Hi all


Although I have seen the thread explaining why not to buy a Phil & Teds, I think I am going to buy one anyway as I think its the best solution for me. I am going to try and get one second hand.


I am bewildered however at the range of Phil & Teds out there e.g. Verve, Vibe, Explorer, Sport etc. I have looked at comparison websites and the Phil & Ted website and I am still confused. Would EDF Phil & Teds owners (who like their buggies) be able to tell me which one they have and whether they rate it.


Many thanks


Lindsay

Well, I love my explorer 3.


I did a year of my baby in sling and single push chair and buggy board. Now having the double buggy I feel, quite literaly a weight of my shoulders!! It's great, the todler has the rear seat "just in case' ie when she's tred or I want her to be in a contained place. The now 13 month old, has the front seat.


I think you have to look at the strengths and drawsbacks of the different models- Beware if buying 2nd hand you are not buying a really old model. The newer ones have resolved a lots of 'problems'- like a easier position of the brakes etc.

In two seat mode for children who don't really need to sleep in the buggy anymore I think the phil and ted's are just great, if a little heavy up kerbs. They are not bad in baby toddler mode either.


The explorer is the newest 'standard' model 9Sport/dash/E3 all older). It folds with the add on seat removed, but the add on seat does fold fairly flat. It is not a small fold, even with the wheels off. I believe the verve and vibe fold in one.


Have you looked at the Britax B dual? It is pretty big/wide but I know some people rate it and it is much more affordable than the icandy tandems.

Thanks all - for some reason I thought they all folded with the second seat on... so I think its just the vibe and verve then? I am so stressed re the double buggy decision - I had planned to do what you said echo and sling with a single buggy for the first year, but I found carrying my little one really hard on my back last time so I can't see its going to be easier with a toddler to push!

    • Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place... 
    • No need to provoke you since you respond constantly to everything. It is not a gross exaggeration - I took photos. Do you not like people answering back? A bit head girl aren't you. Unkempt roads and weed-lifted pavements with dog faces bags all over the place - when the blue bags, which are regularly not collected by the LA, are split open by foxes. Again, I have photos.
    • Came across this link today that generates a stock letter to you MP if you object to the Proposed chases in their current format.  https://takingthepip.co.uk/write-to-your-mp/#letter Again, not trying to change individuals minds on here but get a fair consultation and discussion  Only thing to remember is add your contact number to the bottom.orherwise it is ignored
