Mountain Buggy Duet Double Rain Cover

Product Information

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. If you need any help with assembly, there’s a digital version of the instructions and a 20-minute video showing you how to do everything from initial set-up to switching between the various configurations. Even though it’s one of the slimmest side-by-sides on the market, the Duet's seats can each take up to 18kg and are spacious enough to last up to age four. The frame and fabric feel high-quality and, with the brilliant handling of this pram on all terrain, we think you get what you pay for. Final verdict There’s also a Joey Tote Bag available – a shopping basket with handles that replace one of the seats – so that the pram can be used as a single buggy. If you have another older child, there’s even the option to attach the Mountain Buggy Freerider, a stroller board which turns into a kids' scooter.

The storage on the Duet was one of the best we tested. The basket sits underneath both seats and can fit up to 10kg, which is more than enough for a day out – including a changing bag, a bag of shopping and the rain cover, though this can also be attached to the frame elsewhere. Certified for overnight, unaided sleep, featuring a breathable firm mattress and ventilated base to create a safe snug place to sleep when away from home. 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?From newborn to three years, Carrycot Plus offers three unique parent facing solutions in one bundle. Incorporating one of a kind innovation that focuses on longevity, Mountain Buggy ensures parents get more than just a fully featured carrycot. The ‘Plus’ delivers both a safe inclined reflux mode and a 15kg capacity parent facing seat. 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

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? 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. The full range of Mountain Buggy products is available at Kiddie Country with new innovations from this forward-thinking brand added all of the time. Our team are happy to help you find the right product for your needs, and with Mountain Buggy's quality, you'll enjoy the convenience of their prams for many years to come. The Duet was put through a variety of topple tests with both children in and out of the seats. We also tested the pram with a bag weighing 2kg to see how it would hold up with a newborn inside. The frame held strong each time, even when the pram’s storage basket was fully loaded for a day out and had a changing bag hanging on the handlebar. Liz found the pram very intuitive to use so didn’t need to refer to the instructions again during testing, but they will be helpful if, at a later date, you need to attach a carrycot, cocoon or car seat.We tested the silver and, after a week covering around 10 miles, the wheels were still fully inflated and in good condition, and the rest of the pram looked as good as new. Is the Mountain Buggy Duet V3 good value for money? When out on the nursery run, Liz pushed the buggy down narrow pavements, passed parked cars on both sides of the road and manoeuvred over areas where tree roots had pushed up the concrete. She also went on muddy dog walks in marshland and over sports grounds and gravel, and the Duet performed brilliantly on both. For use on and off buggy. 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. 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. 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.
