Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller Review {Part 2: Accessories}

This is the second installment of my review of the Bumbleride Indie Twin stroller. (Click to read {Part 1: Introduction} of the Bumbleride Indie Twin review.) The focus of the written review is the Indie Twin accessories, but the video is an overview of many of the stroller’s features.

Standard Accessories included with the Indie Twin:
* Rain Cover
* Air Pump
* Single Cup Holder
* Headrest and Shoulder Pads
* Infant Seat Adapter Bar and Safety Belt

Luckily, we haven’t had to use the Rain Cover or the Air Pump yet, but I love that they are included. After all, these are not the kinds of things you want to hunt down or seek out – when you need them, you need them right away. The Rain Cover comes folded in a zippered pouch and doesn’t take much room. You can easily leave it in the basket of the stroller so you’re prepared if it rains. Likewise, the Air Pump is small and will easily connect to your tires if they need some extra air. I’d love if the under the seat stroller basket included a velcro attachment or some way to carry the Air Pump so that it is always securely with the stroller.

The Single Cup Holder is a great feature. Neither of my single strollers have a cup holder so, for me, this is a total luxury. It does add width to a side by side stroller, which can be problematic, but it is super simple to put on and remove if need be. I also like that you can put it on either side of the stroller.

I really like the Headrest and Shoulder Strap pads. They are super easy to put on the stroller and add comfort without being too bulky.

The most valuable standard accessory is the Infant Car Seat Adapter Bar and Safety Belt. The Adapter Bar clicks in quickly to two slots on either side of the seat The safety belt simply attaches to the safety harness of the Indie Twin in the seat and straps around the car seat. It really couldn’t be easier. Baby Girl uses a Graco Snugride and it fit on the Adapter Bar with no trouble. It snaps securely and it’s recommended you adjust the foot rest and stroller seat to cradle the car seat for added support. In addition, the Safety Belt adds another layer of security.

The Infant Seat Adapter Bar can be used on either seat in the stroller, but the Indie Twin can only accommodate one infant seat at a time. I was worried that the infant car seat would encroach on the other seat but it really doesn’t. The Infant Adapter seat is compatible with the following car seats: Graco Snugride, Graco Snugride 32, Graco Safeseat, Chicco Keyfit, Chicco Keyfit 30 and Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP.

There are also some super cool Optional Accessories. If you like in a cold climate, the Footmuff & Liner are perfect! I love that they perfectly match the stroller so you can continue the streamlined, modern look of the Indie Twin while keeping little ones super cozy and warm. I also adore the idea of the Carrycot for an infant.

This short video includes an overview of the stroller and some of my favorite features as well as more photos of the accessories.

To Buy… I LOVE that the Indie Twin can accommodate an infant car seat and that the Adapter Bar is a standard accessory. I also think the Air Pump is a must with inflated tires. The optional accessories are great additions to the Indie Twin and it’s great that they add function while allowing you to maintain the style of the stroller.

Or Not to Buy… I wish the stroller basket included a way to hold the tire Air Pump. And, I’m sure mamas to twins would like it if the Indie Twin could carry two infant seats at one time.
