Bumbleride pro anywhere? Indie/Rocket related...

[DisneyWorldNanny]

So we got this Bumbleride Flyer and love it... Now I'd like you Indie/Rocket owners to fill me in on that stroller.

Some of you may remember that we have been looking for a new jogger for the beach after our brand new Baby Trend Expedition rusted after 3 months of very light use....we have a bunch of strollers- it was only used at the beach. It will not fold and so it gets thrown in the back of my mom's SUV open! not all that convenient... so we need a new one but not completely desperate...you know what I mean We have a jogger so long as we don't need the third row of seats!

I was on the look out for a BOB but no one on my Craigslist wants to be reasonable...a lady posted a chocolate/pink one but wanted $275 for it She said she has used it almost daily for *only* 2 years swearing up and down that she paid $600 for it ....sigh- correct me if I am wrong but they are $389 everywhere!! We're not trying to be unreasonable but that's not "lightly used"...

Anyways- I talked to a lady who has a Rocket...It's 2-3 years old, EUC and in the Ruby fabric. She says she is very clean and takes great care of her things- all the pieces are present including the pump, boot and liner etc. She says it is exactly the same as the Indie which is the current Bumbleride jogger- they do look the same but I'm sure there are differences...

Does anyone know anything? I have never seen the Rocket or the Indie but it is a higher end jogger so I'm thinking it will not/should not rust.

If there any differences that you could tell me about or if you have it and love/hate it I'd love to know!

Thanks!

i just sold my indie last week. i was very sad to see it go (need a double jogger)
i absolutely loved it. i didn't jog with it though. dh did. he didn't love it for jogging, but he still jogged with it. i think it always kinda veered to one side with the wheel locked and that just tended to make jogging more of a challenge, but it sounds like lots of joggers do that...
anyway, loved the fold...and pretty much everything else about it. i had recently been comparing others because when we get a new one i wanted to make sure it was going to last several years. the seat height was about the same in the indie and the bob.
