Mountain Buggy Duet

Do not buy – After two years, this thing has fallen apart. It needs to be constantly cleaned, and the seats don't sit straight. The tyres are bald, and the parts are expensive to replace. I do not recommend this stroller. Show details

Bad customer service – Pram frame snapped just out of warranty of 2 years. Mountain buggy wouldn’t help out of warranty. Also zips to the seat never fit together properly. Do not recommend Show details

I love Mountain Buggy!!! A comparison with the Stealcraft strider compact – First we brought the stealcraft strider compact which we were very disappointed with! 8 months later we purchases the Mountain Buggy Duet which I wish we had of just done in the first place. With the stealcraft my oldest son was underneath and couldn’t see a thing so he wouldn’t sit in it and wanted to be carried, the Mountain Buggy side by side… Read more

instantly solves this problem. The stealcraft would get bogged on any gravel or dirt, whereas the Mountain Buggy goes through almost anything We live in sandy areas and this pram is perfect, it goes up curbs easy with two children in, goes off road, compacts down flat with one bottom. The stealcraft you can’t remove the covered to clean the pram, this one you can. The reason I didn’t buy this pram originally was because I though it would be too big and couldn’t get through doors but this is not the case at all, it is so misconceiving and easily fits through all doors. And best of all you can purchase the Joey bag for the side when the eldest wants to scoot to the shops and you need to do a food shop.

Love the pram but buy the aerotech wheels – I have owned all 3 Models of the duet yep crazy I know not actually intentional our original 2011 model was the absolute beast got a beating from 2 boys 40kms plus a week upgraded it to aerotech no puncture wheels once they were released it had a great 3 years used sold it then surpise baby so brought the next model the 2.5 yep not really a huge… Read more

fan the fold idea was fantastic but you had to watch for the bar in the middle coming undone and breaking the seat fabric again used aerotech wheels and now we are onto the V3 model I really do like it the hand break is stupid though but the shorter fold is fantastic but dont get ripped off with mountain buggies stupid buy it as a single scheme and then they won't let you just purchase the seat fabric and hood as we already had the carry cot plus and didnt want the carry cot in the family pack without the plus eg no forward facing seat that they will the rob you for $99 for a scrap of fabric (angry face) oh and the 2.5 and v3 model you can't wash the seat fabrics in the washing machine what on earth were you thinking mountain buggy kids are grot monsters to live life without limit they need food for mummies sanity of silence CHANGE THE SEAT FABRICS BACK! Overall I love the pram and think they need to get back to basics eg washable fabrics and loose the inflatable wheels unless they want to find harder wearing materials to make them from

Fantastic pram – A dream to push! I have recently bought one for my 4 and 2yo and they fit comfortably and it is so much more compact when folded than my previous double. So so happy with it. Show details

Loved it – Great on all terrains Used from birth with my twins initially with capsules and then in the seats. We took it to England on a family holiday. Had to replace handle as the rubber grip was torn in transit but MB sent out a new replacement for $30 so parts arent pricey. My only issue was the wheels went flat regularly. We splurged on the non puncture… Read more

tyres eventually but that was at the tail end of using the pram. Easy to fold up and could do it one handed. It was heavy lifting in and out of boot of car but no more so than others. I loved it.

Can't live without this pram! – This pram is a must for any parent especially a multiple mum! It is easy to push on all terrain with good suspension. Even our 3 yr old loves going in the pram still. The basket underneath is actually quite spacious holding a nappy bag and more. Would recommend to anyone!

Good but has some problems – The pram pushes brilliantly, fits through most doorways. Love the pram in that sense. Dont like the air filled tyres. Constantly getting punctures. Instructions are useless. Really not easy to understand. Don't like the zips to hold all the seats in place. I find they don't stay done up especially with the 2 year old in it. Hard to lift into the car. The extras are really pricey too, like the mosquito net and rain cover.

great pram! – One of the best decisions I've made to buy this product, great pram, love the basket idea and it may not look like it can but I have had no issues fitting through doors & fits fine into my car. My little girl loves the seat, sits up and can see everything and when sleeping lays flat.

