Excellent Stroller!,

This review is from: Mountain Buggy Duo Stroller, Black Dot (Baby Product)
After much research and comparison shopping, we decided on the Mountain Buggy Duo. We own the Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle and love it, but we were not going to blindly buy another MB; even with how much we love the Urban Jungle. When the Duo arrived and we put it together we found it to have the same quality and features that we love so much about the UJ. It's incredibly easy to set up and collapse down. The wheels are a great size for easy maneuvering and a smooth ride. Add the suspension system and both kids (newborn and toddler) are very comfortable. I tell people it's the Cadillac of strollers. We are very thankful that both strollers have been bought for us by a number of people pooling their funds together to give us a gift certificate to purchase what we wanted, otherwise we would never be able to afford such an expensive ride for our kids. But because we spend so much time at Disneyland in SoCal, it's important for us to get something that works for them and us...Read more

After a TON of research I finally bought this stroller.
Main points for me
1. All terrain tires, these are beasts I can go up low/ medium curbs with
out lifting and it tackles broken sidewalks easily.
2. Narrow. Now this thing looks HUGE, but it breezes through doorways.
3. Amazing handling, I was going into a bike shop to get my tires filled and realized I had to bring the stroller in backwards, it just spun in place. No effort at all.
4. So easy and light to push. I didn't think I'd use the run away wrist strap, but it is needed. I can push this stroller with my stomach while walking, or wrists or one finger or whatever. I put my 2 1/2 year old (34 lbs) and my niece (4 years 36lbs) and honestly it didn't feel any more difficult to push then when no one was in it.
5. Don't have but will want: I love the scooter for older children and the Cozy cot, it reminds me of the...Read more

Out With the New and Back into the Old!,

This review is from: Mountain Buggy Duo Stroller, Black Dot (Baby Product)
Mountain Buggy was bought out by Phil & Teds in 2009 and production of the strollers was moved from New Zealand to China. The quality that was once expected and faithfully delivered from Mountain Buggy has pretty much disappeared. The previous version of this stroller, before the company was acquired by P&T, was called the Urban Double. Even though they look very similar, they are not. The older stroller was a true workhorse. It could handle just about anything and was durable and reliable. The Duo stroller just feels cheap in comparison. The tires, fabric, hinges, and frame do not look and feel like the original high quality Mountain Buggy we once loved. My advice is stay away! Phil & Teds strollers have mediocre reviews at best because true quality and well thought out design are lacking. That same unfortunate fate seems to be around the corner, if not already here for Mountain Buggy. Phil & Teds is riding on the coattails of what was once a GREAT stroller manufacturer and changing...Read more
