Reviews for phil&teds sport buggy

When I was pregnant with my second child, I did a lot of research for a double stroller. I couldn't find one that I liked better that this one, so we just bit the bullet and bought the Sport Buggy. Let me tell you- it was worth EVERY penny- well- every dollar!!! I have used it traveling, cruising the mall, as well as running- and I haven't had ANY problems at all! I love it, and have told everyone that if they plan on having more than one child, that it would be silly to buy any other stroller! I wish I would have known about it when I bought a single jogger for my first son! My kids now are 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 and they both love it too!!! Can't say enought about it, it really is a fantastic stroller!!!

I shopped and shopped for a double stroller. I had heard great things about this stoller but tried to find something cheeper. I finally sucked it up and bought it. I am so glad i did. It is so smooth and turns so sharp. I have a toddler and a infant and i can't say enough good things about it. One more thing i have a kia sportage and it fits nicely, also fits in the trunk of a car.

This is a fantastic stroller. I've read the reviews and every complaint is because the owners are not doing it right. If you take the time to figure out each attachement and how the stroller works this thing is amazing. Even better with two kids. You do need to keep the tires inflated or else it can get hard to push but when they are inflated the stroller is super light.

I don't know why I got fixated on this stroller but I had to buy online ( we live in the middle of nowhere) so I did a ton of research and really liked what I heard about this. Needless to say I could definitely have spent my money more wisely. This stroller is fine for cruising the mall - which we rarely do, and for tall parents, though I am 5'10" and my husband 6'3" and it still isn't great for a long stride like when running. I guess if you had two kids in a stroller this might be good but I don't. My son seems to sit to low in the seat and I can't get the back straight up and down enough where he could actually see well. My son is 1 year old, approx. 25lbs. I wish I would have gotten a BOB, a Kolcraft Jeep Overland or a Schwinn and have considered trying to sell this but I know I will lose money. Please really consider your purchase and don't just by the brand.

AWESOME stroller, pushes great. after awhile you get used to the brake system, it is stiff at first. worth the price

We are replacing our single BOB SUS D'lux with this stroller b/c we have a 2 year-old and are expecting a baby. We live in a small city in Montana and use our stroller daily for a combination of walking to shops, library, and on trails and in parks. Performance-wise, this stroller is way way way below the BOB SUS. The frame is clicky (the handlebars wobble) and the small wheels leave a lot to be desired when it comes to snowbanks and trails, etc. The sport title is a joke--you will never jog with this stroller. I am 5'8" and my feet hit the rear axle as I walk. The BOB has a lot more (and more convenient) storage. However, the doubles kit is clever and there really isn't anything else like it on the market. Our 2 year-old climbed right into it in both positions. I anticipate using the doubles kit in the rear well before baby#2 is 6 months--the seat really is too small for our 2 year-old for more than just quick trips around town. You wouldn't want any child so low to the ground in any kind of snowy winter. Ultimately, I anticipate purchasing a used double jogger with 16 or 20 inch wheels as a winter stroller and keeping this one for when we have to go inside, travel, and summertime.

A great double buggy if you have a toddler and a new baby. Our toddler was plenty old enough to walk and could walk for miles IF he wanted to. However with the terrible twos and general insecurity of becoming a big brother we needed the option of being able to push him/strap him in if he was refusing to go anywhere - and this works well. It is really flexible if you get the doubles kit. We got the cocoon for the baby and if you use the pram alone that means you can lie the baby flat facing you. If you use it with the toddler as well they kind of sit on top of the baby - but both are very comfortable. We have also used it with just the baby in the main seat reclined - it reclines to a flat position which is great when they are little. We have also used it with the doubles seat on the back. It says to only put baby in from 6 months but as the new doubles seat reclines then she was fine from 3 months but is a big baby. She fitted in the cacoon until 4 months (but was 18 pounds at 4 months and growing out of 6 - 9 month sleepsuits). Toddler is a tall heavy boy - he is 2.5 years now and fits fine in the main seat. He wouldnt really fit in the back seat and was slightly awkward looking in the front doubles seat but ok. However he wears size 3 - 4 clothes and is growing out of those (I have big babies!) so most toddlers would be fine. The first time the toddler saw it he shouted my new buggy, wow and climbed in! Strangers often comment on it as its so compact and lovely looking. Can be pushed with one hand. Light for a double - easy to put in boot of car Folds easily once you know how to do it Can be pushed easily around shops and through doors unlike some doubles. Downsides - very few. Some people think baby is too close to floor in doubles mode but I dont think so. Straps are a bit flimsy and cheap looking but do the job. The brake leaver seems a bit flimsy and is difficlt to put on but again does the job. Cannot hang your shopping from the handle (but maybe a good thing). Once baby is bigger there is little room for shopping but you can get blazing saddles buggy pannier bags for it.

Ughhh....I was so excited about getting the 2008 Phil & Ted's SP, then it arrived at my home.....the idea is great but the workmanship is surely not. What a concept to have four different ways to carry the tot(s) around but try putting the brake on - not easy and near impossible with a little one in the doubler seat or if you have shoes or boots on! It's great that there are different adjustments to put a tot down to nap, but try putting him or her back in an upright position! It's really not easy, and very cumbersome and jarring for the little one. One of the worst bits of workmanship was the design for folding the stroller. There is no way you're going to be able to do it without chewing up the push handle as there is barely a way to do it without scraping it on the ground. The tiny, and I emphasize tiny, buttons you have to hold and turn and push in to fold it is another real winner. Speaking of tiny, the fasteners on the harness are made for a child's fingers, not adults. This stroller is full of tiny, flimsy plastic parts that will surely break and a fabric foot step that has no way of being taken off to be cleaned (think of muddy shoes - yikes!). The double seat now has a reclined position, one that once is reclined will leave your child hitting their head on the bar. Try putting the seat in the toddler front position and their head will be hitting the sun canopy. For a VERY expensive stroller this should have been made with more quality and with plain old better thinking and design!!! We're going to try a Bob as we've seen good reviews for their strollers. Bottom line, this stroller is a fabulous idea, but in reality the stroller just isn't worth a dollar until MANY kinks are worked out, better materials are used and a better design is implemented. What a HUGE disappointment!