Love love love – Love this pram. It’s so easy to push and copes well with uneven terrain. Heaps of storage. If you use it as a single and have the basket on the side you double your storage easily and makes grabbing things out while on the go very convenient. Not to mention mountain buggy have fantastic consumer service when ordering replacement parts or extras… Read more

for their prams. Two down sides: it’s weight when you lift it to put it in the car and that it doesn’t fold down as compact as some other brands do.

Great pram – Easy to manoeuvre, easy to fold. However when foldered it as bulky and a bit awkward,only downside. Quality is great, very easy to push through grass, gravel and then footpath. 18month old and 3 year old love getting in it. Uv sun cover and rain cover are a "extra" would be great if they were included. I like the how the seat padding is a… Read more

"pram liner" makes washing the pram very easy!

I like how the pram can also turn into a single with a basket on the side with a skateboard attachment to. Will be good when 3 wear old decides to walk more

The Best All Rounder – My favourite thing about this pram is how incredibly easy it is to push. It doesn't matter whether you're on grass, dirt or on the path it is SO easy to maneuver. I have a 2 and a half year and 8 month old and going up and down curbs is effortless in this pram. It can also fit through a single doorway - winning! People are always surprised when… Read more

they see how easily it can go through tight spaces. I have the gray seatcovers and features which looks beautiful.I definitely recommend this pram.

I took off a star for two reasons: firstly, it is quite difficult to lift in and out of the car because it is an awkward size. Secondly, it doesn't come with proper instructions. It comes with a useless picture booklet and if you want proper instructions you need to go to their website...not completely convenient when you are in the midst of constructing a double pram. But aside from those two things, it's a wonderful pram. For me the pros outweigh the cons.

Perfect! – I love this pram! It is a little heavy but i guess most double prams would be. I can fit through standard door frams with no issues. My nearly 4 year old still sits in it. Steering is great and i take this for my walk every 2 days to the park and supermarket. Very easy to fold too.

Slim side by side pram – We bought this pram due to the fact that it was one of the slimmest side by side prisms on the market, and also one with the most features we liked. Both seats are able to lie completely flat which was great with a newborn and young toddler. The removable belly bar, the adjustable handle, the foot rest and individual sun shades are all features we… Read more

love. The basket is difficult to access when the seats are lying down unfortunately and I wish there was a pram caddy to fit across the handles.

Great pram! – Great pram! Currently using it for both my 2 and 4 yr old.Its easy to maneuver,easy to put into boot,has a good sized basket,great that the handles can be adjusted,adjustable seats are very handy for sleepy babies and also great for hikes or long walks. I Highly recommend this product!

Excellent double pram – This is a great pram. It's the same width as my single MB Urban Jungle which is amazing considering it's a double pram. It's very versatile in that you can have two 'regular' seats, two carrycots or one of each together or use it as a single pram with the joey tote. That's why i bought it because my nearly theee yr old won't be in a pram for much… Read more

longer but when he grows out of it (maximum weight is 18 kg so the average 4 year old) I can still use it for my younger child and use the joey tote to put the shopping in when we go down town. It's very easy to steer and push and maneover around both in shops and over bumpy terrain at the park or where there are no footpaths. The extendable handle is fantastic for me because I'm tall and get sore back and shoulders from pushing prams with shorter handles. I got this pram as a single with a joey tote with a FREE family pack (second seat and a lay flat carry cot) for $700 so it's great value for money and my toddler and baby are both very comfortable in it and live going for our walks in it. My toddler is 103 cm tall & he fits in it well, both in terms of height & width of seat & the straps fit him well (I notice some have said they are too short). He is 17.5 kg and my baby is about 6 kg. You just have to lock the front wheels and it's easier to steer when on a slope or bumpy terrain (I notice his side does feel much heavier). This pram is the double pram recommended by Choice and for me it has lived up to my expectations.

