Paging fryjack2

I swear I'm not a creeper! Ha, but the handy-dandy search feature told me that you have an Bumbleride Indie Twin. I'm seriously looking at this stroller for my two, but I was wondering two things...

-Do you run with yours? I thought somewhere said it wasn't technically a jogging stroller, but I thought you mentioned running with it? Or do you have a separate double jogging stroller?

-Have you ever traveled (by plane) with yours? Is the fold/weight so bulky that it's insane to travel with it or is it a possibility?

Thanks so much for you help!

Hey snipsnsnails ! I'm going to bullet point back to you, so sorry if the response is long and all over the place

-I have run with mine. Technically you aren't supposed to run with babies until they are 6 months. Since my boys hit 6 months in October, I didnt run with them in it until this past Spring. I just lock the front wheels. I havent gone that oftern because I like my runs to be me time. I see a lot of people running with BRs here in the city though. Mostly the single strollers, but I have seen one other twin runner. Maybe try it out on a short run? Or see if you can borrow someones?

-We havent taken it on a plane. We travel with an Orbit stroller because we have a travel bag for it. I do toss it in the back of our SUV when I go to the pedi or Trader Joes or whereever. Its not that bad to fold and super easy to unfold. ITs not crazy heavy either. I mean, all doubles are going to be a little heavy and bulky. I know a twin mom who takes her City Select tandem twin stroller on planes. I am not a fan of tandem strollers at all. I can ask her about traveling with that stroller if you want though?

-The bumbleride seats don't sit upright enough for my boys. Like all jogging strollers, they rest at an incline. The feet rests also dont f=go down all the way. so my boys seem to be trying to sit up straighter more now that they are older. That is almost my only dislike of the stroller. The storage is huge, the ride is SOO smooth, its soooo easy to maneuver, I didn't need anything special when they were first born, they could go right in it since it reclines flat. It feels super sturdy. The colors are great too

-I bought a Bugaboo Donkey last week. I bought it mostly because with two in the city, I need them to be in a stroller for at least 2 more years. I want them to be comfortable and not trying to sit straight up all the time. The Donkey's seats do that and I can have them face me or out. Its crazy how much different the BR feels compared to the BD. So much sturdier. The Donkey has a smooth ride, but with the Indie, I don't have to really lift the wheels over curbs, and the shocks are great for bumps. My Orbit feels like a piece of crap compared to the Indie.

-Its only been a week, but I have to remind myself to use the Donkey and not the Indie when we go out. The Indie is just so easy. And it fits in every doorway I've ever encounter. It fits on the subway and city buses easily. I havent tried the Donkey on them, but I hear it fits too, it just doesnt seem as if it would be as easy to lift up onto /into the entrances.

Feel free to ask me any other questions! I honestly tell people I love the stroller when I see them checking it out in stores

Did I miss that you are having twins? Or am I having a twin mom moment?

Here's a pic of my doubles if you want a size comparison. I don't know how to resize. Sorry!
