Mountain Buggy is proud to be part of the phil&teds
Buggies for Good programme
we’re going great guns at mountain buggy!
Actually we’re going better than ever before. The last six months have been busy, really busy, and we want to tell you just what has been going on.
We were rapt that our close neighbours, phil&teds most excellent buggy company, took us over which has meant that we’ve been able to continue operating out of Wellington, New Zealand. YEEHAA!
So we’re still creating jobs here with 90% of a product’s development lifecycle remaining in New Zealand: research and development, design, marketing, finance, sales, logistics and operations. The need for mountain buggy to be commercially viable led us to move the manufacturing to phil&teds best in class (ISO 9001) facilities in China.
Some bold decisions have had to be made to get the business back on its feet and there hasn’t been a lot of sleep, much less time to read the latest snow report and head for the mountains. We’ve been hard at work rationalising the range, enhancing our great products, developing phenomenal new ones and developing a new look and feel to the brand.
So we’ve been all go, and we haven’t even scratched the surface. So keep your ears to the ground and eyes peeled for our updates as they roll off the press.
Mountain Buggy trumps consumer test
The consumer magazine put seven three-wheel strollers through their paces using families to road test them, take them up and down steps, along city streets, across rough terrain, and up and down hills.
The result? Mountain Buggy urban jungle scored top. The users noted several key reasons:
- folded and unfolded easily
- handled rough terrain well
- most stable buggy
In addition to the user trials, the buggies were assessed on their construction and undertook performance tests. Mountain Buggy urban jungle scored a perfect 10 in the safety tests.
The swift, urban jungle and duo designs have hit the shop floor boasting a new brand and design; engineered for the mountains, designed for the city. These phenomenal designs are built to adapt to the environment. Life without limit – that’s Mountain Buggy.
cool people out and about with their mountain buggy
Whether its autumn in Tennessee or spring in Australia, Nicole, Keith and little Sunday Rose are out with their mountain buggy in all terrains!
Our Golden Girl Sarah is the proud mum of Lily and owner of a Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle:
"The urban jungle is just PERFECT!! It’s already been used in earnest and the wee newborn bassinet is now officially Lily’s new road-trip bed (which will actually be used more these days than her bassinet at home!) ....... EVERYone that has used the buggy .... comments on how awesome it is to use! It’s incredible – it makes you want to go for a stroll it’s that user-friendly!"
