The Strollerthon Giveaway - Bumbleride Indie Review!

PES has announced that they will be raffling off the Bumbleride Indie Stroller that was graciously donated by Bumbleride to help raise money at the October Strollerthon for this important group's work.  So, we thought it would be nice for you to hear from an actual Mom and Indie owner regarding her thoughts on being a Bumbleride family.  And don't forget to get involved with the October 2nd Strollerthon in support of Postpartum Education and Support.  You can join us for the walk, sponsor a walker or simply donate to the cause.  See the ad on the right of the page and click through for additional information, we thank you for your support!

Bumbleride Indie Review by Austin H. of Florida:
Loving my Bumbleride!

Preparing to be a new parent is overwhelming and choosing the right stroller to carry your precious cargo only adds to the madness!  The choices were overwhelming, from style to color; with this accessory or that.  After a lot of time and research, we decided on the Bumbleride Indie and we couldn’t be happier.  Having recently traveled to Australia, I loved the idea of a pram but also wanted car seat compatibility and a stroller that would grow with our son.  The Indie has it all!  Using the car seat with the stroller couldn’t be easier and takes only seconds.  Without the car seat, the newborn headrest kept my son comfortable and safe when he was younger and the seat reclines easily and quickly for naps or times when they want to sit up and see!
With the carrycot, we were able to go on long walks or outings without his naptime being interrupted and he remained comfy and cozy.  We also found that we used the carrycot for naps when we were away from home, a perfect little place for him to sleep at friends’ houses!
Naptime with the Uncles!
Naptime anywhere!

Incredibly designed, the Indie has great underneath storage space, perfect for any size diaper bag and more!  It folds up with ease, locks into place and weighs less than many of the other travel systems and strollers out there.  I am able to put it in the car with one hand, which, with a newborn and all their stuff, is very helpful!
Last, but certainly not least, it is a stylish stroller that comes in great color combinations and offers fun and practical accessories like the carrycot, car seat cover and snack pack.  Rarely did a day go by where I did not receive compliments on and questions about the stroller.

Afforable, adaptable, stylish and safe, we are, and will always be, a loyal Bumbleride family!
