The Mountain Buggy Urban Single has been discontinued and replaced by the Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle (*Est. $500). Although it's expensive, reviewers say the Mountain Buggy Urban Single all-terrain stroller is worth it -- these strollers are durable and built to last. Owners say the Mountain Buggy Urban rides smoothly on trails, gravel or sidewalks, and a swiveling front wheel makes for easier maneuvering. The front wheel can also be locked for better off-road stability. Reviewers love the height-adjustable handlebar, which is a feature that is surprisingly hard to find on all-terrain and jogging strollers. What sets the Mountain Buggy Urban apart from most other three-wheeled strollers is its fully reclining seat, which makes it appropriate for newborns, and its high 77-pound weight limit. The BOB Revolution (*Est. $390) receives better reviews overall, and it's significantly cheaper. In 2009, the manufacturer of Mountain Buggy declared bankruptcy, and phil&teds purchased the company. Although phil&teds has declared their admiration for the Mountain Buggy brand, there may be some changes to the line later this year.
The Mountain Buggy Urban Single receives detailed coverage from Which?, the British consumer testing magazine. Cookie magazine also tests this all-terrain stroller and rates it on three criteria. The authors of one top baby gear book also provide useful information; they review the stroller briefly, and provide detailed coverage of the Mountain Buggy brand in general.

In this thorough review, illustrated with 25 pictures, StrollersAndPrams.com gives the Mountain Buggy Urban Single high marks for its all-terrain ability, easy one-hand steering, comfortable seat and easy fold. However, the editors note that the seat is a bit shallow and extra accessories add to the already high price.
