Anyone have this stroller? Thoughts?

I have an older model I bought new off ebay.. I think it is 2011?? Maybe?? So I know they've made updates since then, but so far we love it! LO is almost 6 months and we've used it daily since he was probably 4.5.
It was the only stroller we could find and see in person that 1. had "bike" wheels and not tiny hard rubber ones 2. handled well 3. that I could fold up (I am petite and wimpy).
Let me know if you have any specific questions!

We have a Bumbleride. I think it's an Indie. We got it last summer, so it's a 2012 model. It's an awesome stroller. Everything is adjustable, the foot pad, etc. It folds up nicely. Last weekend, my dad reinflated our front tire because it was low. I love the bike tires on it as well. It's got a really smooth ride too. The reason my brother got one was because the top handle adjusts high enough for tall people like my husband and I and my brother.

We have the Bumbleride Flite 2011 (2012 does not come with a free rain cover!) and LOVE it!

@sslm: We have a park/square up the street from us. We've occasionally taken it off the path. It handles well in those instances. It's a great, sturdy stroller.

Can I ask, has.anyone used it for a newborn without a carrier? I am curious if you can.

@lovelyplum - I don't think you're supposed to use it for a newborn without a carrier. It's not completely enclosed like a bassinet and a newborn would be wobbling around. We used it with a carseat at first and it worked great.

@sslm: we've used it in our yard and on trails and it works great.@LovelyPlum: the newer versions have a carry cot attachment that acts as a bassinet but there's no way a newborn could safely ride without that or in its carseat. Even though it reclines very far back the harness is pretty loose, at 5.5 months and about 18 lbs it isn't snug on my LO (which is fine since he has great control and the foot rest comes up to act as a barrier) we just used the carseat carrier metal adapter and strap, it worked fine.

We just bought the 2013 Indie after nearly 5 months of indecisiveness in regards to a stroller. I'm SO glad we got it! My husband wanted more of a jogger, and I wanted something stylish, and we both got what we wanted. It handles like a DREAM, and there is more than enough room on the bottom to store a diaper bag. It's easy to fold up, and doesn't take up too much room in the trunk of our car.
My daughter is six months old, and naps in it no problem. She and I highly recommend it!