Best pram i’ve Had – Bought this pram when I had my second child. What a great investment. Looks big but it fits through all doors and shopping aisles. Very easy to manoeuvre even one handed which was very handy when it came time for shopping. Build quality is excellent and it’s easy to fold, takes a bit of getting used to lifting it by myself but it’s doable. Bought… Read more

the bassinet attachment which was great whilst my little one was in it. Very happy with it and would definitely recommend

Great pram..aslong as you have boot space – I have a Mountain Buggy Duet Pram. I purchased it from a friend who's twins no longer needed it. I have two kids 15 months apart.I am a small framed person so a light pram was important (15kg). A light pram is important as eventually those two little babies grow and you're pushing close to 50kg ( pram,two growing kids,nappy bag groceries etc)… Read more

This pram is very easy to manoeuvre and fits through a standard door way!!. Parts are easy to replace through the Mountain Buggy website although over priced. I replaced the handle, being 2nd hand it was a little torn. Recently I had a flat tyre whilst on holidays!! luckily I was able to buy the tube from Baby Bunting for $12.95 . Valco tyre tubes are universal with a bent valve (as long as you know the correct size). The pram is easy to wash down, good size under basket. The only downfall is adequate boot space for this pram. I have a Subaru Forrester, it fits easily but not much room for anything else unless you stand it up and use a harness to secure it (we do this when going on holidays) .The Duet is easy to collapse. I recommend this pram as its sturdy, comfortable for the kids and well made.

The best double ever!! – So there's no perfect pram, but this is certainly the best double. I did SO much research. Girls in my mothers' group had doubles (we walked a lot!) so I tried quite a few - Bugaboo, City Select, iCandy... but whilst some of the others were prettier, this was streets ahead in terms of how easy it is to push / steer / go up & down curves - and with… Read more

2 kids (mine are now 18mths & just 4), you want it to be light and easy to push!!

It's also the narrowest - though I still can't work that out as it looks huge, but sure enough, it is the narrowest. I've never not been able to fit through shops etc. But my average sized 4 year old boy is also very comfortable in terms of sitting comfortably - he actually sleeps happily in it.

I have an Audi A3 hatchback so it only just fits. In fact I tend to pop off the 2 back wheels - just pinch and pop them off, it's very easy & quick; to make it even quicker to then just slide into the boot.

Doubles are always going to be heavyish, but this is the lightest (apart from Maclaren style umbrella strollers - but they're awful to go walking outdoors with) and is actually only slightly heavier than my single.

I've never had any quality issues, occasionally (maybe once a month?) I knock one of the front wheel knobs (when getting it out of the car I think) so one of the wheels lock (ideal if you jog with it) but you just flick it back to unlock. But otherwise, tyres, handle, all perfect.

Oh and finally and importantly it cleans up really well. Yogurt, squished pear (!!) all come off the nylon fabric with a few scrubs of a baby wipe , and just once I've gone over it with a damp cloth.

If I didn't go walking so much, (and was comfortable spending more), I'd go the Bugaboo Donkey, but at double the price, it's as good, certainly not doubly as good though!

I'm can't wait to get the Joey Bag once my son's in school, it'll be perfect for shopping at the market with my younger one.

Do not buy- trust me – Had this pram for 6 or 7 months now, the wheels are a joke. We've had to go and buy a pump to pump all four of these tyres once every two weeks. The nozzle to pump the tyres is on the inside of the wheels so it takes 15 minutes to get the nozzle out and pump 1 tyre, I got 2 kids, I don't have time for that. Now 1 of our tyre's pump nozzles is… Read more

broken and letting out air. Went online to see how much they are because you can't just purchase 1 off the shelf of course, $70 for 1 wheel. What a joke. I'm going to get a new wheel put it on and sell it. I am going sing out loud to everyone I know how inconvenient this pram is.

Good pram feels like your driving a bus – This is a great pram compared with all other doubles on the market - it will fit through doorways, and the air tyres give it pretty good feel and steering etc. however compared to a single pram, you will feel like you are driving a bus!! my 2 year old who is on the tall side won't fit into it for much longer however,it is fantastic to have our newborn in the bassinet which is fantastic.

