Made to comply with EN:1888 safety standards, the metal chassis and four large wheels make the buggy very robust.

The brake is much easier to disengage, however, and requires a light action using the top of your foot, which can be accomplished in any type of footwear. 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.While the fabrics unfortunately can’t be machine-washed, they can be sponge-cleaned with warm water and a mild natural soap. When orange juice was spilled on the fabric, it beaded well and didn’t soak in, which meant that the liquid wiped away without leaving a stain. Unfortunately you won’t find a rain cover inside (more on that below), which is one of the main downsides to this buggy and one that may be a deal-breaker for some parents.

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? 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. 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. 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.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. Double buggies range in price and many of the designs that can be adapted, like the Duet, do tend to be at the higher end of the market. While it’s cheaper than some of its competitors, the Duet is still a big investment, especially when you have to pay extra for a rain cover. The Duet was put through a variety of topple tests with both children in and out of the seats. We also tested the pram with a bag weighing 2kg to see how it would hold up with a newborn inside. The frame held strong each time, even when the pram’s storage basket was fully loaded for a day out and had a changing bag hanging on the handlebar. The Duet comes with a frame, two seats, two sunshades, four wheels, a storage basket, a bumper bar and a bottle holder.

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? 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. Liz found the pram very intuitive to use so didn’t need to refer to the instructions again during testing, but they will be helpful if, at a later date, you need to attach a carrycot, cocoon or car seat.Our tester loved how well the Duet fit into all aspects of her life. One of the pram’s selling points is how slim it is compared to other side-by-side buggies. Measuring just 65cm, it’s the same width as a single buggy and one of the most compact side-by-sides on the market.
