Available in single-, double-, or even triple-seat models, the Mountain Buggy Urban will comfortably seat however many little ones you need to protect. The seat itself is hammock-like, allowing easy lateral movement and promoting healthy posture. The seatback is padded and reclines almost horizontally, so that an afternoon outing and a nap may happen at the same time. The Urban can also convert from an all-purpose stroller into a pram and even an infant car-seat carrier, with the simple addition of either Mountain Buggy’s Single Carrycot, or a multi-car seat adapter, respectively. Last, the soft woven straps that harness your child into her seat adjust as your child grows into toddler hood.

Your child will not be the only one enjoying the ergonomic design of the Mountain Buggy Urban. The soft-grip handle adjusts to different heights, accommodating various caregivers. You will even find a water-bottle holder, and under the seat, a large-capacity storage compartment, which can hold a diaper bag and other essentials. If you chose the Urban Elite, your Mountain Buggy will even come fully equipped with its own diaper bag.

For the city-dweller and off-roader, the Urban is designed with maneuverability in mind. The air-filled 12″ tires are essentially shock absorbers. The stroller’s materials also help make the Urban multi-terrain and multi-weather, as the fabric is UV and water resistant, and the frame is made of lightweight, rust-resistant aluminum tubing. A removable storm cover protects your child from the elements, while a small window in the sun hood allows you to check on her without leaving your spot.

Storing, transporting, and even shipping the Mountain Buggy Urban is also made simple and safe. It is easily collapsible and even has a contractible axel, so that you may use space efficiently. You will find that it unlocks and unfolds with a single lever locking mechanism, which is a feature common to and popular in all Mountain Buggies. The front wheels swivel 360-degrees, making rounding a corner as simple as moving forward. However, you can adjust the rotation on the front wheel or wheels, so that the stroller is safe and in control at all times. The foot-operated brake is located near the back right wheel, allowing you safely to come to a halt on any incline. A safety strap will give you that extra assurance that your loved one is safely connected to you.

Deemed a Mumsnet “best,” the Mountain Buggy Urban is a consumer favorite and an industry pick. Designed to adjust as a child grows form infancy to toddler hood, the Urban may be the first and last stroller you ever need to purchase. Who could pass up such simplicity?

The weight of the double jogger stroller is one of the biggest factors that you need to consider. Remember that even if the vehicle seems fine empty, you will have two children in it. And over time, those children will get heavier. If you are going to be transporting gear as well, that can also add to the weight. It can add up quickly and the last thing you want to end up with is something that is too heavy to push.

Frame strength and functionality are also important. Aluminum is a popular choice for the frame. It is strong and lightweight. Anything that can reduce the weight of the double jogger stroller while keeping it functional is important. The way the frame folds and how small it folds down is important to think about. If you are going to be transporting the folded unit you want to make sure it collapses down as small as possible. You also want to make sure that you can operate the folding and unfolding mechanism with one hand. It may take a bit of practice but with two small children there will be very few times you will have both hands free at the same time.

Seat positioning should be something you look at. Whether you want two seats side by side or in a row is an important consideration. You should consider how well the seating will work if you have two children who are different in weight. If they are too different weight-wise, you may find that a side by side will unbalance and this can be frustrating, especially if the double jogger stroller has three wheels as many jogger strollers do. Remember though, that seats where the children are in a row may be a problem if the children seated in the back run out of leg room.

Where you will be taking your double jogger stroller is a good point of comparison as well. If you are planning on doing a lot of off road traveling or you will be taking it to a beach, you will want one with larger wheels. Three wheeled strollers are often better for off road use than four wheeled strollers. The only problem with a three wheeled double jogger stroller is that it may be harder to steer if you need to move through crowds or negotiate store aisles. Thinking about how you will use the product and taking models you are interested in for a test drive can be a good way to compare them.

Are there particular features that you want? Many of the new double jogger strollers come with cup holders and large storage compartments. Do you need a place for everything and everything in its place? Consider models that have an organizer. Many may even have a key compartment or detachable portable storage like a diaper bag or knapsack. A double umbrella stroller can also come in handy in the rain.

Keep in mind that while the double jogger stroller is beautiful and pristine now, once children have been in it for some time it is likely to get dirty. Therefore, any product you pick should be easy to clean. Look for features such as removable seat liners and patterned fabric that is treated to resist stains. You also want to make sure that you can wipe down the fabric so that it can be kept neat and tidy.

