the BUMBLERIDE Indie!

• STYLISH like the Bugaboo but without the price tag
• DURABLE & 3 wheeler like the Baby Jogger but noone has one!
• OVERSIZED SPF sun canopy to totally block out those rays
• RECLINING backrest- upright to flat for sleeping
• ADJUSTABLE footrest for my fast growing giraffe baby
• COMPACT fold to shove in the boot with the rest of your shopping
• ADJUSTABLE handle height for giraffe parents
• SUSPENSION & 12 inch tyres suitable for multi terrain

But>>>>> The BIGGEST point of all is its PRICE! I found this beauty while checking out the ‘Baby Jogger’ online. The Baby Jogger is quite similar in features, is available in Australia BUT sells in America for literally HALF the price! So after discovering these significant savings I checked out other overseas brands/companies who ship internationally and the Bumbleride Indy emerged!

Bumbleride will be coming to Australia.. pop by their facebook page for raves, I’ve already converted two of my mates who absolutely love it too
