Bumbleride Indie Twin stroller (2011) - Reviews

Comments:

This stroller is like a dream come true! It's a smooth ride. Even with 2 toddlers, it can be maneuvered with one hand through aisles, around clothes racks, over bumps and curbs, and through a single doorway. It is extremely comfortable for both of my girls (ages 2 and 4). It fully reclines for naps with room to spare. There's even room to spare for my older daughter who is pretty tall. The basket is huge and fits a diaper bag and several shopping bags. The only downfalls I've come across are after a year of use the tires deflate rather quickly and constantly need air to maintain the smooth, effortless ride. And there are no cup holders for the girls' drinks and the generic ones you can buy don't stay attached. We solved this by attaching one to the handle bars and I just need to manage the drinks. Surely the absolute best baby item we have purchased and worth every cent!

After exhaustive research, we definitely picked the right double stroller for us. The Bumbleride Indie Twin is fabulous! I was worried about fitting through doorways, but it does. Even our interior doors! It's great for long walks and even works with just my toddler in it. The only negative is the amount of space it takes up when folded, but all doubles are like that. I'm thrilled with our purchase! I wish the Bumbleride customer service had been a bit more receptive when my husband called to ask what he could do to repair a scratch he had put on the frame while putting it together. They weren't interested in helping him at all and told him to contact Peppy Parents. But the stroller is fabulous!

I researched double strollers and finally decided on the bumbleride. I am very pleased with my decision. I have a toddler and a new born. My 2 year old is comfortable in it, even with the infant car seat along side her. It maneuvers very well just as well as my bugaboo. The set up is rather simple and it is great to have a stroller you can just open and close without taking anything apart. The basket is a nice size. The only negatives I found with the stroller is that it is a bit heavy and bulky and the buckles can be unfastened by my toddler. You would need an suv or a car with a large trunk. I would buy this stroller again and I would recommend it to a friend.

As soon as we got our Bumbleride Twin we took it out for a spin! It was easy to put together. The ride was very smooth. It's easy to manoeuvre even with both children in it and the car seat. I have a 2yr old and a 7 month old. When I'm out on my own I can carry one child and push and steer the stroller with one hand. The basket is huge. I can fit the diaper bag, blankets, a small cooler, and sweaters for the kids... Taking it jogging is also great however it gets a little heavy pushing it after awhile. I'm not crazy about the seat straps. They are a little flimsy but they do their job. Overall I feel we got the best double stroller in its price range. I would recommend it.

I've had my Indie Twin for 4 months now and it's worked great with my newborn (4 months old) & toddler (21 months old). It's compatible with my infant carrier (Graco Snugride 32), so it didn't require that I buy additional parts just to use it. I've used it on all types of terrain & haven't had a problem with it in the slightest. Plus, it fit into my rather small car which I found most other double strollers would not. My only complaint would be that sometimes I've had the plastic pieces that hold the stroller in the folded position pop open, but I don't find it to be a big deal in the slightest.

This is one of the best purchases I have made as a parent. I bought the Indie Twin just after the birth of my second child, my first was 18 months old. The seats were roomy enough to accommodate my toddler, but comfortable enough for my newborn. I have used to stroller for jogging, shopping, days at the zoo, treks through the woods, cross-country flights, and in every situation and terrain it performs very well. The fashionable look of the stroller sets it apart from other baby joggers. The accessories, for the most part, exceeded my expectations. The underbasket is huge - I can stow my purse, diaper bag, shopping bags, etc., and it is very easily accessible. The sun canopies provide ample shade even when seats are upright. It is very easy to fold and store, the handles make tossing it in the back of my minivan literally no sweat. It is much easier to maneuver than my single shopping stroller...I always prefer to bring the double even if only one of my children is with me! The only design/performance issue I have encountered is the placement of the cupholder. The stroller is as wide as it can be while still fitting through a standard doorway, but the cupholder attaches on the outside of the handle, making the whole apparatus too wide to fit through most doorways. I solved this problem by simply taking off the Bumbleride cupholder and purchasing a generic one that attaches in the middle of the handle. All in all, this is well worth the investment.

After much research and a failed attempt to purchase an inline double stroller, I bought this Indie Twin 2010 stroller and couldn't be happier! My almost two toddler loves it, especially with the snack pack attachment and my almost 2 month baby is secure with a smooth ride. This stoller is a HUGE plus in our lives and I take it everywhere- freedom! The cargo space is large and easy to access. The quality of the stroller is top notch. I like how well thought out everything is... this is how all strollers should be!!! I also own a BOB and the Orbit System and by far.. this is the stroller of choice! Enjoy your purchase as much as I do!!!