You can find excellent deals on double jogger strollers online. There are many sites which sell baby goods and often for quite a bit less than you would pay in a store. The only problem is that nothing beats a test drive. A good way to find one  you are comfortable with is to take one for a test drive in a store, and then consider purchasing it or a similar model from a website. Once you have your double jogger stroller, the sky (and the weather) is the limit.

The primary requirement is strength and durability. A well made stroller should be easily capable of lasting the child’s first few years without falling apart. This applies even more so to the tandem stroller since if this fails catastrophically then you have two children to transport instead of one and this means double trouble. The better tandem strollers also hold two baby seats so that you have a true method of total infant transportation.

The most obvious requirement for a tandem stroller is when you have twins but they can also be very useful for infants who are close in age. They are an excellent method of keeping your children safe and sound as well as providing comfort and warmth for the babies.

Another important consideration is the weight of the stroller – two babies are a significant weight and when added to the weight of a tandem stroller then it’s a very significant weight to negotiate around malls and parks.

Other features to look out for are the type of frame – choose metallic frames rather than plastic, which tends to look cheap and can lack in strength when compared to metal. A wide wheelbase is also an important feature since this gives the stroller much needed stability. The wide wheelbase should be accompanied by sturdy suspension and good padded seating. If the seating area also has a cover that can be removed for cleaning then so much the better since babies tend to be very messy at the most inopportune moments.

One feature of the best tandem strollers is the ability to recline each seat individually to allow one baby to be reclined without the other. It’s a rare moment if both want to sleep at exactly the same time and therefore if one can recline and sleep whilst the other remains awake, then peace is likely to result.

Other features to look out for are adjustable footrests, storage baskets and seatbelts. All these items will make your life easier. You might also consider a double umbrella stroller or double jogger stroller.

Consider carefully the type of tandem stroller to purchase. These are generally divided into three types; front and rear facing models, side by side models and the sit and stand variety.  The front and rear facing have stadium style seating and can normally accommodate detachable car seats. They can sometimes be facing each other which works well for some children and not for others. The side by side design are a good method of eliminating arguments from children about who sits in front but consider the width and therefore the reduced maneuverability and access this can give.  The sit and stand style are great for toddlers and provide a different method of transportation than the other styles.

Whatever style you choose always buy the best you can afford and make sure it meets the relevant safety standards. Babies and toddlers spend a lot of time in a stroller and you need to be happy that they will always remain safe.

A major point to consider when purchasing a pram is to find one that suits you and your lifestyle. Safety and comfort are obviously top of your priority list but lifestyle will play a big part. Things such as if you own a car, would it fit in the boot? If you have to get public transport are you going to be able to collapse it with one hand and carry it? Will you require a shopping basket underneath?

All of those points you will need to bear in mind when researching the vast options open to you.

Safety points to remember when looking to purchase baby prams include looking at how stable it is. When hanging bags on the back, if the weight is not evenly distributed, the stroller will tip backwards and could cause serious injury to your child.

The braking system also needs to be taken into consideration. Some have a hand brake combined with a stronger foot brake. Others will only have a foot brake. Whichever type you choose, the brake has to be sturdy enough to prevent the vehicle from rolling if you park it on a hill. Baby prams can hold a larger amount of weight than its own and the baby’s, including whatever you decide to hang or store under it. The brakes have to be able to cope with this.

Seat belts are an important safety feature as they prevent the infant from slipping out. All newborn baby prams will have a five point harness which goes over the baby’s shoulders and then across the baby’s waist. Always strap your child in prior to starting to push the pram, as bumps, steps or slopes can cause your baby to fall out if not strapped in.

The types of wheels on baby prams vary enormously as well. You can have three-wheeled rubber, all-terrain wheels like the Mountain Buggy Urban, which will enable you to take it across any surface. They generally come with the front wheel being a swivel wheel, which makes maneuvering easier. Other baby prams will have small plastic or hard rubber wheels, which won’t be suitable across uneven ground, and you may find yourself stuck.

The weight and size of the pram stroller when open and collapsed is a crucial factor when deciding on your purchase. Some of the three-wheeler all-terrain baby prams are bulky when open and folded, yet don’t weigh very much. But these don’t fit in small car boots. The umbrella-folding baby prams will fold flat and are very narrow. But, deceptively, they can weigh considerably more than the bigger three wheelers. Although, they will fit in all car sizes and some umbrella folding prams are designed to fold to half their size again.

Swivel wheels, whilst making turning corners and sharp maneuvers easier, can go wrong and get the ‘supermarket trolley’ syndrome. This is where they do not wheel completely straight anymore and pull off to one side.
