It looks really nice. I'm trying to decide between that & the Baby Jogger Elite. I wish I could find more reviews, though. I read 2 positive reviews online but I'm still not sure how it compares the the Baby Jogger.

It looks nice and sturdy and pretty colors too. I'm deciding between that and the easywalker duo (easywalker-usa.com). what I like abt that one is that it takes two carseats and it takes maxi cosi, which most brands don't have adaptors for.I love the colors of maxi cosi's car seats and was searching high and low for a carrigae that would take them, so that I owuld be able to use it as a snap-n-go, so I contacted the company and they said that by the summer, their adaptors would accommodate the mico models. (she did say that tey dont reccommend using two car seats, but they are working on some kind of solution.) they also come with option of carrycot. let us know how the indie works if u end up getting it!

ps - anon bec dont want ppl to know that I'm expecting twins

First of all just letting you know the reason I'm posting anonymously is because I haven't yet told anyone that I'm expecting my second...

Ok, I have the bumbleride flyer and I love the way it pushes--nice and smooth--and I take my 10 month old son on some loooong city walks. I saw a woman pushing the Bumbleride Indie Twin two weeks ago in Central Park and was pretty excited that it was already out--I wasn't able to stop her and ask her about it (I was at a distance and she was too fast...)but I would LOVE to find out more--finding a double stroller/jogger that's easy to push is important to me especially because after my second is born I'm going to need to get into serious shape and walking (with the double stroller) seems like the best way for me to do that!

no one know's I'm expecting either.
the mountain buggy went up to $899- ouch
I hate the way the baby jogger looks- too plastic-y
how much is the easy walker- is it very heavy, does it fold well?
I was really expecting to get a mbud b/c I have the mbus & love it
but I'm really inclined to get the bumbleride- strollerswappers seem to like it

albees has last year's model mountain buggy for about $500

www.albeebaby.com (I think?)

yeah, but I can't buy it until my baby is born. I'm not due until 10/31. who knows how many there will be left at that price point by then. my sil told me that I should look on ebay for NIB. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

more stroller companies are starting to make maxi cosi adaptors. but I have a snugride so just about everything takes that except combi & I think perego & I hate combi anyway- so I really don't care. is the easy walker the only sbs that takes two carseats? the indies are all backordered now & they just came out. I'm hoping a lot of people buy them & then I can see reviews. but hten they better make more or I'm gonna be upset.

as far as the easywalker - the woman wrote to me that it does take two maxi cosis, but it's not recommended - I guess safety issues. She had told me to do one car seat and one carrycot, but I'm going to do two carseats. it will be ready in the summer. she did mention that they are trying to work on it that it safely holds two carseats.

this doesn't sound safe. especially if they don't both lock on securely. but I'm not going to need 2 carseats, and I still think that the indie twin is amazingly cool. but no one sells it here, so I'll have to see.

I had to write this as amother since it is embarassing how obsessed I am with strollers. I might never need one again let alone a double, but I browse strollers all the time and I love this one. I can't wait to hear how people really enjoy it once they have been using it for a while. It also seems a little flashy, what is with all the weird color options? Still though something about it just sticks in my brain.

that's ok, I'm with you on this one. I am totally obsessed with strollers. you can pm me & we can start a strollers anon group Wink

. I think the colors are a little weird too- but I'm loving the brown koa. I think I'll get that. of course if something else new comes out before I'm due, I'll have to reassess my options. but I'm thinking I like this one.

look again on the photos with the boot. there seems to be some type of extension or addition to the back of the hood. of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I'm hoping to get one soon, so I'll tell you all about it. dd finally got her long cast off, but I want to be able to bring my kids out. I'm selling stuff on ebay & saving up money. so hopefully soon!
