Mutsy Urban Rider

I have loved a mutsy urban rider with a safe-to-go car seat and I loved it with single seat unit, but I have to say that using a duo seat its difficult. My DS is 17mths and my DD is 4mths and she is getting stuck when putting her in or taking out becouse there is no room to operate. Her head is touching a hood and she is very uncomfy. Its bulky when whet set up as duo. I'm looking at selling all set asap.

I love our Mutsy. LO is now 4 1/2 moonths and loves the seat unit. We did buy a carrycot but hardly used it as the lie-flat car seat was perfect when she was small (so don't waste your money buying one). It's a nightmare when shopping, though people tend to shift out of your way when they see you coming towards them. (Think 'king of the road'). The shopping basket is the pram's biggest let-down. There is one you can buy to fit which is loads bigger - but the only seller I found is in Germany!

Looks great, fab off road and easy to push however a total nightmare in shops and if you get a puncture when you're out! It doesn't fold up too well, don't even consider it if you drive anything smaller than a 4 door saloon with a large boot. Quite expensive but very good quality.

Quality is medium to high. I felt it was style motivated rather than solid/effective. The carrycot attachment seemed to tilt badly when the chassis was a few years old. Also the pram was very shallow, I didn't use it more than twice as I thought baby would actually fall out going over bumps/kerbs. The seat is better though, even if it doesn't lie flat enough for small babies - I'd say 6 months - and doesn't fold when facing the parent. The lining fabrics are soft if prone to bobbling, the style did nothing for me except I loved the leather handle. This slips down every time I use it though! Basket is no use really, though it holds more than you'd think having no sides! Steeriong is fantastic, I love it - you have to steer in advance though as it's rear wheel. So wide berth round corners. Very comfy and solid I think. Basically style won over practicality, but comfort wasn't lost in the middle of all that. I would never buy a full price one. Oh and the covers stained very easily with felt pen! I would not want to try and get this in a car.

Mums loved the Mutsy - "the ultimate head turner from Holland" - for it's "top of the range" looks, comfort and manoeuvrability. "It's superb off road" and "the air tyres bounce up and down kerbs easily and without jostling the baby". It's big so "can be a bit difficult in small shops" and heavy: "I wouldn't recommend for public transport". Plus "the shopping basket isn't very deep". But "if you don't use the bus or have stairs to negotiate and have a large boot then "buy this, you won't be disappointed".
