Not sure I love my Bumbleride :-(

E_Squared

So I got our Indie Twin yesterday and I really want to love it. Really, really want to. But it's just not happening... I find it really cumbersome to fold up compactly so that I can actually latch it shut. And when I unfold it, one side of the handle doesn't really snap into place without a little extra finaggling. But it DOES handle like a dream, nice and smooth.

Am I just being overly critical, or having a hard time with the adjustment from a single stroller to a double? I'm starting to have doubts and am wondering whether I should have gotten a Bob Duallie...

After messing around with my graco duo (we nicknamed big bertha) - I would think you're having more of a hard time with it being a double. I mean, it's twice the stroller. As to the handle - mine doesn't do that...so maybe call bumbleride? I've heard they have great customer service.

I looked at both in person - and I liked this sooo much better than the BOB. Although - it's hard when something you hold so high (and is so much $) turns out to be less than perfect : )

Could you return it, if you're really not happy with it? Is there anywhere you could go to check out some others?

I don't have those problems with my BJ City Mini, but there are other things that make it not "perfect." For example, though the fold is amazing, sometimes I have to mess with the wheels to make sure it folds all the way back. I still love it though - I really don't think there is any totally 100% flaw free stroller out there

 I agree that no stroller is perfect. I dont even have the second seat on my BJ select yet, I love it so far but its HEAVY. I also think its awkward to open, but im fine with it.

Rach03k-my single city mini does the same, I have to wiggle it when I pull on the handle to get the wheels to set right and fold flat. not a big deal to me either.

I wish I didn't read this!  I've been really leaning towards that stroller.  I hate the fold though but I think I can live with it.

When I tried out the doubles in the store I really wasn't happy with most of them and it just came down to the fact that they were all bigger due to the second seat.  Plus, I loved my single BOB so much that it's hard to get rid of it and get something that I don't love as much.  I use mine all the time so I feel like it's a big deal...

Is there any where you can go see the Bob Duallie in person?  When I compared between the two, I hated the seats on the Bob and thought my toddler would run out of leg room much sooner on it.  Both were heavy, but I think all double strollers are.

Really?  Bummer!

I never, ever use that latch to hold my Indie Twin together.  I just fold it up and throw it in my SUV/closet/wherever.  I haven't really found that it needs the latch to stay closed.

Ditto the others, I think it's just tough to go from a single to a double.  I still use my single Indie pretty often with DS in it, and I always have this "whoa!  This thing is tiny!" moment at first.

The fold is the main thing that's bugging me -- so if you can live with that, then I think you're going to be good to go. It does handle Ah-mazing-ly well, nice and smooth. I'm hoping it's just because a) I'm so big and pregnant, and 2) it's just "different" from my Joovy Kooper and takes some getting used to. We'll see though, it might end up getting returned this weekend, which is too bad since I got such a killer deal on it

So far it's the only double I really like so I think I'll HAVE to live with the fold.  However I have a Corolla and I don't know if it'll fit in the trunk.  I might have to trade cars with DH and I would rather not do that   I hope you find a stroller you love soon!

I think it would fit in a Corolla just fine -- you probably wouldn't have much room left, but you should be able to get it in there. It does fold up smaller than The Bob, so you're good there. From everything you've listed/"said", I think you're really going to like the Bumbleride!
