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 / 33 lbs capacity parent facing seat. 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.

The padded seats on the Duet are just 28cm wide, but Liz’s four-year-old felt very comfortable and had plenty of space despite being at the upper end of the buggy's weight limit. The seats come with a bumper bar, which is easy to unclip and swing out of the way when getting children in or out, and a leg rest that can be extended with one hand. The Duet comes with a frame, two seats, two sunshades, four wheels, a storage basket, a bumper bar and a bottle holder. You’ll need a bicycle pump to inflate the tyres, but the buggy is simple to assemble. It took our tester, mum of two Liz, just a few minutes to attach the wheels to the chassis, and to clip on the individual sunshades and bumper bar. Sleep unaided. 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 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. After outings on a variety of terrain during testing, in which the frame and wheels got splattered with mud, the buggy cleaned up well with a cloth and non-abrasive household cleaner. 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.

There are no dangerous gaps or clips that little fingers can reach. While Liz felt that some of the other side-by-side buggies she tested – such as the Chicco Echo Twin Stroller and Out n About Nipper Double – didn’t offer enough support for her youngest (five months) when fully reclined, the padded seats on the Mountain Buggy Duet V3.2 are exceptionally comfy for younger babies – though she did use her own newborn cocoon for added cosiness. 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? 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. 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.

To get the best out of the Duet, Mountain Buggy recommends brushing dirt off the frame and wheels regularly, and removing sand and salt after going to the beach. What’s the Mountain Buggy Duet like to look at? 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. 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 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?

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. 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.Parents can seamlessly transition from lie flat to incline in seconds. A slight incline raises the head of the child higher than their feet, helping manage reflux.
