Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle 2015 Model (page 2 of 2)
Urban Jungle Luxury Nautical Edition
I love the design and layout of the pram and my 18month old seems very comfortable in the pram. I can push the pram one handed which is prefect for grocery shopping and it is very easy to steer. The pram is quite large even when folded down and takes up most of my boot space (I have a ford falcon which has a large boot) and can be difficult to lift up into the boot. My great disappointment with this pram, however, is that I spent the extra money on the luxury edition because the pram looked beautiful but only after 6 months of light use (I work...Read more
so only used the pram max maybe once a week - once a fortnight) and I have only ever housed the pram inside, and the pram has faded incredibly to the point where it looks like it's 10 years old and has not been looked after. I first purchased a second hand 2012 MB swift it remained in a lovely and clean condition and was so impressed that I purchased the new one. The fabric on this pram seems to pick up all the fluff off my child's clothing / pram blankets and small tears have appeared at the stitching joins. The seat cushion insert was advertised as washable but even after following the washing instructions the cushion shrunk considerably. I'm terribly disappointed considering the price I paid and embarrassed to take my child out in such a shabby looking pram (not over-exaggerating here, it really does look like I've pulled it out of the dump). I will be looking at a different manufacturer altogether for my next pram.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Good Pram but probably would not buy it again
Choosing the right pram was a harder decision than buying a car. I did a lot of research and it felt like you can't get it all. I wanted a pram for doing a lot of walking and exercise and one which you can easily take off road. So I decided on the urban jungle luxury edition. Although it is a good pram with good wheels and sturdy structure it lacks on comfort and functionality. If I could choose again I would probably go for the Baby Jogger City Elite.

Love it except for the fading
The urban is great. I do a lot of walking around streets without footpaths so love that the large wheels roll over pretty much everything in the way.
The basket is big enough to do a decent grocery shop and walk it home comfortably.
It's easy to maneuver and turns effortlessly in a very small circle. The only time I've had issues getting it down an isle was in a small corner shop, supermarkets are no problem.
It can be a bit hard to wrangle into the boot as it is heavier than others I tested and is fairly large when collapsed but I've foun...Read more

Colours don't match :(
We purchased an Urban Jungle in December as we were expecting our fifth child. We purchased the package with the bassinet attachment and although are happy with the general function of the pram I am more than disappointed with the colour. We got the nautical which I loved and thought looked great but the hood part on the bassinet looks faded (almost a purpley/ blue colour) that doesn't match the bag even though they're the same fabric and definitely doesn't match the colour of the stripes. Also the carry bar at the top of the hood doesn't alwa...Read more
ys stay up on one side. Our bub is still only little so have many more months of using the bassinet/rear facing seat but can't help but feel a little let down with the quality of our purchase everytime we use it.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Absolutely the best pram ever
I just love this pram! I originally got a Redsbaby but found it wasn't suited to my needs. I tried out an old Urban Elite over ten years old that I could tell was exceptional quality so I bought the brand new Urban Jungle and I have not found anything to complain about. It has a big seat which is suitable from newborn to 25 kg and would fit a very tall child. It's SO easy to maneuver, it's a light frame, only 11 kg and so easy to fold by pressing one button. The hood is wide and deep and has an extra sun shade you can pull down as well. The des...Read more
igners have thought of everything. You can now get a forward facing seat with it once your baby outgrows the bassinet (both are optional extras) that will seat a Bub up to 15 kg which I think is really important to have that eye contact and constant view of each other at this young age. I got the optional extra sun cover and rain cover and food tray and they fit in perfectly and stay in place. Best of all this pram is great for those long walks over various terrain with its three 12 & 1/2 inch air tyres AND fits in the shop aisles too as is only 63 cm wide. Don't go for the cheaper less well known brands, Mountain Buggy is high quality, and this pram will last you for all your kids, the one I borrowed was over ten years old and had been thrashed as a pram used in a post natal exercise program too so I'm reassured this one will live up to it's predecessor's quality. Fits in the boot of the car easy (I have a small car) and you don't have to remove the seat. You can use a baby capsule with the frame or a little scooter for a toddler too. Very clever. I got mine on their online store and it was delivered within the week. My cousin has a MB Swift which is now over 6.5 years old and still going strong, her tall 4.5 year old still fits in it with heaps of room. I should have taken her advice and not wasted my time with the other brand and just got the MB. I got the Urban as I live in an area without many foot paths and go on long walks and it handles it well. Oh and the handle goes up to 117 cm high which is amazing. I'm 5'8" or 173.5 cm tall and found the high handle does wonders for your back and shoulders on those long rambling walks, the others prams on the market go to about 105 cm tall which is fine around the mall but for someone my height or taller, you need a hugest handle on long walks.Similar opinion?

It is a wonderful stroller.
It is a great stroller, very comfortable and one of very few that older children can comfortably sleep in after the age of 2. It is wide enough, has a great canopy coverage. It is very sturdy, and great on bumpy roads. We owned it for 3 years and it lasted really well.

Love this pram!
I've owned quite a few prams, and this is by far my favourite!! I just wish it was a tad narrower so it was easier to navigate around the shops.
But all in all, love this pram!!!! So easy to push, great turning circle, nice big seat and big sunhood.
The only other thing is that it's quite heavy and has a large fold. But you can't have everything!!

Wheels out of line, poor service, very expensive tyre replacements (x 3 in two years despite minimal
I have been incredibly disappointed with Mountain Buggy. I checked out all the reviews before we decided to buy the urban jungle, but I've completely changed my opinions. Unfortunately, we made a significant investment and bought the baby cot insert as well.
Basically, the wheels are out of line and we keep having to buy new tyres (no, condescending sales person, we're not pumping the tyres up too much). I just spent over $100 on three new tyres, for the third time in two years, despite minimal use (my child is in childcare four days, plus ...Read more
we usually carry her or she walks unless we're going on a longer walk). Then, this morning, another flat. I am 36 weeks pregnant, I need to go shopping with my toddler, and today, as a once off, I really need a pram. Last time we complained, it took nearly a month for them to deliver new wheels. Given it's the wheel alignment, and not the wheels that is the problem, I wasn't super impressed. Such a hassle and a waste of money.1 comment
