Preparing for Twins

Inside story with Sally Pinera as she plans for the arrival of twins! Sally is an accomplished wedding photographer living in Florida with her young growing family. She has shared with us her excitement of finding out she was expecting twins to knowing what matters most when preparing for their arrival.

Tell us a little about yourself and how you first came across Bumbleride?

I’m a photographer and content creator. I photograph weddings, families, lifestyle brands, products and more. I first came across Bumbleride when I was researching for side to side twin strollers. And to be honest, my needs and wants in a double stroller had a long laundry list of things.. and very fortunately Bumbleride Indie Twin checked every box and more!

We know you are an experienced mom of a toddler and now expecting twins. That is so exciting! How did you feel when you found out you were expecting precious twins?

It came at a complete surprise! I got married at 23, and had a lot of difficulty getting pregnant. So much so that my toddler is the result of 8 years trying and ultimately IVF. Then only 3 years later with zero intervention, we found out we were expecting… and expecting double! We were in shock, in awe, and more in love with our little growing family. I couldn’t believe I was gifted a double rainbow, I was just so grateful.

We realize there are many decisions to prep for babies. What are some things that feel most important to your growing family when choosing your baby gear?

In this day and age, I think it’s hard not to be informed. There’s just so much access to information at your fingertips. I had already done so much research with my toddler, I took some of it with me as I prepared for the twins. But with twins, I wanted to make sure we chose the right gear that offers ease of use, true practicality, and can work for my 3 little ones and myself.

In choosing the Indie Twin, what features are you and your husband most attracted to?

Some strollers were too heavy, some had too many bulky parts, some were made with chemicals we stay away from for baby products. And some simply didn’t work for 3 children of different ages. The Indie Twin is so well made but not so heavy that I can’t take it in and out by myself! We loved that the seats were an all in one bassinet and baby/toddler seat. It just meant we didn’t have to store things in the house or in the car separately. And as a family of 5 we have a lot we carry around so it was a relief to know Indie Twin had ample storage! We are obsessed with the toddler board - so fun and so practical for our oldest who loves exploring and being in and out of his seat. Bumbleride checked every box we had so it was no brainer. Also helped that it was an attractive, sturdy,  reliable gear since we will be using it for a long time for all kinds of fun adventures!

We've learned eco materials are important to you. Is there one that stands out to you the most? 

I don’t know any other baby brand that is as attentive to material as Bumbleride. So much so that they are just as attentive to what the parent uses like the non toxic handlebar made from all natural cork.

With the health of your babies in mind, what resonates with you from Bumbleride's Health Checklist?

As a health conscious individual and parent I truly appreciated how every detail of the stroller was considered alongside the baby’s health. I love that Bumbleride Indie Twin is free from PFAS, fire retardant, BPA, Phthalates, Chlorine, Formaldehyde, and more. It’s TRULY a non toxic stroller completely safe for baby and your family.

What activity do you look forward to doing with your toddler and your twins once they are born?

We are looking forward to all the adventures we’ll have together! Including camping, hiking trails, lazy beach days, even traveling abroad! But on many days, we’ll enjoy and find magic in our daily stroll and park days as now a family of 5.
