Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a good stroller for my 15 month old for very long walks. I'd also like something that can make it through doorways and down fairly narrow aisles. I've narrowed it down to four...do you have experience with any of these? Phil and Ted's e3, BOB Revolution, Valco Runabout, Mountain Buggy Urban

What can I do next?

We have a Phil and ted's stroller and love it. We purchased it when we found out we were expecting our second child because it can convert into a double. We've used it as a single and double stroller and we love and so do our kids. Our 2 year old loves the view and seems very comfortable for long rides. The straps are padded and hold her in place very well (she loves to fasten them herself). The best feature of the phil and ted's is the handling. You can easily push it with one handed (so you can hold a coffee in the other hand!) and narrow enough that it fits where most other double strollers don't -- especially the narrow asiles in a lot of department stores and boutiques. The makers say that this stroller isn't for jogging but it does do very well "off road" on grass and even on sand.

The only down side to this stroller is storage. It does not come with drink holders and when you have it set up as a double stroller, there really isn't much room to store a diaper bag or other gear. We solved the problem by purchasing a "Bob Console" to hold drinks and other small items and we've also learned to pack a bit lighter.

let me know if you have any other questions.

hi! We purchased the Go Go Babyz Urban Advantage Stroller and love it. It is very manuverable, easy to fold, and has a pivot front wheel, which is great. They have a website, but we got ours new in box on Ebay. Good Luck!

I *love* my Phil and Teds E3. It is awesome for serious walking - handles bumps etc. easily and steers well, but it is also very easy to maneuver into stores and doorways etc. Very happy with it!

I have the Mountain Buggy Urban Double and I absolutely love it. I can push both children with one hand and talk on my cell with the other. The air tires with a swivel front wheel makes this a great stroller. I would be lost without this stroller. Great for walking on any kind of terrain.
