14 of 14 people found the following review helpful.Even though I didn't purchase my Mountain Buggy from amazon, I just had to write and let everyone know what a great stroller it is. I feel like I should help out all those poor moms (and possibly dads) who are currently doing hours upon hours of research to find a stroller (as I once did!) As it turns out, I made the right choice. My initial hesitation with the stroller was that it appears to be really big. However, this is largely an optical illusion, which I think is created by the large tires. When you compare it with other strollers which offer similar functions (able to fully recline, optional carrycot, offering durability and a smooth ride for baby) it's really not more than 2 or 3 inches longer, and it's exactly the same width (this was what I found when I lined it up next to the uppababy vista in the shop)So, what more can I tell you... First of all, I've covered size - not a drawback at all when bringing it on the bus, or getting through doorways or wheeling around larger shops and grocery stores. You will have to check that it fits in your trunk however, if you have a small car this may be an issue. Most importantly, it is safe and comfortable for baby. The sidewalks around my place are quite bumpy from the roots of old trees breaking through here and there, but my little one has never had a rough ride, and every day I am so glad I went for a stroller with sturdy, air filled tires. The carry cot was great as an indoor bed at night, and buggy bassinet. My ten month old is now off the charts for height, and he is very comfortable in the seat. If you are tall, like I am, you will appreciate the height of the handle. I'm 6'1, and it's plenty tall enough for me (but adjusts to accommodate shorter folks). This was a factor which eliminated many, many other strollers for me! Simplicity of design. This makes it easy to use, more versatile, and less likely to break, as there are fewer pieces to fail. For example, the method for adjusting the seat recline is just a couple of heavy duty straps which slide through buckles. This means you can choose precisely any degree of recline you want, and it's very easy to adjust, and there are really no pieces that could break or fail. Pretty much the only part of this stroller that seems complex enough to break down are the brakes, and the adjustable handle bar. Which brings us to : customer service and warranty. VERY VERY IMPORTANT. Let's face it, everything is made in China these days, and everything made in China WILL break, usually sooner rather than later. No matter how expensive your product is, or what the name brand is, it will break. It's probably all made at the same factory anyways. This has been my experience as a consumer with regard to any number of products I've used that were manufactured in China. So, when purchasing a stroller (an expensive item that will be subject to daily wear and tear) you must find a company with good customer service (this was a deciding factor against the overpriced Bugaboo, as I'd read negative reviews about their customer service and warranty). It just so happens, that after only 3 months of light use, the brakes failed on one side. Mountain Buggy's online warranty claim was a breeze to use; I simply uploaded a photo of the defect, a photo of my receipt, and wrote a brief description of the problem. I received an email response within the week, and within 2 weeks they had fedex-ed me a brand new frame. Yes, a whole frame. I had been dreading the thought of getting my stroller to some authorized dealer to have it repaired, (I don't drive), lugging my 18 pound baby around in the interim while it was being repaired, then dealing with the paperwork of filing a claim for the repair charges, and finally ending up with a $500 stroller that was less than perfect after only 3 months!) Well, I am so happy to say that my experience was not at all the stressful story I've just outlined, and was in fact so impressive, that I was inspired to write this review. Happy stroller shopping!

7 of 7 people found the following review helpful.Overall, I am very pleased with this stroller. It is very well designed and I love the fact that it can be used from birth until about 4 years old. Because it reclines all the way flat, we were taking our newborn for walks around the block when he was just 2 weeks old. The shade is completely adjustable and does a great job blocking the sun. For the few drawbacks, I must point out that the tires are very soft & the tread will wear away rather quickly. Our son is now 7 months old and we have completely worn away one of the tires so that the steel belting is showing through and is now flat - we will have to order a relacement. Another thing is that the shade doen't completely lay flush to the frame when in the up (normal) position - there have been a few times that my son has wedged his hand between the frame and the shade's support bar in a painful way. I would say that overall it is a very goog stroller, however, I wish 3.5 stars was an option - for the price I was expecting a near flawless product, which this is not.UPDATE: my son is now 18 months old and we have gone through 3 sets of tires (7 tires in total: 6 rear & 1 front tire) as well as 4 inner tubes at a cost of more than $150. Since the tires are an unusual size alternative replacements are unavailable and one must purchase them through the manufacturer (I've tried many online bicycle parts websites to no avail). Downgraded review to 3 stars. If anyone has had their stroller for over a year & uses it regularly please comment if they have/have not had the same problem.
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful.bought this stroller three years ago. now that we have two children i am looking at the double. i LOVE my mountain buggy. we lived in down town chicago for the first two years we had this stroller. we could walk to everything we needed so we didn't even keep our car in the city so i used this stroller everyday for everything. i abused and misused it and it still held up great. for instance the roomy under storage combined with the shopping bag strap near the handle bar held groceries for a family of four at least once a week for two years i'm positive i surpassed the weight limit many times. when i wasn't carting around my shopping it very easily held all baby supplies and frequently family picnic lunches.i liked the wobble suspension it's means going on rough terrain is much more comfortable for baby. also nice when they are fussy, you can jiggle the stroller a bit as you're walking to sooth them. after three years of almost daily use of at least two to three miles per day the wheels have started to wear but have not needed to replace yet. i just occasionally pump them up with small hand pump that comes with the stroller. i've used it jumping city curbs and jogging on paved and unpaved routes, although it's not an extreme all terrain stroller a well used woodland path is fine.i didn't have a problem with it being too big as some people have said. it's a bigger stroller but i was never limited on where i could go even shopping in little boutiques or at crowded festivals. the only thing i didn't like to do by myself is try to get on the bus. you can't lift this safely by yourself with a baby in it.style and function could not be beat by any other brand i saw. i was part of a mom's group so i got to compare with lots of other strollers. a bugaboo for instance is fine if you stay on smooth sidewalks or are in a mall not walking in a city. the bob is an athletic performance stroller but it's ugly! the "BOB" logo can be seen from every angle because it's on there like six times. my buggy is sleek and stylish and doesn't flash a brand which i like.the recline feature is great it goes virtually flat so even a very young baby can use it and my daughter slept very well in it. easy to do i've even done it without stopping our walk. the brake is handy and reliable the safety strap is a must. just slips on your wrist. it folds up smoothly after practicing once or twice and is very easy to unfold. it fit easily in the trunk of a two door honda civic.i got the plastic rain cover which i think is a must if you will use it in the cold. chicago gets very cold and i was worried about getting out to do errands with my baby girl but a snuggly stroller bag and the rain cover kept her cozy in any weather even a february blizzard.my only complaint and it's something that the bob beats it on i hate to say, is that the sun shade should be bigger. i did have to use a blanket over the front certain times of day a bit of a pain. but i really do love this stroller lots of fond memories exploring chicago just me my daughter and our trusty mountain buggy.p.s. added at a later date.the front of the stroller got run over by a truck backing out in a parking lot (thankfully no baby in it) and it was TOTALLY FINE. it was five years old at this point. one plastic spoke on the wheel snapped but i didn't have to replace the wheel it rides smoothly. we bought a used double now that we have two kids and i gave our single to a friend who just had a baby. they LOVE it. they are using it heavily as well because they are fit outdoorsy people. more proof that this brand is worth the money.
