Recurring UNSAFE issues with this pram - DO NOT BUY
This pram is UNSAFE! Pram is still in warranty and experiencing ongoing very unsafe issue, when the pram is in use it shudders and comes to a stop triggered by uneven path or grass not some crazy terrain path - keep in mind this is advertised as an ALL TERRAIN pram!!! It is so unsafe to have a child in the shuddering is violent. Was told it would be solved by replacing the axle, this did not resolve the issue! And like others here reporting recurring issues with this pram manufacturers state that this is 'unusual'. They have no regard for safety or quality. I am reporting to ACC and i suggest others do the same to get this unsafe product of the market for children.

Hi Katie, We are proud to represent this great brand by virtue of its quality and function. We worked very hard to solve the problem you described by asking for video and replacing parts. Bumbleride p
... Read morerams regularly receive high ratings and, as the company who imports them, we can attest to the fact that warranty issues with the Indie are rare. We offered to give you a full refund and take the pram back to examine the issue first hand. You accepted this and seemed grateful for this resolution at the time. We look forward to examining your pram further and wish you all the best.
Folding mechanism broke after a few month... twice
I loved that pram, its very comfortable and goes anywhere, no need of any additional accessories and my baby loved it too BUT there's is definitely an issue with it. After 6/8 months the folding mechanism broke. Bumbleride gave me a new one and about 2 year after the same problem happened again!!! And it was a newer model!
Hi Cam,
Great to hear you love the pram but not so good you've had a problem with the folding mechanism. This is very unusual, but we do offer a three year warranty on the frame if you purchased the

The number is 03 9588 0999 or use the contact form on our website. Best regards, JenineHi Jenine, thanks for your reply. As I said in my message, the pram I bought in 2018 was already replaced in 2019. I just can't believe I am the only one who had this issue as it happened to me twice.

A great, attractive pram from a company the best customer service
I chose this pram as I wanted to run once I had my bub. I also wanted a pram that would be attractive and not so big and bulky it’s not practice for everyday shopping. This pram met all these objectives. I also needed some support when I first got my pram and I was blow away at how wonderful the cuisines service is. I would absolutely recommend getting this pram.

Amazing customer service and quality product
We have used our bumbleride indie for 2 kids now and still love it. It’s still in amazing condition after 3.5 years, so easy to collapse and super sturdy. The customer service is also phenomenal. They have sent us out spare parts over the years at no cost and responded same day to emails.

Disappointed with the Bumbleride indie
I purchased because of good reviews but very disappointed. I bought it brand new and my son only 5 months old now. After each walk with my son, it has got flat tyres every single time. Basically the tyres has been changed for all the 3 wheels $25 each wheels.The pump that came with is just crap. I got new hand pump from bunning. Personally, don’t recommend to any new mum at all. And it’s quite heavy take all space in the car boot (SUB shortage)

So sorry to hear that we have not lived up to your expectations. The issue you are experiencing with your tyres is unusual so we are very curious to investigate further. Please give us a call on 03 9588 0999
Absolutely love this pram!!!
bought this pram to replace one of the name brand pram that we had and I must say this pram is so much better and its value for money. Super easy to manoeuvre and great on all kind of roads. bub sleeps longer in it because it lays flat unlike the one we had where her legs were kinda have to be in folded position.
Purchased in at Banana Baby for $675.
Loved by all!
We’ve had our Indie for 2.5 years now and it gets used nearly everyday. I researched in depth as I knew I’d be using my pram for lengthy, all-terrain walks on a regular basis, as well as for trips to the shops, and wanted a pram that ticked as many of my boxes as possible. It ticks all of them, and more!
Massive canopy (bub can be completely shaded)
Magnetic peep-hole (quietly spy on bub)
Foot break (easy, hands-free)
Adjustable foot/leg rest (so much comfier for bub!)
Suspension and steering (can go almost anywhere without difficulty)

