Finally found one I love!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

After many many strollers, I finally have settled on one I love! I started with the bulky Graco travel system when my daughter was born, then went to Peg Perego which I love. When my second child was born I had to get a double and we went with a Graco......hated it! The wheels fell off and it was bulky! When my third was on his way it was time for a new double. I found out about the Phil and Teds and went for it. I love how it can be used as a single or double. It seems to get through all terrain because of it's larger wheels. I bought some of the extras like the hanging bag that holds drinks and has a zippered compartment, as well as the hanging bag for the front passenger. I love that it is versatile and lays flat for a newborn. I get so many questions about this stroller when we are out and about. I highly recommend it. The only drawback is that it is more expensive than other strollers, but this is one that you will be able to use for a long time. It is also pretty heavy.

I Love my phil & teds Sport Double Stoller

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

Upon finding out we were expecting our secound cchild we decided to get a double jogger. We Did a lot of research. We found Phil and ted very popular. We went to a local Botique that sold them and they sold us... It was amazing.  We went with the sport for the easy to maneuver funtions of it.... This was the only double joggy that would fit in our trunk and wasnt side by side.  That way I can take it to the mall.  It looks cool too, so if you get one get ready to be stoped- A lot!!! People love it.  Its great to jog with and I love that It can be a single or double. My only complaint was no cup holders for the kids or me.... We got some on ebay for super and ted has some great accesories.  cheap! Plus I believe Phil

I feel like this stroller was worth the price for sure... its durable and well made.. I will definatly suggest to all of my firends they invest in a phil and teds stroller or even other product of theirs.

This seat will take you from infant to booster for only $130

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

I received an Evenflo Triumph Advance carseat to review for an online website and have been using it for the past week.Cosmetics - Cosmetically this seat is appealing to parents who want a seat that will blend in with their vehicle's interior. No fun patterns or prints like Britax, but there are several cover choices depending on price point and where it's purchased. I received "Durango" but there are others available on the Evenflo website.The fabrics are plush & comfortable, though as the previous reviewer commented because ours has "leather" patches on it, it is recommended to spot clean only.

Hardware - The chestclip is the traditional Evenflo chestclip. All ...

Absolutely love the Phil & Ted's stroller with the doubler seat

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

My first two sons are eighteen months apart. We originally bought just the Phil & Ted's single knowing that soon we would buy the double seat for our second son. We have had it for over three years and it is holding up amazingly well. We get so many compliments and questions about it when we are out and about and I recommend it to everyone. It manuevers so easily and smoothly. It folds up very quickly and simply and it is not too heavy. I am petite and it is easy for me to lift it into the back of our SUV. It is a very durable stroller, we have taken it on many vacations and my husband has used it as a jogging stroller (as a single, not with the double seat attached). We have been so happy with this stroller. We also have the plastic wind cover and the handle bag, both of which come in handy. I especially love the handle bag so cups, small snacks, my keys and wallet. It is a helpful addition.

These strollers are amazing!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

These strollers have the best of everything! They are perfect for the family that wants a double stroller, but doesn't want double wide or double long. It is rugged enough to take jogging or on a rocky trail.

The front seat of the stroller can sit upright or lay flat for an infant. The 2nd seat can be placed either in front if the main seat is laying flat or in the back if both children are sitting up.

The stroller folds flat enough to fit nicely in the trunk of a car. It is not too bulky or heavy.

I cannot count the number of people that have stopped us on the street or in the store to ask us about this stroller. Everyone is amazed that it is a double stroller.

This has been the best investment our family has made as far as children's accessories go. I can't say enough good things about these strollers!

The only thing I would say is buy an attachable cup holder, because sadly this one does not come with any.

Buy the next model up for better features

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

I've now owned this stroller for two years, and while I highly recommend Phil and Teds to everyone I know with two small children, I think that the Sport could use some improvements.  If I could go back and redo my purchase, I'd buy either the Vibe or the newer Explorer model.  I've seen both of those in person (friends own them), and those models greatly improve upon the Sport for only about $100 more. 

I love the small footprint of the Phil and Teds with doubles kit, compared to other double strollers.  Both of my kids enjoy riding in the front seat or the back seat.  It is easy to push, easy enough to fold (you do have to remove the second seat to fold it, but th...

Phil and Ted Sport

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

We have had the phil and ted sport stroller for a couple of years now. I love it! I love that it can be used from the time your baby is born up until they are big. Then when another baby comes along, you can add them in also. We researched long and hard before we spent the money on a stroller. I didn't want to end up with four or five strollers like a lot of people do, and I think we did pretty well. There are a couple of cons though. It is pretty pricey, the front wheel definitely shakes if you get into a fast jog or run, and it does take up a lot of space in the car. Oh and it doesn't have a cup holder. I would not recommend this stroller if you only have a sedan. It will take up the whole trunk. We had a cheap umbrella stroller for the trunk and for the airport, but otherwise we use the phil and teds stroller. It has been a great purchase and I can't wait to try it out when we have two kids. It is pricey, but I think we'd buy it again.

