Riding in Style (Giveaway)

indie-twn-s 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 the narrow width of the Indie Twin so it will easily fit through doors! My favorite color is Seagrass!

I love the spice color and the adjustable handle height rocks! I always hate strollers that just aren’t comfortable to push because the handles not at the right height for me.

I love that the backrests, canopies and footrests can all be adjusted independently from one another so each kid can be comfortable!

My favorite feature is that the stroller is light-weight and easy to fold. Some strollers are just so dang heavy! Talk about back problems.

The color I’d choose would be Vita…

I love the queen bee stroller in black! But then again, the twin in red is quite nice too …… How wonderful is it they have a storage pouch in the canopy!
