Mountain Buggy Joey attachment for Duet stroller

admin — Tue, 08 May 2012 15:36:06 +0000

The Mountain Buggy Joey is a unique addition designed to extend the time you’ll get out of your Mountain Buggy Duet stroller! Once your older child outgrows the double stroller, the Joey kit sits in place of that seat, converting your double stroller into a single stroller with massive cargo area!

Because the Duet stroller is only 25 inches wide; about the width of a full-size standard single stroller; it’s still convenient to use as a single on your daily needs.

The Joey will be available in June 2012 and is sold separately from the Duet stroller.

10. Maybe it will qualify for an energy efficiency tax credit sometime soon.

9. You may tell your grandchildren, “Believe it or not, I pushed your parent in a 4Moms Origami stroller that could only fold/unfold itself! They didn’t start hovering until much later.”

8. Take it to Epcot at Disneyworld and make half the exhibits look obsolete.

7. Get eight strollers, put them in a row, blast some tunes, and push all the open/close buttons like crazy until the song ends. Then post your soon-to-be famous video on YouTube for the world’s first unaccompanied stroller line dancing.

6. Tone your thumb muscles a tiny bit at a time when you push that easy little button to fold your stroller.

5. You get to tell your husband, “Well, we got that 4Moms Origami stroller you thought was so neat. I should be able to buy [insert frilly, pretty, fragrant, styling object here].”

4. Lost your phone charger? Hook the phone up to Origami and walk around the neighborhood.

3. Make the other boys and girls in playgroup drool over your kid’s cool ride.

2. When all else fails to soothe, the opening and closing stroller will entertain your baby.