Perfect for a family on the move!
We wanted a pram we could take everywhere and the Bumbleride Indie is just that! Perfect for all terrains and super easy to dismantle and put in the back of the car. We got the travel bag as well, which I highly recommend for ease when flying. We also have the bassinet accessory which is great, especially for those early weeks when I really wanted the baby facing us. He goes straight to sleep it in too which is amazing! Highly recommend.
Love it, would definitely buy again!
Gives an excellent smooth ride, even for large toddlers.
Very easy and lightweight to push, even uphill.
Super quick and easy to fold and unfold.
Lightweight to put in and out of car boot.
And excellent feature that it stands up alone when folded up.
Also love the massive canopy!
There's nothing I don't like about this pram. Best one I've ever bought and I'd definitely buy again and recommend to everyone I know needing a pram.

great pram great value
Easy to push, fold and great sun cover and very good suspension. If you are a runner check out the Bumbleride Speed. If you have a second child the Bumbleride Twin is excellent. Eco friendly made with environmental friendly fabrics. Better than other most other 3 wheel all terrain prams
Best 3 Wheel Pram!
This is the best 3 wheel pram! Easy to fold (need two hands) and unfold (can do one handed which is so useful in a pinch). The sunshade is the biggest and best we've seen, perfect for the Australian sun. The extra ventilation you can open up is a great feature.
The ability to lock the front wheel is also handy for running. Love the ability to adjust the seat back from lying down to sitting up and anything inbetween so easily.
Great design- the look as well as the great quality of the build. The recycled material is an extra plus! Love the included pump for the tires.
We also have the newborn carrycot and winter foot muff which have both been fabulous.
Highly recommended!
Bumbleride is hands down the best pram manufacturer. After loving the incredible ease and practicality of the Indie Twin for our twins, it was a no-brainer to get the Indie for our littlest. It's solid, well built, easy to maneuver and super simple to fold. The feature I love most is the canopy - it extends so far that the sun is never in our babe's eyes! I also love the built-in 'bassinet' feature. It couldn't be more perfect a set up for a newborn - simply folding the footrest up makes it extremely cosy without the need for a separate bassinet. We recommend this pram to all our 'parent' friends.

Fantastic pram!
I love this pram. It’s really easy to take out and fold up, and also reasonably light compared to other very expensive prams. I’m a petite and small person so it was very important that I could carry it in and out of the pram easily. The foot muff keeps Bub warm but needs to be purchased additionally.
Highly recommended
So sad, as I was so excited for this Pram!
I purchased the Bumbleride Indie, after reading the fantastic reviews. I feel extremely let down though, as one of the wheels has been flat since we received the pram and has no wheel cap! Which means I have been unable to use my pram for my new born baby. Hopefully we can have the wheel fixed soon.
Hi Bonnie. We saw your review some time ago but was unable to reply via this site. We are pleased to be able to do so now. The tyre should inflate and if it doesn't it may have a puncture. The cap onl

Love the Bumbleride Indie!!
Best purchase! I bought it on a recommendation from another friend. We have the bassinet attachment which is easy to use and attach, we have a Joie Gemm capsule that attaches to it with the Maxi Cosi attachment which makes life so easy. We love the pram attachment, it’s so lightweight, manoeuvres with ease, fits in the boot of our VW Golf easily. Walking to the park is a dream! The colour is stylish (grey) & its well made! I have no hesitation recommending the pram.
Questions & Answers
We’ve had our Bumbleride just over 3 years (outside of its warranty). We are currently using it for our second child, it’s a fantastic pram and very versatile. Unfortunately only recently it hasn’t started locking when open, hence it keeps collapsing in on itself when it’s “lifted up”, like trying to get over a road curb. Not ideal with a baby in it. Has anyone had this issue? Is it fixable? We are a bit rural in Australia, so can’t really find a supplier to ask.
Hi there.
Is the single indie bassinet the same as the bassinet for the double indie?
Thanks,
Leah
I haven’t used them, but I believe they are different dimensions so not transferable. There is a single bassinet and a twin bassinet listed on the Bumbleride Australia website.
Hi Leah. Jess is right. The Indie Twin bassinet is different to the one for the single strollers. Hope this helps
Hi there,
Can you substitute one seat on the twin for a bassinet? The only pictures I can find either have 2 bassinets or 2 seats but not the 1 each configuration.
Thanks,
Emma