Very good stroller. Looks durable, nice and stylish. Strongly recommend to other parents of two.

As do most parents, I did a lot of research before purchasing this stroller and so far I am pleased. Pros: very easy to manuver, great canopies, LOVE the storage basket, comes with tons of accessories, quality materials, very easy to assemble, adjustable handlebar, seat recline and footrests. Cons: It is heavy, bit most doubles are, difficult to fold and locking mechanism is a joke, no hand brake, not really an all-terrain stroller (if this is important, get a BOB), also not compatible with Chicco KF any longer, which stinks. All is all this a solid stroller ideal for city dwellers and some suburban moms who don't mind lifting it. The storage alone is a step above most higher-end doubles.

This is my first double stroller so I don't have much to compare this to, but the Bumbleride Indie Twin is a great stroller (did alot of research). I thought it was easy to set up and function. The 29" width is fabulous! It fits through practically any doorway (without the cupholder which sticks out of the side and is a little flimsy). The basket is a good size, but access is slightly narrow. I have not yet mastered folding it down (which is why I marked "bulky" above), but thats partially my own fault for not following the directions more closely. I can still quickly colapse halfway and get it in the back of my Pilot. The ride is smooth on any surface. I have to say its nice to be able to go from paved surfaces to grass/gravel or use on a bumpy sidewalk with almost no trouble. I currently have a 7 week old and a 2yr old and the stroller works great with only one or both in it. The handling is great too, turns on a dime (even with one hand!). I think the 4 wheels vs 3 is the way to go with a double. The only small downfall is my baby carrier (Graco snugride) hangs over into the 2nd seat, but its not too bad and not that big of a deal since my baby won't be in the carrier too much longer. I think its great that almost any carrier will fit in it and you don't have to buy an adapter. Many of the better strollers do not come with any accessories which is ridiculous. Overall, I think this is the best stoller for the $$.

I really love this stroller and get a LOT of compliments when out with it. It is easy to open, seems quite comfortable for the kids (I have an infant and a 2 year old), has a HUGE basket underneath, comes standard with most of the accessories that other brands make you pay separate for, and glides around sooooo easily. The steering on this stroller is amazing and the ride is quite smooth. It is a bit heavy but that's to be expected for a double. Fits easily through nearly any door that I've had t go through

For a side by side stroller this one's GREAT! Lots of functions, easy to maneuver. I originally bought the Phil&Teds Vibe inline stroller and was so unhappy with it. First of all, my toddler didn't fit into the rumble seat so I wasn't going to be able to use it until my second child was big enough to hold her head up (3-4 months). And it was really hard to maneuver. So I went with a side by side. And although wider than an in-line stroller, this one fits easily through doorways and is easy enough to maneuver with one hand. I also love all the features...individual seat adjustments, easy breaking, huge basket underneath, and that it comes standard with the infant car seat adapter! And on top of it all...it looks great! I will admit, it is heavy, but so are all double strollers. And because this is a side by side, it is bulky. But then again, I'm used to my great single stroller. But for a double, I don't know if it gets any better than this. I Love it!!

I use the stroller for some jogging at 8-9 mile pace n it wiggled when front wheels are unlocked. Could have used some ind suspension on the front wheels to keep it in contact with road. Still bulky but I guess it comes with territory of duals. Looks great with great nylon fabric, cleans easily. If using with 1 kid only there is a pulling to the heavier side if jogging, but can't notice with walking speeds.

I love my bumbleride and wanted one since I found out we were pregnant with #2. The color is super cute and it looks very stylish. I get complimented often. Works great with my 2 1/2 year old and 1 year old. They love to hold hands as we walk. The storage area underneath is huge con is a thin opening making a tight squeeze for my large diaper bag. Easy to manuever glides over about anything. The biggest con is the size when folded, very large bearly fits in my trunk.

I love this stroller! It works for my three year old and my teeny tiny one year old who was born very prematurely. This is a fantastic stroller for preemies; it's definitely the best I've found and I tried several because when we first brought our daughter home she couldn't breathe in an upright sitting position so finding a stroller that would work was very difficult. My husband and I both use this stroller for jogging and walking, running errands, and just about everything else. My only complaint is that I wish I would have found it sooner!