Best doubles stroller

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

We have the Phil and Teds Sport Buggy in Red (with doubles feature) 2008. When daughter was an infant, we just used the Graco snap n go (attached to her infant seat), but once she was a little older can could hold her head up, we put her in this and she loves it. It's sturdy, the wheels/tires are inflatable which give it a super smooth ride...hardly feels any bumps, the steering is perfect which is nice in tight spaces (like the mall/stores). We haven't used the doubles feature yet, but plan to in the future.  We also bought the handle bar bag attachment for extra storage. The few negative things about this stroller are that is somewhat difficult to fold up. Once you get the hang of it, it is doable, but rather cumbersome. The other negative is the sun canopy is so short that it doesn't really keep out the sun. We bought a rayshades from Babies R Us and that has a great canopy.  We just attache that to the Phil and Teds. All in all, great stroller, we are not disappointed.

This is the Swiss Army Knife of Strollers!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

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...

Only stroller you will ever need!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I bought this stroller not long after I found out I was pregnant with my 2nd child.  I got a lot of use actually using it as a double before he was even born as when I went out with friends we would just take my stoller.  I have the e3 version too and before the recall for this it did break my finger one time collapsing it not long after I got it.  After that I don't think I ever collapsed it  again, lol, I left it up and just put it in the back of my minivan.  My favorite use it for the mall as I am a shopaholic and it fits perfectly through all of the narrow shopping racks.  It also steers beautifully, even with one hand and a baby on the hip!  Again, the last stroller you will ever need.  I did buy a combi side by side double one time but promptly returned it as it did not fit through any aisles in the mall!

Do not buy the Phil and Ted Sport

Overall
Rated 1 out of 5

I bought the Phil and Ted sport after much research.  I was very excited about the great design and thought that the short comming of limited storage would be more than offset by the great design.  I already had a Chariot double for use at home for frequent long walks and was looking for something that I could use for my almost 3 year old and newborn out and about with the car.

From day 1, this stroller has failed to perform as I expected it too.  I was use to my Mountain Buggy Urban, which pushes like a dream, with one hand, super easy.  The phil and ted stroller, even without the doubles seat, pales in comparison, it is very hard to push with one hand, a huge problem w...

My kids love sitting in the back!

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

I bought the Phil and Ted's E3 Sport after doing a lot of research. I chose it because the size was easier to manuver around stores and other crowded places and could use it as a jogger. At first I thought that once my baby got older she would not want to be stuck in the back seat, but now she is 18 months and she fights with my three year old because they both want to sit in the back. It is great because they can't really mess with each other like they could sitting side by side. I also like the fact that now that my 3 year old is in preschool I can take off the backseat and it is a single stroller.

One of the downsides is that it is a heavy stroller. You have to be pretty strong to take i...

Functional but highly flawed

Overall
Rated 3 out of 5

First off, made in China. Substandard strapping and clips, heavy metal tubing, and poor engineering are problems with this stroller. The weight of this stroller is a real drawback and the single biggest reason for my returning it. Anodized aluminum tubing and tire rims and some improvements in the basic design would have made this stroller king. Some genius decided to opt for cheaper steal tubing, thin nylon strapping and crappy straps, probably when they were negotiating the contract for the item to be produced in China. Probably the worst flaw on the stroller is the brake. It is clear someone designed the stroller to look sleek and modern and the brake was an afterthought. The instructions...

awesome for siblings!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I have owned a Phil & Ted's e3 for about 3 years now (mine is actually gray :). I bought mine used off of a friend - who owned it for about 3 years before I purchased it off of her - so this stroller has been well loved for over 6 yrs - and is still going strong. I have the doubles kit, and a side saddle bag (which I hardly ever use). I also have the infant carseat adaptor for a peg primo viaggio - and it is fabulous.

Favorite features: LOVE how smoothly it swivels. Love how I can do 2 kids at once! Like I said I have the infant car seat adaptor - and the manual says that you are not supposed to use the doubles kit (the lower seat) while using an infant car seat - but I do (I have an infant and a 3 yo) and it works fine. It is a little tight but my 3 yo wiggles in w/o a problem.

the only con I can think of is that it is bulky and takes up a lot of room in my trunk - but well worth it IMO :)

The best and only stroller we will ever need to own!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

After the birth of our third daughter we took a look outside in our garage at the myriad of strollers, a single, a double, a single jogger, a double jogger, and an umbrella stroller. We couldn't bear to part with any of the strollers because they all served such different functions but keeping so many strollers for our family size was a bit ridiculous. That is when we decided to get a Phil and Teds. We were able to sell all our strollers on craigslist and purchase the one stroller for only $50 (after selling the others). It is hands down the best baby purchase we have ever made. We are now expecting another little one and are excited to have this stroller. Our favorite feature is that it onl...
