So, I've been doing some research on prams and this pram seems to be the pick of the bunch for me at the moment.
Was wondering, for those who have one, are you happy with it?
Do you have any complaints about them?
Are they easy enough to fold up and attach the bassinet attachment?
I like the fact that it's lightweight and a little more compact than other prams ie the urban jungle, but are there any cons associated with it being smaller?
Thanks!
i have the mountain buggy urban elite, it was a good pram, bassinet was really easy to attach, easy to fold, etc. if you have a small boot its a pain casue even though its narrow etc the wheels on mine are so big its hard to fit in. and the one thing that really annoyed me is that the seat doesnt sit bolt upright, its only goes to a slightly reclined possition, and DD hated it cause she always want to sit up properly ( when she was over 1yr old), i had to change the straps so she wasnt wearing the over the shoulder straps and prop her up otherwise she wouldnt go in it. but its a sturdy pram....although ive had to get replacment inner tubes for the tyres about 3 times casue i kept getting flats. but that only cost about $15. and one time it was my fault for trying to get in in my friends boot and it wouldnt fit, slammed the boot shut on the tyre and popped it : red face : hth
Thanks Beckoes. Do you know the main differences between the elite and the swift?
i just googled the mountain buggy page and they dont have the urban elite on there anymore? only the urban jungle, which im not sure is the same. They look pretty similar though. the elite has a bigger storage area underneath than the swift, and mine didnt have that bar bit at the front.
I also liked the fact that the handle bar is adjustable for when DH uses it. And it turns really well, you can drive it with one hand no problem. Its withstood some missuse over the years, i used to do the food shopping at the super market down the road and pile 20+ kgs of shopping in/on/around it and have DD in the baby sling and walk home! the only thing i might have changed is the fact that you cant turn DD around to face you once they are in the normal pram (after bassinette), she would have like to face me sometimes.
i think its the sort of pram that would last five kids if looked after well (should be for the price :) ), but i dont think they make a toddler attachment chair so if you had kids closer together i dont think you could turn it into a double.
