Pushchairs
Mountain Buggy (Duo I think) and car seats

Hi I am very lucky to be inheriting a mountain buggy duo at a bargain price for my twins due in October. I'd really like to put car seats on it as I did with my first baby (he was walked out in his car seat a lot for the first few month as I think it made him feel more secure and screamed blue murder at being expected to lie flat in the carrycot attachment. I didn't leave him in it for long periods but it really helped me get out of the house). Does anyone know of a bracket suitable for this purpose? I've seen one for the MB Duet to fit Maxi Cosi car seats but have heard it doesn't fit properly on a Duo.
Of course maybe the twins will be different and perfectly happy in the carrycots in which case it won't be an issue but would like to have the option just the same,
Thanks.

I believe the Duo car seat brackets are being redesigned. They were the same as the Duet ones but there were safety issues and I think a safety strap was issued upon request. I would hope by October it should be designed, but you could drop Mountain Buggy a line and ask. Just bear in mind that the old Duo (Duet) adaptor only takes up to 9kgs of aby which won't be until the end of the lifespan of the pushchair although to be honest you will probably want the seat fabric back on by 6 months anyway.

Thanks Tiggy, I'll do that. Yes really its just the first few months I'm bothered about.
