We've been using this stroller since our son was a newborn and it's amazing. It's multifunctionality shouldn't be overlooked:
1) If you buy the capsule clip, you can slot your capsule right in. Very handy if your baby is sleeping.
2) Use with the bassinet attachment
3) Use as is
The buggy is durable and rugged yet chic (if that makes sense!). We also had a phil&ted's but prefer the Mountain Buggy ten times over.

bought this stroller three years ago. now that we have two children i am looking at the double. i LOVE my mountain buggy. we lived in down town chicago for the first two years we had this stroller. we could walk to everything we needed so we didn't even keep our car in the city so i used this stroller everyday for everything. i abused and misused it and it still held up great. for instance the roomy under storage combined with the shopping bag strap near the handle bar held groceries for a family of four at least once a week for two years i'm positive i surpassed the weight limit many times. when i wasn't carting around my shopping it very easily held all baby supplies and frequently family picnic lunches.

Our son is now 7 months old and we have completely worn away one of the tires so that the steel belting is showing through and is now flat - we will have to order a relacement. Another thing is that the shade doen't completely lay flush to the frame when in the up (normal) position - there have been a few times that my son has wedged his hand between the frame and the shade's support bar in a painful way. I would say that overall it is a very goog stroller, however, I wish 3.5 stars was an option - for the price I was... Read more
