I have been very impressed with the Bumbleride Indie Twin (2009). I got this stroller just before my second was born and the two boys are two years apart. My older son is very tall for his age but this stroller works great for him. I love the handling of the stroller, the fact that I didn't have to buy a rain cover and car seat adapter, the spacious basket, and pockets on the back of the canopies (something small but makes a big difference for me!). I chose this over the Baby Jogger (city mini double OR the city classic double) because of the included accessories as well as the length- the bumbleride is only 36 inches long whereas the city classic double is 43 inches long. The indie twin does fit everywhere (LOVE that). I am 5'10" and my husband is 6'4" and this stroller is very comfortable for us both- not like the phil and Ted's with doubles kit. My husband was extremely impressed with how well the stroller was made and I have been very impressed with their email customer service- I emailed for specific dimensions and questions about the stroller and received prompt and complete response. The big drawback is the fold- obviously not as easy as Baby Jogger and it does not fold super compact but for a city parent like me who walks most everywhere, I haven't done a lot of folding it and sticking it in the car. Other drawback is that you can't fold it up with adapter attached. So far, this stroller has definitely delivered- I am looking forward to winter strolling! I also tried the Valco Baby double, Mountain Buggy Urban Double, Phil and Ted's with doubles kit, and as mentioned- every Baby Jogger stroller including the City Select. The Bumbleride was the most economical of the "hooked up" strollers for what was offered (again, I bought mine on sale as the 2009 version- paid $550).

After retiring from the double snap-n-go for my twins, I've decided to get the 2008 Bumbleride Indie Twin after tons of research. This is the closest you can get in comparison to the Bugaboo stroller, only difference is that this comes in double stroller and Bugaboo does not. It is easy to maneuver, can almost fully recline, it's got a huge storage compartment on the bottom of the stroller and pocket compartments on the back of each seat. Canopy works great, you can unzip the canopy and shift it forward, so that it can block the sun from the babies' eyes.
At first, I was having a hard time trying to unfold and fold the stroller, once you get a hang of it, will become easier. I have an suv, the most challenging part is to lift this 34 lbs. heavy stroller on and off my car. If you are seriously considering this stroller, you have to be able be "strong" enough to do the lifting. Just imagine, if you have to run errands to multiple places, be prepared to do some heavy lifting. One day I was folding my stroller to lift it up to my car, I guess I looked like I was having a hard time lifting it...and a guy in his early 40s parked next to me and was nice enough to ask if I needed help to lift it up to my car. Sure enough, after helping me out, he said he couldn't imagine that I have to do this all this time... But this is the type of stroller that gives you all the bells and whistles, you can't really compare the weight to umbrella strollers if you want all the features its got. Other than that I think this is a great stroller to have. I have gotten tons of compliments about it almost every time we're out.
Since this stroller doesn't come with cup holders, I would highly recommend getting the "Sunshine Kids Accessory Buddy" from Amazon for only $9.99. It works so much better than any of those single cup holders out there. I bought a single cup holder and it broke soon after, it was such a waste of money. But with this, it's affordable and multi-functional. It can hold 2 drinks and whatever you want to put in the middle. I plan on getting another one.

EDIT:
After using this stroller for more than 2 months I have something to add. It is side by side double stroller no matter how you look at it so it is wide. It is not as long as many other double stroller so it looks "compact". We walk a lot so having an all terrain double stroller is nice. You might consider getting: Phil and Ted's Version 2 Sport Buggy With Doubles Kit: Navy. I saw it at the store today and it seems much lighter, narrow, compact and practical. You can remove the back seat and use it as single stroller any time.
I think I should have bought the 2008 model instead of 2009. It was much cheaper and it has soft bumper bar. I don't know why they decided to make the new model without it! My baby would love to sit up and hold it!
It seems like the seats lie too much back. My baby likes to sit up and the new reclining seats on the 2009 model do not allow baby to sit more up.
The canopy doesn't cover much and often my baby still complaining about the sun in her eyes. The 2008 model had better canopies.
I would recommend buying the older model. The price range $399 - $ 589. The new model is $ 659
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
- SO easy to push around, turn; very smooth ride because of the air filled tires but they are not so huge like many other all-terrain (jogging) strollers have.
- Ok, it is wide but not as wide as BOB, for example. It's actually pretty narrow for a double stroller but it still have very roomy seats! We went to Safeway and Walgreens and haven't had any problems. It fit through every door.
- The seats seem so comfortable, very soft and padded. Everything is removable and washable.
- It has 2 front wheels which, I believe, makes it more stable. All the other all terrain double strollers have only 1 front wheel.
- Car seat adapter (and rain cover) included! Usually you have to spend extra money to buy accessories.
- My babies love it! I had BOB single stroller before. I don't like jogging but I bought it because I couldn't find any other good all terrain stroller. My baby never really liked it because she always had to lie back so much. Bumbleride is so open and she can sit up and she loves looking around!
- You can use it with the car seat! Universal car seat adapter included. My other baby who is only 2 weeks old sleeps in her Graco Snugride car seat when we walk around and the Bumbleride smooth ride makes her comfortable and happy :)
- HUGE basket makes life a lot easier especially when I walk to the grocery store and back home with lots of groceries! (or when I put my big diaper bag and other things in it).
- It looks COOL, expensive, durable, UNIQUE! So many people have asked me what kind of stroller it is. I love buying unique products ;)
It's not a jogging stroller but it is great for occasional jogging.

I wasted money on 2 cheap strollers made of plastic before buying this one. I have 3 children 4 years and younger. Both of my cheap strollers broke in the same week and I was desperate for a new stroller. I would like to have more children so I wanted something that will last. Therefore forked out the cash. I love this stroller because it comes with a car seat adapter, foot muffs, accessory bar and cup holder. My husband absolutely loves this stroller! I also bought a boogie board for my oldest to ride on. Love it, love it, love it!!! It is also very fashionable and i get lots of lookers as to what kind of stroller it is.

I researched MANY all terrain strollers and finally decided to go with the Indie Twin. A few features that made this one stand out for me...
--the individual seats with their own bumper bar--most come with a bumper bar that stretches across both seats, this way, I have the option of not using it for my older child, while I need it for my younger. Hardly any all terrain strollers come with a bumper bar, they are always sold separately.
--It came with a car seat adapter, with all of the other all terrain strollers I looked at this had to be purchased separately or was not compatible.
--The extremely large canopies! They stretch well beyond the distance of most strollers. You can also unzip the canopy and use it backwards.
--The foot muffs. Living in the upper-Midwest, this will be handy this fall and spring. It is the only all terrain stroller that comes with the foot muffs and not sold separately.
--It also has oversized pouches on the back of both seats and the under carriage is very large.
--It is only 29 1/2 inches wide making it one of the narrowest doubles on the market.
--It is absolutely amazingly EASY to push, I have been able to walk on the side and feed a bottle to my infant in her car seat and guide the stroller with one hand, with little to no effort.
--the stroller weighs a mere 33 pounds!
--A couple negatives--I need to take off the back 2 wheels to fit into my Accord (which pop on and off really easy), but all of the all terrain strollers would have been the same. I also wish the foot rests came down a little further, they are fine, but would be nicer for older kids (my 3 year old has never complained about it.). Some of hte other strollers (Baby Jogger in particular) are easier to fold, it is kind of a hassle to have to fold the seats flat each time you fold it up.
--Customer service was great at Bumbleride as well.
