Riding in Style (Giveaway)

When I started researching double strollers I had a whole list of things I wanted my stroller to be able to do and accessories it needed to include. I quickly realized I was dreaming and needed to become more realistic and find a stroller that fit my budget and my needs. This was 2 years ago and I had no idea the Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller existed. Bumbleride sent me their Indie Twin stroller to try out in the hopes that I would share my honest opinion so here it is…I LOVE IT. Is it perfect no, but a great stroller yes. Here is what I love:
- It is an all terrain stroller which means it can take almost any bump or inconsistency in the pavement with no problem. No more lifting or tugging as I walk just a smooth ride.
- You can lock the front wheels for jogging or let them swivel for easy steering
- The handle bar is height adjustable. my husband and I are tall and it is so nice to walk upright when pushing a stroller
- The basket underneath is huge and easily accessible.
- The seats are comfy, adjust separately and have separate sun shades
- 5 point harness as well as it comes with an infant car seat adapter bar
- Adjustable cup holder for mom
Things I would change:
- I would have a better option for drinks and snacks for the kids. You can order a snack bar accessory which I received and do like, but it can be a bit awkward to take in and out.
- I would like it to be easier to fold up. It does get quite compact and easily fits in the back of my minivan but it has to be aligned perfectly and can can be a bit difficult until you are used to it.
So obviously by my list of likes and dislikes their are many more things I appreciate about this stroller than dislike. None of the things I would change would prevent my from buying this stroller. I am so excited to announce that one lucky Thrifty & Chic Mom will receive a Bumbleride Indie Twin stroller in their choice of color.

I LOVE that is compatible with infant carriers…and I love that it can hold up to 90 lbs…it’s a stroller you can have around for awhile!
My color choice would be the Lava!

I like the the handles are multi-adjustable and can extend from 32”-45”. I’ve never seen that in a stroller before and that would be perfect for me because I’m tall! Thanks for the chance!

I love all the accessories!! The rain cover, the pump, etc! And I think I’d pick the seagrass color. (I REALLY like the Vita color, but I don’t see DH pushing that around…)

I’m a fan of both you and Bumbleride on Facebook!
I love the adjustable handle and the fact that it is all-terrain. The seagrass color is my favorite.
I think my favorite feature is the that the handles can extend from 32”-45”. My husband is taller than I am and I know he would appreciate being able to make them longer.
I really like the spice color!
I am a fan on FB and just signed up for your emails as well.
I like the handles and how they are able to extend. I pick the color Orange. Thanks for the chance. I follow on Facebook.
I am also subscribed by emails.
Amongst other things, I like how the Twin Indie has an adjustable handle. My husband and I are both different heights and I can see how this would help make it more comfortable for both of us to use the stroller. I like the Seagrass color, although I can see my hubby wanting the lava.

I love that it’s compatable with the carseat that I already use! No need to get a different one.
I like the ruby color.

I like that there is a removable canopy with a back zipper for air flow. I would pick spice.

I love this stroller!! My favorite feature is that the wheels can be locked! It is hard enough trying to get babies in and out of a stroller, you shouldn’t have to worry about the stroller rolling away!!
My favorite color would be the ruby!
I subscribe to thrifty and chic mom!
I love that this stroller is compatible with all car seats, oh, and the seagrass color!
I love that you can use a car seat with it. I will be having a new born and a 2 year old. This will make it so make easier. It’s hard to choose from the color spice or seagrass. I like either one. I guess spice would be a little better to notice during walks.

What a FABULOUS giveaway! I would choose the seagrass color because a) it’s different and b) it’s gender neutral. My favorite feature is sort of lame – that it has TWO front wheels that SWIVEL – but if you pushed my current stroller, you would so understand!!! Thanks again!
I like the adjustable handle. My husband and I are both tall and will enjoy having a taller handle. I like it in Seagrass.

I love the adjustable handle! I’m short and many strollers are too tall for me.

I am a fan of both on facebook.
I like the adjustable handles, because my husband is much taller than I am. And I like that both backrests can lie flat, so either child can sleep. The color I love is vita!
Emailed my mom and sisters.
I love the colors! It looks like it would manuever soooo much better than the one I have right now. I’ve been dying to get a new one!
