User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Worth the money – Excellent for Twins
When we had twins we never knew what a “gypsy carriage” our car (with twins a mini-van it’s the only option) would be; and this stroller is the ultimate addition to our carriage.
This is our second double stroller and we went for it after the double snap and go was getting to small for the girls, at 4 monts to go around for more than 20 minutes without hearing complaints from them.
The first thing you’ll think is that it’s outrageously expensive; and depending on your budget, it might be; however if you can afford it GO FOR IT.
The girls fit good and have space to spare, the multi level adjustable back let them sleep flat one at the time or both if they decide to and the parents can roam over any surface without having to “lift” and pull the stroller trough it, the only suface we have not tried it is on sand for obvious reasons and we are very satisfied with it.
The cargo space underneath the sroller is great and the ‘backpack’ behind the seats are great additions for the ‘mobile madness’ we go with.
Now you’ll think, why 4 and not 5 stars?
because there is not a 4 1/2 stars option. The cons are those associated with double strollers, even being light for it’s size it’s still a little heavy and bulky when folded to put in our ‘carriage’.
5 Stars There is no perfect anything
EDIT: After using this stroller for more than 2 months I have something to add. It is side by side double stroller no matter how you look at it so it is wide. It is not as long as many other double stroller so it looks “compact”. We walk a lot so having an all terrain double stroller is nice. You might consider getting: Phil and Ted’s Version 2 Sport Buggy With Doubles Kit: Navy too. I saw it at the store today and it seems much lighter, narrow, compact and practical. You can remove the back seat and use it as single stroller any time.
I think I should have bought the 2008 model instead of 2009. It was much cheaper and it has soft bumper bar. I don’t know why they decided to make the new model without it! My baby would love to sit up and hold it!
It seems like the seats lie too much back. My baby likes to sit up and the new reclining seats on the 2009 model do not allow baby to sit more up.
The canopy doesn’t cover much and often my baby still complaining about the sun in her eyes. The 2008 model had better canopies.
I would recommend buying the older model. The price range $399 – $ 589. The new model is $ 659
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
It arrived fast and I was very happy to see that the color is actually not so bright orange, but dark neutral orange color and the stroller looks so much better than on the pictures!
What I love most about it:
- SO easy to push around, turn; very smooth ride because of the air filled tires but they are not so huge like many other all-terrain (jogging) strollers have.
- Ok, it is wide but not as wide as BOB, for example. It’s actually pretty narrow for a double stroller but it still have very roomy seats! We went to Safeway and Walgreens and haven’t had any problems. It fit through every door.
- The seats seem so comfortable, very soft and padded. Everything is removable and washable.
- It has 2 front wheels which, I believe, makes it more stable. All the other all terrain double strollers have only 1 front wheel.
- Car seat adapter (and rain cover) included! Usually you have to spend extra money to buy accessories. Car seat adapter installs and removes in 2 seconds without any screwdrivers!
- My babies love it! I had BOB single stroller before. I don’t like jogging but I bought it because I couldn’t find any other good all terrain stroller. My baby never really liked it because she always had to lie back so much. Bumbleride is so open and she can sit up and she loves looking around!
- You can use it with the car seat! Universal car seat adapter included. My other baby who is only 2 weeks old sleeps in her Graco Snugride car seat when we walk around and the Bumbleride smooth ride makes her comfortable and happy 
- HUGE basket makes life a lot easier especially when I walk to the grocery store and back home with lots of groceries! (or when I put my big diaper bag and other things in it).
- It looks COOL, expensive, durable, UNIQUE! So many people have asked me what kind of stroller it is. I love buying unique products 
It’s not a jogging stroller but it is great for occasional jogging.
