Stroller Review- Continued-Part 3

5)      Bugaboo Donkey

2011 marks the year that Bugaboo finally released their double stroller. I have owned a Bugaboo and can say that they do push quite well. The Bugaboo, much like the Stroll-Air, can have either seat facing either direction. The donkey can accept two bassinets, or two regular seats. I am not sure if it will accept car seats or not.

Here, you'll see the Bugaboo Donkey in action.

6)      Baby Jogger City Mini

The BJCM is likely one of the “up and coming” most popular double strollers. It is being sold by Babies R Us, which makes it a bit more “high profile” than the other strollers featured here.

If you are looking for “easy to fold” then you have found the stroller of your dreams. It doesn’t get ANY easier than this! You hold on to the handle that says “pull to fold” and pull it… That’s it. One part, SUPER fast and super easy. This makes the BJCM ideal in climates like Portland where you don’t want to be fighting to fold a stroller in the pouring rain.

As a TOTAL bonus, the 2011 line will include a new PURPLE colorway!  The BJCM is also the most affordable double featured here at $400.

Despite the name, the BJCM should NEVER be used for jogging.

7)      Bumbleride Indie Twin

The Indie is another “up and coming” popular stroller. It has a much larger footprint than the BJCM, but can also be used on rougher terrain, since it has air tires.

The largest advantage to the Indie is that the footrest is adjustable and you can create a bassinet-like feel to the seat, almost cocooning your baby, without purchasing anything extra. Bumbleride has FABULOUS fabrics that are machine washable and great colors.

While this stroller does have air tires, it is NOT designed as a jogging stroller.

8)      Mountain Buggy Urban Double

What sets the MBUD apart from the crowd, is the fact that it is one of few strollers that offers a “twin” bassinet option. The bassinet is also large enough to fit newborn triplets.

With an adjustable handle bar, and large basket, it’s an ideal strollers for most any family. I believe it was in 2010 when MB released the double with independent canopies. Prior years had one canopy for the two seats.

9)      BOB Duallie

If you’ve ever wanted a BOB, now’s the time to buy. BOBs are rarely on sale, but with the new 2011 models, you can find them for up to 25% off at several retailers, who are clearing way to make room for the new models. The stroller does accept a car-seat, but only one.
