Mountain Buggy - Nano V2 (2015+)

We have the Mountain Buggy Nano which does “fit” the Cosco Scenera. For whatever reason, our 3yo has decided it’s her preferred stroller over our Uppababy so we’ve used it A LOT in the past few months. As an everyday stroller, it’s just ok. I miss the Uppababy’s much smoother ride. The big plus is that our kid really likes it. It’s a little small. I’m 5’8” and it’s a hair too short for me. Both my husband and I have accidentally engaged the brake by taking a big step. The folding/unfolding mechanism is not intuitive, and requires two hands and emptying out nearly all the storage, so it’s best used like a regular stroller that you happened to bring on a plane or in a car, it’s not something that makes trains and buses that much easier other than being lightweight.

We have a Cosco Scenera seat mainly for getting to and from airports, occasionally to get around the city. Our strollers are an Uppababy Vista, which can accommodate the car seat in the basket, and the Mountain Buggy Nano which has a universal infant car seat attachment system and a supposedly popular toddler carseat attachment hack. All that being said, we almost never go anywhere that requires that we lug the car seat with us at the destination. It’s too much equipment. These clever travel ideas don’t account for all the toddler stuff we have to carry around anyway, so getting either stroller perfectly packed so that they can go into a car trunk without raining out a bag’s worth of stale cracker crumbs only happens if we’re flying. What we actually do is 1) check if the destination has coat check or stroller parking to leave the car seat there, 2) figure out how to get there via public transportation with the travel stroller and/or a toddler carrier (apparently I’m often the only person that’s ever worn a 2yo because people were constantly surprised to see my giant monster of a child looming over them), or we put off going until kid is out of the car seat and ready for a booster/harness. Our wishlist of city destinations isn’t that long, just take the subway.

We have the mountain buggy nano as our travel stroller and it’s just ok for the price. Honestly surprised it won design awards because it does not fold and unfold easily.

I have 3. Uppababy Cruz is my everyday stroller, a BOB from fb marketplace is my winter/snow stroller, Mountain Buggy Nano is my travel stroller (has gone all over Canada, US, China, and Portugal). Love all three.

I got a used mountain buggy nano and have been pretty happy with it!

We use two...Bugaboo Fox for everyday and Mountain Buggy Nano for traveling

Agreed! I was just there with my 2 year old and my Mountain Buggy Nano (single), and between the narrow doorways, cobblestone, and stairs, it was definitely a workout.

Was just going to recommend this! I have the current version, which is $320, and have used it for 2 years on about 7 international trips, and as my backup car stroller. It has held up well, and I originally used it with my Clek Liingo infant seat. I've always gate checked it, just to keep my hands free to get on and off the flight.

Ha! So many. 1. Bumbleride Indie - great all-purpose stroller for walks, jogs, snowy terrain, etc. 2. Mountain Buggy Nano - work horse travel stroller that can technically fit in most overhead bins (though we usually gate check it). Was nice to have when the kids were very small because it can lay flat. Terrible for snow and sand, but survived uneven paving, cobblestones, some mud, etc. I currently use this as a casual every day stroller and leave it in the back of my car. 3. Thule double chariot - for walks and jogs with both kids, especially useful in the winter because the large wheels are good in snow. 4. Summer Infant 3D Lite - bought this on a vacation that we were confident we could do without a stroller. 5. Cheap Red Kite umbrella stroller - another situation where I thought we could get by with a stroller for the big kid and a carrier for the baby, but gave up and bought the cheapest stroller we could find locally. If I could do it again, I'd get one nice jogging stroller (worth it for the maneuverability in rough terrain even if you don't plan on jogging) and then a cheaper, probably second hand umbrella stroller for casual use and short outings.

We have two. The jogging stroller is definitely the most useful one - obviously it's good for running, but it's also very good on bumpy terrain and is the only one we can use outdoors in the winter. We went with a Bumbleride Indie, but they all seemed pretty comparable when we tested them out. We chose that one because they had adapters for our model of car seat. We also have a Mountain Buggy Nano that can fold up to fit in an overhead compartment. We travel a lot so I thought this would be a really helpful feature, but in hindsight we would have been fine getting a cheap umbrella stroller for every day use and gate checking it for flights. I do like the convenience of a small stroller, especially for quick outings.

I think you're honestly going to want a side by side, they are easier to fold up for travel generally and they make more travel options in side by side. You can get a mountain buggy nano from an open box site like albee baby for under $300, and I can vouch that it is a fantastic stroller. Folds very small and is very lightweight while still not feeling like junk to push. It is also surprisingly narrow and should fit through any doorway wide enough for a wheelchair. There are much less expensive options than that, I just can't vouch for them personally!

The mountain buggy was my daily driver til my twins were over a year! We recently switched to a Zoe twin because I wanted something a little sturdier for day to day now that they are big. Hanging onto our nano for travel though! The thing I like best about it for travel is that it folds into thirds so it gets shockingly small. The folding process is a little more fiddly than other strollers because of that, but as a travel stroller I think it's worth an extra 20 seconds or so. You honestly may find you like a side by side better for day to day too. I find them soooo much easier to maneuver as long as you fit through doorways (again, never had an issue with the mountain buggy nano!).

Love the Uppababy Minu. The V3 has some nice upgrade features from the first two iterations. It’s so much smoother than my mountain buggy nano or Zoe stroller and the recline is close to flat. Underbasket is a little small but we’ve managed to pack it for two kids under 3-4 for Disney park days.

I got the Uppababy Cruz 2 for my first (with the hope we’d have a second with a ~2 year gap) - I didn’t like the the double configuration for the Vista (with bassinet at the bottom) and liked the smaller profile of the Cruz. Figured we’d reassess the pram situation if/when the next baby came along. Second baby is now 5 months old, and we got a piggyback board a few weeks ago which has been working great when taking both kids out by myself (though less successful if dad is with us, as our 2.5 year old then wants to be carried 🙃). We also have a Mountain Buggy travel stroller dad has been using for almost 2 years, and still uses when taking our older one out on his own, so at this stage we’re not looking at a double.

Wait so what is the second stroller? Also I could never justify getting a second stroller simply for looks or because it’s a “collectors item.” We have an uppababy vista and then we bought a mountain buggy nano as a travel stroller because it folds up small enough to be an airplane carryon

Currently have 3: * peg perego selfie. We bought this. We like it, except the basket underneath is annoying and hard to get things in and out of, but otherwise this stroller is perfect. Even in snow despite just having dinky compact wheels. * Stokke xplory. Given to us. Hate it, too big, too hard to disassemble. it sits on our porch and collects dusts because it's too difficult to use for anything beyond walking around the neighborhood * mountain buggy nano. Given to us. Meh. Dont love it, but also don't hate it. Too hard to fold (needs 2 hands), doesn't steer as smoothly as the other strollers, but reasonably sized so we have it in my husbands car ad use it occasionally.
