Mountain Buggy Duet Double Buggy Stroller Review
The Mountain Buggy duet Double Buggy Stroller, built by Mountain Buggy, is both convenient and compact. It is designed to be used either as a single stroller or a double stroller depending on the needs of your growing family. This side-by-side stroller can accommodate children from birth up to 5 years of age. At only 25 inches wide, it is one of the slimmest side-by-side double stroller on the market today. With its super sleek design, and 10-inch tires, it is a breeze to maneuver in a crowded city or on any mountain trail thus allowing you and your young children the freedom to go anywhere, anytime, in both comfort and style.

Key Features
- This stroller can accommodate up to a combined 80 pounds in seat weight. It is designed to be used from birth up through age 5. The underseat storage basket will hold an additional 11 pounds of gear.
- The frame is made of lightweight aluminum. At only 25 inches wide, this narrow double stroller has about the same width as most single strollers.
- The 10-inch air-filled tires maneuver seamlessly around tight corners, up and down curbs, and through the narrowest of doorways. The wheels are also designed to tackle rough terrain allowing for a smoother ride.
- There is an infinite number of seat positions available, so your infant can lie down flat while your toddler can sit up and enjoy the view.
- The adjustable handlebar can be positioned to suit any height. This is especially convenient for those parents who are very tall or very short. A safety wrist strap ensures a secure grip.
- The duet can be quickly and easily folded in one smooth action.
Safety Features and Key Benefits
- Its four 10-inch air-filled tires maneuver over uneven surfaces with ease.
- A one hand adjust, twist and slide 5-point seat harness secures your child firmly in their seat. The grab bar detaches making it easy to get in and out of the stroller.
- The fully adjustable individual sun hoods provide protection from the sun. The flick-out visors protect your children’s eyes.
- The two front wheels are swivel wheels but can be locked in a fixed position for bumpy terrain or when jogging.
- The wheels can be locked securely in place, when needed, with a convenient brake pedal.
- The duet has been rigorously safety tested and is certified compliant with EN1888:2005, and ASTM F833-10-USA safety standards.
Pros
- At only 25 inches wide you are really getting the best of both worlds. You get the maneuverability of a side by side stroller but with the ability to also easily fit through tight spaces just like you would with a tandem stroller.
- The 10 inch air-filled all-terrain tires allow you to go off road and easily go over grass or other bumpy surfaces with ease. The front wheels can be locked thus removing the swivel. That allows much more stability when traveling off road.
- The handlebar adjusts from about 29 inches above the ground to about 42 inches with a lot of other positons in between.
- This stroller folds up fairly easy.
Cons
- At only 11 inches wide the seats are probably a little narrow for larger size kids to comfortably sit side by side.
- Some parents feel that the Mountain duet is a little heavy. But that is probably true for most double strollers.
Overall Review and Verdict
The Mountain Buggy duet Double Buggy Stroller is a rugged all-terrain stroller that handles very well and is durable. At 25 inches wide, you probably won’t a thinner side-by-side double stroller anywhere. This stroller will work very well for active parents who want to jog with their kids. It is also a perfect stroller for twins.
