don't know what a vibe is (didn't have them in my day !) - but we had the double mountain buggy - old style before they introduced the urban alternative - and it was really great for off road - and ok round town too - did fit through normal shop doors.

think the vibe is more intended for city streets iykwim. As far as I know mountain buggy is a fab off road.

MB every time, its fab, feels so easy to push even with two toddlers in
fantastic off road too

Don't know what a vibe is, and never had a double mountain buggy (just a single). But, here is my opinion anyway....

I loved the way the Mountain Buggy 'drove', but didn't like the 'single bar' handle as you couldn't hang shopping bags off it (and there is little storage in the basket underneath). Also, Mountain Buggy is very heavy, so hard to manage whenever I had to lift it. I was much happier with a Maclaren for being out&about town.

The newer Mt Buggies (with adjustable handles) have huge underseat storage bags, I can fit eg 3 carrier bags full of food in my single one. And it's fab offroad

was gonna mail you my answer, but will say quickly here instead. Only ever had a single MB, but it was fantastic and if I had an excuse to buy a double now I would. Towards the end of my p and t days I found that with just dd1 in it (who is rather hefty as you know)it became quite difficult to steer, especially over uneven terrain. Used to put both ds and dd1 in the single MB and it was still a doddle to push. Am reminscing now about how lovely it was.

Is that helpful? Vibe does look very lovely though. Can't see where the toddler seat would attach to the top?

I have a double mountain buggy and it's fab.
even with a 3 yr old in one side it's SO light and easy to push.
it's an ancient terrain

Or, what about the double nipper 360? Had a single of those and even without the swivel it was fab. Just confusing you now aren't I?
