    Default Please help with double stroller

    I have no idea what I want. Looking for a double stroller for a 2.5 yr old and an almost 6 month old. I want a nice push, big sun canopy, big easy storage for diaper bag. Needs to be able to handle grass and dirt roads. Every once in a while I think I might want to jog with a stroller - this would be slow and on paved surfaces for about 20 -30 minutes.

    From my limited research I am thinking Bumbleride Indie Twin (I love my single), but can you jog with it? I was also considering the Bob, but is that overkill for my running and off road needs? Would both of those two be totally out of place and obnoxious to deal with in a mall?

    Any others or opinions on those two? Thank!!

    My DH runs with our indie twin all the time. I'm sure the BOB would be better for running, but overall the indie twin fit our needs better. It is mildly obnoxious at the mall...

    I just found a brand new 2012 at BBB for $240. No brainer?

    You found a BOB or an Indie at BBB? Sounds like a good deal. Is it a floor model? Check it out for broken parts first.

    Indie. It seems fine, but is a floor model. However it was kept up high so probably not taken on many "joyrides". I would miss the bumper bar though for hanging toys.

    You can add a bumper bar. A double for $240 is a steal! I would RUN!

    And you can get the bumper bars and it folds with them in place.

    I got it! Thanks for letting me know about the bumper bar! I think I saved about $500! I won't even complain that it's black and not green papyrus lol.
