Mountain Buggy over the years has always been known for being a highly durable all terrain stroller.  From the Urban Jungle, the Duo, the Swift, the Duet and now the + One, the new owners of Mountain Buggy, Phil & Teds, have done a phenomenal job in adding strollers to the Mountain Buggy line up.  Its newest addition, the + One, is a force to be reckoned with .

I played around with the Mountain Buggy + One and have nothing but good things to say about it.  When first setting it up, as I personally hate using instructions but have set up quite a few strollers, did not have that much of a problem.   For the most part, it sets up just like the Mountain Buggy Urban Single, but as it is sitting on the same frame, it should.  It has 12 inch air filled wheels, so it can handle all the bounces the terrain provides.  Once in the single mode, it is a solid single stroller and will hold up to 75 lbs for a single child.   I like the fact that it also comes with a bassinet that you can use for an infant from day one as well.   

As your family gets older, a simple conversion changes the stroller to an inline double.  This is where I have to admit that I had to use the instruction manual just a little, but it was my first time, so I guess that is acceptable.   However, it was still very easy to set up the second seat.   Just add the second seat insert into the back of the stroller (and be sure that all the ties are in correctly), unzip the foot rest on the bottom of the stroller, and you are all set to go.  Took me an additional 10 minutes to figure out, but now that I know, the stroller can be easily converted much faster.  For 2 kids, the stroller will hold up to 80 lbs, less than the Mountain Buggy Duo, but you can easily maneuver between the narrow spots much easier.

The Mountain Buggy + One also has a expandable canopy that allows both seats to be covered also allowing for good ventilation.   I actually did a test with my 5 year old daughter and her 6 year old friend, and while this funny pair were both a little too big (size wise) to be using the stroller, we took a cruz to get some lunch and they had a great time.   What I found is that even with about 95 to 100 lbs of girls in the stroller, it was still very easy to push, to turn, to go up a step, and just to overall get around. But as the weight limit for this stroller technically holds up to 80 pounds, we do not recommend overloading the stroller. 

Also now with the optional attachment of the Mountain Buggy Freerider, you could actually push 3 kids around if you needed to.   Priced at $649.99, it is the perfect investment for the new parents looking to make one investment that will last them, the parents looking to expand their family, or those that want a solid inline all terrain double, the only one of its kind.  My hats off to you Mountain Buggy, as this is one of the best strollers I have seen on the market yet.  You can purchase the Mountain Buggy + One  and all Mountain Buggy Strollers and Accessories on our website, www.hipbabygear.com.
