First, apologies if this is in the wrong place / there is information on this somewhere already.
We are debating between the Urban or Terrain Mountain buggy. DH likes the Terrain but I'm worried it's too chunky and wouldn't fit in shops / cafes etc. Is anyone who has one of these models able to shed some light? Thanks :) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I am certain both will fit through all doorways as I am yet to find a shop that my double MB does not fit through.
Have you had a look at the MB website I found it really good when making the decision between duo or duet models it basically had all the specs side by side for comparison. happy shopping |

I purchased both urban and terrain this year. Urban for shopping, terrain for running and other adventures.
The terrain is awesome for everything, we love the suspension and the double bottle holders and the mesh covered bag under neath and the hand brake. All things the urban doesn't have. There was a few cooler things we liked on the terrain better. And we bought both brand new. We ended up selling the urban in tm because I used the terrain for everything. Didn't noticed any places where I could fit urban but not Terrain. Only thing about taking shopping is the terrain has the bigger wheels makes me feel like a 4x4 driver on the road. Oh but I get over it! Lol. Bigger problem was my wheels were always dirty! More embarrassed by that!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I love my terrain!!!!! Main reason we got it was cos we live on a farm and for walks down gravel roads etc, has great suspension!!!! Love the big wheels dont think I could ever down size to a smaller wheeled buggy now......it gets through everything. And like others have mentioned mountain buggy website is great, Terrain fits in all shops I have found that are buggy friendly.....in saying that some shops dont cater for buggys fullstop!! LOVE LOVE this buggy!!!! P.S you do get used to the bigger wheels and they pop off easy as ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yea, as Caughtknee said the wheels pop off easy as on Terrain. It is awesome handy for extra space in the boot of your car. Urban doesn't do that.
Oh so love Terrain, just wish they would bring it out in a double for when have two kids! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Thanks so much for the feedback, that's really helpful.
Looks like DH will get his way and we'll go for the Terrain! While on the topic of Mountain Buggies - does anyone know if an older carry cot would be compatible with a new buggy? I've got my eye on a couple on Trade me  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

smw85-me too would love if they made it compatabile for another seat, I see they have the +one out now, but I still dont think it would be as gruntier buggy as the terrain nor as comfy!!! Minipig might pay to check on that one, I think on the website they have a page saying whats compatabile for what....not sure if the old ones fit the new buggies now . ------------- http://lilypie.com">
