Indie vs Rocket August 24, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
The Bumbleride Indie is a 2007 upgrade to the Bumbleride Rocket (which is apparently being discontinued). Unfortunately for those who liked many of the design features of the Rocket, the Indie includes many "downgrades" from the Rocket.
After surveying a lot of strollers, we really liked the Rocket for a variety of features. It had an elegant design, was spacious, quite easy to fold down and the reclined seat seemed quite comfortable for the baby. Since Indie was being released at about the same time, we talked to bumbleride and were told that if anything, the Indie was more compact and easy to steer - while retaining many of the features of the Rocket that we'd liked. Wrong !!
The biggest dissappointment we had with the Indie was the recline of the seat. While the Rocket goes down completely flat, the Indie at its most reclined position still keeps the baby at a fair incline... which doesnt seem very comfortable for an all-terrain, "jogger-like" stroller.
Secondly, the "improved" folding mechanism that is supposed to make the Rocket more compact than the Indie, is a pain to operate. Bumbleride's solution is to replace the old (comfortable) pulling and folding mechanism with a series of steps which are (a) quite strenuos and (b) very poorly described in their user guide. This would easily be the stroller that you would see someone struggle with as they go through airport security, to fold... Once you do get it folded down it does become more compact than the rocket. But its a hazzle !
The Indie of course does retain many other features of the rocket and has some improvements in locking the wheels etc. But in general it was a dissappointing buy. So, we are returning the Indie. And hoping that Bumbleride does fix some of these issues. Coz we really did like the Rocket to start with!!!
