Which would you pick? City Mini Double GT or Bumbleride Indie Twin?

I like both, i was set on the Bumbleride Indie Twin and then City Mini came out with the new GT with the air tired good for grass and dirt and easier basket access, i keep going back and forth, im def buying one next week just not sure which one. I have a tall 3 year old and a tall 1 year old, which one would you choose? Which one folds flatter? Which one has better basket access? I like the color options more with the Bumbleride but i like the look of the City Mini double...so stuck and can't have both!

Which one??

I compared the singles and went with the Bumbleride Indie. I found the ride to be smoother, the basket to be better and I wanted the adjustable footrest. The weight and height limit on the City Mini GT are higher though.

I have the GT and love it my cousin went with the bumble. She loves it too and she is a runner however she is in the bike shop once a week bc the inner tube keeps popping on hers.

I had one issue with the GT the wheel lock in front that keeps the wheel straight kept self locking and i couldnt turn

I called baby jogger and they fed ex'ed me a replacement wheel and another front wheel. They gave me 2 to change so the fronts wore evenly....wonderful customer service....

other than that I LOVE LOVE my GT double

I have the BUmbleride Indie Twin and if I had to do it over I would not have gotten it...Should have taken the hint when the first one that I received from the company was obviously used and missing pieces. I have also had many problems with the tires. Last year when we were away in PA I had to visit a bike shop twice because the inner tube of one tire kept blowing out in my car.

Also Bumbleride's customer service is HORRIBLE! It is literally ONE person in CA who is the biggest *****. You always have to leave a message because it's just her.

I also took the fabric off the seats to wash them and cannot get them back on correctly.

I have the Bumbleride Indie Twin & absolutely love it & do not regret spending.the $$ on it. I use it daily on walks & all terrain & its got one of the smoothest rides. Both my boys are tall & fit comfortably in the stroller.

I do like how flat the seats recline & the adjustable footrests. Also the canopies are really good for coverage & venting. I feel it folds rather compactly & have only had 1 issue in the 2 years with needing a new inner tube. If I guessed the amount of miles I've put on the stroller, I think I got my moneys worth on the original tires.

same here but haven't had any trouble with the tires.. i bought it when DS was a NB and DD was 2-they are now 3 and 5 and i STILL use it! we have taken it on the plane to disney, to the city, on walks around town etc. it's great. the only complaint i have is that for all that money you still have to buy a snack tray or cup holder separate Chat Icon
but i love all of it's features and the one reason i chose it over the CM is b.c the CM seats seems smooshed together to me-too close
with the bumble there seems to be a little more room and that is good for my kids esp now that they are older and bigger.

I love my bumbleride. I have had issues with the tire, but I've had really good customer service on several occasions. They have sent me new parts and I never had to pay a dime. It's worth it IMO

i have the double gt. love it soo far. It has plenty of room for my very tall 2 year old which I like and has a really smooth ride because of the bigger wheels. the only negative is the basket underneath is kind of small and hard to get to.
