Mountain Buggy, or not?

[kdinas]

Ok, In my quiest to find a double buggy, I have decided it is best to bite the bullet and part with a large amount of cash.
I walk alot and hate public transport, is very unreliable where I live, and when you do finally get on the bus driver nearly always asks you to fold the buggy, so best avoided.
So I need a buggy that I can walk everywhere in, and hopefully fit through doors without too much trouble.
Shall I get the mountain buggy urban?
I don't do any off-roading, and the most challenging place I shall take it is the local park!
But I need a strong buggy, that my children will be comfortable in and both will be able to sleep in and is easy to manouvre(sorry about spelling!).
At 73 inches wide, this sounds fantastic, and I have never heard of a bad thing about this buggy.
Any opinions please.
I have done a search.
Lots of good info.
Have been given go ahead by dh.
So how does it fare for city living and travelling into London.

Is there a reason why you've chosen it over phil and teds? Id rather have a side by side in the ideal world, but the p&t is so good for getting in doors etc, the seating is not so bad, and its as easy to steer as a mountain buggy.

The reason I have chosen it over the phil and ted's, is that both seats recline.
Also I do need a basket, and the mountain b urban has one.
I am getting very excited at the prospect of a mb.

Only have a single MB but I still love mine!

ok, I am losing it, I spen all my time on the net, looking at mountian buggies. I am trying to talk myself out of one, not managing to so far.
Even the price doesn't put me off. With first ds I went through 5 pushchairs in first 2 years, all around 100 pounds each. So I have had enuogh of cheap buggies.
Been through two maclarens with ds2.
Now I need a double, and I am buying a mountain buggy, unless anyone can think of a reason not to.
Anyone?
Please?

Get one

They are the cream of the crop, v well made, v sturdy, v manoeuvrable, and hold their value really well.

Wish I'd bought a mountain buggy single when DD was born, still considering selling existing pushchair and buying one for 2nd baby...

If I HAD to buy a double I'd get a MB. If I only needed a double for a few months (due to greater age gap) I'd get a Phil & Teds E3.

So just get one

No help on the doubles front, I'm afraid, but there are lots of double mb's on ebay from week to week so not quite an outlay? Go on, buy one, you know you want to (I've just ordered a single, waiting for it to arrive can't wait!). Have you searched archives for threads on double buggies?

Another double buggy dilema! Have one 14month and am expecting next arrival in March. Think I can manage with our fab Mountain Buggy for first few months while carrying little one in sling. But when back gives out, number one will be 2 years old... what then? Is a double buggy necessary, or could we manage with buggy board/seat? If double buggy - which one?

And loving it.....pah, bugaboos!
