Hi!

Coming from Oslo to live in Melbourne in a short while. Wondering if it is possible to get one of those Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle buggies somewhere in Melbourne??

In Norway the brand (made in New Zealand) is called One Three Hill (in the US; Mountain Buggy) and looks like this:

Yes you can buy them in Australia - very popular. (One Tree Hill is a famous hill in New Zealand by the way!)
They are called the Mountain Buggy Urban and normally retail for about $700 although you can get them second hand cheaper especially if you watch for auctions on www.ebay.com.au - quite a few come up for Melbourne and from my experience in visiting Melbourne it is one of the prams of choice there! The colours will be a bit different from those available in Europe but they are still the best pram you can get ( a consumer magazine that tests things found that it was the only one that passed all the safety tests they set.)

Good news!!:D

Anyone who knows where in Melbourne/which stores to get them?
700 AUD isn't exactly cheap, but believe it or not - they are even more expensive in Norway...

Draught, I was just telling someone exactly that in the pram advice thread. Maybe you should duck in over there. :)
