Phil & Ted's Double Advice

Hi,
We bought a PT double stroller a couple years ago right before my son was born. It's the one with the convertible seat/infant carrier and the seat that goes either down low or on top. We LOVE it - my daughter is 3 1/2 and son will be 2 in April and we still use it. The kids and we have done fine with it - easy to maneuver; very compact/easy to transport. My son didn't like the infant part, but we just attached the infant car carrier and it was great. Good luck!

We have the e3 with double seat (it is 1 or 2 generations ago), and I love it. Super easy to navigate up and down curbs, etc, and in places like the bookstore. I've only used it as a single or in two-toddler mode, never in the flat "baby" mode. I wish the sport had been out when were were shopping. The ability to recline the backseat and adjust the handle would have been nice.

Hi...love mine!!!! I would do it all over again, I just love all the different configurations... it was so easy and helpful. I bought it three years ago so there were no covers over the rear tires. It fortunately was not a problem with my little one, but I could see how little fingers would want to touch the tires. Now they come with the tires covered. I so recomend it!!!!!!

We have an e3 buggy - is that the same one you're talking about? I really like it. So far we've only used it for our son but I am really looking forward to it when our next one is born in May. I think it's really easy to maneuver, to fold and unfold, and what I especially like is how narrow it is - even compared to another single stroller. I never have any problems getting in and out of a store, but I see other moms pushing side by side strollers and it looks like they're pushing a tank. I think the convertible idea is so neat. I give this stroller an A +!

Dear A., to obtain an unbiased view you could purchase a copy of the Baby Bargains book from any good book store. They rate Phil & Ted an overall A- in the book. You might also like to look at the Valco - they have a good write up and graded an A.
Kind Regards

Have it. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Head and shoulders above any other stroller I've used, and I've used a lot. I live in the city so I need the big wheels for unplowed sidewalks and smoother riding, but the narrowness for stores. I seriously have no complaintes about this stroller. The bag may scrape a little on curbs, but I haven't had a problem with the second seat. The second seat is not very useful unattached from the stroller.

A., I have the Phil and Ted's Sport with Doubles Kit and cacoon. I absolutely love it. It does not seem that heavy, and the seat is not a problem to install and uninstall.
The new Vibe will retail for $729.00 where the sport retails for $490.00. That's alot more money to pay for one less pound and a seat that will fold down with the stoller.
Both my husband and I feel that the sport is the best choice when you have a toddler and an infant.
If you are interested in the cacoon, I will sell mine for $30.00 (it retails for $60.00) it is in excellent condition. It is red.
(I live in Chicago as well).
