One of the best strollers I have owned!, October 11, 2005
Reviewer: Swedish mom from Europe, Sweden
    
Swedish mom saw things this way
Overall Grade   10.00/10  (10)


Pros: Steers super, lighweight, good recline
Cons: Expensive, can't face baby

I had this stroller for my first child and absolutely loved it! It is lightweight, folds compactly and handles great. I used it as my overall stroller and am thinking about buying another (sold the first one) when my baby grows out of the Bugaboo I have for her now.

I have read that some think it's heavy and takes up a lot of space in the trunk, but I must disagree. Here in Europe the MBUS is considered lightweight since most people compare it to the Swedish Emalljunga and Brio and the German Teutonia, there you have heavy and bulky strollers!

I don't like that you have to have the baby facing forward from about 6 months when he/she grows out of the basinet (sp?). Here it is uncommon to have babies facing forward until they are over a year old.

Another negative thing about the MBUS is the price tag. Here it costs 5995 sek, which is equivalent to about 800 USD!

I would recommend tis stroller to everyone!

Love, Love, Love this stroller!, June 12, 2005

Overall Grade   10.00/10  (10)


Pros: Super easy to push, high weight limit, swivel front wheel
Cons: heavy

We love this stroller! My dh jogs with it with our 37 lb. toddler and it works fine. We live on a gravel road and also have a gravel driveway. Our MBUS travels smoothly over such terrain. We were looking for a single stroller that I could walk with and my dh could jog with and found the MBUS to be a great compromise.

Great All-Terrain Stroller!, June 10, 2005
Reviewer: JMarie from Chicago suburbs

Overall Grade   10.00/10  (10)


Pros: This stroller goes over anything and turns on a dime.
Cons: It is heavy and takes up quite a bit of room in a car trunk.

I absolutely love my MBUS! I have taken it with me just about everywhere and there is little it cannot do. Yes, it is big, heavier and wider than the traditional umbrella stroller, but it can handle just about anything you throw at it. It's a comfortable ride for my little boy and a dream to steer for me. I can hang lots of bags from stroller clips on it when we're out shopping and never worry about it tipping. The basket is even a pretty decent size. If I had to live with just one stroller, this would be the one.

Worth every penny! Light weight, simple, and so easy to use!, June 10, 2005

Overall Grade   10.00/10  (10)


Pros: Easy to access the basket even in a full recline.
Cons: No toddler seat upgrade

This was a dream come true for me because I really needed an outdoor stroller but I wasn’t looking forward to compromising on the features I liked about my light weight stroller. The MBUS is one of the smallest outdoor strollers and I feel that I’m not only in more control of the stroller but more in control of baby because he’s so close by. I was able to really customize my stroller with all the optional items available like: Bumper bars, Car Seat adaptors, Carrycots, Kiddy Boards etc. What sold me against the competitors were: light weight, overall size, compact fold, simple to use features, easy steering, top quality construction, full recline, rust proof, convertibility and expandability. I feel that the other competitors I tried out in the store were not what I was looking for in one way or another. Here are some comparable terrain strollers: Zooper’s Zydeco and Boogie: tipping the scales at 31lbs. these were the biggest strollers of the bunch and while they included so many exiting features and fancy extras I felt the fundamental basics of the stroller I was looking for were lost. Not recommended if you lead a suburban lifestyle, but some fun features and styling for rural families. Dreamer Designer’s Manhattan: wasn’t fond of the complicated harness system and LONG footprint of this stroller. It must stick out a good 6ft! This brand is extremely well made and durable so if you have room in the garage and don’t mind the length I would recommend this stroller. Bob Revolution, Fitness Strides: the salesman liked this one a lot but I had to tell him I wasn’t interested because it didn’t have a full recline. Zooper’s Jazz: While refreshingly smaller than its overweight siblings I absolutely hated to push this stroller because of the material that was used for the wheels. Test it out in the store before you buy. Definitely more suitable for a suburbanite. Bumble Ride’s Rocket: It really came down to this and the MBUS. They were both on the smaller side which is what I really needed and the folds were about the same. I really loved the overall style, padded boot insert, and the adj foot rest. This stroller was about average weight 25lbs so if DH wasn’t willing to pay the price for the lighter weight MBUS then we would have ended up with the Bumbleride.

Pros: versitility
Cons: basket smaller, doesnt sit up straight,need 2 hands to close

This stroller is great. Did a lot of research before making the purchase. We were looking for a stroller we could use anywhere. And we can. It is easy to lift in and out of the car. Comfortable for daughter. Been using since day 1 with infant seat attachment. Great on sand and gravel. Sun visor is a good size. So easy to manevour around. This stroller has it all.
