So glad we decided to get it – I put a lot of thought into buying a travel pram, both on if we really needed one and if yes, which one. I loved the look of the Redsbaby Skip but the size of the Mountain Buggy Nano eventually won me over. This pram was by far the best purchase for our trip. We travelled around Europe in December so we also bought the rain cover and snack… Read more
tray. I couldnt do without either. The rain protector kept my son warm even when there was no rain. The snack tray gave him space for his drink and some toys and it is also a nudge bar if you remove the tray. The tray does make it a bit more difficult to fold up but we just slotted it in the pram once folded up.
We used the pram on planes and airports in Australia, Singapore and all over Europe. An absolute lifesaver to help us get checked in without our som running off and he could also nap. Fits perfectly in the cabin.
We had no issues with the wheels on all different terrain. The basket underneath is small so I'd recommend a pram bag but otherwise I love it.
Poor quality - don’t love it – I purchased this pram before a trip to Asia so I could leave my bigger pram (upperbaby alta) at home and have something smaller. This pram hardly handle the trip - I wish I had of got a cheaper ‘copy’ from eBay. Pros: lightweight, easy to Gold/unfold once you get the hang of it. Good recline, great harness & buckle Cons: (small) basket… Read more
scrapes the gutters when you have to lift it so mine has quite a lot of damage and will no doubt break through very soon - after just one trip overseas!, strap covers fall off easily, when folding/unfolding so very easy to lose, pram doesn’t sit up straight enough for my keen toddler, foot break only works from one side so if anyone not familiar uses the pram they can easily break the other brake that’s not supposed to be pushed down on (hard to explain without seeing the pram!), wheels buckle easy when not on completely flat surface.
Overall it is pretty average quality for what you pay for. I wish I had of spent money on a cheap copy.
Love it! – Pros: - folds up to plane cabin size - which means we don't have to check it in and risk breakage, or wait at the gate for staff to bring it (if they even let us bring it to the gate!) - the basket is quite sturdy and can hold quite a bit which we were surprised by - the seat is quite padded and comfortable and easy to clean - 5 point harness… Read more
is easy to use
- the recline is easy to put down and helpful for nappy changes on the go and naps
- smooth ride!
- fits into cars with minimal effort. Also helpful at restaurants without much space
Cons:
- the canopy is very limited and doesn't give much sun cover so baby got sunburn on his legs
- one third of the pram pops open when folded.. The belt
- the folding isn't very intuitive
- the price is a bit steep at RRP, we got it on sale
- forward facing only
- The recline is a bit difficult to put up again if baby is sitting in the seat, and it doesn't recline fully
- the wheels look scratched up within a few minutes of use - doesn't seem to affect function though
We LOVE ours! So easy. much more affordable than the Babyzen YoYo. Though there are some things that could be improved, it's a clear winner amongst other competitors on the market.

Light and compact – We love the mountain buggy nano. It has been a life saver when travelling due to it being light weight and compact. It even comes with a carry bag to check into airline luggage. Show details · 1
Awesome travel pram – What a fantastic travel pram ! I tested a few and the MB nano topped the list. Great recline and handling Folds up perfectly to fit in overhead locker of plane and super easy to open and close Loved that the basket has no bar in the center unlike other brand travel prams. A belly bar can be added to the pram which is a great option although it cannot fold up with it attached. Wish you could purchase a larger sun canopy Show details
Great light weight pram minus the hood – A good light weight pram. It is slightly flimsy as expected from a stroller. I guess I’m comparing it to our previous full size Baby Jogger pram. The only two things I would really fault though is 1. When the hood is up it covers the handle bars. Which annoyed me that my hands was constantly covered by it while pushing the pram (with the hood up)… Read more
and 2. the fact there there isn’t a “peek-a-boo” window in the hood for me to check on my little one. Otherwise a decent stroller maybe slightly expensive for what it is.
Negative reviews
Hard to fold / cheap looking – Pushes okay and has a nice small fram for fitting in shops/crowded spaces, but I find it incredibly hard to fold up. Takes me a good 5 minutes to fold up every time. It’s small and compact which was what I wanted but also incredibly cheap/flimsy looking for the $400 price tag. Purchased online after reading lots of reviews and I was very disappointed unfortunately. Show details
Hard to push and non existent warranty – Bought this pram in mid 2017, after 6 months of owning it and hardly using it as it was a second pram I took back to baby kingdom saying it was really hard to push they said that mountain buggy would advise it was normal and would not even lodge a repair or claim. I own two other prams and only bought this for a short trip I don’t feel it’s sturdy… Read more
and it’s so hard to push especially if walking for a while. I contacted mountain buggy to with no luck.
