Mountain Buggy - swift™

Mountain Buggy Swift stroller with infant bassinet. Maxi Cosi car seat, 0-4 years. Comfortable soft structured carrier. I'm a huge fan of a 3-wheeled functional, easy to maneuver stroller. I was a nanny for 16 years and Mountain Buggy was hands down my favorite and makes walks a dream. It folds down well. Grows with the baby very well. Incredibly smooth for both. Good storage. And importantly, it lasts! Even if you're small, you'll be able to control it with a couple of fingers, it's so responsive due to the 3-wheels and air filled tires. It is marketed for running and outdoor lifestyles, but it's perfect for city use too. I always encourage my friends to get a stroller for their toddler not their infant, because infant suitable stuff is short lived and a wee baby can work in any stroller but the real test is as baby grows and is heavier and the prams just struggle and then you struggle.

Strollers are like shoes, you *can* have just one kind, you probably need different kinds for different situations. We ended up with I think 5 but in retrospect 3 would have been fine. **Babyzen yoyo** for flights and airports and very smooth shopping centre floors. **UppaBaby Vista double f**or 2 kids and for shopping trips (huge cargo sapce under) **Mountain Buggy Swift** for normal every day walks with one kid: this one is the king of prams, 3 wheel design, pneumatic tyres, perfect handle you can push with one hand, super easy to fold. If I could have only one this would be my one.

I got the citi mini gt2 and I don't love it. We loved our bugaboo fox but the 2 part fold was a ball ache. The baby jogger harness is crap and the seat isn't upright enough for my liking. Not sure how it gets so many good reviews. Mountain buggy is far superior in terms of handling and harness etc, wish we'd got one of those!

Mountain Buggy. Not heavy. Not massive. Not flimsy.
