Hit the streets and have some fun with your little ones riding in a Mountain Buggy built for two - the Mountain Buggy Urban Double Stroller. At 29" wide, the Urban Double fits through standard doorways, and with added features like a water bottler holder, newborn accommodating harness, a deep recline, and flat fold, the Mountain Buggy Urban Double gives parents more features than ever before.
Standout Features:
- Super easy pushing. Push Urban Double with one finger - it's true, we tried!
- 29" wide - fits through standard doorways
- Water bottle holder
- Newborn-accommodating harness
- Near-flat recline
- Extra flat fold
Benefits for You: From coffee shops to the mall to the trail, the 12" air-filled tires and front swivel wheels glide forward with ease. Push the Urban Double with hardly any effort. The lightweight aluminum frame folds in two easy steps and collapses flat for compact storage.
Benefits for Baby: Reclining more deeply than the original Mountain Buggy Strollers, the seat accommodate infants and post-lunch nappers alike. The sunhood shades baby on bright days. Add the Storm Cover to block wind and rain.
Mountain Buggy follows global safety standards for an extra secure ride. Some features include:
- Locks that meet European safety standards
- A 2-step fold that prevents the stroller from unexpectedly folding
- A 5-point harness that adjusts small enough for a newborn
Compatibility: With the purchase of a Car Seat Adapter for Graco or Peg Perego, your Urban Double accepts a single Graco Snugride, Graco Safeseat (Step 1), or Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP infant car seat.
Bottom Line: With so many new features, the Mountain Buggy Urban Double means strolling that's easier than ever before. Add the Double or Twin Bassinet for the look of a traditional pram. For a Mountain Buggy with a few extra features, consider the Mountain Buggy Urban Elite Double Stroller, which includes a diaper bag and extra seat liners.

After months of researching strollers we finally decided on the Mountain Buggy Urban Double for our twin boys. They are currently 3 months old and we just got the stroller a week ago. We are using it everywhere, and loving it!!! We have a double Snap'n'Go that we had been using prior to getting the MBUD, and we still continue using that for quick errands.
It is fall and we have been going to the mountains and walking on trails, and this stroller has been wonderful on those trips as well as for walking through our neighborhood.
This has the smoothest ride and great turning radius. This stroller is easily maneuvered with one hand. It is like driving a "Cadillac"!!!Yes, it is bulky, but very easy to fold. Unfortunately, when you have twins or two young children, the all-terrain/jogging double stroller needed will be large and the bulk was expected.
I put as much effort into researching a stroller before purchase as I have a car, and am glad I did. This stroller is worth every penny to me!

After a ton of research I purchased my mountain buggy about 3 years ago and it has been worth every penny! We joke that is was like making a car payment, but I have never regretted it! We have used it everywhere (dirt roads, country hillsides & fields, the barn, the beach, mall, you name it, we've been there). It strolls like a dream - even one handed, walking up a hill, while talking on the phone! I have fit through every doorway - even bathrooms - by myself without a problem. Bystanders are amazed! I do take good care of my things, so it doesn't show a lot of wear and tear, but believe me, we have used this stroller to death! The only part showing wear is the fabric around 2 of the snaps! It has been washed with a scrub brush, dish soap, and the garden hose many times and left out in the sun to dry - works great! My 3 year old (30lbs) and 6 year old (40lbs) go everywhere in it. They can climb in and out and it has never tipped. They have even stood up in it and been fine! They have taken many naps in it and are very comfy. It is a tad heavy - but what double jogging stroller isn't? I have never had a problem with tires, sun shade, fading, or adjusting the straps. We are about to have child #3 and wouldn't even think of getting anything else!

Nice but missing a key feature
Reviewer: Ryan , Bellingham, WA
Date: August 25, 2009
First off I want to say that for the most part it is a really nice stroller. The shocks in the back are nice, the constructions seems very good. After using it for the first time we realized that it really lacked what we needed in a stroller. After having one with brakes previously we took it for granted that this one would have them as well and it does not. We live on a hill so now every time we go walking I have to reign it in while going down hill. It is also a bit smaller than the one we had previously. We were looking for something with enough volume for our 3 and 5 year old, it works but not for long. On a good note it does fold nicely for its size fits in the trunk of an AudiA8, rolls very nicely, looks good, has great storage, and steers tremendously. For the price brakes should be on this unit, or at least an upgrade option.

