We have a Bumbleride (Indie which is now called the rocket) that we have used with DD for almost 2 years and we love it! I would buy it a thousand times over. Let me know if you have any specific q's. Their customer service is amazing as well.

I have the bumbleride stroller and it is awesome for jogging and walks. It is a little big when comparing to the bugaboo. Will this be your only stroller? If you are a runner or long walk person I would get the Bumbleride, it has an attachment for the carseat too. I guess I'm bias though. My other stroller is the orbit which I love too, just not good for running with.

I have the Bumbleride Rocket (Indie) and love it! It's great for all surfaces and really easy to use. My best friend has the Bugaboo and she is constantly worried about it getting stolen!

I really like the bumbleride indie but don't like that you cant change the handle to have baby face you

we considered the bumbleride. unfortunately, i couldn't find a store that carried the indie, so we could only see the flyer, which i didn't care for. however, i ultimately decided not to go with a 3 wheeled jogging stroller for everyday use b/c i find that jogging strollers tend to be a little longer in the front and i think it's a little cumbersome. ultimately, we have decided to go with the bugaboo. that being said, it is really expensive but we are lucky because a group or friends are chipping in to get it for us. even though the bugaboo is expensive, i think you get a lot for your money. you obviously can't compare the cost to travel systems or other strollers that are definitely more cost effective, but if you are looking at strollers in the price range of the bugaboo - i.e. quinny, phil and ted's, etc. and you start adding up the cost to add a bassinet, it sort of works out to be the same, so it's really what you prefer. i also like the bugaboo comes with the bassinet included, which the bumbleride does not.

We're buying the Bumbleride Indie next week. I didn't even consider the Bugaboo. It was too much $$ for me to justify for an item that the reivews didn't fit our lifestyle.

It would be one thing if we were still living in Chicago, but now we live in the Indianapolis suburbs and we need something that folds up well to put in the trunk. The Bumbleride is very lightweight and I think it may be the most compact fold for any stroller of its size.

The Bumbleride Queen B has a bassinet feature so baby can face you, but I liked that the Indie can be a jogging stroller as well.

If you live in a city - the bugaboo is great (but IMO there are much better strollers out there for that money - i'd get the Orbit if money was not an issue for a single baby).

all my friends with the bugaboo that live in suburbia HATE it - it's too hard to get in/out of the car, etc.

I would get the bumbleride indie (rocket) IMO- i prefer a large 3-wheeled tire stroller- they go over all terrain. I have a Phil & Teds and LOVE it.

I just got the Valco Trimode twin for my twins - which is similar.

I worry about any of my strollers getting stolen- they are all expensive, so i wouldn't base my choice on that- but how I plan to use it, etc.
