Best Mountain Buggy 3-Wheel Prams & Strollers

Model 2017 - good pram – This is my first pram for my first child and I bought the mountain buggy swift second hand. I chose this pram because it’s not sold at an outrageous… Read more

price point like other pram brands, it’s compact enough, easy to manoeuvre and versatile. I am pretty happy with it. I like the option of the carrycot plus which allows to have a parent facing seat until bub is ready to face the other way. The only problem is : the first model of the carrycot plus is poorly designed. The canopy is too short and does not do well in terms of sun protection. On top of that there is nothing to keep it in place so you spend your time readjusting it which is really painful. They fixed that issue with the second model however it’s not compatible with our pram model. Then it has quite a sporty look so if you have a stroll with other friends who own a bugaboo, a Joolz or a Nuna you look cheap haha I personally don’t care but it’s worth noting for those who do. Lastly the carrycot is quite small so I am not sure it would be big enough for an average to bigger size baby. Our daughter is petite (5th percentile) and she swapped the bassinet for the parent facing seat when she was 3 months.

Buy a bugaboo instead – Look for a different brand. My Mountain Buggy needed new wheel bearings which is a $20 part. Without them the pram doesn’t push properly. I contacted… Read more

Mountain Buggy who advised it is impossible to buy these bearings in Australia. It seems to be a proprietary part so my pram is now unusable because they won’t support their product.

I also own a Bugaboo Donkey Duo. It is a better pram in every single way. It is so much better quality and well designed. I have had some very minor issues which Bugaboo have dealt with immediately and couldn’t have been more helpful.

Really disappointed repeat customer – I first bought a mountain buggy nearly 15 years ago, it was the most fabulous pram - well made, thoughtful design and still looked good and was in… Read more

great condition after more than 5 years of heavy use with multiple kids. I loved it so much that when we went back to having a baby in the house it was the one product I insisted we buy again.

It's hard to describe my disappointment with the product I've bought this time. It is poorly made, doesn't fit together properly, the material used is poor quality and the whole pram feels rickety instead of robust. The new fold down mechanism requires two hands to achieve and has already jammed my fingers. I've only had the pram 4 months and not used it anywhere but concrete and it already has lost a piece from it.

In terms of comfort for a baby. The straps have hard edged plastic parts which can't be moved away from the surface of the baby. It has meant I've had to buy extra padding to provide protection.
