Baby Jogger City Mini Double - question on storage

BradsMissA

I've been reading everyone's posts for months and debating between the BJCMD and the Bumbleride Indie Twin.  My big concern with the BJCM is how hard it is to access the storage basket underneath.  I seem to use mine quite a bit - so this is my major hang up.  For those that own it, what are your thoughts on using the basket underneath? 

I've been leaning towards the Bumbleride bc of the ease of access to the underneath basket, but can't stomach the price.  Now with the Albeebaby sale on BJCM I just need to make the final decision! 

Thanks!

I can't answer your question but just an FYI the additional 15% off does not apply to the BJCMD- incase you were counting on that too.

Love the stroller but storage under the stroller stinks. It does have 2 big net bags attached to the seat which I love and hold a lot of stuff.

The under storage is kinda lacking, but its 100% workable.  IMO, totally not something to get hung up on.  I looove my BJCM - no regrets.

Question- I'm also leaning toward BJCMD but I always put my (fairly large) diaper bag in our underneath storage. Is it that the storage is small (so a lg diaper bag wouldn't fit) or just that it is hard to access?

We have a large diaper bag and it's awkward to get in and out of the underneath storage but I LOVE the stroller. Totally worth it to me.  Plus the back of the seats storage is where I put things I need a lot.  This is a great stroller!

Thanks so much ladies!  After hearing from you - I think I'll go with the BJCM.

You can't beat the canopies on this stroller. It's almost like they are in a tent when they are all the way down. Really great feature.

If you have a diaper bag that can hang on the handle, I would probably go with the BJCMD, especially if price is an issue. I had the exact same concerns and was torn between the same two strollers. I went with the Indie Twin and am very happy, but at the same time I sometimes wish I had gotten the BJCMD. It seems it all came down to the basket, but I'm starting to think that I could still get the same amount in the basket while accessing it from the sides. The weight difference and folded size are the biggest pros for the BJCMD and I still wonder if I made the best decision by going with the Indie Twin.

ETA: I have heard terrible things about the car seat adapter for the BJCMD, so in that respect the Indie Twin has a big benefit for those early months. The Indie car seat adapter is simple on/off and can be left in place while folded, etc. So don't get me wrong, I love my Indie Twin...but the bulk sometimes makes me wish I made a different decision. I did compare them side by side in a store and the Indie handles slightly better, IMO....mostly due to the rubber tires (which are what make it heavier).
