Bumbleride - Indie Twin (IT-108, IT-111, IT-305)

We got the bumbleride indie twin. We wanted a side by side that would hold two infant car seats. Clicking in the car seats was a pain in the ass, not super smooth but worked. With car seats it was a tight squeeze through doors. To be honest we didn’t go very many places when they were that small, as soon as they were a bit bigger I wouldn’t bother with the car seats because it was annoying, I’d just put them right in. Now I use the stroller almost daily for walks/runs. We live rural, there are no sidewalks and it pushes great. I really like it now. Fits standard doors without the car seats attached no problem.

Bumbleride twin, I was lucky to find it secondhand via another family with twins who were done using it.

The Bumbleride indie twin has the highest weight and height limits I found for a double stroller.

We’ve had a bugaboo fox for 3 years (almost 4) and have been super happy. We used it with the Nuna Pipa car seat. It’s held up great, have never replaced anything and we walk daily. We live in southwestern Ontario and have used it through heavy snow. It’s not perfect in heavy snow but no stroller is. I did also get an Uppababy minu to keep in the car. Would have gone butterfly but couldn’t justify the extra $200. When we had our second we kept using the bugaboo for solo walks and added a piggyback board for shorter walks. I wanted a bugaboo donkey when our second came along but couldn’t justifying paying for a new one or even a used one at the price they go for in my area. We landed on a bumbleride indie twin for our double and have loved it! Still no regrets with our bugaboo and it’s held up really well for us.

I have the bumbleride indie twin, a side by side. It has a bassinet mode for newborns and each seat has a 45 lbs capacity. I got mine secondhand for 1/2 price. It can be car seat compatible but you need to buy the adapters. It pushes super easy and can be used as a jogging stroller too. It fits through a standard door without the car seat adapters. My only complaint so far is weight when you are loading or unloading it. I had a c-section so I couldn’t lift it by myself into the car for a few weeks.

Absolutely love the Bumbleride one! My kids are 3 years apart, and I loved that I could use it for the newborn right away. It’s really nice to push - it’s lightweight and has bouncy wheels. We never take it in our car so I’m not sure how easy it is to do that, but it does fit through our front door easily! I have no regrets buying that one.

Yes the stroller can be configured so one seat (or both) is laying flat like a bassinet, so it’s safe for newborns. Personally, if I was running an errand with both kids when my baby was younger I would either baby wear him or bring him in the car seat stroller (we keep the car seat frame stroller in the trunk of the car for errands). I never put the car seat in the shopping cart but I’ve seen people do that. Now he’s 1 so I put him in the shopping cart seat while my older kid walks, or sometimes I still baby wear him!

I am expecting twins in Sept, and this is our current setup. Bumbleride Indie twin (love this stroller)... we live in a particularly walkable/hilly area, so having a jogger stroller was key. This also allows for bassinet mode, all the way up until they are toddlers. But because it is wide, we are going to be getting an uppababy vista for clicking into their car seats as more of an errand stroller that lives in the back of the car. We were sold on this for travel especially, so we have a travel/compact stroller and a more practical life/all-terrain stroller for them to use up until they are toddlers

Whenever this question comes up, I always chime with my choice of Bumbleride Indie Twin. Side by side 100% Twins were our second and third and the Indie Twin was our 4th stroller purchase and by far our favourite. I didn't like the Donkey. I'm not sure why, it felt super flimsy to me. I could easily imagine my husband breaking it (he broke one previously). And I don't like the stacking. It was golden to be able to see both babies in their car seats on the stroller and I found it was easier to push and move around as opposed to the "train".

Strollers are funny. I thought that I would buy one stroller and be done. NOPE. I bought my favourite for bopping in and out of the car with the infant bucket seat (discontinued model). Once he was older, we bought a jogging stroller (Rebel II) second hand for trails in our neighborhood and cutting through snow. And then we bought a lightweight travel stroller (Uppababy Minu). We were happy with this and then BOOM! Twins for our second and third. Needed to get a double stroller. We bought the Bumble Ride Indie Twin. It has been our most favourite stroller. If I could go back, I would've bought the single version for first kid and saved myself two strollers as it has inflatable tires that are awesome for snow and trails. Basically, don't put all your eggs in one basket. You may hate a stroller you thought you'd love. So yea, keep an eye on second hand. You can scrub strollers down pretty good.

Indie Bumbleride Twin. It's the GOAT. I have yet to encounter a doorway it doesn't fit through. It has bike tires so it handles any terrain beautifully and pushes like a dream. It can be used for newborns in bassinet mode with any additional attachments. There are peekaboo windows so you can always see your kids. A good amount of storage. The canopies can fully extend to cover your kiddos for naptime. The seats lay completely flat for nap time. It's not super heavy and easy to maneuver. It's worth every single penny.

Indie Bumbleride Twin. It's the GOAT. Two car seats can click in. It has bassinet mode built in or you can get bassinet attachments. It fits through doorways. It's lightweight. It's a dream to push and can handle any terrain. 10/10 overall.

Before mine started wanting to walk the Indie Bumbleride Twin was my ride or die. Tbh it still is. I babywear a lot (like daily) and still take the stroller for outdoor outings. For indoor things like museums my husband and I each wear a baby. If I'm going somewhere solo I'll pop one baby in an umbrella stroller and wear the other (quick in and outs or errands) or take the double stroller (farmers markets, zoo, etc)

You'll pry my Bumbleride out of my cold dead hands. My Graco was fine until my twins wanted out of their car seats around 6 months. Then I quickly upgraded. Having all terrain tires and being able to push with one hand is so nice too. The Graco is just kinda unwieldy.

What’s your price range? The Uppababy Minu Duo is probably my favorite Uppababy product and their best executed stroller imo. I have a Valco Snap Duo Trend that I looooove - same situation as you, I was sick of my modular stroller and wanted a side by side that was lightweight, one piece/one step fold and long lasting for tall/heavy kids since one of my twins is disabled. 5 years ago the Snap Duo Trend was the best cross between full size/full features for heavy daily use while still being relatively light for a double. It was our workhorse for years until we finally dropped to one regular stroller rider about a year and a half ago. The Joie side by side double is solid for the price. Some people love Zoe strollers but they’re not my personal favorite - I just prefer something heavier duty. And if you need *really* heavy duty, Baby Jogger has lots of great products and the Bumbleride Indie Twin is a workhorse too. If you’re willing to wait for Black Friday and/or shop around the used stroller markets (Facebook, Mercari, GoodBuyGear etc) you could get a good deal on something relatively fancy!
