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 think 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 Mountain Buggy Urban Elite (*est. $650) also gets good reviews and boasts some extra features like a fleece liner, extra padding and matching diaper bag. Still, 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 the British consumer testing magazine Which? Cookie magazine also tests this all-terrain stroller and rates it on three criteria. As usual, "Baby Bargains" provides a useful source of information; they review the stroller briefly, and provide detailed coverage of the Mountain Buggy brand in general.

Review: Jogging Strollers, Catherine Coreno, Oct. 2008
In this brief review, the editors of Baby-Gaga.com call the Mountain Buggy Urban Single stroller a "standout product" for its durable build, all-terrain ability, light weight and ease of folding, but also note that it's expensive and not meant for jogging.
