First the things I like. The width is awesome. At 25 inches wide it is barely wider then our city mini single (1 inch) and almost the same as our single bob. I have yet to find a door I can't fit through. It handles very well and seems durable. On the complaints list is that it is heavy but not really any heavier then other double strollers, that is just a problem with all doubles in my opinion and it does take up a lot of space when folded. The folding itself is okay not great not terrible, it can be a little awkward but it's not complicated. As for size my 41 inch, 37 pound 4 year old still fits fine with the canopy up or down but she is getting close to the limit which is fine she will only be using it for another 6 months at most anyway. Both of my kids are very comfy in this stroller and the canopies provide very good but not amazing coverage (like say a city miini or cybex). I tested a lot of doubles before I got this one and you can't beat the convenience of this width.
17 of 19 people found the following review helpful.I have 4mth old boy/girl twins and I'm really loving this stroller. We had the baby jogger city select, and while we loved it with the car seats, it was really hard to push/turn as the kids got heavier.Now that the kids able to sit on their own, we decided to look at other options. We were always a big fan of the side by sides but couldn't get over the size of them. The Duo was just too heavy for my wife, and the BOB Duallie was just too big. This is where the city select did great because it was light, small, BUT dealing with the car seat adaptors and seats was a pain.When I heard about the DUET, we had to go see it. We loved the look of mountain buggy and we instantly knew that this stroller would work for us. Please note that my review is based on how well the stroller performs as advertised, and not what I think an ideal stroller should be.Size - perfect for our little ones. There's lots of room to grow, but the seats are definitely smaller than other side by side strollers out there. But I would rather deal with that later, and be able to fit through doorways and take the kids grocery shopping.Mobility - smooth! No rattling as reported from a previous reviewer. I could turn the buggy with one hand easily where as the baby jogger required 2 hands on at all times.Quality - Right up there with most quality strollers. A reviewer noted that there was a huge hole, but I don't see that. The sun shades are massive! I'm sorry, but if you're out in the rain and you're worried about the little hole in the right, I'm wondering what you're thinking about the giant hole where your kids are sitting...that's what rain shields are for...Weight - it's a bit heavy, but you're also not removing any pieces off in order to fold it. We have a Honda Odyssey and my wife 5'2" has no problem getting it in and out.Overall we love it, and really have no complaints!***update after 14 months***Well my twins are now 19months and they are on the larger side. They are about 32" tall and weight 25 & 28 lbs. They still fit in the stroller but it is getting tight.With the side by side they tend to fight, this might not affect you as much, but my kids really have a love hate relationship. I'm still glad that we got rid of the babyjogger city select because my friend has it and it's very heavy to steer and is someone unstable coming off curbs (ramped).I've only pumped the tires twice and it was easy to do. This stroller still rolls as smooth as day one. The only issue we had was that the brake got stuck. We called MB and they sent us a tube of grease to use on the brake and now it's smooth again. You can use any lube if you don't want to wait. I had a can of silicon spray and that worked.
12 of 14 people found the following review helpful.We've had our Mountain Buggy Duo for three years. Aside from fading because we leave it out sometimes, it has held up very well, and performs like new. Here are some of the things my wife and I love about it:1. I LOVE it because the handlebar can go super-tall. I'm 6'2" with long torso and short arms (a comic image, I know), and I can raise the handle high enough such that I can keep a very good posture. My neighbor who's three inches taller borrows it when he's sitting his granddaughter for this exact reason.2. Stability & Width- I'm sure there are more stable options out there, but a double that fits through every door we've ever met? It's amazing, a three-year-old, and a newborn, through the doors, over curbs, in between clothes racks in the Macy's, at the rodeo fairgrounds, the park, the street, we have yet to upend it, even with older siblings driving.3. Built in pump- I threw in a $2 patch kit, and the pump that fits inside the cargo holder makes it a complete kit. Saved our day at the amusement park last year.4. Stroller & Jogger- Lock the front wheels straight and run as fast as you can. Did I mention it's stable?5. Indestructible- I know I mentioned that it has held up well, but now that I think about it, our kids are really "active". And as parents, we tend to neglect protecting our stuff against them (except for my surfboard). The Mountain Buggy has been used to haul pets, rocks, potted plants, and probably a million other things I don't want to think about. As I said, aside from the fading, it's as new.6. It looks cool. We're kinda vain, and like to be perceived as hip and stylish with a splash of functional. Done.7. It folds up super tight. You don't have to take anything off or apart. Although, if you're super-short on space, you can remove the wheels without tools.8. Great accessories- Storm covers, carry cots, shade covers, drink holders, cozy little sleeper bags, etc. There is no shortage of cool things to buy for it. We've only added the storm cover, but we flirted shamelessly with the idea of buying a carry cot.What's not so great:-The release latch to fold up the stroller wasn't quite right. At first you had to get a large flat-blade screwdriver to get the tab to clear the foot dasher board. I'm sure it was an assembly defect. I fixed it myself, but I was bugged about it.-I mentioned that the fabric faded. Of course that's because we left it out a lot, but we leave out a lot of stuff, and this seemed to fade faster and harder. I'm guessing the fabric is not UV resistant. Maybe they've changed that in the last three years.-Tires, we put a lot miles on the tires. I didn't think they were super high quality anyway. I had to put new tires on after two years.-Parking brake- It works very well, but it's painful to my toes to take the parking brake off when I'm barefooted (you're probably wondering why we're parents by now ;) ).
