Cons
We purchased the Urban Jungle Luxury pram 3 years ago. We were satisfied with its performance except that the bumper bar came off way too easily (our 2 year old would easily pull it off and one day pulled it off and threw it on train tracks).
Anyway, unfortunately due to the constant rainfall in Sydney and flooding, our pram, which was in the garage, grew mould all over it.
We contacted customer service to enquire about how we can go about purchasing all the fabric accessories...their answer was that the pram is discontinued and we can no long...
When I emailed for a solution for stitching that had given up in first 7 months of 3 year warranty. I was told it was not covered and insulted with a $15 online voucher as "show of good faith". After I reminded them of their Consumer Guarantee Act responsibilities they immediately did full 180 and replaced the part.
Super sad that they clearly have a policy to deny a claim until they come across someone that knows they are breaking the law and calls them out.

Bought this from Mountain buggy direct. The instructions are terrible. We have no idea how to put this from cot back to rear facing. We can do the black inline slim part but can't out the grey softer layer in or end up with 2 sets of seatbelts. Instructions are useless. The photographer has no idea how to take photos and there is more shade on the photos in the key parts so you have no idea which way up things are. Next time don't photograph a black pram. Try red with black straps.

Over than being a bit bulky, the pram is lovely, very maneuverable and glides well. We use it for running and also an every day pram. One of the tyres has been bulging for quite a while and I decided to make a warrantly claim. After several attempts, the manufacturer refuses to replace the faulty tyre as it is exposed to the elements. Unusual for an all terrain pram with a supposed 3 year warranty.
Purchased in December 2019 at Baby Bunting for $900.

Bought this pram as a three wheel option, using for second child and everything has fallen apart. So many issues, where to begin! Shade doesn’t cover face of child. We got a new bassinet/parent facing attachement For #2 baby this year; but the company clearly didn’t road test it properly. The parent facing cuts into the crock because they have skimped on putting a crouch pad on. The pram itself is HEAVY, too much to lift in and out of the car; 15++ kg. If you have another child, they don’t do a stand up board to clip on, but only their own sco...
Read moreoter board attachment. The brake has just given way and only locks on one side now, it’s become unsafe and we have now forced to purchase something else. We contacted mountain buggy several times, supply with accessories that did not help the crouch pad situation and has to wait weeks for assistance. A shame, and it was once a great brand. :(Purchased in January 2016 for $800.

I bought this pram as recommended by my sister with a now 6 year old who loved hers.
I like how easy it is to fold, fit in a small car and steering. The wheels don’t puncture like older/other models which is great but it is quite a bulky pram.
I am really disappointed in the small shade hood! I didn’t shop around much before but now friends with redsbaby and bugaboos all have air vents in the bassinet and big seat hoods, and can pull the hood down to shelter their babies from the sun. I am constantly having to have a wrap on top of the pram ...
Read moreto provide shade and so my baby isn’t blinded by the sun! The sides alone should be covered close to the baby’s head and also have options to keep pulling the hood lower. I would not buy again unless there were other hoods you can replace it with. Also, don't love the mechanism to lower and raise the seat as it’s quite hard to do it quick and get it even! My baby is constantly falling one way or the other when upright as the seat is lopsided!Purchased in September 2019 at Babyography.

Love this pram, 3rd baby and I was ready for a practical pram more so than those "showy prams" like I had previosuly had. This pram still looks stylish but has so many added benefits like the good size storage with zip pockets (storage basket fits 10kg = couple bags of shopping) Terrain air wheels make it easy on uneven paths, big seat so the baby can grow into it (birth to 3 or 4 year old fits comfortably). 1 hand fold and you don't need to take the pram apart to fold it. Also comes with attached bottle holder near the parent handle which is handy. Wish I had purchased this sooner! ... only downfall is that I don't like the feel of the parent handle it's abit plastic-y but overall it's a good quality pram that can adapt to growing baby.
Purchased in February 2020 at Mountain buggy for $799.

I purchased this pram after the original pram I got for my son turned out to be woeful. My main requirement was something that could handle slightly rougher terrain (gravel, sand, cracked pavement) without giving my son a headache from the constant jolting! So far I have only used it with capsule adaptors (for MaxiCosi capsule - an extra $79 but well worth it) as he is only 10 weeks old, but the ride is super smooth, pram is easy to maneuver with one hand, folds up and down easily, has a decent sized basket and even came with a drink holder and...
Read more nappy bag. Only criticism would be that it would be quite easy to tip with the capsule attached as it sits very high. Once bub is in the seat I don't anticipate this being an issue. Highly reccomend. Was actually cheaper than the terrible pram I stupidly purchased originally! Great value for money.Purchased in April 2019 at Babyland for $699.

