About Mountain Buggy
In a case of true Kiwi ingenuity, a couple of fitness fanatical parents designed a stroller that could go off-road in all sorts of environments, without compromising the safety of the child. They called their invention the Terrain and in 1992 the first Mountain Buggy® was born.
