Mountain Buggy Side-by-Side Double Pushchair with 4 Wheels

Product Information

During testing, Liz wandered for hours in the pouring rain and both children were completely covered. It kept the whole buggy dry except for the handlebar and wheels. However, it’s up to you if or how you adapt the Duet. The fully reclining seats can be used from birth and, with the extra padding, they feel very supportive when in lie-flat mode. Now in its seventh generation, the iCandy Peach is a super versatile tandem buggy. Whether you want to use it as a single pram, a double buggy or a pushchair for twins, the pram offers up to 25 different configurations using seats, car seats and carrycots. The Mountain Buggy Duet V3.2 comes with four 10-inch (25cm) air-filled tyres, which are designed to give a smooth ride over bumpy ground. Our tester felt the handling was outstanding on all terrain. The most compact, fully featured, all-terrain side-by-side buggy in the market that is the same width as a single buggy; duet™ is the ultimate ride for siblings or twins, from newborn to toddler, offering innovation like no other.

I wanted something that could convert to a double when I needed it to, rather than have both seats all the time. It’s great for all-terrain and has been on many muddy forest walks. The basket is huge and it's a very sturdy buggy that never tips up. I also like how the handlebar can extend up, which is good for when the toddler's on the buggy board. I also like that I can use it as a travel system and put the car seat on it if I just want to nip into a shop. The only thing I would say is it is quite heavy when both kids are in it... and it does take a lot of space up in the boot." The rain cover comes with its own pouch that can attach to multiple places on the chassis, which means that it won't take up basket space. How easy is the Mountain Buggy Duet to push? I love it. It’s so lightweight and easy to push. Both children are side by side, so can see things. And being the width of a standard wheelchair, it can fit through all doorways. It is super easy to fold down and goes pretty flat, so there's no need to take the seats on and off. It's great on pavements and for off-roading, too." duet™ luxury is an amalgamation of duet's stand out, all terrain features alongside world class craftsmanship of hand-stitched leather accents and classic herringbone fabrics for an elegant, refined aesthetic. 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.

What’s the Mountain Buggy Duet V3.2 like in day-to-day use?

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? It is a brilliant pushchair and even when dd1 was 6-7 and having a moment, she could sit in it and be pushed around. Massive seat" - recommended by Mumsnet user, user1471530109 Our verdict Many parents love that side-by-side double buggies mean there’s no squabbling over who sits at the front. But they can also make a day out to the shops with your children harder if you’re struggling to squeeze between shop doors or get on the bus. The Duet comes with a frame, two seats, two sunshades, four wheels, a storage basket, a bumper bar and a bottle holder. I chose it because I wanted my children so they could both see out. It fits through doorways fine. I love that I can take it on any terrain. It is much better off-road than my single one, so it's opened up more walks for us. It feels lovely to push and it fits in the boot of my small car. It’s very practical. It is a good price, too."

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. The buggy comes with everything you need to get out and about with two children. The carrycot converts to a seat after six months so there’s no need to buy extra seats or store a bulky carrycot. Chicco’s Echo Twin Stroller is the double version of the popular Echo and, although basic, there’s a lot to like about it. The Mountain Buggy Duet V3.2 is the latest update on the Duet, a side-by-side double buggy that can initially be bought as a single to later grow with your family.

Being able to wheel your pram into the house when your children are sleeping or load up the buggy before you leave home will be essential for many parents. It’s also great if you can wheel it around town and through shop doors easily.

The best double buggy is the Mountain Buggy Duet V3.2. A compact and versatile side-by-side pram, it’s suitable for twins or siblings of different ages and can take up to two seats, carrycots or car seats. It has an easy one-handed fold mechanism, a big storage basket and four big tyres to make it a great all-rounder for any terrain. Made to comply with EN:1888 safety standards, the metal chassis and four large wheels make the buggy very robust. The folding mechanism is fairly simple to get to grips with and, when folded, the buggy is compact and easy to store, both in a car boot and at home.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. 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

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? Age range: Newborn to 3 years | Maximum load: 15kg | Product weight: 13.4kg | Dimensions: 38 × 40 × 105cm (folded); 78 × 82 × 108 cm (unfolded) | Travel system-compatible: No | Orientation: Side by side What we love Built upon the same engineering platform of our Red Dot award winning urban jungle™ luxury collection; duet™ luxury has been masterfully designed with such extreme versatility for either siblings OR twins, combined with features specifically tailored to take two. Double prams can be very bulky and generally measure up to around 82cm in width. But with standard external doorways measuring around 76 to 96cm, most double buggies will fit through doors. However, there are slimmer options available that will cope with most small spaces.

What about the brakes?

The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double is pretty much ready to go straight from the box, which most will appreciate, and it boasts an intuitive design with a simple fold mechanism and an adjustable handlebar, with all other adjustment points on the pram highlighted helpfully in blue. The pram comes with two world-facing seats that can be used from birth, but the Baby Jogger also takes up to two carrycots, which are cosy, easy to pop on and off, and can be collapsed when not in use. The seats are deep and each has an infinite recline, a decent hood and an adjustable calf rest.
