Our Review of the Mountain Buggy Urban Single 2007 stroller
The excellent Mountain Buggy Urban Stroller is one of the most popular swivel wheel strollers, and one of the original "Urban" strollers to combine a light aluminum frame with 12" air-filled tires. Compared to a flimsy umbrella stroller, the smooth push and shock absorption offered by a Mountain Buggy Urban Single or Urban Double stroller is no comparison at all. It is simply amazing how much smoother the ride is on 12" air filled tires when contrasted with cheapo plastic wheels, and Mountain Buggy strollers pioneered their popularity.
While a bona fide running stroller requires 16" or 20" fixed wheels, the maneuverable Mountain Buggy Urban series is multifaceted: it's an all-terrain walker, an urban shopper, and all-around go-getter that will handle the occasional jog. The front swivel wheel is great for maneuvering in a tight squeeze (a frequent occurrence while shopping or venturing through city streets), and the front swivel wheel locks straight for those light jogs and short sprints.
- The tires of all Mountain Buggy Strollers are made from Recycled Materials
Bottom Line: There is no denying that the sticker price for a Mountain Buggy is high. Imported from their point of production in New Zealand, all Mountain Buggy strollers feature a remarkable attention to detail, and their quality is hard to beat. While these details do not necessarily come through in an image, a side-by-side comparison between a Mountain Buggy and other, lower-priced strollers is a sure shot. The fabrics, frame, and features offered with Mountain Buggy strollers like the Urban Single affirm these strollers' excellent reputation.
A unique feature to the whole Mountain Buggy stroller line is the Carry Cot accessory. The Mountain Buggy Carry Cot transforms your Mountain Buggy stroller into a traditional 'pram'. Be sure to check out all the unique accessories available from Mountain Buggy.

LOVE this stroller...now need a double
Reviewer: Anonymous , Ann Arbor/Detroit, MI
Date: April 06, 2008
My 20-mo-old daughter is happy as a clam in this stroller. I love it because I can easily pull it out of the trunk and pop it open with her in my arms. I can also push it on grass with one hand because the ride is so smooth.
It's also perfect for casual shopping - relatively short wheel base and tight turning radius makes it more practical than I'd expected.

Great Stroller!

This stroller is great. I put it together myself very quickly (we also got the handlebar attachment, storm cover, and car seat attachment). It is a smooth ride and easy to maneuver and pack up and unpack. Well worth the money! I highly recommend it to everyone.

Would buy it again
Reviewer: Stacey , Irvine, CA

This is the only stroller we have. I use it daily and it corners like a BMW with the sturdiness of a Tahoe. Even though I use it daily, and run on a dirt trail, the stroller still looks great. The back wheels are a little wide for indoor aisles and the sun shade could be a little longer. Other than that, this has been one of our best baby items. It fits fine in my trunk.

Love It!
Reviewer: Amy , Locust Grove, VA

My daughter is 10 months old now, and this is the only stroller we have ever used. While it was pricey, it was worth every penny! Nearly every week, my husband and I still discuss how awesome of a purchase our stroller was! We put 15-25 miles of mostly street walking and running on it every week. The swivel wheel makes trips to the store easy and the locked wheel means I can jog with the stroller in one hand and hold my dog's leash in the other. It's very comfortable for my daughter who often falls asleep in it. We purchased the sun cover which I also like. It keeps the sun off her face, but still allows her a pretty good view and a breeze. It folds easily and fit easily into the truck of my Corolla. I also love the recline mechanism because it is so simple and my daughter can lay almost completely flat! I thought I would wish I had a hand brake, but it never bothers me that this one doesn't have one! The tires glide so easily over all terrain... I couldn't be happier. My husband broke one of the quick release gadgets from the wheels, and customer service was awesome and prompt.
Love my Mountain Buggy Urban, and when I have a second child I will be in the market for a 2-seater!

16 months of use, terrific stroller
Reviewer: Anonymous , Atlanta, GA
Date: September 24, 2007
We bought this stroller when I was 7 months pregnant because my husband wanted one in his football teams color and I wanted one that had full recline, a locking/swivel wheel, and was sturdy for bumpy streets. In the last 16 months, I have put over 1000 miles on this stoller, including training to walk a half marathon (DD was the youngest finisher, at 8 months!), frequent trips to the mountians for hiking, and walking many places we go, usually at least 2 miles a day in errands and to the park, at least a couple times a week we will walk the 6 miles round trip to the library.
My daughter loves this stroller. We also have the Maclaren and the Chariot, both great strollers, but this one wins hands down for ease of pushing and stearing, roominess for my 16 month old to wiggle and play, and sturdiness. She literally walks over to it and cries until I put her in it and take her for a walk. I have not had a single problem and the only things I have had to do is pump up the tires and put some silicone lubricant on the tires occasionally.
I do recommend that you get the bar if you are going to be out and about for a long time. My daughter really likes that to hold onto when she wants to sit more upright when it is bumpy. We also have the optional sunshade, which we use primarily when my daughter naps to keep mosquitos off of her. The stroller is no wider than the Bob Revolution (The Bob does have a better sun cover, but does not recline fully, something we really need for my daughter to nap when we are out). We have the optional lock for when we have to go in small stores or resturants, but I have not found that it takes up anymore of a footprint than the Graco travel systems.
Though I bought a Maclaren to use in the car and when out shopping, I now use the MBUS because my daughter will stay in it about 3X as long as the smaller stollers. It is suprisingly easy to get in and out of the car.
If I could only have one stroller, this would be it.

Mountain Buggy Urban Single
Reviewer: Anonymous , New York, NY
Date: September 17, 2007
I got this stroller last year because of rave reviews from some friends. There are pros and cons to this stroller (like any other stroller). Pros: you can steer with one hand, it is smooth, the seat is straight and supportive, large storage, lots of pockets, nice looks. Cons: it is very wide and difficult to fit through doorways, the sun cover is limited. I live in NYC so getting through doors and navigating tight spaces is a must, but I find myself using my umbrella stroller more often now and I only use the MBUS for jogging. And as a jogger, there are better options. And as a hybrid, I think there are some other better options and I am considering the BOB instead.

Quality complaint
Reviewer: Carmen , Vancouver, BC
Date: September 16, 2007
I purchased the MUBS 2005 model when it was on sale from this site. I have been using the stroller for about 5 months. The clips that support the backrest have broken and the clip that supports the bottom of the seat has broken. I have two friends that own the same model and both of their strollers have broken clips. My child is large for a one year old but still at 27 pounds is well within the recomended weight limit for the stroller. I was also disapointed with the fabric which appeared faded right out of the box and the peices do not match. It looks like the stroller was made from several different dye lots of fabric. Apart from these concerns I do love the stroller. It handles beautifully. It is very easy to push and turn and I love it for outdoor use. I don't take it shopping because it is just too wide.

I purchase this stroller for one reason only. Not made in China and the reliability. This stroller when you push it feels very light.

Great Multiuse Stroller
Reviewer: Anonymous , San Rafael, CA
Date: August 31, 2007
I've used the 2005 model for my daughter since birth (with car seat adapter, then regular seat). This was our only stroller for the first year, and it has been great. Things I love: removable seat, easy to maneuver, great for city/trail/jogging/all over. One "gotcha," my tires pop easily on thorny trails (duh). I did purchase a supplemental sunshade to help with coverage. Fully recommend this stroller. Love it!
