Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle V3
The Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle V3 is the third generation of the flagship Urban Jungle. The Jungle V3 won a gold medal in the New Zealand OHbaby Awards. It is a three-wheel, mid-size all-rounder with a high weight capacity. Compared to the previous version, the V3 chassis is shorter by 10,5 cm, and 13 cm more compact after folding. The fold of the V3 is one-handed. Thanks to the well-balanced center of gravity, the stroller makes popping up curbs a breeze. The large, air-filled wheels can handle all sorts of terrain and even a light jogging. The brake is simplified and located on the handlebar. The locking mechanism of the swivel wheels is also easier to use. The shopping basket is divided into sections and comes with pockets, great for better organization. On the chassis, you can also find a fabric bottle holder with an extra pocket for bits and pieces.
The non-reversible seat is spacious and thanks to the high weight capacity, it can handle even an older child. The belts of the renewed five-point safety harness need to be added into the buckle individually. The length and the height of the shoulder straps as well as of the buckle strap can be fully adjusted. The seat can be reclined flat, suitable even for small babies. The leg rest can be now lifted up too, and the bumper bar is also adjustable. The hood with the sun visor features an improved viewing window with magnetic closures.
If you wish to use the Urban Jungle V3 from birth, there is an option to attach either a car seat, a soft insert cocoon carrycot or the new Carrycot Plus. The Carrycot Plus can be used in three ways. The Carrycot Plus can be used in three ways. Apart from the lie-flat option, you can attach the carrycot textiles differently to achieve an inclined mode, perfect for babies suffering from reflux. By using a different fabrics set, it can also be converted to a rear-facing bucket-type seat, which is an excellent transition between carrycot and forward-facing seat. Instead of the Carrycot Plus, the soft insert carrycot Cocoon can be used. Among other accessories, there is also an option to purchase the Freerider scooter that can be added to the chassis as a sibling board, a snack tray that can be attached into the bumper bar, winter skis for the front wheel, or a travel bag with wheels, protecting the stroller on your journeys. The Urban Jungle V3 was also released in limited editions - the Year of Monkey (2016), the Year of Rooster (2017) or the Year of the Dog (2018), each including a matching seat liner.

Parent reviews of the Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle V3
Your questions about the Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle V3
I love this buggy. It’s amazing. I would really like to get one. We are planning on relocating to the countryside and we live long walks. However, we currently live in London and I have a Fiat 500.
Is there any way this would fit into the boot?
Hey, Nicola,
The Fiat 500 should have a boot's min. length of 102 cm, and height 89.6 cm. Meaning this stroller, folded (90 cm x 63 cm x 33 cm) should fit, but it will of course not be a smooth, super easy fit. I believe for an easier fit, you will have to remove the wheels, and yeah, the best would be to try it first to be totally sure. But I believe the stroller will fit, though with a Fiat 500, you will always be struggling a bit.
Another approach is to have a small buggy just for the car, and this one for your everyday walks.