Good sturdy pram – Excellent outdoors pram and great for jogging and going over rough ground. Not so great if you want a fold up pram for your car, unless you have a 4x4 or ute, as it is heavy! We keep ours unfolded outside and use it to walk around our neighborhood and we have a lighter pram for the car, works really well for our twins and they love it!

Not as good as mountain buggy terrain...BUT – The overall strength and ruggedness of this stroller is great. However, it is not as awesome as my mountain buggy terrain. I expected the duet to be a mountain buggy terrain, except built for two....but it is not. It is the inferior younger sibling. Cons: The wheels are small so navigation off-road is more difficult. Bummer. There is NO hand… Read more

break. Sucks. The seats are too short and my 3 year old is already pushing the height limits. Darn. The tallest harness setting is already being used on my 9 month old. Darn again. The tires are always running low. Dang it. The canopy is fixed and cannot be adjusted to cover all angles of sun. Oh man. The cup holders hang at a bad angle so liquid splashes out continuously. Shoot.

BUT

Pros: the stroller is Excellent in that it is smooth and glides like air on pavement. Yay! It is relatively light for its utility power. Great! It maneuvers like a swan on water. Perfect! It pops over curbs like popcorn. Yum... I mean... Awesome! It looks attractive and sporty. Nice! It has a great big compartment for storing a lot of junk. Hooray!

Even with the things I do not like about this stroller, it is still amazing and I would buy it again! Mountain buggy strollers are incredible!

Love this Pram! – This Pram is fantastic! It is easy to maneuver and the most attractive feature is that is is the narrowest of all double (side by side) prams. I found the Pram easy to clean and loved that the capsule attached onto it when I had a newborn! Overall, I am happy with my purchase and I would recommend this product.

This is fantastic for its size , light weight , easy to set up – One of the main reasons for purchasing this pram was its ability to fit through door ways as some other double models didn't , ease of folding , light weight for its size and fits in the boot of our car . Rear pockets were a bit small however, other features sure made up for it . Other feature was if you have limited space in the car the wheels… Read more

come off easily as well ,

Comfort wise , one child can sit up while the other can lie down sleeping.

All in all a great pram that served us very well.

I had a two seat strider before this and this was better over all – The mountain buggy duet was easy to maneuver, fold, super easy and back friendly to unfold and not very heavy to carry, a very comfortable weight to lift into the car. The build quality was great but I'd say better around town than off road. Easy to clean, good quality, sturdy pram with normal use. Nb. Very wide, this did not cause me any trouble… Read more

in all the supermarkets shops etc local to me but inner city supermarket aisles can be very narrow.

Fully adjustable upright to flat both sides perfect for sleeping children of all ages. Also just uses a buckle to adjust so there is no way for the mechanism to fail unlike other prams. I liked this others might find it slightly more fiddly than other pram seat adjusters. Recommend this.

Have had this pram since my children were 1, 3 and 4 (my strider broke it was used thoroughly off road on our block). They are now 6, 5 and 3. Only 3 year old would use it now, I don't really use it because I have a target pram for my 3 year old and that is just right for now, I don't use that much either.

Disappointed – Purchased it when baby #2 came, after loving my Mountain buggy Cosmopolitan I thought the duet was a great option. I was terribly disappointed. Cons Tyres got punctures within a month of owning it, After daily use on roads, foot paths and the front lawn. Got well and truly over patching the tubes. The foam handle cover rips way too easily. … Read more

My 20 month old son is already too big for the seats both width and height

Seat straps are already too short for my 20 month old son (mountain buggy know too well this is a fault as they sell strap extensions as an additional accessory)

It would be much easier if you could lay the seat back with one hand.

