The measurement open between the front of the front wheel (tucked under) and the back of the back wheel is approx 87cms. Open length with the wheels tucked under and the handlebar straight out ie maximum length is approx 117cms.

Yes, there are quite a few reviews on here now from people who have a Duet. What would you like to know?

Hi, Has anyone actually got a duet yet? I’m keen but have some questions particularly about the folded (with wheels) dimensions. Thanks.

Hi, the measurement I have for the seat back is 50cms from the back of the seat to the top of the seat.
Length isn’t usually given by Mountain Buggy or Phil&Teds. I guess it partly depends on where you have the handlebar!
I am hoping to get my Duet in a few days time so I can then take the length measurement for you and will take photos of my children in the seats.

How tall is the seat back? Would it fit older kids? What is.the measurement from back wheels to front wheels? I can find height of floor to handlebars and width but not length. Thanks.

I must reiterate, at first I was told that the Swift carrycots would fit but whilst I think they are probably a similar size the fixings are quite different on one side. They are specific Duet carrycots. If you look at this: https://www.bestbuggy.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Duet-Essentials.jpg it shows what is shared and what isn’t. The Swift carrycot fixes using two clips either side. The Duet carrycot has clips on one side and a slider on the other.
Its good that the Buggypod will fit.

Thank you.
I spoke with the peppermint sales assistant and she said that because the DUET chassis is like swift chassis just a bit smaller the buggypod smorph would fit. Also she mentioned that swift carry cots are matching DUET. That is strange as I read in many places that those will be different.

Just to add, we now know that the Duet carrycots are NOT the same as the Swift ones. The Duet has its own carrycots with a central bar connector which the Swift carrycots do not have.

Hi, until the Duet arrives, I don’t think anyone will know what will attach or where. The only stroller board that I know will definitely fit is the Freerider scooter.

Would any of you have an idea if I could attach the buggypod smorph to DUET? I will have twins soon, but have 18 months old who does not want walk that much yet when out.
