Mountain Buggy Cosmopolitan Questions & Answers

Do i wait here to get an answer from mountain buggy please ?

yes I love the cosmo
very good on gravel and grass !
turns easy and to pack in the car ! love it!

Awesome, thank you! :-)

Agree, the wheels and suspension make it great for rougher terrain... Not just a 'mall pram'

Not too sure what you mean by laying on the harnesses? If the child is in the pram i'd always strap the child in with the harnesses, if they roll over onto their stomach could be a suffocation risk or if the pram were to tip over they'd fall out. Harnesses are easy to adjust to loosen and tighten.

We just laid her in between. We never strapped her in when laying flat. I'd also put a small blanket down too. No problems at all.

I always had a blanket at the bottom to cushion her. The harnesses never came in the way. I would never strap her in when she was laying flat anyway.

You can buy frames that click onto it to sit a capsule on. They are $39 on the mountain buggy website (the model number is TS23). They are compatible with Safe 'n' Sound capsules.

We hired a maxi cosi capsule to go in the car that was compatible with this pram bit you need adapters for to go on the pram though we never used it because our little one fell asleep easy enough once in the pram. Can't remember which specific maxi cosi capsule it was or if they all fit we asked staff at baby bunting where we bought it.

I'm not to sure.. I have a Nissan Xtrial and a Barina, I don't think it will fit in the Barinas boot because the way the seat harness goes down, but it does fold down well, you can disconnect the seat and turn them both on their side?

Make sure you are pressing both of the small grey buttons on the side of the frame in before you fold. Also the seat needs to be in the frontward facing, fully upright position. Other than this yours might be faulty so I would contact Mountain Buggy. Hope this helps!

Hi
I've had this happen to me as well, I don't think there is necessary a way to fix it but if it's happening I just make sure I push those the buttons on th side properly

I started jogging with it when my son was 18 months old - and it's been ok (not great). It's super flightly, especially if there isn't much weight in it (I run to pick my son up from daycare) - it rattles a lot too. It's not great off road either. if you are looking for pram for jogging and off road, I would suggest getting one of 'traditional' mountain buggies with 3 wheels over this one. I think the cosmo is more suited for flat, even surfaces like foot paths and shopping centres.

It's really not an off road pram, doesn't like being off the concrete.

Thank you for your answers & reviews ladies. I ended up purchasing the Cosmo. My bub is now 9 weeks & I took it for a short jog last night. It doesn't have a lot of stability with the wheels unlocked. I'll try with them locked in to position. I agree, the tyres on the jogger specific prams are more suitable to off road terrain, the wheels on the Cosmo aren't designed for this.

I had this stroller... do yourself a favour & buy a Bugaboo Cameleon, for all the uses you listed. The cosmopolitan is poorly made & i had mine replaced 3 times by the manufacturer before requesting a refund. Its very pretty & has lots of great features but how good is a stroller that cant go the distance? It will wear out before you get the chance to use it for number two.

Hi Cassie, what types of problems did you encounter with the MB Cosmo to have it replaced 3 times? Thanks

Hi, I've had both a cameleon and a cosmopolitan and honestly preferred the cosmopolitan. For your requirements though I wouldn't go either, I'd go something more flexible like the city mini. If you want something like a cosmo or cameleon but want the double seat option go a city select or icandy.

Remove the seat unit & all you should have to do is put the adaptor/s in the holes the seat clicks into (make sure you have them on the correct side, left & right) & from there the capsule should just click in when placed onto the adaptors. You can also contact Mountain Buggy on their website (www.mountainbuggy.com) if you need further assistance, their customer service is fantastic.

So turns out the capsule had extra parts on the sides that click into other prams. I had to unscrew and remove the extra click bits on the side of the capsule for it to be able to click into the adapter. All fits now but had to call the shop to get the answer. I told Mountain buggy they need to update their instructions for the newer model unity capsule to explain this!

Not that I'm aware of. There are quite a few universal ones out there, am on the hunt for one myself.

I haven't really looked into it I'm afraid. It certainly doesn't come with one.

Yes it does. Available via their website (I'm in NZ).

I don't know about the buses, but I do know about the height thing. My husband is 195cm and I'm 173cm. The non adjustable handlebar was a major killer for us. No leg room to move and too short.

Sorry I don't know about buses and trains either. I'm only a shortie (about 159) so have no problem with the handle bar.

Thanks so much for your comments Amanda and chookyGurl am 165 cm feel it's an inch too short such a shame everything else is perfect

No, I haven't managed to get the straps to fit as snug as I'd like either. I have been intending to investigate further but only think about it when I'm strapping bub in and don't have the time.

I found the answer! It's hidden in the depths of the FAQ on the Mountain Buggy website. You pull the straps through the back and feed it back to the front through one of the higher holes - if that makes sense. You can find it here (http://mountainbuggy.com/au/Support/Ask-a-question?qaid=669251947).

The safe and sound unity capsule with the mountain buggy capsule adaptors :-) I got mine from my baby warehouse.

I was worried about the shakey seat but it's actually handy when trying to settle bubs (easy to jiggle). Regarding the straps, I decided to cover them with a pram liner and it worked well for my bubs. It is handy being able to switch to bassinet easily when out and about. My boy is 6 months old and still fits in bassinet mode (never unsupervised though).

I didn't use the buckles yet. I lined the bassinet with a blanket, covering the straps. Baby is 5 months old now. Still in bassinet. I just lift the back a little, so she can see around when not sleeping. It takes no effort to do that. And as I wrote before, we got used to that shaking and it's not that bad after all