Pros

The Joey tote is very handy

Easy to fold

Adjustable handle is great for tall parents

Pram will be getting sold and being replaced by City Select

Better of a bad bunch – I love how super light it is to push, easy to pump up tyres when needed, great to jog with, haven't found a door it doesnt fit through, folds easy, lovely hood size - good coverage, good size basket, easy clips to do up/ undo for securing child. Dont love: lack of storage pocket on back of seats for wallet/phone/keys, everything has to go under… Read more

not great if out for exercise. Heavy to lift in/out of car (but is one of the lightest options), for seats to recline/sit up need to use 2 hands as 2 seperate staps per seat - who has 2 free hands with twins - it is a pain and hard to get them even.seat length not super, great for babies, not sure will fit 2 toddlers comfortably. Not great air ventilation around seats when reclined, not ideal in hot summer.

Awesome pram – I bought this pram when my second was born. We still use it and my oldest us nearly 4. I have since had twins and it is also great with the car seat brackets. Only problem is that we ahead want to use this pram so have to keep swapping between the seats for the older boys and the car seat brackets. Thinking of getting a second one! Best thing we… Read more

did was buy the hard wheels from the website as we did get a few flat tyres. They don't have the inner tube so slightly firmer ride but no hassle about flat tyres. Prior to this we bought a couple of spare tubes and had in the cupboard. This pram gets used every day for the last 2 years and still going strong!

It's good but I don't love it – I bought the mountain buggy duet as I needed a double pram for my two kids but I didn't want some huge pram that wouldn't fit in door ways. I already have a baby jogger city mini gt (single) which I love & I would have bought the city mini double but I didn't like how wide they were & that was the only reason I bought the MB duet. The best parts… Read more

about the MB duet I found are

-the slimmest double pram on the market, I've seen some single prams bigger than this

-fits through most doorways & isles (homes & shops)

-fits perfect on the bus, it doesn't stick out in the isle or anything

-strong, sturdy & can't be tipped

-the handle bar can be adjusted to your height

- comfy for the kids & has a large storage space underneath & the pram can drive over anything, sand, grass, any terrain really...

Things I don't like are.....

-it's heavy (for me anyway) I weigh 50kg & I struggle to lift it sometimes to get it into the car, you'll need a big boot space as when it's folded it still quite big

-it's not as easy to push like the city mini gt

-there is not a lot of room, I have a 15 month old boy & 3.5 yr daughter who are quite petite so they fit snugly & still have room to move but (without offending anyone) if you have "big" babies/kids, they wouldn't have a lot room to move especially taller kids.

(update)

I've had the MB duet for almost 2-3 months now & it has been great except for the tyres, I'm not really happy as nearly every second day I have to pump up one or two of the four tyres & I think that is lame considering the city mini Gt has wheels that never need pumping. The only other negative thing I would say is, it is a heavy pram, but all in all it is a good pram & I use it nearly everyday for walking.

I thought I'd do a little update since I've had the pram for almost 6-7 months now. I read the above & then think how much I love the pram now. I would totally be lost without it, I totally rely on it now & I have to say it's the best pram, yes it's heavy (but I'm so used to it now, it doesn't bother me) but it's strong & my kids are safe in it, it will never tip. I walk with it everyday, in fact I hardly use my city mini anymore as I love this pram now, it's a great investment & my kids can jump on it, climb all over it & it's still as good as the day I bought it. I'm going to have to change my title from good to love it.

Has been great for our twins from birth – 2013 model- Strong, big basket, could steer with one hand while drinking much needed coffee. Decent size separate hoods and rain cover, shade covers. Caddy over handle bar was a great extra we bought. Comfy seats for young babies sleeping. Because of its easy pop up style I could get my twins and pram in the car while mums of singles were… Read more

still disassembling their capsules etc.

Didn't have any tyre issues til it was 2 yrs old. Even then only a couple of flats.

Would have loved to swap handle over or the ability to change the seats to parent facing (which the new model does) as it would have meant less twin questions from people when we were tired.

Also the seats can't go upright enough once they were older. They're still always slightly reclined which meant at times it looked tiring on their necks like they were straining to sit upright.

Overall it has been a fantastic stroller for our family and we didn't pay a fortune. $599 on sale.