Broke after 18 months, no customer support – After being owned for 18 months (and used minimally in that time) the pram will no longer fold down, making it useless. The mechanism seems to have locked up. Mountain Buggy customer service has been totally unhelpful, initially telling me I just didn’t know how to fold the pram properly, then directing me to get it repaired at my own cost.… Read more
Astounded that I paid $320 for such a poor quality product, defective within 18 months, with no customer support. I would never buy a Mountain Buggy product again after this experience.

where has this been all my life – I bought the nano for my second child after only using a bugaboo buffalo for my first child and hating how bulky and heavy it was. All I can say is wow! Its so light, so easy to fold and unfold and putting it together initially was so simple to do! I think about my buffalo and shudder because this pram is a godsend! Show details
Compact, but a headache – I dread using this pram! I make my husband push it! It’s very compact, but we have great difficulty manoeuvring it. Impossible to steer. It’s like it gets “stuck” sometimes. I have checked we have the wheels on correctly, and we do. Maybe we just got a dud. Wish we paid the extra and got the yoyo. Do not recommend it. Show details
Overall Im happy – I bought this stroller because I wanted something light and easy to use. Its excellent in that regard. Extremely easy to use and very light. Its nice to push. However it does not lay back fully nor does it have many extras, I knew this when I bought it so Im happy with it. Show details
Space saving – Very light and space saving. I have mountain buggy urban jungle as well but I prefer to use this MB nano. Our boot got more space for other items and very easy to use. Show details

Vey light and compact – We brought this pram to travel with. I’m pleasently surprised at how durable it is and easy to you. Today I walked 4km with it and was easy to get over bumps etc. I’m still learning how to collapse it quickly. I’ve noticed when the seat is reclined back you really need to push it forward to collapse it. Apart from that I love it Show details
Can't live without it – We love our Mountain buggy nano. It's been on over 60 flights and withheld 2 years of constant use It has fantastic recline allowing our 2.5 year old to sleep in it still. The wheels are as good as you'd except for a small stroller. Without a doubt I know my son is comfortable and loves this pram as much as we do.
Very handy – We tossed up for a long time between this and the Babyzen Yoyo, which is about double the price. No regrets about our eventual decision - easy to use and fold and our 6 month old seems happy in it. Planning on taking it on a Cathay Pacific flight - the wheels can be taken off if we’re told it’s too big for the overhead conpartment.
Easy to use – Small when folded. Very easy to use. The wheels are durable. But one day the wheels start to make big noise and it’s on and off. I emailed customer service and they replied after some days. I then tried to put some oil in & sound disappeared. Very good to use in airport but wish it can be a little bit more lighter.
Very recommendable – The wheel should be smooth and push, convenient for later travel on the plane, put the trunk. , handle height design reasonable, no longer need to bend the waist cart. Five-point seat belt baby sitting at ease, push up really already feel very light, repossession, drive convenient, basic can one hand drive, repossession need both hands.
So compact :) – So I have 5 children and have been through multiple prams and strollers over the years. The Mountain Buggy Nano is by far the lightest, most compact and user friendly pram I’ve ever used!!! Very quick and easy to fold, beautiful to manoeuvre, easy to clean, folds so small it’s perfect for any size car and makes travelling a breeze as it is small enough to go in overhead compartments. Life is easy with a Nano :)
Great compact stroller – We bought this when traveling overseas with our toddler as it was within our airlines hand luggage allowance. Folds compact. Lightweight. Easy to steer, evennone handed. Reasonable under basket given the compact size. Seat lays back to allow day naps on the run. Generous shade cover. Front wheels lock for rough terrain. Secure harness strap which… Read more
locks in four places to wrangle wrigglers easier.
We love using this for quick errands or travel as it is much easier to transport than a full size stroller. Folding it can take some practice as you need to hold the clips in under the handles and it consatinas on itself :)
Best travel pram – This pram is so easy to use and so compact for travel. Fits in the overhead storage on a plane and carries a lot of weight. There are extra accessories too, a sun mesh and a rain cover. This has been so helpful to us on many occasions. I currently keep in my boot for quick trips to the shops. Cannot fault it.
Good for travel – Bought this for my grandson when we were going overseas. Take a while to get use to fold and unfold. There are much lighter ones and cheaper if you are going to Asia. Much more varieties over there. Do not buy online as it is better to physically have a look and try out the stroller.

