Mountain Buggy Duet Double Rain Cover

Product Information

The standard set-up of the Duet comes with two world-facing seats, but the pram offers a range of configurations to suit different needs. Mountain Buggy offers an all-terrain pram suited to the needs of modern parents. For quality manoeuvrability, durability, adaptability and simplicity you cannot go past the superior engineering of Mountain Buggy's premium, award-winning products. Parent facing longevity. From newborn to 9kg, carrycot plus offers lie flat comfort and reflux safety, then transitions to a parent facing seat up to 15kgs With clips included, Carrycot Plus is easy to assemble and can be easily taken off and used as a standalone carrycot on the ground or paired with the carrycot stand.

Travel system-compatible, it can be adapted to attach up to two cocoons, two carrycots (which turn into handy parent-facing seats) and two car seats, making it suitable for both newborn twins and siblings of different ages. It’s worth noting though that each seat unzips and clips off, which could be a faff if you wanted to regularly change the set-up. Without the Mountain Buggy carrycot, cocoon or car seat, we couldn’t test the stability of the pram in all its potential configurations, but its robustness in what is likely to be its most used form was something of a marvel. What about the brakes?A double buggy that caters for all your family’s needs, the Mountain Buggy Duet V3.2 can easily nip around supermarket aisles and fit through doorways while still being spacious enough for your child to rest and grow comfortably. Assembly time will be longer if you plan to attach adaptors and accessories, such as a carrycot or car seat. What’s in the box? There are no dangerous gaps or clips that little fingers can reach. While Liz felt that some of the other side-by-side buggies she tested – such as the Chicco Echo Twin Stroller and Out n About Nipper Double – didn’t offer enough support for her youngest (five months) when fully reclined, the padded seats on the Mountain Buggy Duet V3.2 are exceptionally comfy for younger babies – though she did use her own newborn cocoon for added cosiness.

Safely designed reflux/ incline mode. Parents can seamlessly transition from lie flat to incline in seconds. A slight incline raises the head of the child higher than their feet, helping manage reflux. The hoods are easy to pull in and out though and each has a clear peek-a-boo window to make it easier to interact with your children when on the move. Is there a rain cover? Made to comply with EN:1888 safety standards, the metal chassis and four large wheels make the buggy very robust. Despite the stiffness, the footbrake feels very secure and holds the pram on both flat ground and hills with or without children in the seats – and even when loaded with bags.Double buggies range in price and many of the designs that can be adapted, like the Duet, do tend to be at the higher end of the market. While it’s cheaper than some of its competitors, the Duet is still a big investment, especially when you have to pay extra for a rain cover. Parents can seamlessly transition from lie flat to incline in seconds. A slight incline raises the head of the child higher than their feet, helping manage reflux. You’ll need a bicycle pump to inflate the tyres, but the buggy is simple to assemble. It took our tester, mum of two Liz, just a few minutes to attach the wheels to the chassis, and to clip on the individual sunshades and bumper bar. Unfortunately you won’t find a rain cover inside (more on that below), which is one of the main downsides to this buggy and one that may be a deal-breaker for some parents.
