mountain buggy swift reviews anyone?

[MrsC09]

Sorry if this has already been covered but really struggling with pram choice! I was completely convinced on the Mountain Buggy Urban but having re-looked at it yesterday think it's way too big for planned usage as I live in london and although I'm planning many walks in the park the Urban just seems too big to fit in shops etc.

I can't seem to find many reviews on the Swift model so was wondering if anyone can share their experiences? Also does anyone know if there is a significant difference between 2009 & 2010 models as there are some good prices out there on the 2009 ones?

Only just spotted your question ... We have the MB Urban because when we bought it, the Swift did not come with a carrycot option for a newborn (but the Urban did). I live in London and I have to say I do find the Urban big - it is too wide to get through some doors and it takes up a lot of space in our Victorian terrace hall. I absolutely love it and it's very easy to manoeuvre, bump up steps, go over any surface, but I do wish it was smaller. We have to take the wheels off to get it easily into the boot of the car (an estate!). Am considering whether to swap for a Swift or possibly a Baby Jogger City Elite - which can be folded one handed and a friend loves hers

Main difference between old and brand new MBs is that the business went bust and was bought by Phil and Ted's. I read somewhere that this has meant MBs are now made in China, not NZ. Not seen any comment on whether that makes any difference though.

I am also considering the MB
I haven't managed to see the swift carrycot in RL yet but otherwise it looks ok
