Stroller is one of the most serious purchases for a baby. Today, no mother can do without this important acquisition. Not only the parent's mobility often depends on the weight and maneuverability of the stroller, but also the quantity and quality of outdoor walks in the first year of a child's life. And if the choice of a stroller for one baby is not an easy mission, then the future mother of twins has a grandiose task, because the requirements for a vehicle are increasing at times. The stroller should fit in an elevator, be easily controlled with one hand if one of the children had to be picked up, fit in the trunk of a car, be with all this not the heaviest thing on earth and still cost less than a car.

Bumbleride Indie 2 in 1 is the choice of many moms

In children's stores, especially in small towns, strollers for twins are often not even purchased: they are too expensive, and they wait for their buyer for a long time. They will only be offered on order. In addition, expectant mothers who are expecting twins, due to their he alth, cannot run around all the surrounding stores and evaluate the assortment with their own eyes. Therefore, asas a rule, they choose a stroller for their children based on customer reviews.

The universal stroller Bumbleride Indie Twin from the American manufacturer, which is suitable for both twins and little ones, deservedly collected a lot of enthusiastic responses. What makes it so versatile and convenient? Why does she deserve such rave reviews? Let's take a closer look.

A few words about the brand

Despite the fact that Bumbleride is one of the relatively young manufacturers of children's vehicles, he has already firmly entered the list of leaders in the market of goods for children. The idea to create a light but comfortable stroller came to the mind of the spouses Matthew and Emily Reichardt in 2003, after the birth of their first child in their family. And today Bumbleride products confidently compete with well-established brands. The creators of the company see their goal in making parents more free, and providing kids with coziness and comfort. Any little thing, in their opinion, deserves close attention. Therefore, the main advertising of the brand is reviews of grateful customers. It should be noted that the products of this brand have already conquered the mothers of many countries. Let's take a closer look at the main characteristics of Bumbleride Indie.

Easy to carry, easy to wear

Perhaps the main advantage of the Bumbleride Indie Twin is its weight, which is only 15.5 kilograms, which, given that each child has a full-fledged spacious place, is very small. Together with the cradles, the stroller will weigh only 19.5 kg. This weight is achieved in the first placethanks to the stylish anodized aluminum frame. This criterion, perhaps, is the main one for most mothers who have made their choice in favor of this model, because it directly affects the independence and mobility of the twin parent in the city and in nature.

Single parent can use a twin stroller to climb stairs on their own, walk along mountain paths or ride public transport - all made possible thanks to the friendly efforts of the Bumbleride team.

Chassis and wheels

The chassis is only 75 cm wide, so the vehicle fits through all standard doorways, which is already an achievement for this type of stroller. Large inflatable wheels (diameter - 30 cm) on a bearing mount deserve special praise, providing maximum comfort even for babies sleeping in cradles. The front wheels can rotate 360 degrees and have the ability to lock if necessary, which makes the stroller very maneuverable in urban environments and allows you to control it, as many mothers say, with just one finger.

The handle is adjustable to the height of the parent and will suit people of any height. The Bumbleride Indie stroller folds easily and due to its compactness fits in the trunk of most car models. The chassis is equipped with a locking mechanism that protects the structure from spontaneous folding.

Basins for newborns

IncludedThe Bumbleride Indie Twin 2 in 1 stroller includes two carrycots for newborns. This option is designed specifically for twins, it can be used from birth to three years. Warm carrycots with an adjustable hood and hypoallergenic inner material are very spacious, which also distinguishes this model from other universal strollers for two children.

If parents purchase transport for the weather or babies who have already learned to sit, then it is enough for them to choose the Bumbleride Indie Twin package, that is, they can save on cradles in this way. The latter, if necessary, are offered to be purchased separately. However, it is worth noting that some mothers whose babies were born in the warm season use a stroller without cradles from birth, because its back also provides for a completely horizontal position.

Kids will be comfortable

Each seat (hood length, footrest height, seatback position) is individually adjustable to ensure maximum comfort for each baby, as well as to use the model for the weather. This function can also be assessed when one child has fallen asleep, and the second wants to sit and look around. The backs have four positions, including, as already noted, completely horizontal. The seats are equipped with five-point seat belts.

In the summer, part of the hood can be easily unfastened, and in the fully open position it reaches the bumper, which can be appreciated in the conditions of the Russianwinters. The hood is equipped with an additional layer with UV protection (up to +45 degrees).

Mom will definitely appreciate the roomy trunk and viewing windows that allow you to watch the kids while walking. The seats are located frontally, that is, they have the same wide view (unlike strollers, where children sit in a "train"), which will eliminate the struggle for a more advantageous seat from the point of view of the child.

Package and various bonuses

The Bumbleride Indie comes with a multipurpose adapter/bumper for installing a child car seat. It is worth noting that in this stroller you can use car seats of various brands, such as Chicco Keyfit, Peg Perego Primo Viaggio. The kit also includes coasters, a rain cover, hangers and a headrest, a removable orthopedic mattress in the cradle (if the cradle itself is included). Different stores may offer different options.

The stroller is made of high quality materials that repel dirt and moisture, easy to clean and do not fade in the sun. All mechanisms operate very quietly and easily. In addition, the manufacturer often arranges promotions and gives customers various useful gifts: for example, a bag for bottles or beautiful branded terry towels and mittens. It does not hurt to ask the sellers for more details.

Revisiting the benefits of Bumbleride Indie. Customer Reviews

Many accolades and customer testimonials prove that all of the above features and benefits of the Bumbleride Indie 2 in 1 stroller, as stated by the manufacturer, are fully true. Reviews range from commendable to enthusiastic.

• First of all, parents note the high cross-country ability of the stroller, its ease of operation on any road. On a flat surface, the stroller can be pushed with one finger. Maneuvering between the shelves in shops, check-in on the curb and in the elevator, turning around are easily carried out with one hand.
• Moms also praise the spacious seats for young passengers. Both in cradles and inthe seats are not cramped for the kids even in warm winter clothes. When unfolded, the seats can be transformed into full-fledged sleeping places, in which there is enough legroom for even tall babies.
• Another benefit is the weight. The Bumbleride Indie 2 in 1 stroller allows mom to not only go for a walk and go shopping on her own, but also drag her up the stairs with her children. Using public transport is also easy.

• Moms note the high-quality material of the covers, to which dirt does not stick, it is easily wiped with a cloth.

Cons: a couple of small ones and one big one

• Perhaps the most obvious and main disadvantage of the stroller is its price, which is unbearable for many Russian families. With all the undeniable advantages and conveniences of the Bumbleride Indie, not everyone is willing to pay such a lot of money for a stroller, especially since spending on twins is far from limited to this.
• Also, some mothers who used this stroller note that it is necessary to periodically pump up the wheels (the pump is included in the package).
• Bumpers, according to some buyers, are very tight, and therefore often simply not used.
• There are mothers who note the difficulty in raising the backrest with the child from a lying position to a sitting position. In order to carry out this operation, they have to help themselves with their head or foot, or ask for help from others, which is quiteuncomfortable.

Moms who use the Bumbleride Indie Twin 2 in 1 stroller unanimously recommend this model to all parents of twins or twins they know.
