We bought this for our daughter who was born in December '05. I specifically bought something that would make it through the great Canadian Winters. It more than surpassed my expectations. Besides the winters it has been an amazing stroller. I HIGHLY recommend it.Pros
The comfortable ride. Especially going up and down stairs. My friends have a Perego and the cannot tackle the stairs even closely to the way I do.Cons
It's slightly to big for single escalators.And not that I'm ready but they don't make an attachment older sibling seat.
One of the Best All-Terrain Strollers

We bought this pram before our daughter was born after hearing such wonderful things about it. Everyone we knew who had one loved it! We even stopped people in malls and asked them what they liked about it so after a lot of research we decided it would be right for our lifestyle.I am not a huge jogger however we do walk fairly regularly so we needed something that could tackle, grass, gravel, sand, etc. The Urban has never let us down. Supposedly the Terrain model with the fixed wheel performs better on rougher terrain than the Urban but we have used ours on all terrain with no problems. You can either have the front wheel in swivel mode (which we do most of the time) or it can also be fixed. We have found the Urban an absolute dream to push, on virtually any terrain. It has large pneumatic wheels so it glides over everything,
We have found the quality of this pram excellent. It is very solidly built however it is still lightweight enough to pull in and out of the car easily on a regular basis. It has a very secure 5 point harness and strong canvas seat. The sun canopy has a clear viewing window which we have found really useful for checking in on bub.
The Urban is so simple to use and folds flat (but fairly broad)using 2 clips at the front to collapse it. There is a wrist strap which snaps together to hold the pram securely closed so it doesn't flip out when getting it out of the car, etc. Even the grandparents, who are flabbergasted at today's baby devices, have mastered this easily!
The seat reclines to almost flat and is suitable from newborn upwards however if you wanted a completely flat surface then you can buy the Mountain Buggy carrycot to attach. We bought this as an extra and loved it. We travel a lot and used it as a portable bed for the first few months when visiting family, on holiday, etc.
Mountain Buggy also make a lot of accessories such as sun and storm covers, sleeping bag, carseat clip, carrycot, pump, travel bag, etc which can make life easier. I have contacted Mountain Buggy on a couple of occasions regarding a couple of small parts I lost and they were very swift to send me out replacements. Excellent service.
I would recommend this stroller to anyone who needs a single buggy. It is a pity they don't do a toddler seat but if you are buying for your first baby then I would buy it and enjoy it and worry about getting a double later when number two came along.
Pros
*Lightweight but very sturdy*Suitable from newborn till around 4 years old
*Quality construction and fabrics
*Roomy shopping basket
*Very easy to assemble/collapse
*Very easy to push/steer
*Adjustable handle so good for tall or short people
Cons
*Quite bulky when folded so may not fit in all cars*No options at present for a toddler seat
*Accessories all must be purchased seperately and can end up quite costly
