Editor's Mountain Buggy Urban Double Stroller Review:
Designed to handle rugged use and up to two children the Mountain Buggy Urban Double is a great option in the dualie landscape. The double seats allow for multiple configurations for children of mixed ages. For example, The Urban Double allows you mix and match between the regular seat and carry cot pram, great for carrying one small child and one newborn at the same time. For twins, you can purchase the optional twin carrycot. 29" in width allow the Urban Double stroller to still fit through standard door openings. The Urban Double is available in over 10 colors.
Four large, 12" air-filled tires and rear suspension help smooth bumps and ensure traction over off-road terrain. The front wheel can be position in locked mode for travel over loose terrain such as gravel or for jogging/running use. In more confined spaces like stores or various urban settings, the front wheel can be unlocked to swivel for tighter turning radiuses. The wheels feature ultra-smooth sealed bearings which allow you to push the Mountain Buggy stroller with one finger. The sealed bearings also prevent any moisture or debris from effecting ride performance over time. Rear suspension, hammock style seats add to overall ride comfort. The 5 point safety harness and foot activated brake system add to overall stroller safety.
The Urban Doubles ability to mix and match seating positions and arrangements make is flexible enough for any two child need, regardless of age. The tough design is Mountain Buggy's staple and a go anywhere attitude is great for parents who enjoy being outdoors. The overall weight of the stroller is 35 lbs, which for a double stroller isn't bad. If you looking for a lighter weight double occupancy stroller, but don't intend to go over much uneven terrain, be sure to check out the Maclaren Twin Triumph or Maclaren Twin Techno stroller reviews. Folding the Urban double is a little cumbersome and will take some getting used to.
Adjustable handlebars accommodate users of various heights with ease. We did find the handlebar to be higher than most at the low setting, which maybe an issue for parents under 5'4". The Mountain Buggy's water bottle holder and huge under seat storage bin hold everything you might need to make it through your day. The easy care fabric is water repellent and cleans up easily. The Mountain Buggy Urban double seats are adjustable via strap and can be position from upright to nearly flat positions, great for sleeping babies.
The Mountain Buggy Urban Double is light enough for traveling but robust enough for jogging & walking and the simplistic features make maintenance a breeze. We would recommend to anyone who especially loves the outdoors with young children, whatever weather. If you enjoy taking advantage of the outdoors, travel frequently and require double capacity this should be a great option for you.
