Our Stroller Review

We give this stroller a rating of 4 / 5 stars based on our 7 critierias of what makes a great stroller. Read on to see why this stroller will suit your lifestyle and see
what's included.

 

Travel convenience:  Nothing is better than to take both your kids out and have a great time wherever you go. It's also easy to maneuver around with the front swivel wheels in tight spaces like a grocery store, when the time comes to jog with your 2 kids, just lock the front wheel in place for safety.

(Note: the Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller is intended for light jogging only, for intense jogging see BOB Sport Utlity Duallie Double Jogging Strollers)

The folded dimensions are 15"H x 29" W x 32" D and has a weight capacity of 90 lbs. With the storage bag included, you can take your Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller travelling or use it to store it away to keep it clean and in good condition.

Safety:  For the safety of your kids in a jogging stroller it's all about the materials and the safety harness. Not only does the Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller include two quick release 5-point safety harnesses, infant headrests and shoulder pads are added for your baby's comfort and security.

As for the materials of the stroller, the chassis is made of lightweight anodized aluminum. It is the best material to use for a jogging stroller because it's light and durable at the same time. You will need a twin stroller that is light as possible because you have double the weight to push!

Note: The Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller is suitable for newborns, but we recommend 6 months of age if you are going jogging with the stroller.

Mobility:   Any parent would appreciate swivel wheels on a stroller that rotates 360 degrees with an option to lock in place.  Many jogging strollers on the market comes with a fixed front wheel, which is great for jogging on a dirt trail cause it gives you superb control in steering your stroller to go straight, but try turning around in a grocery store!  For parents who would like to bring their stroller to wherever they go, the Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller is a great option for it's size compared to BOB's Revolution Duallie Double Jogging Stroller.

Normally if the 3 tires are all 12"s, it does not give you as much stability as larger rear wheels would.  Compared to the BOB's Revolution Duallie Double Jogging Stroller 16" rear wheels, it's ability to go on rugged terrain is not as good as a jogging stroller because the 3 wheels are only 12"s.  But in this case the Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller has 4 wheels so stability may not be much of a problem, the only issue would be the extra wheel you will have to push to get the stroller going.  Overall it is a safe stroller to take a jog in because the front swivel wheel has an option to lock in place to keep the stroller from swerving to the side while running.

As for the wheels, the slim 12" air inflated tires helps make the ride smoother and easier to push than never flat tires like the Contours Strollers.  Although you may have to fill the tires up yourself regularly (air-pump included) you won't have to worry a bumpy ride over small rocks and unsmooth roads.

Durability:   The materials of the stroller whether it's the frame or fabric is a big purchase consideration for parents when it comes to their baby.  Two biggest considerations are the material of the chassis and the seat.  So it's good to know that the chassis is made of lightweight anodized aluminum, and the seat is removable and machine washable.  Both materials are of the highest quality to make your Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller durable and easy to use.

What parents will love:  When it comes to choosing a jogging stroller it all comes down to whether it's looks and functions matches to your preferences and expectations.  The Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller look compared to the BOB Revolution Duallie Double Jogging Strollers is more modern and stylish with bright colors to choose from.  It also has an adjustable handle height from 32”- 45” that the BOB Jogging Strollers do not have.  One of the main reasons why BOB does not have this option is that they are hardcore running strollers made to go on rugged terrain mainly, so they don't have an adjustable handle for safety reasons.  Whereas the Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller is more of a well-rounded stroller that is great in the city indoors and out (with 360 degrees front swivel wheel) and when you do want to take it to a trail it is also well equipped to do so (with locked front wheel for safety). 

As for usage wise, the Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller has necessity accessories included like the rain cover, car seat adapter, cup holder, air pump, jogging strap and the adjustable canopy, which has a viewing window and a zip off option when you want to save some room. 

The Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller is suitable for newborns upto a maximum weight of 45 lbs (each seat), so it's good to know that the stroller is compatible with 6 different car seats.  When your baby is fast asleep in the car, the last thing you want to do is to wake them up to place them in a stroller.  Just simply place the car seat into the stroller as seen below and with the extra canopy on the stroller, your baby will be well covered from harmful UV rays.

What your baby will love:  Your baby will enjoy the four position reclining seat and you will be glad the seat material is removable for machine washing.  It's seat width is 24.5" for each kid to have lots of room to grow up with and the adjustable canopy gives complete sun coverage protecting your baby from harmful UV rays.  

And what's better than to share a ride with their sibling? Kids love company and to have their brother or sister in the stroller with them enjoying the great outdoors or cozy indoors is a wonderful experience for the whole family. Whether your kids are the same age or a few years apart, you have the choice of using both seats for toddlers, with car seats for babies or one of each!

 

What we don't love so much:  The Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller is well equipped for parents to take their kids to pretty much anywhere they would like to go.  One complaint that we have is the double front wheels do take Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller up a bit more space when it comes to turning - especially when you're indoors!  While it doesn't make much of a difference when you're outdoors going for a run, the importance of a front swivel wheel is that it makes the maneuverability easy indoors.

One more thing is that this double stroller is a bit on the heavier side being 34 lbs, with a weight capacity of 90 lbs.  Whereas the Baby Jogger City Mini Double Stroller is only 26 lbs and has a weight capacity of 100 lbs.

If you'd prefer a 3-wheel twin jogging stroller, see BOB Revolution Duallie Double Jogging Strollers.  It also has better suspension for a smooth ride whatever terrain your stroller will go over. And although Bugaboo Strollers are not jogging strollers you can also compare their famous "frog like" suspension wheels.
