Product Description
This is my third double stroller and my absolute favorite. I wanted a double that was easy to push and could take lots of abuse since we are city dwellers and use our strollers on a daily basis.
I love that it is a very well built stroller that is rugged and stylish. Its 4 wheels afford it incredible stability, maneuvering and steering. It is quite narrow and nimble for a double. The seats are nicely padded and the basket is really large. There is a lot of clearance in between the basket and the seats so it is very accessible. The stroller holds up to 110 pounds and is recommended for children up to 5 years so this stroller will last. The quality is top-notch. The new Duo has huge canopies with a sun visor which can be tucked in or fully extended. The Duo can also be used with a single carrycot and a seat, a double carrycot or a car seat adapter and one seat. The Duo will ride over anything – snow, grass, mud, sand. It is a true all terrain stroller. It has a metal footrest which I prefer to fabric footrests in other strollers (like the Bobs). The stroller will not list to the side of the heavier child and you can steer it one-handed!
I wish it had a bit more headroom for taller kids and an adjustable footrest, but it is as close to perfect as a double can be. The harness is not as user friendly as it could be, but that is a minor issue that I will gladly deal with in order to have this incredibly solid yet narrow and easy to push double.
It is pricey but well worth the money.

I have researched double strollers for a while and 2010 Mountain Buggy Duo seems to be the winner on the US market (I liked some European brands that offer a possibility to switch seats position facing the parent or facing the street, but I was not ready to pay for the shipping from Europe). I liked everything about it and if I had hesitations re 2009 model, even considered EasyWalker duo, which is the next best thing, once they made the changes to 2010 model, I rushed to buy this stroller. So far I didn’t discover any cons, only pros:
1) easy to assemble
2) easy to maneuver, front wheels can be locked
3) 2 separate seat canopies
4) works ideally for our family with one newborn, who is in the bassinet and for a 1.6 month old sibling
5) seems to have very strong base (sometimes our 3rd child, 3 y.o takes a short ride in addition to 2 little babies already in the stroller)
6) chili dot color looks sooooo cool: just bright enough to please the eye, not obnoxiously red
7) the storage space is plentiful
All I can say is I LOVE IT!
