Mountain Buggy Pram

[August]

hi marknjo
I don't know anything personally about the mountain buggy pram but the supermarket aisles is only one place to consider fitting into! At my antenatal clinic I once saw a new mum going for her 6 week check up and she couldnt fit the pram through the door into the doctors office! Very inconvenient! I was actually reflecting on my mothers choice 3 wheeler today as I walk everywhere. It has a nice compact width so I think this is important. But I still have to warn people I'm only on my L's with the pram! The more compact the better, I say!

Hi Marknjo,

I have a Mountain Buggy Elite and I LOVE it. Honestly, it is so easy to manouver, collapse, set up, lift into the boot (although my boot is a little narrow so can be fiddly getting it in if I don't concentrate) and so on. Yes, there are some places that are a little difficult to get the pram around - such as some supermarket checkouts, through some doors etc. I have problems at one section of my doc's practice - but ALL prams have difficulty in that section. The rest is fine. The only doors I've had trouble with are the older more narrow ones.
My only complaint about the Mountain Buggy is that it didn't come with the bar (so nothing to really put toys for bubs on) and also the tyres. It seems that I have to pump them up at least once a month and the pump that came with it is useless (or so DH says ). Our pram gets a lot of use 4 days a week and I do go up and down a lot of stairs as well as over "rough" terrain.
Although the pram does not fit a toddler seat etc, I saw at the Pregnancy, Baby, and Child expo last year a "bike" that latches on to the back of it. And you can also buy a "skateboad" from memory.

HTH!
