Mountain Buggy Carrycot for Duet, Black

The Mountain Buggy Carrycot for Duet has received a mixed reception among parents and caregivers. While many appreciate the innovative design that offers a side-by-side option for twins, practicality and overall quality have been points of contention. One of the primary concerns echoes throughout the reviews: the hoods. Numerous users report that they struggle to keep the hoods securely in place, which detracts from the overall usability. The hoods frequently pop off, leading to frustration and the need for additional solutions, like adding Velcro. Another significant drawback mentioned is the difficulty in detaching and reattaching the carrycots. Parents highlighted that jostling the carrycot to detach it from the stroller often disturbs their sleeping baby. The cumbersome process of taking both carrycots off when driving and hassle involved in attaching them again at the destination significantly limits the convenience factor. Some reviews do note that when converted to parent-facing seats, the usability drops further, with the seats described as uncomfortable and impractical. The design makes it awkward to fasten babies into the seats due to the obstruction from the stroller's handlebar, further amplifying the challenges associated with the carrycot. On the flip side, there are positive remarks on the carrycot’s padding and its suitable size for long, skinny babies. Parents have appreciated the aesthetic benefits of pairing the carrycot with the Duet stroller, often noting that it provides scenic photo opportunities during outings. In summary, the Mountain Buggy Carrycot for Duet presents a blend of practicality and inconvenience. While it offers an appealing side-by-side bassinet option, parents are often left wishing for improvements in functionality, particularly regarding the hoods and attach/detach process. **