The best of the best
Reviewer: Anonymous , Atlanta, Ga

This is my second Mountain buggy, I had the single for my first child. I then bought a Phil and Ted and a Chariot Cougar 2. Thinking that those two strollers together would do everything that I needed. I had some pretty serious quality issues with the P&T. They were resolved, but the stroller still didn't push easily with one hand, which is my litmus test for a stroller. I came to realize that I would never be able to push the P&T more than a mile or two with both kids. The Chariot is great and easy to push with 2 kids, but is not great with small babies, even with the infant sling, my son was never happy in it. I was thrilled to get my mountain buggy. It is everything I could want in a stroller, easy to push being at the top of my list! The storage is good, the ride is comfortable for both kids (especially for my baby son who loves the carry cot). I use the cot around the house as much as in the stroller. My daughter loves it, just as she adored the single and seems about the same from a comfort perspective. It is a beast to get in and out of the car, but no more difficult than the P&T, it actually takes less time. If you only go to the mall, this stroller is probably overkill, but if you like to get out and about in the city, have long days where your kids need a comfortable rest spot, or enjoy nature this is the best of the best.

Good- But Could Be Better
Reviewer: Trudy , Sarasota, FL
Date: April 26, 2009
I was so excited to get this "Cadillac" of double strollers. At first, it was awesome. But when I went to adjust the straps for my taller son, I couldn't get the buckle through the slot. The slots are so tight, it won't go through. I had my husband and friend try-- no one could get it to go through. So now the straps are useless until we can get them threaded back through the slots. I tore up my hand trying to reach up the back of the stroller (which you have to do from the bottom- you can't do it from the top, crazy!)- and still couldn't get it to work. So now I've paid $$$ for a double stroller but can only use one side (until I have to adjust the straps on that side, too!) unless I'm on flat terrain going slowly and don't need to buckle my 3 year old in. I'm going to call the company tomorrow to see if I have any luck figuring out this problem. I've already used the stroller, so it's non-returnable at this point. I would probably NOT purchase this stroller again. I hope I'm just doing something wrong, but I've followed the directions pretty well. The second issue I've had is folding it. At first it worked great- but last night it took both my husband and I a few tries to get it folded- it just wasn't working for some reason. And the sunshade will NOT stay up- it drives me nuts. If there's any wind at all, it flips back and then the sun gets in my baby girl's eyes and she cries. OTHER than these issues- it turns great and is relatively easy to push/ maneuver. Especially for the weight load. I love the fact that it holds up to 110 lbs- more than most. So there is some good- but these other "flaws" have prevented me from giving it 5 stars. In fact, my husband last night called it a "Piece of Junk". He was frustrated trying to get it to fold and can be a little dramatic- (I certainly wouldn't go that far)...I'll see what the company says when I call them tomorrow-- hopefully they'll be of some help.

Great Stroller
Reviewer: J Shaw , Olathe, KS
Date: April 24, 2009
When we found out we were having twins I did a lot of research on strollers. I finally decided on the Mountain Buggy Urban Double. I love how easy it is to maneuver. You really can push it with one hand. Everyone that has pushed my buggy has been impressed. One of the drawbacks is indeed the weight of the stroller. It is fairly heavy compared to others on the market. Another problem I have found is the tires. Within 2 weeks, I had to have the tire tubes and the stems replaced on all 4 tires. The bike store I took it to said that the stems were not in all the way and that the tubes were very cheap and flimsy. I expected a quality product (including tires) for this type of money. Once the tire tubes and stems were replaced we haven't had any more problems. Overall, the stroller is great. Would I purchase another one? Probably not, but I cannot deny that the Mountain Buggy is a quality product.

Mountain Buggy Urban Double Stroller

I love everything about this stroller, except its lack of ease in folding and storing. I love it until I have to fold it and lift it into my trunk. It washes easily. I wish there were more accessories. The tires seem to deflate often.

No excuses!

After destroying 2 all terrain joggers, we wish we had considered the Mountain Buggy Urban Double earlier...it is lightweight for traveling, robust for jogging & walking and the simplistic features make maintenance a breeze! Would recommend to anyone who especially loves the outdoors with young children, whatever weather!

mountain buggy double urban elite
Reviewer: Anonymous , pigeon forge, tn
Date: May 19, 2008
I just purchased this and am thrilled to no end! The structure and ease to move this is unbelieveable. I spent weeks looking for the right side by side stroller that could do everything and I am so happy that I decided to splurge on this. You have to be he-woman (or man) to lift in and out of a vehicle, but it is well worth it ( I consider it an arm workout anyway!) I just wish some of the accessories came with it for its price. I would def recommend the elite model bc the inserts themselves cost 70 to 80 bucks separately. They wash very nice, and my boys always have a clean spot to sit and ride. I have tried the rain cover and it is well ventilated and easy to put on. I also suggest the suncover as well. My boys have been so content everytime they are in it no matter what the terrain, and we have been on some bumpy rides! Def worth every penny!!!
