Mountain Buggy Has Made Some Upgrades
Mountain Buggy has finally put out their new 2008 models. Most items with the exception of some 2008 accessories are available for shipment now. Mountain Buggy made some minor changes compared to the 2007 models. The new 2008 models come equipped with new labeling, a new global warranty, brake covers, cup holders, and some new colors have been added...charcoal and Khaki in the Urban Standard line up.
Mountain Buggy has always provided a very rugged, well done all-terrain stroller. Bad news is their prices have jumped dramatically from 2007. Yes, the prices of commodities have spiked, but the Mountain Buggy stroller is not as affordable as it once was and it will be very hard to compete with other strollers in its class such as BOB and Baby Jogger. For example, the single Urban Elite double stroller for 2007 was a whopping $799.00 and now for 2008 a double whopping $899.00!!!
I for one can not afford this stroller. I also believe the upgrades can not justify the price hike, but you can come to your own conclusions. In my opinion find the 2007 strolles while they are still available.
