Ridicolous Phil and Teds (explorer) query.

[Ruth_Baldock]

Well, we've done it. We got our Phil and Teds. And the doubles kit and all that gubbins.

I have a problem with folding it and also unfolding it, I don't get iiiiit, it's not faaaaaaaaair. My husband seems to be fine with both but me? Not so much.

When folding it, the website and all people demonstrating it, make it look dead easy. Pull the red button/lever thing, push the button and then pull up- bobs your uncle. It doesn't work like that for me- I do what your meant to do, but I can't get it to fold, and end up practically breaking my hand trying to. My technique must be crap. Or maybe it's really stiff. Or maybe the website lies. I don't know. Has anyone else found it really difficult or am I just an idiot?

I found this when I first got mine(years ago now) But I soon got used to it. You sometimes have to wiggle it (...just a little bit!) and also stay calm because if you are mad and wild it doesnt seem to work...oh and also, not being pregnant helps with the technique.

Being not pregnant DEFINITELY helps. I swore at it and cried yesterday whilst S said 'Mama NO!' over and over again. In the end, a friendly neighbour helped. Ah well, community spirit and all.
