Mountain Buggy Urban Strollers

You want hard core ruggedness and all-terrain ability in your double strollers? Then I’m about to clue you in to something you will want to pay attention to: the Mountain Buggy Urban Double.

Truly, this thing is Hummer-esque. Luckily for its owners, the gas mileage is significantly better. It is pretty stout, square and compact. Its looks tell you that it means business. Yet it is only 29 inches wide and weighs 32 pounds.

What are some of the features that set this apart or help you narrow this down to be one of your top choices? It’s got shock absorbers on the wheels. It’s got a tall canopy that gives at least 2 inches additional head room for your kids as they grow. The stroller has large 12-inch air filled wheels which are large but not excessively so. The rims are polymer rather than just metal and thus will be rustproof.

Both seats are parallel side by side but they can be individually reclined from straight up fully upright to straight reclined. The front wheels on this are the ones that lock. As you would expect with nearly all strollers nowadays, there is ample storage in the form of a big basket underneath the seats. And the large handlebar can be rotated up and down for parents of different heights.

The Mountain Buggy also has some nice color and fabric pattern options that a lot of double strollers simply don’t have. You have houndstooth, a cabana blue which is a nice parallel color line mix, and some additional textured colors which give a nice dimension and depth compared to the sameness that a lot of other one color strollers have. It also can hold a lot of weight – we are talking 120 pounds of kids. Heck that will hold some moms.

For those of you in colder climates, there is even an option for 100% Australian lamb’s wool liner for the double stroller. That is certain to provide a cushy feel for your precious occupants and might even be more comfy than a lot of our own car seats! Other optional accessories include a bumper bar for the child to hold while riding, a handlebar extension for an extra 4-inch height, a carseat clip, a matching tire pump, and a hand brake on terrain models that is connected to front wheel brake pads.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Double in summary is a great alternative for the active mom and parents who want a lot of durability in their stroller and still keep all the function and flexibility you would expect in a standard package.