Looks nice but Bad quality – I got this stroller home after using it once indoors the sunshade fell off when I collapsed it. It was either missing a screw or the screw fell out. It’s quite an expensive stroller it should not have happened. I like the fact that it’s reasonably light weight and I appreciate it’s not a big robust stroller you might take on rough terrain. I would not recommend it for travel or as a light weight stroller.
Great light pram. Perfect for travel – Very easy to fold (although you need both hand to be able to fold) Very light weigh Gtea for airport, shopping CONS: I would love to have a peekaboo window! Not being able to see if my son has fallen asleep or if he is making to much mess while eating and so on bothers me a lot Distance between handle and sun hood is very short!
Terrible flimsy pram and bad customer service – Do not buy this pram! Within a week of buying this- the screw had come off so it didn't fold properly- I was not fussed by this as I am quite low maintencce- so hubby found a suitable size replacement screw and we kept on. We used this pram a maximum of 3 times- we went to Hawaii, then Sydney and then Launceston. My every day pram is a valco… Read more
SNAP so this is only used for the convinience of plane travel.
It was with us every time and placed in overhead luggage and I was very careful over it.
Within just over six months of purchase and less than 3 weeks of actual use, the cheap styroform handle started to fleck and peel. It has almost peeled it off completely underneath.
And worse- the company refused to replace this as they claim it is my fault and wear and tear (which i find very unlikely- my every day pram does not have any issues at all).
I have been waiting for further response from them for over a week now and they have not responded- CLEARLY they don't care.
This pram retails for more than $400- and this is the treatment I received.
I do not recommend at all!
Compact stroller for the car – I first loved this stroller as it would glide through the shopping centre one handed but made the mistake of using it to walk to the park a couple of times which wore the wheels out so fast that they got stiff and the frame became loose. Great for the car and airport as its compact and fits in the overhead. Easy to fold and store. Although you… Read more
would probably need another proper stroller for actual travel outside the airport depending on the destination...ie. Italy is a mountain buggy nano no no!
Great value travel pram – Had this pram for just over a year and travelled with it overseas and interstate many times and have been allowed to bring it as carry-on every flight. It's compact, light, easy to fold and easy to manoeuvre. The sunshade touching the handle bars didn't bother us. The seat could do with a little more padding or needs a liner to make it more… Read more
comfortable and we wish it could go a little more upright as our son looks like he slouches when he's in it, so we tend to use another pram as our everyday pram. We don't regret our buy though as it's been great for our travels.
Great compact pram for travel or evryday use – We initially brought this for travel. It was just perfect, as expected we were able to take it onboard. Very useful on the long lay over. Very easy to push in the airport. On the road, it was obviously better in the malls and the foothpath than on grass. Quality was good enough for our purpose. Also use it every after the holiday. It's just lighter and easier to get it in and out of the car.
Second pram – I brought this for going around the shops, to leave in the car. Quality is alot poorer than I expected, the hood is missing a screw - apparently this is normal according to baby bunting. Easy to fold up and very light weight. Wouldn't recommend if you are doing alot of walking
Love this little stroller for travelling! – Great quality stroller and very light weight. We take it everywhere, especially travelling on holidays and to the shops. Its so compact and easy to store in the boot of the car. Could be easier to unfold and less clunky but that doesnt really bother us too much. Its easy to push and maneuver
Compact Fold but flimpsy pram – Bought this one for travelling but ended up selling it before travelling. Pram is flimsy and hard to push. Hood cover is minimum. Back rest is very short which makes my two years old constantly hitting her head on the hood. Easy to hold but very hard to push even on flat surface like inside shopping centre. Not worth the money
love this pram ! – we bought this as we have heard it was a light weight to carry on plane and easy to fold. It really is really easy to fold and very light. Love this pram, we took it oversea and have used it when we are out and about. It is not a cheap pram compare to the other one which you can get from Kmart or Target. However, it great if you are after… Read more
something light to take around on holidays . It comes in a few colour to choose from. Shop around and you should do a price match which Toy R US allow you to if you find somewhere cheaper:)
Great compact pram! – Bought this to travel to Melbourne for 2 week trip and was really fit for purpose. Easy to fold and unfold with very responsive and smooth feel. Could easily be used as my everyday pram and much smaller too! I chose the black colour but others are also stylish and look good!
Good for new mums – After a lot of review reading I purchased this for my bubs and don't regret it! It works great on all terrains and is very easy to maneuver and use. I find that the quality of this pram to be great and using it has been a breeze so far.
Good stroller. Light and easy to use – We bought it for traveling and already used it at the airport. The wheels are flexible and it’s easy to fold. Though the seat is a little big for my baby(she’s ten years old), she is happy when she is in it. It can be put into a bag after folding and brought aboard the aircraft which is very convenient.
