  What don't you like about the Bumbleride? That's the stroller I'm planning on getting after watching the utube video & test driving it at Buy Buy Baby. I am under the assuption the Bob & the Bumbleride are quite similar (size, weight etc...). As for a second double, I'm thinking of getting a MacClaren in a few months for trips to the mall, etc...

  Oh, please do tell what you don't like about the Bumbleride.  I've got a single Bob, but just order the Bumbleride Twin for when #2 arrives.  I was debating between the Bob Duallie or the Bumbleride....and went with the bumbleride after watching reviews online.  Somehow it just seemed more compact to me.  And since I'm not running that far or that often, I figured I could use it for everything.

  The biggest thing I don't like about it is going to sound really silly, but adjusting the leg rests is really difficult because you basically have to pinch your fingers to get it down. The fold is not as flat as the bob and seems harder (but that may be because I have a single Bob and am used to it). I hate the cup older. Obviously this is minor too, but it really is silly that it connects to the side. And I am just really worried about jogging with it since it is not technically a jogging stroller. I just wanted to love every single thing about it and now I am second guessing the decision

  Your complaints about the Bumbleride seem to be the same I've heard from others. I've read that pretty much all the double joggiing type strollers are a PITA for folding up etc.. and heavy. I'm thinking that our double will spend most of it's time on our front porch since we do most of our walking around our neighborhood. I don't know about the BOB, but we were looking at the Baby Jogger City Elite & the Bumbleride double. What sold me on the bumbleride was all the positive feedback I had read online, coupled with the fact that so many things that were extras on the baby jogger came standard w/the bumbleride. From what I've been told on here, everyone who has had the bumbleride double has loved it!

  I can't help b/c I still haven't looked at any in person.  I'm going on Friday to start looking.  I'm not a jogger but I'm interested in the ones you mentioned.  We also have a Chicco car seat.  Is the Bumbleride heavy? On baby bunching site, it says there is no latch to keep the stoller closed - is that right?

  It is pretty heavy, but I think most of them are. It probably wouldn't be as bad if I wasn't 33 weeks pregnant! It does have latches on either side to keep it closed. I think that is a new feature, so if you got an older model it may not. If we keep this one I honestly don't know that I would use the latches because they are sort of a pain to snap on and it never really bothered me not having my single Bob not latched while putting it in and out of the car.
