Phil and Ted's Sport Double Strollers —
As a mother of four (which include a 2 year old and a newborn), this is by far the best heavy duty stroller I've ever owned. The design is amazing. I first saw a Phil and Ted's double stroller at a children's museum and absolutely had to find out the brand, it is by far the most compact double stroller on the market. The look is sleek and so is the function, you don't feel like you need a "wide load" sign attached to it while you're running it down the sidewalk or between the aisles of a grocery store. The manueverability is excellent, you can turn it easily with one hand if needed, which it's almost alway needed! The brakes are easy to engage and are solid, the wheels are large and can handle bumpy terrain, I especially like the option of a stationary or rotating front wheel. The frame is strong and can handle my tired six year old as easily as it can handle my two year old or newborn. It is the Swiss Army knife of strollers. The top seat with the adapter bar can handle almost any brand of carseat. It can also flatten out fully so that you can lay a newborn down completely prone. The bottom seat doesn't have to stay on the bottom, it can be mounted with adapters above the main seating area, providing a higher perch for your toddler. This is our usual form of travel with the two year old happily up on his perch and our newborn tucked away beneath him. When your finished, it folds away easily with the push of a couple levers on either side of the frame. Watch out though, pinching a finger or two can happen easily if you're hold the frame the wrong way. You can pay a pretty penny for these conveniences though. Everything's an extra with a Phil and Ted stroller. The second seat cost extra, the adapters cost extra, the carseat bar cost extra! There's a lot of accessories you can buy for this stroller, little bundlers for baby, a sun and bug screen (yup, bought that extra too) and it can really add up, this is not a cheap stroller to begin with. And for all the bells and whistles, there are no cup holders. I don't think of this as the stroll-through-the-mall-with-an-espresso-drink-in-the cup-holder kind of stroller. This is a work horse, it'd survive a marathon, it'll go the distance with these last two kids of ours and still have a good resale value.