I love this pram for running, it's very smooth. However I would love if it could take 2 kids. That bassinet never seemed to attach properly. Capsule was great. Full sized seat had some excellent features like laying down flat. Just quite a big pram. I'd get something more compact

Steers beautifully and suspension is great. Handles different surfaces with ease. Basket storage is reasonable but not the biggest and an awkward shape. Bassinet is average. Parent facing seat is very poor, if this is important to you I would recommend choosing a different pram. The stroller seat is also average. It’s lopsided and the straps are useless at best. The sunshade is also poor-doesn’t stay up properly and even when it is up coverage is minimal. Easy to fold but heavy and bulky

Bought the mountain buggy in 2012 for the first child. The only additional attachment we took was the rain cover. and carried the all three children in it from the time they were born.
Over that time it's been the only pram and has been used in a variety of terrains including the typical walking tracks with gravel but a fairly smooth track through to some quite rough tracks with lots of rocks and steps that the pram needed to be pushed over. Its also been through some snow.
All in all the pram has survived. The whole time the adjustabl...
Read moree part of the handle bars felt kind of flimsy but did not break even with a substantial amount of force applied (Rocky surfaces). The tyres and tubes had to be replaced about 3 times. They just wore out the tyres are not quite as long lasting as say bike tyres, replacement was easy enough though. One of the wheels bearings wore out after 5 years probably due to mud getting in, but for $20 including delivery we could order replacement bearings for all 3 wheels from mountain buggy. The main complaint is that some of the buttons that hold the seat to the frame kept popping open as the kids got bigger. I could just order the replacement section but I suspect it will last long enough that i'll no longer need a pram- 7 reviews
I love our Mountains Buggy Urban Jungle! We decid d to go with a pram that had 3 wheels, and we had also heard that this model of pram is great for running with also! It’s sturdy and is competent in going off road also. My only critique is that the bassinet (purchased separately) for this pram is bulky and somewhat poor quality compared to others that I have seen. The bassinet is difficult to disassemble as you have to remove the bassinet prior to folding up the pram, and takes up a lot of room in the car as a result of this.

I purchased this pram when my first child was a toddler. We are now using it with our second child and cannot fault it.
I really wanted a pram that was able to go off-road with ease. We had 2 prams prior and both were not able to be used on gravel, and over grass were quite awkward to manoeuvre.
If you are looking for a pram that is smooth, easy to manoeuvre on all terrain, big and comfortable for your child, has a large basket then this is the right one for you!
I ended up getting the bassinet free through the Mountain Buggy website (pu...
Read morerchased an existing model) and it came in handy when our second baby came along. We have only had to replace one of the inner tyres once, due to a catheat. Otherwise the pram is so sturdy and has lasted well. We use it for regular walks, holidays and shopping. Highly recommend!- 4 reviews
I loved the 3 wheels after pushing my friends pram 4 wheeler around (steel craft). It is easy to steer and very manoeuvrable. The air filled tyres make it very comfortable for baby and it also has shock absorbers to reduce the bounce on rough surfaces. So far this pram is used twice daily for nearly 7 months, it’s spent many hours at the beach, camping, rain forest walks in the back of my husbands ute and it is still in perfect condition.
The only negative I have is it was a little bit unbalanced while we were using it with the capsule (maxi cosi) so you had to make sure you balanced it really carefully off the gutter or through a pot hole etc.

Extremely easy to manoeuvre and with great suspension, guaranteeing a smooth ride for Bub. We have had this since August 2017 and purchased brand new in the black colour. We also purchased the Maxi Cosi capsule adaptors to go with it. Has been a very handy pram given the capsule clips straight in with bub facing you. We aren't looking forward to putting the pram seat back in and having bub face the other way where we cannot see him, but I'm sure he will enjoy looking out and seeing everything going on around him. It came with an insulated ...
Read moredrink holder that straps to the frame. The fold up is easy, even with only one hand, its all in one piece, not a jigsaw to put together. Its great that it locks together once folded so that its not trying to open back up at you when you are putting back in the car. It is also very easy to open. There are two main things I love about this pram, the fact that the wheels are good wheels, not plastic and noisy, and the fact that the brake is in the handle. It takes a lot to get used to, but so handy and stops your feet from hitting the rear brake in other prams.Questions & Answers
Has anyone used a maxi cosi city capsule with the mountain buggy urban? I can see maxi cosi micro but unsure if the city has the same attachements
I’m looking at this pram Mountain Buggy Urban 3 and wanting to know how easy it to push with one hand ? I have big dogs and wanting to walk them while pushing the pram. My current pram phill and Teds 4 wheels is horrible to push with one hand. Also is this pram heavy to lift in and out of the car? Thanks
I have the Urban Jungle and walk 5km every day with my 35kg husky. It is the perfect 1 handed pram, so easy to steer!
It is however a heavier pram to load in and out of the car, but I'm still managing it at 6 months pregnant.
I noticed there's a zipper on the hood of my UJ. What is it idee for?

What reviewers thought
This pram is very practical since it has storage pockets, a bottle holder and a sun canopy. The terrain air wheels make it easy to navigate even on uneven paths. It is very easy to open and close.
Some reviewers have noted that the pram is quite large which makes it unsuitable for use in a shop. Others have had problems with the durability of the breaks - but were able to get them sorted out under the warranty.
