2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.I could not have asked for a nicer double stroller. I can steer it with one hand, it fits thru a single door and it is the best quality with comfy seats and huge canopies. I dont jog with it, but my husband tried and he said the wheels wobbled really badly. I called customer servie and they said that is what happens when you start running instead of a light jog. I wish I had invested the money sooner because it makes shopping a breeze :)
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.This is a great stroller! Solid construction, quality materials, smooth ride, and canopies that are the best I've seen! The 2013 model offers larger canopies and the same material on the bumper bars as the rest of the stroller; no foam which is nice for people with kids that like to chew. I bought the Cayenne red color, and it's stunning. My daughter loves this stroller, and I can't wait to use it with my new baby when he gets here (the seats recline all the way so you can use it from birth). For now, she puts her doll in the other seat :). For a side-by-side double, this stroller is surprisingly not too heavy (and I'm 7 months pregnant, lifting it in and out of the truck). In fact, I felt that my daughter's single jeep all-terrain stroller felt heavier & bulkier. It's very easy to open & close. Being a double, it does take up some space though so an SUV would probably be the ideal way to transport it.As far as comfort I can tell my daughter is very comfortable, considering I bring it to the supermarket and she falls asleep in it in under a minute! The basket is large & I am able to fit a decent amount of groceries in the storage. She hates going food shopping and is awful in a shopping cart so this makes my life a LOT easier.Before buying this stroller I did a lot of research, and the reviews were all positive. One other person said it's not a jogging stroller, and that is true. I wouldn't take it on a jog--but for where I live it's absolutely perfect. We're outdoorsy and cover a lot of different terrain, and when you lock the front wheels this stroller is perfect for that. It's also great for simple walks around the block. We live in Arizona, so this stroller's canopies have my approval for blocking out the sun! Can't find a better canopy. All in all I have nothing bad to say about the 2013 Bumbleride Indie Twin. It's quality all around, with a very well thought-out design.
1 of 2 people found the following review helpful.First of all, when you get this thing, it needs to be assembled. The instructions are pretty clear, BUT please note that in addition to the pictorial instructions, in the same booklet, there are detailed written instructions. The pictures often don't make a lot of sense. I didn't know there were written instructions until I got to the end of the pictures and could have saved a bit of pondering if I had started at the back of the directions.The stroller will stink up your car if you put it in the trunk -- this is because the rubber tires give off rubber tire smells, at least in the heat of summer. I imagine that will lessen over time and be less of a problem in the winter, at least, I hope so.We live in an area with uneven sidewalks that present tripping hazards that always required the regular wheeled stroller to pop a wheelie before pushing, else it stopped the stroller and gave our child a jolt. This one navigates all the cracks quite easily. The largest of them still require a bit of finesse as I don't want to risk damaging the tires or otherwise make the ride too jarring, but in the half mile trip to town I take with it there is only one such crack I encounter whereas I used to have to watch for five or six of them.It is difficult to fold and unfold. At least it remains so after using it a half dozen times. The instructions don't tell you whether you can fold it with the universal car seat adapter. I do, but I can't latch it if the adapter is left on. Fortunately, unlatched, it still folds up close to the same size as latched, and it has two handles that let you lift it and get it into the car and it stores fine unlatched.Unfolding it is tricky. I either have to snap it like a sheet (and sometimes it is confusing to even figure out what end to stand when starting this procedure) or I have to really make an effort to get it unfolded. There has got to be an easier way...and I am probably missing something. Still, I wish it were easier to do.Our 2.5 year old loves the stroller. He is very comfortable in it and doesn't complain about riding in it very often. We use the universal adapter to secure our snap and go for our 1 month old and push both of them around the neighborhood to go to the park or to go shopping. It is heavy and it is hard to push the thing up hills, at least fully loaded with toddler and car seat. But it beats carrying them!We love the canopies which do a great job protecting from the sun. I don't love the straps used to raise and lower the seats, but they have no trouble holding our toddler's weight so they function just fine. Not sure what a better system would be, I just don't like having to fiddle with the straps.As others note, it fits through doors as long as you don't attach the included cup holder to the side. But getting through doors is only half the battle -- in some stores it just won't fit. But this is the same with any stroller. Super long ones don't work well with tight turns and super wide ones don't work well with narrow aisles.I saw a city select stroller the other day and thought it looked great too... it definitely is a lot more narrow and not too long because it uses stadium type seating rather than putting one child directly in front of the other (this is also better than putting one on top of the other like the more compact tandem strollers do). Both strollers are similarly priced, though the Bumbleride will definitely be a more comfy ride on uneven surfaces because all wheels are air inflated.As for storage, the Bumbleride is pretty good. Unfortunately the undercarriage is kind of low so it is not easy to put a backpack in their, or a large stuffed diaper bag. But you can get a diaper bag in there, and as well as a backpack with a bit of shoving.The handlebars can be adjusted up and down which is handy for parents of differing heights. When you come to a curb if the handle bars are too high you cannot easily pop a wheelie to get over the curb. I need to see about going over curbs backwards like someone suggested in a review of the city select, but I don't have much trouble just pushing down and popping the wheelie. However, it is a bit harder for my wife.
