Mountain Buggy Urban Double
Tested by Colleen Thorpe, Robyn, 2, and 10-month-old Daina, CalgaryPrice $796
Weight 35 lbs
Width 29 inches
Features Five-point harnesses, quick-release pneumatic wheels and shock absorbers, foot-operated brake and a swivelling, lockable front wheel for easy turning. An optional carrycot converts one side into a rear- facing pram. Padded seats fully recline.
Pros “It looks wide, but has fit through every doorway. The manoeuvrability and braking system is amazing; it turned smoothly, like a sports car, no matter how big the kids. The handle is so easy to adjust when changing over to Dad or going up a hill.”
Cons “It’s too heavy for me to load daily into our minivan and the sunshade isn’t large or secure enough. It also doesn’t have cup holders, and access to the basket can be a bit tight.”
Rating 8/10
