When expecting our first kid, my only buggy requirements were that it was simple, that it could fit into our tiny car and that I could retain my man-card when pushing it in public. We settled on the Mountain Buggy Swift which easily fulfilled all three of my pre-child, narrow-minded requirements.

Since now understanding what it means to have a kid, my buggy requirements have changed slightly.
It must:
Easy to manoeuvre (so grand parents can take kid out for long walks without parents being present).
Kid comfortable and likes being in b...Read more

My sister has had a Mountain Buggy Urban for 6 years and I love the way it handles all terrains so I thought I would purchase one myself. However when I bought my stroller I decided on the Swift due to it's more compact size. Unfortunately I did not realise that Mountain Buggy's are no longer made in New Zealand and that the quality has gone down terribly. I have had the Chinese made Swift for 2 years and in that time I have had to buy an entire new wheel, 3 new tires, 3 new inner tubes, multiple new bearings and I will soon have to replace the...Read more

This pram was recommended to us by friends for our first child and is the only pram we've owned so I don't have much to compare it to.
We've had it for about 18 months now and its been used regularly each week for long walks and for the occasional run without any major issues.
It fit (just) in the back of our Mazda 2. The folding mechanism is nice and straight forward and when folded the pram is reasonably lightweight and manageable, although a locking mechanism would make it easier.

Main issues we've had are:
- flat tyres!!, they are ...Read more

Bought this pram for my son whilst I was pregnant and have loved it since day 1! Soo easy to push around (I'd walk with my friends who'd struggle to push their prams or get caught in aisles) loved the bassinet attachment and just in general loved this pram. Used it everywhere! At the park/shops/beach...nothing was hard.

Only downside I didn't enjoy was the storage basket, was just hard to put things in it since the gap was small. I just added handy clips for my bags and a universal cup/key holder to the handles.
Also with the wheels, jus...Read more

I was deciding between the Mountain Buggy Swift and the Baby Jogger GT. Went for the Swift in the end, as Baby Jogger GT had a huge back order, and glad I did. One priority for my pram was it had to be light weight as would be lifting in and out of the car god knows how many times. The Swift is 9.5kg, alot of other prams are 11kg. Another priority was a good turning circle for supermarkets and tight places, the Swift is very nimble and narrow. Another priority was wheel size, we live near alot of gravel walking tracks so needed wheels that coul...Read more

I bought this pram in August 2012 for my second baby. I previously owned the Urban buggy which I found to be too large to maneuver around cafes and shops however loved the fact that it was a good jogger pram which could go on any surface. I am very happy with the Swift as it is very compact and light while still being very sturdy and durable. I bought the bassinet which I found very easy to clip in and out of the frame and the whole pram lifts easily in and out of my car which is a 4WD so quite high. The fact that it is more compact means I...Read more

Got the buggy this year (2012), and love it. It folds down really easily, has adjustable heights for the handle bar which is so handy!! also its quite light weight, and can carry up to 35 kg. Baby can lie down flat or anywhere in between upright and flat. This means you can use on any aged baby, up to a 4 year old. The belt does up in a complicated manner, but its good because toddlers cant work out how to escape. I find it shades my baby fine, especially with the sun shade attachment (although this does cost extra unfortunately). Easy to use o...Read more

I've had this pram for about half a year. This is the pre-2010 NZ model.
I'm overall pretty happy with this. It folds very easily and is very sturdy. I can put a rather heavy nappy bag over the handle and it doesn't tip over. It's pretty maneuverable and easily moves over rough surfaces.
My bub loves it and sleeps really well in it.

There are, however, a few things that I don't quite like about it.
1. The sun gets in the eyes of my bub quite a fair bit.
2. Because it is a pre-2010 model, it is quite hard to find parts and accessories fro...Read more

Having pored over these reviews when selecting a pram thought I better report back. Have been so happy with this pram, it's small and maneuverable enough to get around inner city streets, in and out of shops and even on trams without hassle, and sturdy enough to deal with cross country walks through the park. We got the bassinet, I really wanted to see our bub, and because I walk daily it was worth it even though we swapped him to the seat at 3 1/2 months because he was grizzly and bored with only seeing the sky. Easy enough to get in and out...Read more

I Love my MB swift ! I have had it for 14mths and my toddler and I are still enjoying it. My 14mth old girl is 97% for height and weight and has plenty of room to stretch out. I also purchased the matching bassinet which was a life saver during those first months to help little one get to sleep.

I live inner city Melbourne and the Swift easily manages the narrow door ways of the local shops and narrow aisles at the supermarket and busy weekend markets. I love the how easy it is to maneuvere with one hand steering especially if you are carr...Read more

I am very happy with the MB Swift. I bought it on sale at BB for $459 and it came with a free storm cover. I also purchased the sun cover which zips onto the inbuilt sun canopy. The best part about this pram is the fact that I could clip my Safe and Sound Unity car capsule onto the pram frame by purchasing a $50 Mountain Buggy travel adaptor made especially for this. It meant the when baby fell asleep in the car capsule, I didn't need to wake him to place him in the pram, I could simply take the capsule with baby in it and clip the capsule into...Read more

We chose this pram because reviews said it rode on grass and sand. Grass is easy, sand is a bit of a push but I wouldntr try it with any other three-wheeler prams. It fits easily into a tiny car. Its handles are tall enough for my husband to push without hurting his shoulders. However the main issue I have with it is that it does not sit upright enough. For months my baby was annoyed in it and leaned forward. The crossbar is very important to stop him falling out but it falls off all the time - sometimes he kicks it off. Mountain buggy only m...Read more
