What owners single out
The brake system emerges as the weakest aspect for buyers, echoing video reviewers' concerns about the brake pedal's awkward design and durability.
In their words
“This is the best stroller ever. It can be used with an infant seat too. I love the fact that it lays flat which is great for naps or diaper changes on the go. It folds really compact as well.”
Elise · verified purchase · albeebaby.com
“I bought a Mountain Buggy Nano in February 2020 and have hardly used it and the break pedal as cracked making it very had to unlock the brake. Took it back for a warranty claim in May and Mountain Buggy reject the claim stating that we used too much excessive force. I would not recommending buying this product or from Mountain Buggy as their warranty is not worth the paper it's printed on.”
