Stress!!/Buggy Feedback

I am so stressed now….a certain store in Silverdale has not only lost our lay-by record for our Mountain Buggy (Urban Elite), they no longer supply Mountain Buggy and do not have one in stock for us! I’m waiting to hear if they can supply one or if we will be getting our money refunded.

The question is now, I’ve been into Mama Mia’s and they have the Terrain on sale for an awesome price but I’m not sure about getting that model now that I’ve been expecting to get the Urban Elite. It is basically and extra $230.00 for the Elite and the main differences being an adjustable handle, deeper storage underneath and a swivel wheel that can also be fixed.

If anyone has any feedback on these two models I’d really appreciate it! (or even feedback on fixed wheel vs swivel wheel options)

Thanks!

fixed wheels arent that great, bad for turning.

i had a mountain buggy and cant wait to get rid of it. they are so wide i have trouble taking it shopping and getting it in and out of the boot. the back support on them arent very good as it is all material. i find too that you dont use them in the beginning as you can keep bub in the capsule for easy transfer and use shopping trolleys or snap and go wheels.

so if i had my time again i would prob look for a good sturdy four wheel stroller.

so thats just my opinion of course.

It depends if you are wanting to save money or get the exact one you want. swivel is easier to use I must admit however I have a duble moutain that is fixed and it seem's fine I better say I have not used it outside the garage tho. when it come's to buggies its a hard one all I can say is if you are not 100% sure then don't buy it.

i have a mother choise three wheeler with a swivel wheel and i love it its the cheep virioson of the three wheelers but just as good and easy to fold but as with all 3-wheeler there are wide so hard to get in the boot

Just wanted to second/third/fourth whatever the SWIVEL wheel!! I am so glad my buggy has it!!

WE got a fixed wheel for our first buggy and it was HORRIBLE. every time you want to turn you have to push down on the back of the buggy to make the front wheel lift off the ground and my mum never got the hang of that so would just wrnech the buggie round sideways and wondered why the clips holding out back wheels on got loose (too much pressure on them) and the wheels would just fall off the back - happened to me once when i was crossing the road - one of the wheels just came right off the back and rolled off towards the middle of the road. i nearly got bowled!

So got with the swivel, seriously.

Well we bit the bullet and are going to stay with the Urban Elite.

We're just annoyed because with the store screwing up and stuffing us around we are now paying $150.00 more for the buggy than what we were meant to pay through them. I am so mad about the whole thing!!!!

Tempting but I'm just as happy to be rid of them!
