New Mountain Buggy Swift

I am a big fan of the Mountain Buggy, so I was excited to discover that they are adding a new member to the Mountain Buggy family, The Swift.

The swift is to be released in Australia later this year, the 1st of December 2008. Further details on pricing are not yet available, and I will keep you posted on this.

The new Mountain Buggy Swift will be previewed at the Melbourne Baby Expo in a couple of weeks.

What is so exciting about the Mountain Buggy Swift?

Mountain buggy has offered the Breeze for years now, for families wanting a more compact version Mountain Buggy. Although it is a good compact stroller, it doesn't compare the the urban range with its front swivel wheel (although bigger). I have wished Mountain Buggy would make a compact version of the Urban for years now. My wishes have come true with the new Swift.

Key features:

• 10 inch air-filled tyres for a smooth ride
• The swivel front wheel and compact design are perfect for navigating busy streets and narrow aisles.
• Quick release wheels and push-in axles make the Swift especially compact to pack, handle and store
• At just 9.5kg (21lbs), Swift is easy to handle without compromising on build quality.
  Includes a large storage tray and handy zip pocket bag.
• The five-point safety harness is fully adjustable and with the full-recline hammock makes the buggy suitable from newborn to toddler.
• A stormcover and new zip-in suncover are available

Measurements
Folded length: 96.5cm, (38in)

I have not road tested it yet, so I can not comment on this new product from personal experience. However if it is of the same quality as the rest of their range, I do not think we will be disappointed.
